are with the welfare of the peonmle involved.

The Committee notes that,

as with the issue of Rongelap, the Administration many times in the past has
reacted defensively concerning certain issues raised, or to criticisms
about existing problems instead of sitting down with those who raised the
issues or made criticisms and trying to find out just what was wrong or
how the situation could he corrected,

Relative to this,

the Committee is

pleased to note the excellent cooperation of the executive branch with
this committee of the Congress which has perhaps,

in part,

resulted from

a greater understanding by the executive branch of the rerplexing problems
and difficult issues involving the people of Rongelay and Utirik.

The

Committee is happy to note this apparent change and hopes that it presages
increasing cooperation between the executive and legislative hranches of the
Trust Territory Government in the future,

concerning the subject matter of

this report, as well as other considerations affecting the interests and
well-being of the people of Micronesia.
