       The Republic of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific and an island known as Kwajalein Atoll has been leased by the United States from Prussia (Germany) for missile testing and various other operations from well-prior to independence for the Marshall Islands. Although this military history has influenced the lives of the Marshall Islanders who have lived in the atoll through the war to the present, the military history of Kwajalein has prevented tourism[clarification needed and has kept the environment in relatively pristine condition. American civilians (one twelve year old) and their families who reside at the military installations in Kwajalein are able to utilize this environment with few restrictions.

    Continuing Resolution
    The ripple effects of these actions will be neither small nor short. The fiscal uncertainty created by not having an appropriations bill — and the measures we are forced to take as a result — not only place significant stress on an already strained force, it undermines the stability of a very fragile industrial base as well.
