Return Kahoolawe
BY BUCK QUAYLE
U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii has introduced legislation calling for return of the island of Kahhoolawe to the State of Hawaii. The island, located about eight miles off the coast of Maui, currently is used by the Navy for bombing practice. The bill introduced by Inouye would require the Navy to turn the island over to the State by the end of this year. It also would authorize funds during 1972 to clear the island of an estimated 10,000 tons of unexploded bombs. "The people of Hawaii have been patient of the Navy's use of Kahoolawe for 31 years," Inouye said, "but that patience is wearing thin." Kahoolawe, he said, "has the dubious distinction of being one of the most bombed islands in the Pacific."
