They say, look at these Bikinians, the Americans are giving them money and food, they are so lucky. The trust fund is good, it helps us, it works. It's tough because it has rules, but we are always able to take care of ourselves because of the way it works, and that is so important. But the money is never enough it seems, there is always something more or better that we want for our lives and our children's lives. Bikini is a gift from God, it is not something that gets forgotten.
Money comes and money goes.
That's a tough question that will require a lot of thought and study. I just don't know if we'll have enough money to do the cleanup the way we want it done on Bikini. Bikini will probably never be the way it was when God gave it to us. That was their own promise to us so many years ago and we want them to honor their own words. Never mind if the Compact ends, we want them to take care of us to the best of their abilities.
