Still no information on multiple ancient burials at Camp Blaz

Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz, when contacted last month for a report on the issue, stated: Given the ongoing nature of work, we defer to the (State Historic Preservation Office) to deem it appropriate to publicly release preliminary information.
The Vigilance Committee and Sen. Telena Nelson s office sent records requests to the preservation office last month after the Pacific Daily News reported there are more ancient burials at the new Marine Corps base under construction in Dededo. Nelson chairs the Guam Legislature s committee overseeing preservation.
The office rejected both requests, citing the National Historic Preservation Act 54 U.S.C. §307103 and said the Department of Defense made the determination the information cannot be disclosed.
