Analysis of the documents will serve to integrate existing
information.
Moreover, results will allow investigators to

chronology of events will be prepared beginning with the

with key federal representatives will serve as the resource for
this effort.
The chronology will include the number and nature
of contacts with Marshallese made by federal represen-
