USIS Washington File: TEXT: 10/1 ROTH TESTIMONY ON FREELY ASSOCIATED STATES
Mr. Chairman, thank you for the invitation to discuss one of the United States' most unique relationships: our relationship with the Freely Associated States (FAS). Though poorly understood and often overlooked, U.S. ties to the three FAS (the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Republic of Palau) have a long history and are an important part of our posture in the Pacific. I personally devoted many years of my life to this issue in the mid 1980s, when, as Staff Director of the House Asia and Pacific Affairs Committee, I worked to get the Compacts of Free Association legislation through Congress. This process, as you know, Mr. Chairman, was long and arduous, in part because Congress had not been adequately consulted from the outset of negotiations. I thus welcome the opportunity to open a dialogue with Committee members on the state of US-FAS relations and to consult with you regarding the upcoming renegotiation of certain provi ... [Read More]

Civil-Military Affairs and U.S. Diplomacy: The Changing Roles of the Regional Commanders-In-Chief
Question: Mr. Perry, can there be a genuine partnership between the State Department, the Defense Department when the resource is available to each under the 050 budget for the military and the 150 budget for the diplomatic efforts are so different? And when you flip such a lopsided coin, isn’t it always going to be weighted towards the military policies instead of the diplomatic ones? ... I want to sum up, then, my positions about, this new world. Preventive defense should havea very high priority. Even though it involves resources that, clearly, have to be done hand in glove between Defense and the Secretary of State, preventive defense and preventive diplomacy are just two sides of the same coin. ...
