Subject: (abolition-usa) Marshall Islands Put US Secretary of State Albright on Notice re: Kwajalein

fyi:

it is still early to tell how the disputes between landowners of Kwajalein
Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI, the RMI Government, and
the USA may play out in the politics surrounding US National Missile Defense
system. will have to wait and see.

TOO MUCH seems to be happening in the "Pacific" Ocean right now. The Pacific
is certainly not pacific!

MARSHALLS PUT U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE ALBRIGHT ON NOTICE REGARDING KWAJALEIN

MAJURO, Marshall Islands û (May 12, 2000 û Marshall Islands Journal)

- ---Lawyers for Kwajalein landowners delivered an ultimatum last week to U.S.
Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright: talk to us within 14 days or we
will start actions to remove the United States from the Kwajalein missile
range. The Kwajalein demand comes as the Clinton administration and the U.S.
Congress are debating funding for theater and national missile defense
systems, which are now being field-tested at Kwajalein.

Scott C. Taylor, who is representing Kwajalein Senators Imata Kabua, Ataji
Balos and Sato Maie among other prominent landowners, delivered the
ultimatum to Secretary of State Albright on May 1, demanding to talk with
State Department negotiator Allen Stayman.

Both Stayman and the RMI national government have turned a cold shoulder to
requests to talk with the Kwajalein landowners, he said.

Stayman told the lawyers that they should address their concerns to the RMI
government. But Taylor said the national government doesn't own land at
Kwajalein and "has no authority to speak or act on behalf of the Kwajalein
landowners."

The RMI government "has declined to participate in our efforts and has
failed to recognize or address the concerns of the displaced people of
Kwajalein," Taylor said in his May 1 letter.

While Kwajalein landowners do not want to jeopardize any aspect of U.S.
missile testing, "we do, however, intend to address by whatever means
necessary what we see as grossly inadequate payments to our clients for the
use of Kwajalein, which is unquestionably invaluable to the U.S.," he said.

Taylor asked Albright for an "opportunity" to discuss these issues with
Stayman. "If we are unable to do so within 14 days, we will be left with no
alternative but to begin proceedings, on which we believe we stand on firm
legal ground, to remove the U.S. from Kwajalein," he said.

Landowners would prefer to reach an agreement that would provide fair
compensation to the landowners as well as secure for the U.S. its continued
presence at Kwajalein, without interruption, for an agreed upon duration,
Taylor said.



RMI READY TO WORK WITH KWAJALEIN OWNERS

MAJURO û Marshall Islands (May 18, 2000 û Marshall Islands Journal)---RMI's
Foreign Minister Alvin Jacklick has repeatedly told Kwajalein landowners
that the national government is happy to raise any issues the landowners
want addressed in upcoming negotiations with the U.S., a Cabinet official
told the Journal.

"We've been most cooperative in raising issues (for Kwajalein)," said
Minister Gerald Zackios, who indicated that the same couldn't be said for
the landowners.

His comments were made in reaction to a letter from Kwajalein attorney Scott
Taylor to U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Commenting on Taylor's contention that the RMI has no authority to act on
behalf of Kwajalein, Zackios said the land use agreement for Kwajalein is a
"legally binding agreement between the RMI government and the landowners,"
which guarantees U.S. use of Kwajalein.

It is a government-to-government agreement so any discussions on Kwajalein
have to go through the government, he said.

MEDIA ADVISORY

TRANSMUTATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES IS =93NUCLEAR ALCHEMY GAMBLE=94
Expensive Technology Would Increase Environmental, Health, Safety
and Weapons Proliferation Risks, According To New Report

WHEN: Wednesday, May 24, 2000 -- 10 am

WHERE: Zenger Room, National Press Club 13th Floor, 529 14th Street, NW,
Washington, DC

WHO: Dr. Arjun Makhijani, President of the Institute for Energy and
Environmental Research (IEER), who has written numerous articles, reports,=
 and

The report analyzes expensive proposals now under consideration by Congress=

the US Department of Energy, as well as in other countries such as France=

Japan, to transform highly radioactive wastes into less dangerous materials.
The authors warn that these schemes will not solve the problem and will
increase the environmental, health, safety, cost and weapons proliferation
risks.

   12 noon! Bring Signs, Banners, music, voice and spirit to the White=
 House,
option for CD.  Come to the meeting or call for more information.

Events will be held in the following locations:

Takoma, WA Bruce Triggs 253.572.6582 [e-mail]

BACKGROUND: On Thursday, May 18, the U.S. Congress dismissed the Moakley
mendment, accepted the Pentagon proposal to close the SOA and open an SOA
Clone  the very next day. The House opted to change the SOA=92s name rather=
 than
close its doors. The name is basically all that is changed. The Pentagon=92s
deceptive proposal is not a move towards responsible policy for Latin=
 America.
It is merely an attempt to silence those working for human rights and=
 justice.
It is an attempt to silence the bloody truth about the School of Assassins,=
 but
THE TRUTH CANNOT BE SILENCED!

Support in the House was strong and the amendment lost by only ten votes!=
 All
week long people fighting to close the SOA lobbied on Capitol Hill, but=
 human
rights activists weren=92t the only ones lobbying. Secretary of the Army=
 Caldera,
Col. Weidner and Colin Powell were there lobbying to keep the SOA open at=
 any
cost. This shows we are the threat of a good example, we are winning and now=
 is
the time to rise up!

Register your outrage at the congressional vote to accept the Pentagon=92s=
 SOA
Clone. Let the White House, the Pentagon and Congress know that we are not
falling for the Pentagon deception and we REJECT THE SOA CLONE!

Come to Washington to participate in civil disobedience and demonstrations=
 at
the White House, Pentagon and other locales, hook into organizing in your=
 own
community or organize yourself! Bring your spirit of hope and resistance,=
 bring
your outrage, bring your passion, bring your creativity and bring your=
 puppets
and banners and help send the message that the SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS MUST=
 BE
CLOSED!
