Description
Summary:Johnson was an expatriate attorney for the Palau Public Land Authority, which, in theory, oversees all state land authorities. Because Johnson repeatedly refused to leave the meeting, which was about to begin, Gibbons became angry and hit Johnson with a baseball bat, fracturing one of Johnson's arms and bruising his back and other arm. [...]on Independence Day (1 Oct) 2003, he announced a people's initiative to amend the constitution via petition, one of the three avenues available. [...]Remengesau and congressional leaders worked out an important agreement allowing for the use of World Bank expertise in an independent feasibility study of oil exploration in northern Palau, as well as analysis of proposed legislation regarding such exploration. [...]the US Navy ship Safeguard sailed from Japan to Palau to show the flag, and so that its 100 crew members could enjoy five days of rest and recreation in Palau's warm weather.
