Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This joint resolution formally apologizes on behalf of the United States to the people of the Marshall Islands for harm caused by the U.S. nuclear weapons testing program conducted there between 1946 and 1958, which exposed civilians to radiation and caused long-term health effects. The resolution acknowledges the U.S. government's responsibility for the testing and radioactive contamination, urges completion of groundwater studies at the Runit Dome containment structure, commits to securing healthcare coverage for cleanup workers, and reaffirms the importance of the Compact of Free Association between the two nations. The resolution explicitly states it does not authorize claims against the United States or supersede existing agreements.
