SUBJECT: FSM COMPACT IMPLEMENTATION - NEXT STEPS 
 
REF: STATE 048532 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary.  Pursuant to reftel, Ambassador discussed 
follow-up actions to implement elements of the Compact of Free 
Association with FSM President Emanuel Mori and separately, with 
the Director of the Office of Statistics, Budget, Overseas 
Development and Compact Management (SBOC) Fabian Nimea. 
Director Nimea reviewed a list of actions that the Federated 
States of Micronesia (FSM) aims to accomplish in a timely 
manner, although not necessarily in time to meet all deadlines. 
President Mori focused mostly on the financial crisis in Chuuk 
and the erratic course of fiscal reform in that state.  Both the 
President and the SBOC Director observed that the FSM lacks the 
internal capacity to fully and efficiently implement Compact 
requirements, although they are clearly taking the challenge 
seriously.  End Summary. 
 
CHUUK'S UNSTEADY COURSE 
 
2.  (SBU) At lunch on May 8, FSM President Mori shared with 
Ambassador Hughes his deep concern about the recent resignation 
of Chuuk's Director of Administrative Services Gillian Doone, 
who has been the linchpin of fiscal reform in the FSM's largest, 
debt plagued state.  "Without Gillian, the reform of Chuuk is 
doomed," Mori said.  He lamented that the FSM simply had no one 
else capable of maintaining strict financial discipline in 
Chuuk.  Under prodding from the FSM's Secretary of Finance, 
Doone had subsequently agreed to remain on the job - for the 
time being, Mori confirmed.  However, Doone's position remained 
precarious. 
 
3.  (SBU) Ambassador urged Mori and the FSM National Government 
(GFSM) to provide more concerted, ongoing support to Doone, who 
is isolated and buffeted by intense pressures that verge on 
harassment, especially as public services continued to 
deteriorate.  Mori said he planned to meet shortly with Doone in 
Pohnpei and additionally to travel to Chuuk on May 13.  Mori 
will urge Doone to return quietly to his administrative duties 
and to drop his self-publicized intention to file a lawsuit 
against Chuuk's Governor Simina.  At the same time, Ambassador 
asserted, the Governor needed to rescind his order to Doone to 
disburse USD 450,000 for special allowances to Chuuk 
legislators, which would break the state budget that Doone had 
balanced meticulously and single-handedly.  Mori affirmed he 
would press the Governor.  However, he also hinted that Doone 
might leave in any event to run for public office, either for an 
FSM Congressional seat or as Lieutenant Governor of Chuuk, 
sharing a possible gubernatorial ticket with former FSM Vice 
President Redley Killion.  (Note:  Such a powerful challenge to 
incumbent Governor Simina would build steam for an exciting 
electoral contest in Chuuk in April 2009 and serve as a 
bellwether of significant reform.) 
 
4.  (U) In the meantime and irrespective of who runs Chuuk, 
Ambassador reminded President Mori of the commitment of the GFSM 
to a Joint Economic Management Committee (JEMCO) resolution of 
August 2007 to provide "close and constant oversight" of that 
state's financial management.  The GFSM needed to pay closer 
attention.  Without the leadership of Doone or another manager 
of similar caliber, Ambassador said the Department of the 
Interior (DOI) might need to require that the FSM bring in an 
independent accounting firm to handle Compact and other U.S. 
federal program funds.  In the absence of responsible 
management, DOI would also consider a cutoff of funds in Compact 
sectors for capacity building, the environment, and private 
sector development.  President Mori stressed he would deliver an 
unequivocal message to the Governor, including on delays in 
implementing an agreement to cut some 400 state positions. 
Ambassador reminded that Chuuk's Reduction in Force (RIF), which 
should have occurred last October, appeared to be a paper 
exercise that still required verification before DOI could 
release lump sum severance payments.  Mori agreed to focus 
attention in Chuuk on RIF personnel actions and issuance of 
final salary checks. 
 
5.  (U) SBOC Director Nimea, who met with Ambassador on May 6, 
shared letters he had sent to Doone and Chuuk's Attorney General 
Joses Gallen, who heads the Chuuk Reform Task Force.  The 
letters note discrepancies in separate RIF lists that Gallen 
sent to Governor Simina and to President Mori.  Nimea has 
requested clarification of the discrepancies, as well as 
confirmation that Chuuk's 2009 budget excludes all the 
supposedly terminated positions.  He agreed to accelerate 
attention in Chuuk to reconciling termination notices and 
personnel action data with those employees who are enumerated on 
the list(s).  Ambassador noted that DOI is prepared to release 
severance payments even on a partial basis to state employees 
whose separation can be confirmed.  Nimea stressed his 
commitment to professional integrity, remarking that SBOC has a 
serious responsibility to ensure there will be no misuse of 
 
KOLONIA 00000069  002 OF 002 
 
 
Compact money, particularly in connection with the RIF.  To 
assist the verification process, Nimea said he might send one of 
his own employees to Chuuk. 
 
PROGRESS ON OTHER COMPACT ACTION ITEMS 
 
6.  (U) Regarding other areas of Compact implementation 
(reftel), Nimea asserted that the working level meeting in San 
Francisco of April 15-16 had clarified expectations and 
established useful collaboration.  He provided action updates as 
follows: 
 
--Fiscal Year 2009 Sector Proposals:  SBOC will forward state 
Compact sector proposals to DOI on a rolling basis, as soon as 
they receive each submission.  Ambassador urged Nimea to try to 
arrange his travel schedule so that he could accompany DOI grant 
officers on their May-June budget consultations throughout the 
FSM states. 
 
--USD 3 Million Maintenance Grant:  Nimea expressed appreciation 
for the initiative launched in San Francisco to provide each of 
the four FSM states USD 750,000 for repair and maintenance of 
infrastructure projects.  Once the DOI grant is signed, 
President Mori and Ambassador Hughes will try to schedule a 
joint media event, encouraging the state governments to follow 
up with prompt submission of their proposals to repair projects 
related to the infrastructure of health, education, potable 
water and public safety. 
 
--Capital Infrastructure:  President Mori and Director Nimea 
provided assurances that the new Program Management Unit (PMU) 
attached to the President's office would identify and 
reprioritize at least ten infrastructure projects by June 1. 
While task orders were unlikely to be completed by that time, 
they were optimistic that ten projects would be placed in the 
pipeline for issuance of future task orders.  In the long term, 
Nimea advocated for weather-resistant, prefabricated 
construction units for projects on FSM outer islands.  Such 
projects would cut costs and the time required for design 
processes, he said.  Regarding a notion to engage the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers in infrastructure design and construction, 
Mori and Nimea were both aware of the high cost that such an 
option entailed.  They preferred to hold this proposal in 
abeyance as a last resort, in the event that the new PMU failed 
to propel projects forward.  Nimea remarked on the importance of 
encouraging "FSM ownership" of projects, although he did not 
suggest the means by which to do so. 
 
--Economic Report:  The Compact-mandated Section 214 report for 
2007 will not be ready by June 1.  However, the FSM recently 
hired an economist from the USDA Graduate School (on a USD 
50,000 contract) to prepare this report.  He is now in Pohnpei 
and has begun to work. 
 
--Next JEMCO Meeting:  While the Micronesians would prefer the 
next meeting to take place in the FSM, Nimea said he understood 
the demands on DOI this summer, and he was prepared to travel to 
Washington.  He hoped to restrict the size of the FSM delegation 
in the interest of economizing and achieving results.  The FSM 
may seek to introduce more of its own JEMCO resolutions at this 
session. 
 
COMMENT 
 
7.  (SBU) Although the Mori Administration is deeply engaged in 
discussions on Compact implementation, the President and his 
officials tend to lack a sense of time urgency, focus and 
deliberate strategies to obtain results.  Their leverage over 
the FSM states depends upon the bestowal of benefits as well as 
informal political persuasion.  Few engineers and accountants 
exist in the FSM, which remains at a fragile stage of 
development.  Technical capability across the board is limited. 
While the Micronesians continue to struggle with Compact 
compliance, other nations are already actively implementing 
projects for them.  In general, the FSM would welcome 
streamlining of Compact directives and closer partnership with 
Americans and engineering consulting firms on the ground.  As 
fuel prices continue to rise and climate change and access to 
food loom as more urgent issues, we will need to demonstrate 
more prominently how the Compact can help meet the most pressing 
needs of the people.
