[edit] Status as of July 14th
It appears that it is again for sale - [1]. At least, I see no signs that it is not for sale. That link, as well as links to several Wikipedia articles, were featured in the website memepool. --Reverend Loki 00:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Annexed by the United Kingdom?
Was Johnston Atoll ever annexed by the United Kingdom? I have read a map from 1899 that suggests that the US and UK claims were in conflict at that time, such as was the Palymara Atoll claim (where the UK annexed in 1889, but the US objected later in 1911).
[edit] No, it's not for sale.
The listing that's linked to is a stale "deep link", that remains, even though the listing was withdrawn. If you look at the overall list of properties for sale from the GSA Property Disposal folks, this is not one of them. I actually called GSA and verified this. --Risacher 17:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
