Potential Problexs

. Assuming that the Department of the Interior chooses to reaffirm the .
April 1972 statewent of AnbDassador Williams (about return of the
—
Atoll by the end of 1973), a conflict in scheduling between Interior |
ond DOD could well develop. A protracted PACE program would |
undouotedly interfere with Interior's schedule for return of the

Atoll.

Even a limited PACE program will probably have som effect

cn Interlor’s schedule. No time appears to be left for clean.
We vay also be hard pressed to obtain data to Supportwell considered
cecisions5 regarding release of the Atoll,
