I would like to assist in this coordination and also to collect as much information as we can from photographs and other reports that are in existence so that we can build up a collection of basic information that will be of assistance in carrying out our mission. Peter T. Coleman There had been publication which will assist us in determining the proper names of these islands. He has maps that will identify the 3 islands that are no longer there. Maynard Neas Last year Lands and Surveys promoted and carried out a project which included one volume listing all of the islands of the Trust Territory. Dr. Bryan of the Bishop Mission prepared the booklet. Each island of the Trust Territory is given a number, the local name is given, the name given on the Japanese charts, the name given on the German charts and the Joint Task Force 7 code name and other military code names. Peter T. Coleman George Nakanishi I would like to introduce George Nakanishi who has been working in the Trust Territory for many years as an Agriculturist Expert. George would you have something to say. ‘My job is to compile the necessary data to substantiate a planting program and see that some of the islands that were disturbed will be put back in to its former condition or better. We will be making plans for rehabilitation of the islands by planting coconuts. on some of the islands that people will be living on and other subsistence crops such as breadfruit if it is possible. We will investigate means to make it little better than it was in the past by making a study of groundwater system and perhaps utilizing modern irrigation methods to make these things come to pass. Much of the land has been disturbed and soils mixed up because of construction. It's going to be a difficult task in some areas to get the plants to~grow. However, we feel that this is possible and all of the--- lands that the people feel should be planted in coconuts will be worked on. A report will be submitted to the administration as to how extensive the program will be as soon as we find out exactly what islands are going to be involved in this study. Peter T. Coleman Together with what George had said, we were talking yesterday about after the test the land will be restored and coconuts will be planted. If there is any planting at all, I would suggest that we're informed because the selection of seedlings will be very important on this type of place. Rather than pick the seedlings off the coconuts trees here, George might have in mind 90025959 -20- getting
