I am hopeful that our island report will be cor.pl a ted in the 
near future, and published by the Smithsonian Institution. I 
'rf.ll see to it that Xerox copies of the final draft reports 
are forwarded to your office, so that you can have them for your 
files immediately instead of having to wait for them 'bo appear 
in published form. 
Hopefully, 1 will have an opportunity to return to Honolulu some 
time during the next few months. I would enjoy the opportunity, of 
another good visit with you.
