Mayor Kelen addresses the delegation from DOE regarding Bikini Atoll.
Mayor Kelen, Senator Juda and Councilman Preacher Balos meet with DOE delegation.
This week the KBE Council met to discuss the $5.1 million budget demanded by the US Interior Department for the KBE local government for fiscal year 2010 due to the worldwide economic decline and the resulting decrease in the Bikinians’ trust fund. This new budget will mean some very drastic changes for the people of Bikini.
Mayor Kelen, Senator Juda, some of the KBE Council, Johnny Johnson, and Trust Liaison Jack Niedenthal met in Majuro with representatives from the US Department of Energy to discuss the status of Bikini Atoll and the ongoing US monitoring of the radiological situation on the islands.
So what where the drastic changes of the budget? Are you going to post a copy of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

To Whom It May Concern,
What are the drastic changes do we expect for the fiscal year 2010 due to Bikinians’ trust funds? Are the schoolarship funds be available? Meetings in the mainland or Hawaii if requirement does not requires physical present can that be done by “Yahoo messenger or Skype” with webcam or Video teleconferencing. What kind of assistance can Mr. Jibas provide for “the Bikinians’ living in Northwest Arkansas and what is his contact numbers or address? Will the Bikini Atoll Medical Plan in the future be available for students seeking higher education?
Respectfully,
Kia Kato
