for anyone who would like to ask questions. This is an opportunity to ask any question that you might have on your mind. Now is the time ask those questions while the gentlemen from the different agencies are available. Russell Walker , I wonder, as we previously discussed during the trip, is there a possibility that a single individual could be appointed to disseminate all information from the numerous agencies involved? It would be much easier if we were able to deal with one individual who could act as a liaison for the 5 or 6 involved agencies. I offer that as a suggestion. Peter T. Coleman All right, we can discuss that. It's going to be difficult to select a single individual unless we work directly with Mr. Ray. These are different agencies but perhaps he could be our contact point. The Trust Territory contact point for information really is the Department of Interior. The Department of Interior then has its people contact the various agencies in Washington. Perhaps I could respond to that a little bit. There is right now no single agency that has a total comprehensive responsibility for the future activities here. But I am sure that we who have some connection with the Washington scene fee] that it is a very necessary easly step to be taken. I think that for the time being, it is appropriate to say that Peter T. Coleman is the central location and that for the moment he will have to Roger Ray suffer with the fact that he's got to deal with several agencies. I think that he appreciates that too. We are all very much interested in seeing a central coordinating effort made very quickly and we have talked earlier today about taking some steps in that direction. lease don't think that I am not perfectly willing to communicate with anybody in this room at anytime, but I think it would be a sort of diversion from a very much needed agency level coordination in Washington. Does that answer your question? Russell Walker Peter T. 5002548 Coleman I think that clarifies the situation. I think it would be mich more satisfactory if for imstance, that if Mr. Olsen could write to a single source for information. Am I to understand then that Mr. Coleman will be our source of contact for the various agencies? Yes. That will still leave you free to communicate with anybody. I think for the coordination of information to our office we do have the opportunity to utilize the Department of Interior people to contact the various agencies in Washington et anytime. -13-
