Suit claims landowner induced to sign lease

b y T e r i M . F io r e s

A civil suit claiming that Transamerica and several of its officers induced landowner Concepcion Wabol to sign an agreement that forfeited her rights as aCNMI citizen was filed in Superior Court early last month by her counsel, Ted Mitchell.

The suit alleges that Wabol was induced into signing an “option to lease agreement” to Transamerica Corp. on or about Jan. 22,1990.

The alleged lease agreement states that Wabol promises to lease her property to Transamerica should she win her case which she filed in 1984.

The 1984 case involves a violation of the Article XII of the CNMI Constitution which has yet to be decided on by the Supreme Court

The alleged agreement stated that Wabol was paid $25,000 by Transamerica for the option. It further stipulated that should the option be exercised, Transamerica can lease the property from Wabol at $2,500 a month for the next 55 years.

Theoptionfurtherstated thatWabol will receivea$150,000 up-front payment to cover the first five years of the lease and that Transamerica will build a three-bedroom house on the lot for Wabol.

However, Transamerica’s offer was waived after Wabol was allegedly induced to sign an amendment to the option to lease the property.

The Beach Road land is currently worth $5 M. and it is subleased by Transamerica from Philippine Goods.

Mitchell is asking the Superior Court to declare the option and other documents as void due to the “unlawful exercise of .fraud, undue influence and misrepresentation on Wabol.”

The Senate then decided to call a session Friday, but can­celled it and instead decided to conduct first a public hearing before finally saying yes to the bill.

Various government officials and department representatives were on hand to deliver their testimonies regarding the pur­pose of the proposed bill before the committee’s vice-chairman Sen. Juan Torres.

David M. O’Brien, vice- president and treasurer for Shell Marianas, said that as of March 1991, CUC owes them $7.4

million...’’an amount reconciled and agreed upon by the CNMI Director of Finance, CUC, and Shell.”

He said that for 7 months, “Shell made deliveries to the CUC, but for which it has not yet received payment...this amount far exceeds the 45 days of credit contracted.”

MPLC Board meet to tackle land issuesr e p o r t e r d e n i e d m e e t i n g a t t e n d a n c e

The final review and action on the proposal of Nakamoto En­terprises to designate the Samoan Housing area in Garapan for ho­tel development is one of sev­eral projects that was up for a decision in yesterday’s meeting of the Board of Director’s of the Marianas Public Land Corpora­tion.

Among the projects that were discussed yesterday include Marianas Agupa’s request for a revision of a survey plat for its Rota-Mochon lease, the approval of the lease agreement for the Niizeki Talofofo golf develop­ment and the final approval for the RFP for the Obyan Resort Development.

The board’s third quarter reg­ular meeting was held at the MPLC Conference Room on Capitol Hill.

The meeting started at about 8 a.m. yesterday however, a sec­retary from the MPLC denied the Variety access to the meet­ing.

She said that such meetings

are not open to the public as “personal matters” are included in the agenda.

The Variety then asked per­mission to attend the meeting to MPLC’s Executive Director B il 1 Concepcion however, he said in a telephone interview that the board was to discuss “personal matters.”

Among the “personal matters” that were kept confidential in­cluded the land exchange re­quests of several individuals. Land problems and public land requests were also discussed during the meeting.

Concepcion said that as of press time, (1:30 p.m. Monday) the board has yet to come out with its decision regarding the fateof the Samoan Housing area.

Three months ago, members of the House of Representatives approved Public Law 7-6 which designates the 1.2 ha. of prime Garapan land as a public park.

A petition asking Gov. Larry 1. Deleon Guerrero and the MPLC board to designate the

area as a public park was then circulated and about 400 indi­viduals signed to show support for the project

It was however revealed in a recent public hearing conducted by the house’s special commit­tee on the Samoan Housing Park Devt., thatthe MPLC’s Board of Directors had already tentatively approved the Nakamoto Enter­prises proposal to construct a 450-room first class resort hotel project worth $100 M. in the area.

Concepcion wasearlierquoted as saying that Nakamoto Ent. still has to meet several condi­tions set by the MPLC board before they can totally approve the developer’s proposal.

When asked by the committee if he is in favor of establishing a park for the Garapan area, Concepcion replied,”Do we re­ally need another park?”

“Are we really serious to put money and keep it in good con­dition?, Concepcion said.

702 talks not yet final, continues in Mayby Ronel B. Concepcion

CNMI’s request for the $500 million seven-year federal grant is not yet agreed upon as both the CNMI and the US Special Rep­resentatives of the third Cov­enant 702 talks agreed to hold another meeting in May. The “unfinished” 702 talks was held, last April 4 and 5 at the Aqua Resort Club.

The US President is repre­sented by OTIA Assistant Sec­retary Stella Guerra, together with team mates OTIA Budget Director Dave Heggestad and economic Counsel Rich Miller. The group departed from Saipan Saturday afternoon.

CNMI Representative and Ll GovemorBenjaminT. Manglona said that the “package proposal”

is now in Washington and under deliberation by appropriate people.

He said that they decided to hold the second round of the negotiation from May 16 to 17.

Manglona expressed hope to arrive at an agreed amount by July of this year.

The discussion “went pretty well...it is very fruitful and we would like to continue on with that kind of atmosphere on an agreeable amount in the end,” he said.

According to Manglona, CNMI Special Representatives were able to present the Commonwealth’s proposal dur­ing the two day talks...”asked them to provide us $500 M grant for various urgently and criti­cally needed infrastructure

projects.”“We heavily pressed funding

for the four major projects...”- the Talafofo water collection and treatmentsystcm; theSaipanport and harbor development project; Saipan’s sewage collection sys­tem and treatment plants; and the control tower.

He said that the US team wanted the CNMI group to ex­plain and clarify the need for those fundings...’’why do we need them, and whether or not we can fund those projects within our own local initiative.”

“We told them that in regard to government operation, we are willing to burden ourselves by following the same kind of ar­rangement we have for the cur­rent seven-years of reducing one

^ Meeting Place For Our□pinions And Yours.

cx»> Letters To The Editor |Dear Editor,

What has happened to the once beautiful people of the Marianas? Has the instant wealth and vast development spoiled us so much that we have become greedy and ungrateful of life in general?

We have become extremely arrogant and smug with our­selves that we have developed a condescending attitude towards the United States. Where are all these ugly sentiments coming from?

Have we forgotten the count­less acts of generosity that have been showered unto us by the Americans since WWII? My parents have nothing but praises to their American liberators. They told me of their warmth and kindness which was even extended to their enemies of the day.

Up to this present day, my mother constantly reminds me never to forget this.

When the President delivered his State of the Union address, I was so moved by it because it was like hearing my father tell one of his stories when the President praised a soldier who assured an Iraqi captive that ev­erything will be O.K. and fed him. That gesture certainly say a lot about Americans.

If my father were alive today, he would have been one damn proud American. He would have shared with me the same pride and appreciation for being a part of a great nation wonderfully spoken by its President

Where is our allegiance? Do we base it in the currency ex­change rate? Have we betrayed the U.S. by bowing to the Al­mighty Yen? We give them a hard time granting land for a post office yet we generously hand over a big chunk of land for a resort I hardly think we could ever afford a membership of.

Who did we call on when we realized the wrath of Typhoon Kim, when we were threatened by a possible encephalitis epi­demic, when a brown tree snake

was discovered, when a study of the volcanic activities in the Northern Islands was needed? Who else? The United States government!!

Whenever I encounter a prob­lem with Labor or Immigration, the officials will retort back, al­most abrasively, that the Com­monwealth is not under federal jurisdiction and that we should refrain from citing U.S. laws.

Well, maybe its high time that we start implementing them by calling for federal intervention. We have not done a good job by managing our affairs. We have made a mess of it.

Our legislators are behaving so irresponsibly and at the same time, immaturely. They have authored or enacted laws disas­trous to our culture and our children’s future.

I still remember how many people thought that the trip to the United Nations to vent out CNMI dirty laundry before the whole world was a farce. I equate the move to a slap on the face. When they returned, the media high­lighted the fact the the Soviets were most interested. It is 1991 fellas, what has Gorby done for us?

We are walking on a very fine line. Our geographical strategic importance is no more with the thawing of the Cold War. The US did not even bother to put up with a good fight for the military bases in the Philippines and Singapore has been very coop­erative with the United States.

We should not push our luck by putting the Covenant issue on the ballot this upcoming elec­tion. I understand that the De­partment of Interior has been running interference but they have some valid points.

The CNMI leadership fails to understand the complexity and the myriad of bureaucratic red tape to have to cut through. We cannot expect to obtain what we want by simply putting it into writing. I believe the CNMI Washington representative is beginning to discover this on his own.

There are many statesiders (Haoles or Man Apaka) return­ing to the Mainland disillusioned and unhappy about their treat­ment in the Commonwealth. Many have told me that one of the first things they will be doing upon their return home is to pen a letter to their state senators or congressmen about their mal­treatment and anti-American sentiments brewing amongst the locals.

They are chastised for exer­cising one of their rights as Americans when they become vocal about their observations. They said the US has no busi­ness in a place where they are not wanted.

It humiliates me to hear them say. that the locals do not like Americans, they just like money. It is a shame but, it is true. All we do is take, take take. When the federal government does an au­dit, we raise hell.

I believe the public does not mind a higher authority looking over us-someone to monitor and regulate spending.

I frankly do not care about the right to self-government issue. Until the public could be assured that every cent of federal fund­ing is spent wisely and appropri­ately, we should not assert our right to self-government.

The statesider taxpayer would not look too kindly upon mil­lions of their tax dollars pumped unaccounted for into a chain of islands in the Pacific which they never even heard of, specially when they discoverwhatabunch of ingrates we are.

I will be first to admit that there have been more than a few cocky Statesiders who have graced these islands but we can­not condemn the entire nation. We must be mature about it and ignore their obnoxiousness. Our legislators should cease the use of “persona non grata” resolu­tions. That legislative action is

unbecoming for a group of is­lands dependent upon tourism.

In conclusion, I truly long for the Chamolinian hospitality I once knew as a child. I would like to see a local family beckon warmly to a passing stranger to join them for a merienda or a meal.

I can still see a speck of this kindness left in the people of Tinian and Rota. I hate to see this disappear.

Let us try to go back to our former hospitable selves. We have no choice. It goes hand-in- hand with our island’s physical beauty.

Most importantly, let us show some kind of appreciation for the United States.We can never accomplish anything by con­tinuing this present trend. No other country would be as gener­ous as the US has been with flexing their military muscle to keep us in order. We must cher­ish this freedom so much as no other nation has fought harder for the cause of freedom than the United States. It has just recently proven that. Let us be at one wi th ourselves and with one Nation- the United States of America.

I apologize for some of my generalizations. I am sure there are those in the leadership who have sincerely sought for the betterment of the Common­wealth. The voters know who you are. More power to you.

Sincerely,/s/J.A. Sablan

Dear EditorIt is very encouraging to no­

tice the concern and willingness of the private sector to help edu­cation. The Saipan Chamber of Commerce through its organ, the education committee, is already contributing to improve educa­tion by sponsoring Homework Centers. Plans to organize an education conference sometime this year is another worthy project that was announced in the general membership meet­ing last Monday. I am person­ally in favor of any academic

exercise that brings together educators to exchange ideas and view points to critically analyze the issues and recommend fu­ture action strategies. This will be another action that would clearly indicate the business sectors’ genuine desire to be considered as the responsible citizens of the CNMI. However, without judicious planning the end resul tof this intellectual brain storming effort might very well be like any other similar endeavor in the past, and that is running out of steam in the follow up actions.

No matter what happens later, it would certainly be a forum for the sponsors to cultivate their goodwill in the community. However, if the main objective is to identify and estimate the future skilled manpower needs of various sectors in the CNMI then a more practical and cost effective alternative is to spon­sor a research study.

And the way to identify the prospective individuals to meet that demand would be to offer internships to students in vari­ous capacities such as service managers and receptionists etc. This concept is basically “Earn While You Learn”. The cost of this program is the extent of in­centive payments made to par­ticipating students while they hold part-time jobs. There is conclusive research knowledge to prove that such programs en­hance students’ performance in academics and boost their mo­rale. It also provides an opportu­nity to students tostreamline their career goals and objectives. It is all up to the Chamber of Com­merce to decide as to which al­ternative to choose. Whatever is the choice it will be an another action to show that the business are genuinely concerned about thecritical issuesconfronting the CNMI and be a partner with the government in resolving them. By all means it shows sense of responsible citizenship by the business community.

by Ronel B. Concepcion

Representative William Ada urged Monday the Marianas Public Land Corporation to postpone or completely disap­prove the resort proposal submitted by Nakamoto Enter­prises in the Garapan Samoan Housing area, where the pro­posed Garapan Park is also to be situated.

In a letter to MPLC Chairman of the Board of Directors on that day, Cong. Ada expressed dis­appointment, “shocked” to discover that MPLC has placed on its agenda yesterday the final review and action on the resort proposal.

As of presstime, information whether the MPLC approved the

hotel project proposal is not yet established, as MPLC people met behind closed-doors.

He said in the letter that the Saipan Delegation and the Sev­enth Legislature is “strongly opposed to the hotel project and favors the development of a public park there."

“There are many good reasons to delay any final action on this request proposal...and that I fear that the interests of the general public will be violated if ap­proval is given to Nakamoto.”

Ada’s letter reiterated to post­pone considering the hotel projecL.”unless you wish to disapprove it completely, which is also appropriate.”

Ada, likewise has written Governor Larry I. Guerrero as

early as Friday, aliening him of theMPLC’s foreseeabledecision to go ahead and approved the proposal by Nakamoto Enter­prises.

“There has been no compre­hensive planning for such development...the Zoning Board is just now beginning to operate for the very express purpose of ensuring appropriate and attrac­tive development.”

He said thatif in case the hotel projectpushes through, the board will be denied the opportunity to fulfill its obligation as mandated by law.

Ada contended that major problems will result in the cre­ation of a large hotel in the area and that the only benefit is economic..."but die net eco-

Mr. and Mrs. Hartley are the current owners, Ted is the Ceo, of RKO PICTURES. Their headquarter offices are in Los Angeles and New York.

An Aircraft carrier pilot dur­ing the Korean War, the release said, Ted first visited Saipan during the fifties. Now, in re­sponse to an invitation from Ted

and Jill Oxborrow, of Chalan Kiya, Hartley is enthusiastic to see the changes in the Northern Mariana Islands. He remembers Saipan as a “Beautiful Place”.

An accomplished actor, Hartley’s Hollywood career in­cludes Walk Don’t Run, with Cary Grant, High Plains Drifter, with Clint Eastwood, and Ice Station Zebra, with Rock Hudson, along with numerous television credits, stated the news release.

Dina Merrill, the daughter of E.F. Hutton and MarjorieMprriu/AiHhprPnc· isal5nawp.ll-

nomic benefits after costs are substracted do not outweigh other, which is more important quality of life considerations.”

He then is asking the Gover­nor, through the letter to support the people who “supported you...only a few investors and developers support a hotel.”

“Please...use your influence

as Governor to convince the MPLC not to make a mistake that our children will pay for later...” Ada pointed out.

On the other hand, Cong. Stanley Torres has also written the MPLC Friday telling them that the “worst thing” the MPLC can do is approve the hotel project.

Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) officials are looking into several possibilities including the use of snake sniffing dogs in its efforts to control the possible introduction of the brown tree snake on Saipan.

DFW officials are also con­sidering an intensified trapping system and the designation of a

special holding area for cargoes at the ports of entry to control the brown tree snake population on the island.

DFW officials including fed­eral research biologist Tom Fritts, Nick Kaufakis of Saipan Shipping, Frank Guerrero of the Div. of Plant Industry, Jerry Kintol of the Div. of Customs Services and Reno Cel is of the CPA discussed snake interdic-

tion and possible controls yes­terday at the snake control work­shop held at theTagaroom of the Aqua Resort Hotel.

The workshop is part of the DFW’s on-going public aware­ness program on the brown tree snake. The workshop was or­ganized to brief port and wildlife officials, including those in the cargo handling business, about the brown tree snake and its threat

to the CNMI.Roy F. Erwin,

a scientist from the Southwest Research Insti­tute in San An­tonio, Texas and in-charge of developing the program said that the dogs may of­fer a faster way of searching and detecting snakes in containers un­loaded at the dock or at the airport

Erwin is on- island to discuss with DFW offi­cials and with Lt Gov. Benjamin Manglona about the possible

implementation of the program.He said the program, which

may become effective in six months time, involves three phases, the first of which is an on-site visit to Saipan and Rota where the dogs can be trained.

The next two-phases of the program involves the training of dogs and their handlers and a series of periodic follow-up vis­its.

Erwin said that since the dogs have been proven to detect mari­juana and controlled substances in containers, there is a high pos­sibility that they can also detect snakes in containers.

DFW wildlife biologist Derek Stinson said that the DFW has asked a $45,000 assistance from the Lt. Gov. office to hire techni­cians as part of its plan to inten­sify the agency’s trapping pro­gram.

He also said that the DFW has already applied for a technical assistance grant from the Office of the Territorial and In­ternational Affairs so as to hire a

herpetologist.A herpetologist is a scientist

who studies reptiles and am­phibians.

DFW Chief Arnold Palacios proposed for an exclusive area to store high risk cargoes unloaded in both ports of entry.

The idea of a holding area is to check brown tree snakes that may be hidden in cargoes particularly those that come from Guam.

Koufakis of Saipan Shipping considers cargoes from Guam and construction materials as high-risk cargoes.

CPA representative Celis however said that he is not sure if there is an extra space at the dock to accommodate the rec­ommendation however, he said that officials conduct a thorough investigation to assure that no brown tree snakes are contained in the cargoes.

Stinson said that quarantine regulations should also be amended so as to minimize the threat of a brown tree snake population.

Division of Fish S Wildlife biologist Derek Stinson acts as a moderator during yesterda/s snake control workshop at the Aqua Resort Club. Sitting in his right are: Nick Kaufakis of Saipan Shipping, federal research biologist Dr. Tom Fritts, Frank Guerrero of the Division of Plant Industry, CPA's Reno Celis, Customs Services Jerry Kintol & DFW Chief Arnold Palacios.

B y H O W A R D G R A V E SAssociated Press WriterKOROR, Palau (AP) - Poli­

tics in Palau is never further away than the meeting of two people.

With its first presidential and vice presidential primary elec­tion 14 months away, the danc­ing has started.

At least five men are being talked about as candidates for president.

President Ngiratkel Etpison said last week he might seek re- election if he can’t find some­one he feels could continue the peace and harmony he has es­tablished since winning office

in November 1988.Vice-President Kuniwo

Nakamura, former presidential candidate Roman Tmetuchi, businessman Polycarp Basilius and attorney Johnson Toribiong are other potential candidates, say observers.

“Where else is there to go after you are vice president,” say Temmy Shmull, in response to a reporter’s question if Nakamura would seek the post in 1992. Shmull is a top aid to Nakamura.

Etpison, Tmetuchi and Nakamura each has a base of hard core supporters. Toribiong handles most of Tmetuchi’s le­gal aafairs. He is a community

activist, well liked and once was nominated by Etpison to me Palau’s minister of state. Toribiong turned down the nomination.

Basilius is a wealthy busi­nessman who, in the past, has worked behind the scenes for candidates for various elective offices. He was considered as a possible presidential candidate in 1988.

For the first time, there will be a primary election for the country’s top two elected posts. Etpison on Feb. 8 signed the primary election bill into law. The primary will be held on the second Wednesday in August.

The top two finishers in each race would run in the November general election.

The call for a primary came after Etpison won thepresidency with only 25.97 percent of the vote cast for seven candidates in 1988. Nakamura easily won the vice presidency against one op­ponent

Palau’s National Congress, known as the OEK, also ap­proved a bill calling forreappor- tionmentof the 14-member Sen­ate. Etpison also signed it into law on Feb. 8.

A seven-membercommission, which includes Toribiong, shall reapportion and redistrict the

Senate electoral districts. It also will establish the number of Sen­ate seats based on the 1990 cen­sus, patterns of voter registration and “propriety of single member districts.”

ThelawsaystheCongressional Reapportionment Commission “shall exercise its best efforts to publish its plan by no later than Dec. 31,1991. If the commis­sion fails to publish a plan within 120 days before the general elec­tion, the trial division of the Su­preme Court shall promulgate within 90 days before the next regular general election a reap­portionment or redistricting plan.”

KOROR, Palau (AP) - Presi­dent Ngiratkel Etpison is leaving the door ajar for re-election in 1991.

He says his bid for a second four-year term would depend on whether another candidate sur­faces who would maintain peace and stability in the archipelago with about 15,000 residents.

“I liave no personal ambition for this high office,” he said in an interview last week in his office whose windows still retain five bullet holes from a shooting inci­dent last December.

No arrests have been made in connection with thepost-midnight dariness shooting while Etpison was at home.

“I won’t move from here,” he said. “This is where the govern­ment of Palau is and this is where Fm going to stay. I’m not afraid andlwon’tback down to threats.”

Etpison, who will be 66 on May 3, said his greatest achieve­ment since winning the presi­dency in 1988 has been returning the tiny, isolated country to a “stable and harmonious” state.

“It has been done with God’s help,” said the deeply religious member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Serving as Palau’s president has been precarious. The country’s first elected president, HaruoRemeliik was assassinated in 1985, after one year into his second term. Lazarus Salii, the second elected president, com­mitted suicide in 1988.

Etpison won the presidency by 31 votesandwith25.97percentof the votes. He won out of seven candidates for the post.

“Re-election depends on what the people tell me when the time comes,” He said through a trans­lator. “If the people come up with another individual who will con­tinue the stability and urgently work on economic development, then I am ready to step aside.”

He said he was looking for a successor, but “if I don’t find someone then I may be forced" to seek another term.

Etpison said his choice of a successor would bean individual who would follow his 1988 cam­paign motto. “The people come first”

He also said an Interior Depart­ment secretarial orderimposed last

October is “demeaning to the peopleandgovemmentofPalau.”

Theorder tightened procedures for the national and state govern­ment to follow on spending and borrowing. The order also es­tablished a permanent Interior representative in Koror, the capitol and business center, who can ap­prove or suspend any national or state legislation.

Etpison said the secretarial or­der is “one more reason to solve our political status.”

Palau is the world’s only U.N. trust territory. In seven plebi­scites on a proposed Compact of Free Association with the United States, Palauans have failed to give a constitutionally required 75 percent approval.

“One thing is very clear,” Etpison said. “The constitution

has to be amended” so that the compact, already U.S. law, can be approved by a simple major­ity.

He said there is a possibility a constitutional amendment refer­endum will be held this year. “The Association of State Gov­ernors and the Council of Chiefs are in support of amending the constitution. The question is whether the OEK (Palau’s bi­cameral Congress) will directly place the question before the voters.”

Palau’s national Senate has approved a bill calling for a con­stitutional convention this year. However, the national House of Delegates has yet to act on the bill.

Motion top new trial toed by Saimón attorneyb y T e r i M . F lo r e sSuperior Court Judge Marty

Taylor placed under advisement a motion presented by convicted ex-cop Masaro Saimon’s coun­sel Pam Tower asking the court that Saimon be given a new trial based on newly discovered evi­dence.

Saimon was sentenced to 21 years in jail after he was found guilty of second-degree murder for die shooting death of his

common-law wife, police offi­cer Erlinse Santos.

Tower said in an interview that the evidence came in the form of a letter written by San­tos to a cousin whois in Pohnpei.

“The letter confirmed Er- linse’s suicidal tendencies. It basically stated that she was asking her cousin to help her get “Pohpeian magic help” and that she contemplated on killing her­self two months before the

incidenthappened,"Tower said.The letter was transmitted to

the Public Defender’s office af­ter it was received by prosecuting attorney Robert Kingsley several days prior to Saimon’s sentencing.

During sentencing proceed­ings, Taylor denied to grant Tower’s co-counsel Oldiais Ngiraikelau’s motion asking that Saimon be given another trial based on newly found evidence.

B i l l t o i m p o s e s t r i c t a l i e n

d e p o r t a t i o n h e a r db y R o n e l B . C o n c e p c io nA proposed bill that will completely ban and

impose stricter penalties for overstaying aliens was presented before the public during a hearing conducted recently.

Several government officials, together with community leaders presented various views on the measure. The activity was conducted by the Senate committee on immigration and labor, chaired by Sen. Jose Mafnas.

ThcStattitcisalsoimownasthelllegalDeterrcnt Act of 1990. was introduced by Senator Herman Guerrero on March 4,1990.

The proposed measure would provide for the following actions:

* Permanently bar any alien deported from the CNMI from ever re-entering again.

* Provide a mandatory 51,000 fine and thirty days imprisonment prior to deportation for anyalien whoiltegally remaxnsin theCommonwealth more than two weeks following the expiration of the entry'permit

* Relcasethe employer from any further liability for the non-resident wotker two weeks following provision of a planeticketto tftecoantry of origin,

Commerce and Labor Director Jack Torres, duringUhehearing, recommended dot due process rights of non-resident workers should not be compromised.

Abandonment, in our view, is a question of fact which must be proven at an evidentiary hearing by either an administrative agency or the court,” his testimony said.

It further said that the proposed bill is “unclear as to what action must precede a determination that the non-resident worker has left his employ-

ment..”Torres then recommends that computers and

personnel at theofficeof immigration should be provided, together with the possible establish­ment of a clearance counter at the ports of entry...”to screen all departing aliens.”

He stressed that additional laws, as far as the bill is recommending, without proper funding will only add burden to current “frustrations.”

Acting Chief of Immigration CharlesP. Reyes, in a submitted testimony, is commending the legislature for coming up with such legislation that will address resolution of this major prob-

He Said that their office “have gotten used to the legal obstacles most illegal aliens used in suspending their stay in the CNMI even if they are legally deportablc.”

Reyes raised die point that there is also a need to extend protection for spouses of local citizens whose entry permit“expired unintentionally un­der the current statute which make them deponable alien.”

A representative from the Attorney General office, on the other hand, cautioned thac “any enhanced penalties should be well considered and not cause more delays in the system and expense to the CNMI than the current system.”

The AG’s representative’s testimony stressed that since the currentcivildeportation law“seems to work well,and will be made mon? '-ffirientby authorized and proposed additional staff and equipment at the Immigration service, the ad­dition into the present civil enforcement system of mandatory criminal penalties for failure to depart is not called for this time.”

CUC debt approved, Shell. m a Continued from page 1

“...Shell has reached its limit and can no longer extend this level of credit to the CUC...we must now reserve the right to reconsider our contractual posi­tion should payment of the CUC debt not be received within a reasonable time frame,” O’Brien stressed.

CUC Executive Director Ray Guerrero, in his statement, cited several debts already paid by the CUC, and other successful pro­grams all coming from its own operational fund.

He stressed they need the $7.4 million to buy fuel...”there is money out there, but we need to spend our operational money to build and pay...”

A representative from the At­torney General’s Office told the committee that they have no comments and without objec­tion to the proposed measure bailing out the CUC...”full sup­port of it.”

Director of Finance Eloy Inos said that as early as December 1990, CNMI Governor Larry I. Guerrero have already guaran­

teed to pay CUC’s debt to Shell.He said that the debt then was

only placed at about $5.7 mil­lion, which will be paid through the administration’s financial plan for the CUC.

He stressed that the present amount, which is $7.4 million, debt period covering the months startingOctober 1990 until April1991 "will be supported by theGovernor because of the ur­gency.”

Inos added that they will strongly object to the bail-out amount if it is changed to around ten to fifteen million.

Sen. Juan Torres, who chaired the hearing in the absence of Sen. Herman Guerrero, said that they do not know that the CUC have accumulated such debt with Shell..."surprised now that they owe that amounL..there was no information then that they are that deliquent.”

Torres said that if they only knew of that beforehand, they would not have approved the $20.9 million power plant phase II.

Torres also told the CUC to stop ribbon cutting ceremonies and just spend the amount in paying their Shell debt, ques­tioning also the travels they are making in Manila.

CUC’s Guerrero responded that CUC utility employees are being trained in Manila to let them see its utility facilities which is four times better com­pared in Guam...’’best economical way of saving money.”

Torres further said that he can not just support the bill without conditions...”this should not be repeated again.Jess than two years ago, the legislature ad­vanced $13 million to bring the CUC back to its feet...now, here we are again.”

Torres’ continued on his comments regarding CUC’s in­capability to meet its obligations were answered back by CUC Chairman of the Board Joe Taitano.

Taitano said that it really hurts him to learn of CUC’s difficulties...”you have to re­

member that the CUC just existed...CUC have inherited all those obstacles.”

He asked Torres not to con­tinue critizing the CUC, and that he should realize several of CUC’s accomplishments in just a short period of time, especially under Guerrero’s fourteen months stay.

CUC’s Guerrero mentioned that the $ 13 million earlier allo­cated is only a loan and that the CUC is paying it back by offset­ting government utilities.

Guerrero added that the legis­lature, by that, is not really giving the CUC anything at all....”This $7.4 is only a loan also...”

He reiterated that the legisla­ture needs to help the agency and not to continue bad criticism...”go down with me and see our work.”

As an almost heated argument continues on, Sen. Torres re­sponded and said that Guerrero has been "lying since the very beginning.”

Guerrero said that he does not

want to be called a liar...”I have done my job...where are you then?”

Torres then continued on voicing out in the chamber various comments regarding the CUC’s operation, to which Guerrero said-"Somebody is feeding you the wrong infor­mation.”

As the hearing continues on, CUC’s Guerrero said that they have already paid its obligation to Taga Petroleum in full. He also said that fuel is only avail­able until today.

Finally, inquiries from Shell regarding immediate deliveries of fuel indicated that it can be immediately put into order as Torres showed recognition that he is also in support of the bill.

CUC’s Guerrero further re­quested Torres to possibly introduce a legislation that will provide for the disconnection of deliquent customers within 30 days non-payment compli­ance.

He said that this is one way for the CUC to survive.

million each year for the gov­ernment operations fund.”

Manglona explained that the proposal calls for the reduction of one million dollars each fis­cal year...”eventually,we hope that someday, we will be taking care of ourselves as far the government operation is con­cerned.”

Manglona stressed that the CNMI still needs federal support on infrastructure..."very few infrastructure were accom­plished under 40 years of Trust Territory administration...we

inherited a very old system when we became a Commonwealth.”

The next seven years can be considered as the “most critical period” of CNMI’s development.."what we need now is to be able to improve urgently needed projects,” he said.

Manglona cited that if CNMI’s infrastructure are not improved and developed, it could very weel hamper the Commonwealth’s future development.

CNMIRepresentatives further told the US group that CNMI’s

request for funding is also be­cause of federal constraints and other US requirements.

“The Federal government is telling us that if nothing is done in the sewage system, they are going to give us a citation...and since we don’t have enough funding, we will end up receiv­ing a citation,” he said.

“That is a constraint by the federal government, and we have to corect them...that is why we are asking money from them to correct infrastructure needs like that,” he mentioned.

The federal government is constraining the CNMI from using septic tanks and cespool in a homestead development be­cause it may contaminate water resources, he said.

“So, in other words, they are telling us that unless we put into place a sophisticated sewer system...they will nolongerper- mit us to use septic tank and cespool.”

The CNMI then will have to stop certain on-going developments...”it is only fair the US should give us the neces­sary funding so that we can im­mediately built major needs.”

Manglona said that the same thing goes with the power planL..”they are telling us that we have to take care of the smoke coming from the power plant.”

Since we don’t have sufficient funding, it will take years before the CNMI can comply...”we hope that they will recognize this and will give us sufficient funding to provide the essential services.”

The US representatives con­tended that they will be looking into the most innovative solution to CNMI problems...”as ex­pected, this first round is more or less a round of discussion on the CNMI’s plan.”

He said that also discussed during the meeting are CNMI’s plan regarding its taxation, where

a task-force was created to re­view the present tax system in the CNMI and make recom­mendations.

Impact fee development mea­sure was also pointed out, which is in the process of passing into law.

The measure will assess impact fee from new developments-’Ve told them that even if we have the impactfee, the CNMIis already 10 to 15years late in its development.”

Hesaid that there are already too many developments in place~”not too many developers will come at the time this legislation becomes a law.”

Finally, the representatives ten­tatively agreed to meet again in May 16 to 17 in Washington, D.C

The date and [dace was agreed upon since Manglona, before that date will also be going in Washing­ton to attent the budget hearing and to attend the tenth round of the 902 talks.
