SUBJECT: FOURTH QUARTER PUBLIC DIPLOMACY PROGRAMS SHINE A SPOTLIGHT 
ON THE FIRST VISIT OF A U.S. NAVAL HOSPITAL SHIP, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, 
AND GRANT AID 
 
SUMMARY 
 
1.  Fourth quarter public diplomacy programs exemplified 
America's concerns for regional partnership, good governance, 
and assistance.  The USNS Mercy made the last stop on Pacific 
Partnership 2008 in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), 
anchoring in the lagoon of Chuuk.  This U.S. Naval hospital 
ship, based in the FSM's largest state, delivered medical 
services to some 17,000 Micronesians.  Positive print and radio 
media coverage on this and other U.S. activities in the FSM, 
along with timely Embassy media releases, increased 
significantly.  End summary. 
 
 
EMBASSY COORDINATES FIRST PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP VISIT TO MICRONESIA 
 
2.  The USNS Mercy stopped in Chuuk during the last leg of 
Pacific Partnership 2008.  A flyaway team from the ship treated 
3,567 patients in Pohnpei (over 10% of the population) and 2,288 
patients in Yap (over 20% of the population) in community based 
medical, ophthalmology and dental clinics, with pharmacological 
support. 
 
3.  The first ever visit by a U.S. military hospital ship (the 
world's largest) to the FSM's most populous state of Chuuk 
brought unprecedented direct engagement between Americans and 
Micronesians at the local level.  Medical services via mobile 
health care teams reached 10,832 patients on thirteen islands in 
Chuuk Lagoon.  Over 200 patients received eye, ear, nose, 
throat, gastrointestinal, endoscopic, urological, gynecological, 
pediatric, orthodontic, plastic or general surgery on board the 
ship. 
 
4.  Environmental health officials provided mosquito control, 
food sanitation inspection, and waste treatment plant inspection 
for Chuuk State.  Embarked medical doctors consulted on ongoing 
cases of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis at the Chuuk 
Hospital.  Veterinarians conducted roving clinics in the lagoon 
islands, performing veterinary surgery and animal de-worming. 
In less than four weeks, U.S. Navy Seabees completed extensive 
construction work at three major engineering project sites. 
They renovated the Chuuk State Hospital as well as public school 
buildings on two Chuuk Lagoon islands. 
 
5.  The historic visit of the Mercy to the FSM's largest state 
sparked unprecedented media attention.  Coverage included a 
special 'Mercy Edition' of the FSM's sole newspaper, with a 
total of 394 column inches of Mercy-related coverage in six 
issues.  FSM President Mori participated actively in three days 
of Mercy mission activities in his home state of Chuuk.  He 
personally welcomed Commodore Kearns and other Mercy dignitaries 
pier-side upon arrival at Weno Harbor.  He led local officials 
on a VIP tour of the ship and its extensive facilities.  Along 
with members of his Cabinet and FSM Congressmen, he visited 
Mercy medical sites and engineering projects on several Chuuk 
Lagoon islands.  In a final expression of heartfelt gratitude, 
the FSM Congress, Chuuk Legislature, Pohnpei Legislature, and 
Yap Legislature each passed resolutions expressing deep 
appreciation for Pacific Partnership activities with the United 
States in their islands. 
 
 
EMBASSY BRINGS ACADEMIC EXPERTISE ON RULE OF LAW 
 
6. University of California-Berkley Political Science and Law 
Associate Professor Dr. Gordon Silverstein spent a week in two 
FSM states, sharing considerable expertise on the rule of law. 
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and 
Cultural Affairs sponsored this regional trip to Micronesia and 
the Marshall Islands.  He participated actively in anniversary 
activities during the 26th FSM Law Week hosted by the national 
Supreme Court in Kosrae State.  Dr. Silverstein delivered a 
public presentation on the rule of law attended by over 150 
government staff, local business persons, NGO representatives 
and community leaders.  He also conducted an interview on the 
state radio station and discussed constitutional law issues with 
local legislators, jurists, and attorneys.  In Pohnpei State, 
Dr. Silverstein delivered another public presentation and 
participated in a panel discussion on rule of law.  He also 
conducted two radio interviews and a print interview with the 
FSM's national newspaper. 
 
OTHER EMBASSY OUTREACH EVENTS INFORM THE COMMUNITY 
 
7. Ambassador hosted the Mission's U.S. Independence Day 
celebration, attended by FSM President Emanuel Mori, other 
government officials, the diplomatic corps, media, NGOs, and 
 
KOLONIA 00000163  002 OF 004 
 
 
private citizens.  Keynote remarks toasted America's founding 
values of freedom, democracy and equality of opportunity as 
principles that are just as fundamental, useful and compelling 
today as they were 232 years ago.  The event underscored a 
renewed U.S. commitment across the board to generous and 
transparent partnership with the Federated States of Micronesia. 
 The FSM's sole newspaper carried key excerpts of the 
Ambassador's speech. 
 
8. Ambassador also orchestrated an alternative aid delivery 
mechanism that resulted in an innovative $3 million Compact 
infrastructure grant, which was apportioned equally among the 
FSM's four states.  The dedicated funding can be used only for 
local maintenance repairs related to education, health, potable 
water and public safety facilities.  A joint U.S.-FSM press 
event and media statements promoted this effort to direct aid 
flexibly and responsibly at the grass roots level.  In a rare 
public demonstration of solidarity, the FSM Department of 
Foreign Affairs toasted the media event with champagne.

9.  Newspaper articles on U.S. programs in the FSM totaled 958 
column inches in "The Kaselehlie Press," the FSM's biweekly
