In that vote, the people of Vieques will be asked to choose between two\nalternatives. If they choose the first alternative, the Navy will cease all training on Vieques and\nleave the island by May 1, 2003. If they choose the other alternative, training will continue on\nVieques on terms that will be presented at least three months before the vote.\n\nI believe this is the best way to resolve the impasse over Vieques, because it gives the people\nmost affected by this decision – the people who actually live on the island – the right to\ndetermine for themselves which course of action we should take.\n\nIn the meantime, until that vote is held, we are taking several other steps to ensure that our\nservicemen and women get the training they need, while addressing Viequen concerns.\n\nFirst, during the period leading up to the vote, I am ordering that training done on Vieques will\nbe limited to non-explosive ordnance – meaning there will be no live fire. I am also directing the\nNavy and Marine Corps to cut in half the amount of time they will spend training. In 1998, our\ntroops trained for 182 days on Vieques. This year, they will be authorized for 90 days, which is\nwhat we need to meet our essential training needs.\n\nSecond, to address the problems caused by past training, we will implement measures to meet\nthe economic, health, safety, and environmental concerns of the people of Vieques. Measures\nwe will implement include, among other things, development of a new commercial ferry pier and\nterminal, an artificial reef to create new commercial fishing areas, temporary compensation for\nfishermen, expanding and improving roads, a bioluminescent bay preservation program, a job\ntraining program for young people, providing land to extend the airport runway, and a Public\nHealth Service Study.\n\nTransferring ownership of the dusted quarter\nof the island, positioning Navy ships to\nreduce noise,","text_extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:09:43.136Z","text_source":"ocr","width":2560},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KJVD4CMWXFSSF1SEJA47QHBW","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KJVCX121N35Z2THGG0CJV1RP","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KJVCZ7SDGP8J01TAWHF5RHAK","peer_label":"us navy","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"military_organization","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVCZE24Q3JPCHNEYEJJ97VX","peer_label":"non-explosive ordnance training","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"military_training_type","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVCZPW7XZW82YDKQ5WK4H2J","peer_label":"job training program for young people vieques","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"social_program","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD680P4S8MXCAVQJABFGN9","peer_label":"vieques referendum","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"political_event","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD683ADZ8NYJ85VWP914FB","peer_label":"military training on vieques","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"military_activity","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD6803FEMHYW3NZP5KCTBQ","peer_label":"vieques island","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"island","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD682QVY3D0WVJPDM4XH7M","peer_label":"us marine corps","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"military_organization","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD68FPT7T3PK7V2NGAYCG6","peer_label":"viequen concerns","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"social_issue","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD682D7EDCAK0KJ7SGEEQG","peer_label":"second referendum alternative","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"proposal","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD681VGPP4BHSE8P89CXH1","peer_label":"first referendum alternative","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"proposal","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD68QC21M92049FYV7XGTF","peer_label":"public health service study vieques","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"research_study","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD68HJTC41RBQTHSYGCRBF","peer_label":"artificial reef creation","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"environmental_project","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD68PKZ9CKH040DR7C03C3","peer_label":"commercial ferry pier and terminal development","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"infrastructure_project","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD68JJ7T99395ZG9XG1SXY","peer_label":"bioluminescent bay preservation program","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"conservation_program","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD68SG5PPQ5WKEYA14Q9M1","peer_label":"airport runway extension land provision","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"infrastructure_project","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD6933CJ2ZF6V81TW83WMP","peer_label":"noise reduction measures navy ships","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"mitigation_measure","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD694KRZNY6PQAF4HYCHCZ","peer_label":"live fire","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"entity","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}},{"peer":"01KJVD694WSXY6NGDRVE1HXVPS","peer_label":"new commercial fishing areas","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"entity","extracted_at":"2026-03-04T03:10:18.437Z"}}],"ver":4,"created_at":"2026-03-04T03:09:30.214Z","ts":"2026-03-04T03:10:19.443Z","edited_by":{"method":"system","user_id":"01KJ60XQBHJ0GBGTP9X8HXAPPM"}}
