Talk:Point Udall (Guam)

Naming of the Points
The article claims that the two Udall Points are named after the brothers Stewart and Mo Udall. However, President Clinton's statement, referenced in the article says, "the easternmost point of the United States... and the westernmost point... are both named ‘Udall Point.’ The sun will never set on the legacy of Mo Udall." This doesn't directly contradict the claim of the article but it does suggest that either President Clinton does not know that one Point is named after each brother, that he glossed over the detail or that they are both actually named after Mo. It does directly contradict the article's assertion that the westernmost point of American territory is named "Point Udall".

A solid reference for the naming of the two Points is needed: both for their actual names and after who mthey were named.

 * The link in the article from U of Arizona says that each is name for a brother --AW (talk) 02:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Broken ref link
Reference #2 (to "Thomas LOC bill") is a broken link (see http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d100:64:./temp/~bdAeON::). Can anyone find what it was supposed to point to? Gonzonoir (talk) 10:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It's H.R.2434 from the 100th Congress. The University of Arizona link is probably sufficient. --AW (talk) 21:49, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Never heard of Udall
I was station on the USS Frank Cable from 2000-2002 and it has always been referred to as Orote Point. I've never heard of Udall until this article. I'm glad that there is a reference that it is still known as Orote Point. It may be that on official correspondence or through official communications, it is referred to as Udall Point but to the lay person, military, and locals, it is known as Orote Point. 72.220.110.184 (talk) 07:33, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
