pending upon the exact nature of the relationship
worked out between you and the Marshall Islands in the
current negotiations.
I also appreciate that you do
not represent the United States on all matters concerning Micronesia and, indeed, as you know from our
previous conversation, my view of the matter is that
all of these claims and needs arise out of use, or
misuse if you will, by the trustee, of the property and
beneficiaries of the trust.
Nonetheless, because of
the potential deleterious effect of your current approach to negotiations with the Marshall Island Political
Status Commission upon the vital interests of our
clients, we would be happy to make ourselves available
to you or a member of your staff while you are on
Saipan next month to discuss these matters.

Sincerely
Theodore R.
