NOTES: |
"For the past 11 years, Micronesians have been conducting a civilized fight for independence which has taken place mainly around a conference table." "...the discussions have been excruciatingly polite, as befits the temperament of these gentle people...they have shown so little rancour or bitterness against their U.S. masters for 35 years of (expensive) neglect." "So what of the future? The Marshalls initialed their Free Association agreement in January at Kona, Hawaii, and initialed it again with changes in late October...the Federated States of Micronesia initialed the compact, and Palau was expected to follow suit immediately after its Nov. 4 elections." |
