Naming of the Points[edit]

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.

Clinton's reference was not made in ignorance. Orote Point was renaimed Udall Point by proclomation of the Governor of Guam in 1987. The Peninsula still retains the name Orote peninsula. It is a subtle but real disctintion. 75.121.85.153 (talk) 11:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
