<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;In the Hawaii Statehood Act of March 18, 1959, the Congress specifically <br/>
&gt;excluded Palmyra from the new state<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>What was the reason for separating Palmyra from Hawaii at the time of <br/>
statehood? Furthermore, assuming that the whole of Hawaii was previously an <br/>
incorporated organised territory of the US, presumably Palmyra must have <br/>
become &#39;disorganised&#39; at some point?<br/>
