Ambassador Rosenblatt December 20, 1978 Page 4 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.
