R. E. Hollingsworth -h- Our recent experiences with Eniwetok have demonstrated an urgent necd for agency-level coordination of future United States actions pertaining to that Atoll. The visit of the Marshallese in May included senior members of the Trust Territory Administration headed up by the Deputy High Commissioner, the District Administrator of the Marshall Islands District, Micronesian Congressman Ataji Balos (a severe critic of U. S. actions in Micronesia), the Magistrate end a Councilman from Ujelang (the present home of the Fnivetokese), the District Attorney of the Marshall Islands and several attorneys who are in a lawyer-client relationship to the Eniwetok leaders and people. fhe thrust of the visit, as evidenced by a close-out meeting on May 20th was the urgency of an early return, the determination on the part of the Marshallese to determine their own destiny by drawing up their ow specifications for rehabilitetion, their dismay at the continuing use of their lands for a variety of apparently unrelated and uncoordinated purposes and, specifically regarding the lawyers, their clear intention to document in detail current and future UnitedStates actionsfor lateruseinbehalf oftheir clients. (By a separate informal memorandum, this latter point has been brought to the attention of the General Counsel, Hq). Because there was no designated spokesman for U. 5. Government interests at the May 20th meeting and because there were issues and questions of multi-agency concern, my representative who attended at the request of the Deputy High Commissioner accepted . responsibility for two actions: a. to convey to appropriate national level authorities the need for central U. S. Government coordination of all future actions pertaining to Eniwetok. b. _to convey to the same authorities the desire and the need of both the Marshallese and, in their behalf, the Trust Territory Administration for current and accurate information regarding United States actions and intentions. (In this connection, it is noted that there is in the tape recorded record of the meeting an acknowledgement by the Deputy Hish Commissioner that until March 1972 the Trust Territory Administration was not aware of the PACE Program, although quite substantial efforts on that program had then been underway at Eniwetox for some months. } Lf believe that the conditions set forth in this memorandum ~ strongly suggest the establishment at the Washington level of a single manager for all future United States actions pertaining
