We have not given up the possibility that\nMossedog might be induced to put forward a satiafactory lump-\naum settlement offer. There hay even be variations of this\n1den. An exarplo might be found arong practices of the US\nDovornment during the two vorld wars. The United States in\nobtaining private property for Covernment uso set what it\nbelieved to be a fair value on the property takon. The\nownor vas notified of this amount and informed that he could\ncollect the full amount in full settlement of his claim at\nhis option. If tho owner did not agree that the amount\nspecified by the US Dovernment vas a fair value, he could\nchallenge that evaluation and carry his case through legal\nproceadings. In auch a case, the US Dovernmont notified\nthe previous ounor that be could collect at will 3/4 of the\ntotal amount, leaving the remainder to be settled at the\nfinal determination of the property value. At any time the\nowner could exercise the option of claiming the remainder of\nthe amount originally apecified by the US Dovornment or con-\ntinue to debate the matter through negotiation or logal\nproceedings.\nThe feeling that some move on the part or the West is\nnocessary in the Izunian situation is growing steadily within\nall interested departments within our Dovernment.
