about your observation that a supplemental environmental
impact statement may be required with respect to the
proposed resettlement of Enjebi.
Within the last few
days I have been able to focus on the question and I
would like to share my views with you.
You know firsthand the intensity of the feeling of the
people of Enewetak regarding the resettlement of Enjebi.
In- May of 1972 they made the first visit to the atoll
Since leaving it in 1947.
At a meeting chaired by Peter
T.
Coleman,
then Deputy High Commissioner,
on behalf
of the Trust Territory Government, a pledge was made to
permit the people to plan the resettlement.
Steps were
immediately taken to develop a master plan for the program.
