Freestone's City Grill U.S. territory's cheap labor awakens sleepy economy and opposition By Charles J. Hanley, Associated Press correspondent SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands From tropical backwater to lush little loophole, this remote U.S. territory has made itself over in one short decade and emerged as a bit player in the global economy. But to people like Bijoy Krisno Kundu, Saipan's loophole feels more like a noose. "I am lost, completely lost," said the young man from Bangladesh, who came to this Pacific island seeking a livelihood but ended up penniless. Probably 40,000 foreigners double the number of locally born workers staff the garment factories, hotels, nightclubs and construction sites that power the economy of the new Saipan. These Chinese and Filipinos, Bangladeshis and Thais, brought in under a loose, locally run loophole in the U.S. immigration system, are low-paid and even then often shortchanged. Sometimes they are mistreated and, in some cases, like Kundu's, left without promised jobs. "And the U.S. government cannot do anything for us," lamented one of Kundu's countrymen, Hafiz Ur Rahaman.

The area includes three major archipelagoes: the Marshalls, Carolines, and Marianas. (Culturally, Micronesia includes Kiribati and Nauru, but the separate political history of these countries excludes them from the archives discussed here.) Having passed through colonial rule by the Spanish, Germans, and Japanese, the islands of Micronesia became a United States administered United Nations strategic trusteeship following World War II. This new arrangement was named the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI). Initially under Navy control, the islands were transferred to the U.S. Dept. of the Interior in 1951. Administrative headquarters, originally in Honolulu, moved to Guam, and finally to Saipan. For administrative purpose, the TTPI divided the islands of Micronesia into six districts based on earlier colonial precedent: the Marshalls, Ponape, Truk, Marianas, Yap, and Palau, with the later addition of Kosrae.

The President had a historic role with the formal establishment of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the Compact of Free Association for the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Both were previously districts of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI). On Nov. 4, 1986, Mr. Reagan signed the executive order granting all Northern Marianas residents American citizenship. For the past 17 years, the CNMI marked every 4th of November as "Citizenship Day," a local holiday.

CNMI is a Western Pacific territory administered by the United States. The Marianas were a major battleground between the United States and Japan in World War II, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima was carried out from a base in Tinian, part of the island chain. Today the Marianas serve as a base for garment manufacturing and a sex-tourism industry catering to Asian businessmen whose owners have reaped hefty profits by brutally exploiting immigrant workers. The victims, mostly from mainland China, are lured by employers with false promises of a better life. Immigrant workers on the island outnumber US citizens by about 35,000 to 27,000. Those who come to Marianas often pay thousands of dollars to middlemen, who tell them they will arrange good-paying jobs in America. Some 20,000 of these immigrants are crowded into barracks that resemble forced labor camps. Many lack running water, adequate toilets or proper ventilation.

The UN officially dissolved the Trust Territory in 1990. Palau, the last of the Trust Territory districts, voted to end its trustee status in 1994.

Technical, programmatic and enforcement activities are implemented for the ASEQC by the American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA). ASEPA maintains programs in water quality, drinking water, air quality, pesticides, solid waste, hazardous materials and waste, and public education. The agency and commission are under the Office of the Governor. For the past two years, ASEPA has also been the recipient of an Americorps grant and oversees the training and placement of 20 participants. The ASEPA is directed by Togipa (Tony) Tausaga, who oversees an ASEPA staff of about 20, including a former EPA Region 9 staff (Sheila Wiegman), who is presently on detail to ASEPA from the U.S. Geological Survey. ASEPA is the recipient of an annual EPA Consolidated Environmental Program grant (FY 98 budget is $1.6 million). A local budget of $85,000 is provided to support clean-up activities of Pago Pago Harbor. A continuing problem at ASEPA is the hiring and retainment of qualified staff. ASEPA, with the assistance of PIO, is in the processing of placing two IPA's with ASEPA this summer, to assist them with their water quality and underground storage tanks program.
