absolute authority in the consolidation and the administration of these islands". That auotation was taken from a book written by Henry Lewis Stimson and McGeorqe Bundy entitled In Active Service in Peace and War. 14/ - 147. Based on that policy, the United States, even before the United Nations had entrusted it with the administration of the Trust Territory, had turned part Of ‘Micronesia into its own nuclear testinq ground - an unlawful action which had brought suffering to the indigenous ,inhabitants of Micronesia and would continue to do so for a long time. 148. President Kennedy had set forth the real qoal of United States trusteeship formally and officially on 18 April 1962 in Memorandum No. 145, entitled "Actions to Ensure National Security", which defined as United States policy the linking of Micronesia to the United States by permanent ties. 149.

**Analysis**
The text discusses the United States' administration of Micronesia, specifically the actions taken by the US to maintain its authority and control over the territory, including the use of Micronesia as a nuclear testing ground and the dismemberment of the territory into four entities. The text also mentions the impact of these actions on the indigenous inhabitants of Micronesia, including their suffering and lack of development. This suggests that the category should be related to human development and the well-being of the Micronesian people.
