Kahoolawe cleanup may never be finished

The issue: The Navy says it may not meet its goals in the
removal of ordnance from Kahoolawe.

Our view: Use of the island as a Hawaiian preserve may
still be possible if reasonable precautions are observed.

AFTER years of protests and unauthorized landings on the
island, Congress in 1993 approved the return of Kahoolawe to the
state and authorized $400 million to clean up the ordnance dropped
during decades of practice bombing. The cleanup is supposed to be completed
by 2003.
