p. 15 · Read in the full issue
The Marianas are to have separate talks with the US on their future.
They got permission to do this at the Palau meeting, after their dele gates asked for a separate “close political relationship with the US”.
Just what kind of relationship this will be will have to be worked out, but US Ambassador Williams said the US would still seek to terminate the UN trusteeship in all six districts simultaneously.
The Marianas in recent years have made petitions to the UN and the US, and passed resolutions in the local legislature, asking for closer, permanent ties with the US.
