Potential Problems
Assuming that the Departwent of the Interior choosea to reaffirm the
Apvil 1972 statement of Ambassador Williams (abeut return of the
atoll by the end of 1975), a conflict in scheduling between Interior
and LOD could well develop. 4 protracted PACE program would
undouptedly interfere with Interior's schedule for return of the
Atoll, &ven a Limited PACE
on Interlor's schedule. No
ve way also be hard pressed
cecisions regarding release
program will probably have some effect
time appears to be left for cleanup.
to obtain data to support well considered
