convening on October 13, 1997, at its Chamber in Palikir, Pohnpei.

“[…] we will be deliberating on very important and urgent matters
requiring Congress’ actions,” the letter stated without specifying

September 30 letter saying, “Likewise, I am looking forward to
working very closely with you and your colleagues on all the
important and urgent matters that you will be deliberating during the
