Dear COlenelt DA7E:71L=y-'_"--REVIEWER:
I ha~? a rather unusual ta~or to wok of you, xhioh I hops
you x111 sot hesitate to deny it it is sot oo~avsnieat or it for
any other reason you think it best not to ooa~ply?
lle are -till tayiag with the movewat of the FHIB station
from 1Lwuai to another loaatioa in the Asst Yaoilio. In order to
eetimab toads for such w pro~sot, I need to Imow xhwt I migkt
e~cpsat it to oust to close down the station on iLwai sad transfer
it slsewhere. On Iauai, the grounds we occupy are leased trai the
Lskahw Sugar Company, which, I believe, has offices is Honolulu.
Our contract ha? a restoration clause is it? 11E~en FHIS originally
occupied this property, it was pretty syoh of w mud-hole, asd I
am sure the grounds have bees greatly iisproved since that tiers.
Ia addition, there are sow twenty odd hutsreat type buildings which
xsre plwoed on this property by the Ara~r and wh,loh were tamed ever
to w xhea thi? orsanisation was traosterred frost the Mar Depart-
atat to CIA- All in all, I aw sure that the propsrty ha? been
grswtly isproved end it is ay feeliwr~,that the Lekaha Sugar Company
xould be more than glad to accept these buildings is their preeeat
?twte rather than ask us to wve then o!! the grounds it we should
abandon this ?ite. ~+lowever, if they should insist that the site
be restored to its original ?ondition, it would involve ooasiderable
expense.
I am interacted in lmoxing informally whwt the attitude of
the Sugar Company ~+~trtt'ld be toxartii rsetoratioa, it we should leave
Ke-uai for another looation? If you could Find out for ere without
undue difficulty. I would appreciate it greatly. Ian curs that
it seems unusual that I should writs to you about this matter
rather than hays it investigated by sy own people- 1(y reason for
Qoing thi? is that I am positive that llr? Boop is dead set against
moving this Stwtion frost Swum, sad althou~ I hate to say it, I
wm tewrtul that he aiglt~t not approach the Sugwr Cempwny la such a
manner as to obtwin for w a favorable answer. Of course, I would r.ot
lil~.,twa bl-T!~ him know that I hwve asked you to loon into this far
