Inevitably, the situation may grow worse if our leadership do not alter By: Erwin D. Qmham a diffe~ent course of action. I do not intend to blame anybody but the urgency emphasizes the need to focus on problems directly effecting our Island Territory in the Northern Marianas Commonwealth particularly as a whole. Among all the mixed blessings to which the Foreign Service of the United States is To address the problem simply by accusing one over the other in connection with the exposed, none is more completely mixed than the visiting Congressional committee.

Some of the congressmen are the issues by keepmg mformed, suggesting, and by promoting change with a healthy back on the mainland, some of them are in Thailand or Sri Lanka, and some of them diversity of new ideas and values. We must start to develop a better relationship and are persistently sounding off. good qualities of life as we know them and to crank them into tools of progress for a All too often, they confuse the officials of the country they visit, they confuse the better future for our children and our communities. harassed members of the United States Foreign Service stationed there, they confuse our hard working and dedicated leaders lets stop the fire burning and shapeup our the State Department back in Washington, and they confuse American public opinion. !o mfant commonwealth government and prove to the outside world that we are capable is a temptation to tum themselves into instant experts on complicated situations There to demonstrate love, peace and understanding. and countries where they may stay as long as twenty-four hours. It sounds as if I am hostile to wandering Congressmen. Not really so. I said they Hafa Adai, were a mixed blessing. On the plus column is the possibility that they may come Martin M.

They can be greedy and boorish, administer personnel administration services in the Northern Marianas. Therefore, the demanding expensive perquisites which often come out of the pockets of the foreign Governor's scare tactic and propaganda in hinting that there may be a possible lay-off service officer. They can eat too much and above all they can drink too much. Some will not accomplish anything except to confuse the employees. terribly embarrassing things can happen.

One Commission, government employees other than those specifically exempted are congressman, emerged from Hanoi, said the United States should open diplomatic subject to the jurisdiction of the code of public regulations under Title 61 which relations with Vietnam right now, tonight.

Which is right? One, the Assistant Secretary of State, is a long-time Asian specialist. (4) Budgetary problems do not pennit the Governor to legally lay-off government The other Congressman is involved in a hundred other issues, most particularly those employees in violation of Title 61 of the Trust Territory Code. of his own district. My own personal judgement is near the Congressman's, for I In retrospect, I wish all government employees, especially those who have received believe diplomatic relations should merely recognize the existence of the government, threatening letters, to con•irme to report to work. Your employment is fully not pass judgement on its quality. But I respect the fact that the Assistant Secretary's protected under the Civil Service System and if you are displaced, you have a valid position is deeply involved with the whole compl~x relationship of Vietnam, China, claim against the Civil Service Commission and against the Government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

The Northern Marianas Commonwealth Legislature wishes that you keep them posted Some Congressional delegations are serious and some are frivolous.
