Abstract: Beginning in 1951, the Headquarters for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) regularly published a magazine that detailed its work in the region. From 1951 through the first issue of 1956, the magazine was known as the Micronesian Monthly; from the second issue of 1956 through the end of the run in 1980, it was known as the Micronesian Reporter. From 1951 through December 1967, publication cycles varied: For the most part, the magazine was produced monthly, though certain issues cover two or more months. Starting in 1968, the magazine was formally shifted to a quarterly publication cycle, which continued through the first quarter of 1980, when publication ceased.

The Second Quarter 1968 issue of the Micronesian Reporter emphasized Micronesia’s continuing participation in international forums, with coverage of the thirty-second session of the United Nations Trusteeship Council in New York. High Commissioner M. W. Goding appeared as Special Representative of the Administering Authority, supported by Ambassador Dwight Dickinson. Micronesian representation included Bailey Olter of Pohnpei, who served as Micronesian Advisor, along with Petrus Mailo of Moen (now Weno), Chuuk District, Raymond Setik of the Mortlock Islands, and Juan B. Blanco of Saipan, who joined as U.S. Leader Grantees.

Articles include the text of Bailey Olter’s statement to the Trusteeship Council, where he reiterated Micronesians’ cautious approach to self-government, stressing long-range planning and stability before political change. Profiles highlight Petrus Mailo’s decades of service in Chuuk, from Moen Village Council to the Congress of Micronesia, and Raymond Setik’s advancement from Lukunor to Assistant District Administrator. Leo Falcam of Pohnpei is noted again for his Parvin Fellowship at Princeton University. District reports describe the completion of the Yap radio station, expansion of the cattle industry on Tinian, Saipan hotel development plans, and the awarding of more than 200 scholarships, including specialized medical and technical training.

The issue also features cultural and agricultural pieces, including an illustrated article on Nan Madol in Pohnpei, exploring its stone ruins and historical significance, and a study of breadfruit cultivation and its role in Micronesian diets. Key political leaders mentioned include Amata Kabua (Marshall Islands), Tosiwo Nakayama (Chuuk), and Lazarus Salii (Palau), alongside Andon Amaraich (Chuuk) and Bethwel Henry (Pohnpei). Cooperative organizations and fisheries expansion, especially Van Camp’s tuna operations in Palau, are highlighted as engines of economic growth.
