Manglona said in his letter that “daily problems” are being experienced in the Executive Branch “as a result of not having a budget enacted into law.” He said that “numerous calls and visits” from other various departments and agencies within the branch are made “requesting exceptional consideration” in getting funds which should be appropriated for them. He stressed that “something must jell very soon”...adding that increases in wages of employees “cannot be processed and are beginning to cause a degree of demor­ alization.” Manglona stressed that a lot of “vital and urgent programs programs have been brought to a screeching haulL..Public Works projects had been drastically slowed dow n.” .„'-'i- Manglona also said in his letter that any question that needs clarification can be worked out closely with the Budget Officer.

    REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT ON 902 CONSULTATIONS Special Representatives of the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands January 2017 This page intentionally left blank. About the 902 Consultations Between the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands The Covenant to Establish the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States of America (Covenant) governs relations between the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Section 902 of the Covenant provides that the Government of the United States and the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands “will designate special representatives to meet and consider in good faith such issues affecting the relationship between the Northern Mariana Islands and the United States as may be designated by either Government and to make a report and recommendations with respect thereto.” These intermittent discussions between the United States and the CNMI have become known as 902 Consultations. Beginning in October 2015, the late CNMI Governor Eloy Inos, followed by Governor Ralph Torres in January 2016, requested U.S. President Barack Obama initiate the 902 Consultations process. In May 2016, President Obama designated Esther Kia’aina, the Assistant Secretary for Insular Areas at the U.S. Department of the Interior, as the Special Representative for the United States for 902 Consultations. Governor Ralph Torres was designated the Special Representative for the CNMI. i Special Representatives and Teams of the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Special Representatives Esther P.
