Abstract: “Letter to the Honorable Andon Amaraich: Status Negotiations” is a correspondence addressed to Andon Amaraich, focusing on the status negotiations related to Micronesia. The letter discusses a delayed response to a previous letter due to waiting for a reply from the State Department concerning questions raised in a meeting with Secretary Vance on January 17. The assurances provided in this response are described as clear expressions of the new administration’s position. Moreover, the letter addresses concerns regarding electronic surveillance and covert activities, clarifying that such activities were not conducted during the tenure of the letter’s author . The letter expresses regret over the distrust caused by past allegations (implicitly, of spying or eavesdropping) and emphasizes moving forward with assurance and goodwill. The intent is to pursue negotiations constructively, fostering basic goodwill and friendship.
