Two weeks ago I cabled the President and informed him that this report was
now ready for presentation and I asked that we be permitted to come here
this week to meet with those of you representing the islands that were
surveyed, and any others who might be interested.
We all regret very much that President Kabua cannot be here today.

He

informed me that he could not be; however, he said that we would be welcome
to come ahead and meet with you, and knowing that I expect to meet with him
next week and he will get a personal briefing on the report.
We appreciate very much your coming in to be with us here so that we could
come to one place to make this presentation.

At later dates we hope to

visit your home islands and at least answer questions that people may have
and perhaps make a presentation if that seems worthwhile.
What we would like to suggest this afternoon is that Mrs. Buck will go

through the booklet using the slides.

(and) She will not read it entirely

but she will summarize what is on each page, summarize each chapter of the

book.

(and) We will be pleased to answer questions during and after that

presentation.

We would suggest that the questions be questions of

explanation of what she has said rather than questions of broadening
outside of what is in the book.

Then after you have had a chance to study

it, to look it over tonight and tomorrow, we would like to suggest that
tomorrow afternoon we would meet with you and entertain any questions that
may have come up as a result of your reading.

Does everyone now have a copy of the (of the) colored pamphlet?
(Right there on the table in front. etc. Coming up.)
Does anyone have a question or suggestion before we proceed?
Alice Buck:

Yes.

Ray:
