 http://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/group-tries-to-get-reparation-funds-for-people-exposed-to-trinity-test/1032459155, By: KRQE Media  Mar 12, 2018 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A group is wanting to convince Congress that New Mexico should get reparation funds, decades after testing the first nuclear bomb at the Trinity Site.

“The people of New Mexico have been waiting 73 years for acknowledgment of the suffering that people have endured here after radiation they were exposed to during the Trinity Test,” said Tina Cordova of Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium.

The Tularosa Basin Downwinders say tens of thousands of residents near the Trinity Site were exposed to radiation during the world’s first atomic bomb test.

Now, they always want to testify in front of Congress.
