February 26, 2008, WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne met with the President of the Republic of Palau Tommy Remengesau on Feb. 25, 2008 to discuss a number of topics, including the possibility of creating a National Heritage Area on the Palau island of Peleliu to commemorate that important World War II battle, and the upcoming Review of the Compact of Free Association.
Secretary Kempthorne thanked President Remengesau for Palau’s continued support for the War on Terror and Palauan citizens who continue to join the U.S. military. President Remengesau stressed the importance of security and stability in Palau and the importance of the relationship between Palau and the United States.
Secretary Kempthorne, who visited Palau last June and toured the U.S.-built Babeldaob Road, congratulated Remengesau on being honored and recognized last October as one of Time Magazine’s Heroes of the Environment. Remengesau is in Washington, D.C., to participate in the 10th Annual Coral Reef Task Force meeting.
