Gerald Zackios, addressed participants and alumni of the Executive Leadership Development Program (ELDP) on February 3, 2021. It’s important for all of us to learn from difficult situations, when we’re not successful in any endeavor—such as my recent lack of success in the Forum Secretariat role. It is an important role. But I’d like to share with you that this role is not only important to me “personally, but also important to the five Micronesian countries that supported me. I firmly believe that it was Micronesia’s rightful place to take their turn to lead the Forum; we definitely have contributions to make to the organization. So in that sense I am very disappointed, but I will not let that disappointment prevent me from doing what is right for our region. So, when we discuss regionalism, we should be clear that regionalism means that all parties are represented, that all parties have contributions to make, and that all parties should be treated with respect.

    National Lieutenant Governors Association April 29, 2014 The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: The seconds-in-command (Lieutenant Governors, Senate Presidents, and Secretaries of States) of the nation’s states oppose potential cuts to the Army National Guard found in various versions of the fiscal 2015 U.S. Army budgets circulating on Capitol Hill. As a unique state-based military force, the National Guard is the only military force that is shared by the states and the federal government. It is a ready, reliable, and essential force that responds to national disasters and emergencies, and is critical to peace and security at home and abroad. As the executive branch seconds-in-command of the states, we appreciate the need to examine military structure and readiness to meet both ongoing and new threats amidst current budget considerations. However, some proposed versions of the fiscal 2015 Army National Guard budgets would cut Army National Guard forces to a pre-2001 level. A return to these levels is contrary to the interest of the states and nation and we encourage transparent discussion of active duty and National Guard force structure pre- and post-9/11. On January 30 of this year, the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force made its final report concluding that the Guard is a cost-effective and invaluable force that should be a critical component of the total force structure. This finding and the ongoing budgetary debate provides strong foundation for a similar independent review of the Army’s future force structure.
