He welcomed the idea of coming up with inputs on how such cooperation can reduce the less desirable impacts of tourism, considered as the top industry of the region.

“We must maximize those that are beneficial to our nations,” Guereno added

In an apparent effort to stress the need for a concerted effort to attain economic development, he emphasized education as one of the most essential aspects of planning.

“We must put emphasis on all of the skills necessary to participate in progress, such as business management and industrial trade, and1 of course, our cultural heritage and the importance of preserving our traditions,” he exhorted.

Tinian as a gaming destination are being pursued due to an alleged heightened level of interest in gaming-related ventures.

This was the gist of the statement issued by Tinian Gaming Commission Chairman John U. Hofschneider before members of the Saipan Chamber of Commerce.

SpeakingduringtheChamber’s monthly general membership meeting, Hofschneider predicted that gaming will be one of the

major growth industries on the 1990’s.

The Commission Chairman noted that as of late, there is an expanding of gaming in theUnited States and in the world.

He mentioned that in Atlantic City and Nevada, gaming win accounts for over $7.5 billion annually.

“A heightened level of interest in gaming-related venture has been apparent throughout South America and the Caribbean Islands," claims Hofschneider.

Justice WHapntz représente GNMI Library meet in WasMngienJustice Ramon G. Villagomez

will be representing the CNMI during the White House Conference on Library and Information Services slated for July 9 to 13.

The-conference will bring in delegates and alternates from all 50 states in America, the District of Columbia, the six U.S. Territories, American Indian tribes, and the Federal Library Community to develop public policy proposals for improving the nation’s library and information resources.

Villagomez is a Government Official Alternate, who is con

currently a Justice for the Supreme Court

“Theinputof the delegates from across the United States is what the White House Conference is all about,” states Conference Executive Director Jean M. Curtis.

“With this unique opportunity to play a hands-on role in the policy making process, our delegates will help chart the course for our nation’s information resources as we approach the 2 1 st ceptury.

Public Law 100-382 created theconferencetoprovideaforum

for developing public policy recommendations to the nation and their use by the public.

The conference will make recommendations to improve library and information services to enhance literacy, increase productivity and strengthen democracy.

This three theme umbrella places the conference at the cutting edge of some of the most critical issues facing the nation - a literate workforce, the productivity to compete in the international marketplace of the 2 1 st century, and a populace equipped to fully participate in the democratic

system.The conference process began

at the state level, where 2,500 recommendations were developed.

In April 1991 topic committees were formed and were met to condense and combine similar issues.

The result was the platform of recommendations for the conference delegates to consider, amend, and finally adopt

All recommendations passed by the conference will be presented to the President in November and then to members of

Congress.The 1991 White House Con

ference on Library and Information Services is die second of its kind.

The first, which was held in 1979, resulted in 64 resolutions presented to the President, Congress, and other ^government agencies.

To date, action had been taken on 55 of the resolution areas, including increased use of satellite communications, video techniques and cable TV in the expansion of library and information services.

13 pass em ergency m edic courseby Rafael H. Arroyo

Some thirteen law enforcers and firefighters were recently graduated by the Departmenfof Public Safety andtheNorthem Marianas College in fitting ceremonies held at the NMC Lounge Friday.

The graduates were recipients of completion certificates after finishing the Emergency Medical Technician Program.

It took 17 weeks, with 12 hours at the Commonwealth Health Center (CHQ, and three days of extrication and ambulance operation.

The EMT is a comprehensive curriculum being administered by the IMPS and the NMC for a select group of individuals in order to acquaint them with the proper know-how in handling emergency cases and other crisis-related situations such as fires, civil unrest, cave-ins, and other disasters.

Commencement ceremonies for the new graduates was attended by several guests including some visitors who flew in from Guam to grace the occasion:

On hand to deliver the graduation address was Acting Governor Benjamin T. Manglona who exhorted the graduates to heed the call of duty as public servants.

“Our duty as public servants is to be helpfiil to the public, not according to our own wishes but according to our capabilities,” said Manglona before the graduates.

“Many of you will be first on the scene at an accident or other life threatening situation which needs prompt action,” the Acting governor stressed.

In his speech, Manglona acknowledged the fact that the trainees had a wide mix of experience, and that in the process they also learned a lot from each other.

With most participant coming into the course with a different background and knowledge level, one or two had military medic training: most had academy training in “First Responder” including CPR.

Several others had no formal first aid or CPR training at all upon entry into the course.

“It will be your quick action and training that can mean the difference between life or death. You have increased your skills in patient assessment, rapid intervention in life-threatening circumstances, and stabilization and transportation of patients,” Manglona pointed out.

Other dignitaries presentduring the ceremonies were NMC President Agnes McPhetres, House Speaker Pete DL. Guerrero, Director of Public Safety Gregorio Camacho, Saipan Fire Chief Jesus Castro, CFR Fire Chief Jose R. Sablan, and CJ Consultant Peggy Cleveland.

Flying in from Guam for the affair were Guam Fire Chief FranciscoLizama,andEMS Chief Johnny Reyes.

The graduating class was composed of Joseph M. Boija, Juan R. Camacho, Ernie T. Dela Cruz,Thomas S. Indalacio, Alvin L. Pua .Patrick T. Semens, Julian O. Tagabuel, and Joaquin F. Tudela, all Firefighters

Suspected Embezzler posts bail, pleads not guiltyby Rafael H. ArroyoThe suspect in a $20,000 em

bezzlement case was ordered released after his counsel arranged for an appearance bond in the amount of $1 0 0 ,0 0 0 in property.

Suspect James Dela Rosa was given temporary liberty after counsel Anthony Long assured the Superior Court that his client will appearforjury trial on August 5,1991.

Dela Rosa during his arraignment last June 27 waived advice of his constitutional and personal rights by entering a plea of not guilty to thechargesbeingbrought up against his employer, Rowlin Brownings.

In the preliminary hearing held June 28, the Courtfound probable cause to believe that the crime of theft has been committed by Dela Rosa.

Police reports show that Dela Rosa as manager of "Dial-Rent- To-Own, has been in charge of making daily business bank deposits from the store to the Bank of Guam for the last several months.

The firm, where he has been employed for over a year, filed on May 21,1991 a theft/embezzlement charge against Dela Rosa

after its owner, Brownings sensed that large amounts have been missing in the company’s bank accounts.

An investigation supported the finding thatmore than$70,000has not been deposited totheBankOf Guam for the months of April- Mayas required by store policy.

Bank statements revealed that no store deposits, whatsoever, were made during the said two months and thatthedefendanttook over the responsibility of making daily store deposits during those two months.

This duty was taken over from employee Jess Santos.

Brownings, also located several handwritten rental receipts that were never logged into the company computer as required.

The defendant has not been questioned by police since he cannot be located on Saipan. International monitoringhasnotrevealed his name on any flight manifest.

It was also learned that the defendant allegedly called Browning to drop the criminal charges, and that he would pay the money back

Last J une20,1991, bail for Dela Rosa was set at either $50,000 cash or $1 0 0 ,0 0 0 in property.

A power breakdown in Rota’s power plant took place Thursday causing an islandwidc outage.

This was stated in a report to the Chairman of the Board of the utiliticscorporation JoseTaitano from one of CUC’s crew from Rota.

CUC Rola-rcpresentative V icen tc Babauta made the report to also correct Sen. Paul Manglona’s notion that it was CUC’s Executive Director who caused the problem.

Rota Senator Manglona earlier has written CUC’s Tataino urging him to shed light on why is it that Rota has no power the whole day Thursday.

Manglona reasoned out that Guerrero has been making threats to cut off power to push for the passage of the Supplement budget containing money for the salary Act.

Manglona’s letter stressed that the outage is without announcement and without any apparent reason.

The Senator described the act as some kind of “unlawful miscredit act of retribution.Jf, so, such a disruptive act is a crime against the people of the Commonwealth.”

Babauta, in the report, specified that the “unexpected” power breakdown occuredat6 a.m. last

Thursday.When power restoration can

not be made immediately, an announcement was made at 7:35 a.m., said the report.

CUC crew at 9 a.m. then found out that Feeder 3 sub-station’s lab insulator was burned.

According to his report, they then prepared a modified insulator “which is not easy.”

Due to transportation problems to Rota, CUC Director Ray Guerrero “at his own expense,” chartered a helicopter to bring needed lab insulators.

Power then was back to normal at 2 p.m. the same day.

Babauta said that they are currently conducting a preventive maintenance on Feeder 3 to prevent any poweroutageagain.

The report also said that Sen. M anglona’s concern is “unfounded..totally he is misinformed of the cirscumstances...”

CUC’s Chairman Joe Taitano stressed that their director “has nothing to do with i L ”

“It is just a coincidence lhai two events seem to jive...”

While CUC’s Guerrero mentioned that he earlier informed the’Lt. Governor arid the Mayor of Rota about i L

He added that CUC will soon replace the breaker system to finally fix the feeder 3 system.

Congress approves airport tower fundingThe US House of Represen-

tatives approved fiscal year 1992 appropriations for the Department of Interior recently, which includes a special grant of $2.5 million for the construction of an air traffic control tower at the Saipan International Airport.

The $2.5 million appropriation, together with a similar amount appropriated last year would give the Commonwealth about $5million to use for the construction of the tower, according to a release from Washington Rep. JuanBabauta.

The $5 million is still short of about $900,000 of the total amount that would cost the construction of the tower.

The release said that the bill calling for that funding now moves to the Senate for consid

eration by the Appropriations committee this coming middle of July.

It also reported that the House Appropriations committee in its report on the bill said that it expects the balance of funds to come from theCommonwealth’s local revenues.

During its deliberations, the Committee looked at landing fees charged at Saipan as a possible source for theadditional funding, the release said.

Also included in the ’92 appropriations is the final grant under the current multi-year financial assistance between the Commonwealth and the United States which amounts to $27.7 million.

Currently, delegates from the

CNMI and the federal government are conducting sessions to come up with a new multi-year agreement which should begin in fiscal year 1993.

Babauta’s release pointed out that other monies in that appropriations bill may also be available to the CNMI.

It said that the House approved a $6.7 million technical assistance grant fund, $5 million for maintenance assistance grants, and $750,000 for drug interdiction and abuse prevention in the insular areas.

The House also approved $2 million for“initial funds” to help Guam and the CNMI deal with the impact of immigration from the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

It said that Congress committed itself to assist with the economic impactof this immigration at the time of approval of Free Assocation between the US and the Marshalls and the FSM.

ItmentionedthattheCompacts provide for unrestricted immigration from freely associated states to any part of the US, including the Northern Marianas.

Since the Compacts came into effect, the CNMI have experienced lasrgescaleofimmigration as people from the less developer areas of Micronesia come seeking for employment and a higher standard of living in the booming Marianas economy.

It added that the immigrants strain police and public health services and increased eroding in schools.

The committee report also sets aside a minimum of $1.5 million of the compact impact funding for Guam. The balance would be available to the CNMI upon submittal of a plan for expenditure matched to specific impacts from immigration from theFS A.

According to the release the House bill will now be transmitted to the Senate where it will be referred to the Appropriations committee. That committee is expected to take up the bill when the Senate reconvenes after its Independence Day recess.

Last year, the Senate initiated the recommendation for the control tower funding. The release provided that the Senate then ¿ so approved money for thedevelopmentof the American Memorial Park.

The Commonwealth has persistently requested an appropriation for the park, since Congress authorized a $3 million appropriations since 1978, the release mentioned.

No foreign guests on Pearl Harbor anniversary

Washington-(AP)The State Department says the US is not inviting any foreign governments to ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The decision — reached after months of deliberations— meant in part to defuse anger from veterans’ and survivors’ groups opposed to official Japanese participation in the events.

The Diecember seventh anniversary is a delicate issue for the Bush Administration.

It’s worried about stirring bitter memories and refueling the type of Japan-bashing sentiment generally directed at Japan for allegedly unfair trade practices.

Japan, after all, is heavily invested in Hawaii and all over the Mainland. It is a major American Trading partner and holds a sig- nificantamountofUS government debts.

The State Department’s solution to the delicate dilemma: noforeign dignitaries will be invited to the. three-day commemoration, so the Bush Administration won’t have to wofry about not inviting Japan.

Anti-Japansentimentup ?

Some 23-hundred American servicemen and civilians were lulled when Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor naval base and other targets in Hawaii, drawing the United States into World War U.

Japanese newspapers have speculated recently that the anniversary may prompt a wave of anti-Japan sentiment in the US.

Officials say the State Department has been examining not only the Pearl Harbor anniversary but a host of other World War II commemorations inching up on the calendar. Forexample, the administration has decided foreign government will be invited to attend the 50th anniversary of the battle of Guadalcanal next year...The Pacific islands was thesite

of a Marine landing on August 7, 1942 that began six months of bitter fighting to expel Japanese troops.

Two dozen U.S. Bases plans to close

Plans to close or scale back more than two dozen military bases across the country are ex

pected toreceivePresidentBush’s seal of approval, according to an administration official·

An independent commission charged with making the cuts spent yesterday authorizing the closure of a number of facilities, including the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.

President Bush has until July 15th to accept or reject the commission’s list, or ask for further revisions.

But the official predicts Bush will go along with the commission’s final draft, which then goes to Congress.

One commissioner says the closures are “for the good of the country to save money .’’Butmorc

than 80,000 military and 37,000 civilian workers will be affected if the list is approved as is.

Representative Tom Fbglietta of Pennsylvania, whose district includes the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard andanavalstationslated for shutdown, angrily said the Bush administration has told the city and the state to “drop dead.”

There are expressions of relief and disappointmentover the base- closing decisions in the stàtes and communities directly affected.

Anniston, Alabama, rejoiced whenFortMacClellan was spared

In South Carolina, Governor Carroll Campbell said it was a “good news, bad news day” after the commission voted to close

Myrtle Beach AirForce Base, but spare a Charleston Navy facility.

Indianapolis Mayes' William Hudnut says thousands of fami-

Tîés will feel “abandoned” by the closing of Fort Benjamin Harrison.

Snos disagree with gov’t employees actsSenate President Joseph Inos .

has recently sent out letters a d - . dressed to “ fellow citizens" expressing his disappointment over the “massive get together” held recently in pushing for the Salary Act and Supplemental Budget.

Inos’ letter likewise promised that the proposed supplemental budget w ill soon be passed in the nearest time possible.

“I am deeply disturbed over the events the past weeks...”• He said that government employees should, know and understand by now how the governmental system works...’’after some 12 years o f self-government and citizen participation in the democratic rule o f our soci-

ety.”Ipos' letter stressed that he is

very much for the passage o f the , supplemental budget so that every employee can begin to Collect their increases. ·

He stressed that it is “utterly foolish” to believe in the hearsay that the Senate keeps on holding to the budget, without doing anything for its passage.

According to Inos", the Senate, House and the Administration is “ working very, hard to make a fair distribution o f the supplemental monies available to activities which are in desperate need of funds.”

He added that the legislature and the executive branch would be “totally remiss” in their du

ties to the people o f the Commonwealth if they would allow themselves to be "“stampeded” into passing the budget.

The budget proposal has been examined and considered thoroughly to assure that all of the CNMI’s vital needs are being met:.’’not just only one, the pay for the civil service personnel,” Inos reiterated.

The letter then pointed out that the supplemental budget is “nearing completion” and will be passed soon. ·

Government employees do have the right to organize such Public Servants Compensation Rights Committee, Inos said. But he is against their, means of asking for something.

“I must deplore and strongly reject the methods employed by that group...” a ' .

. ' “To threaten to destabilize.the government in order to forte the passageofabill is irresponsible,” he said.

Inos pointed that, in the first place, under the Salary Act, every individual is assured of a pay increase which would be retroactive beginning back in May 19.

“You are not losing a thing...then what is all this noise, and ugly and rebellious confrontation all about,” Inos asked inhis letter.

The letter then reminded the people of the CNMI that, the legislature is o f the people and

Tinian Gaming...Continued from page 1ther development.

In a paper he prepared, Hofschneider foresees Tinian as a first class gaming jurisdiction in which casino developers will be secure in investing their money.. According to the paper, die

mission of the Commission is to protect the public interest by maintaining a viable industry assuring the honesty, good character, and integrity of each licensee that participates therein.

A casino license is given to an applicant who will be made to convince the commission that it meets all of the standards for licensure.

The Gaming Act recognizes three fundamental principles with respecttolicensingmatters which

represent the cots values of casino regulation, which Hofschneider reiterated

The Commission, he said will be keeping out organized crime and undesirables out of the casino managementorownership.outof the employment work force, and out of the industries that will service the casino hotels.

It will assure that the money used to finance any casino project is legitimate.

Also, the Commission will assure that any company privileged to secure a casino license can actually build and operate a casino hotel, with all the limits and requirements.

“Wedon’twanttoissue licenses and then find out that we have bankrupt companies or unfinished

projects,” he said, “that would defeat the purpose of casino gaming in Tinian.”

Tinian is seeking to become both a first class gaming jurisdiction in which casino developers will be secure in investing their money and also a model for emerging gaming jurisdictions around the world

Hofschneider adds. “The reality is that major casino companies in the world are interested in Tinian but that these first class companies will not come here unless the regulatory process, especially in the area of licensing, is strict”

Asked, however, about a suit filed by the Attorney General against the Gaming Commission, Hofschneider refused comment

On the other hand, a presenta- -tion which also underscored the need for planning in pursuit of economicdevelopmentwasmade by guest Rex I. Palacios, a certified public accountant and a leading authority in strategic planning.

He termed planning for economic growth as a predestined and an absolute requisite to regional economic survival.

“Because most of the factors of growth, or even more importantly, of the survival of our regional economy, rest beyond our reach, the need to develop economic plans harnessing those factors which are precariously within our reach. This is a predestined and anabsoluteprerequisite,"Palacios stressed.

“This is so much more so than in the case of industrialized nations,” Palacios said in his presentation.

“Without astute economic planningandimplementadon, the inconsequential size and limited resources of each APIL entity relative only to the industrialized nations of the Pacific region predisposes the APIL entities to potential economic malady,"he said.

The former CDA Executive Director cited how adverse the impact of the recent Gulf war on the tourist industry on Guam and Saipan and that, he claims, is because of the fact that we have little control over our economy.

One observation that was raised during the presentation was that the Northern Marianas economy has come a long way from what Palacios termed as “comed-beef and spam” economy of the Trust Territory days when foreign investments were practically prohibited.

The Northern Marianas’ economy was being described as much healthier now than during those times.

Foreign-investment-inducing laws such as the Revenue and Taxation Act of 1982 and the

Northern Marianas Income Tax Act of 1984, as well as laws relative to foreign labor and others, were perceived to have paved the way far economic growth.

Also, the emergence of Japan as a world economic power, and its propensity toward a consumer economy has been seen as a key factor in the current state of the economy.

In spiteofitseconomic growth, economic development planning in the islands is pretty non-existent, according to Palacios.

“The growth of the economy of \hé CNMI is for the most part an unplanned, private sector driven phenomenon, and that economic developmentplanningonthepart of the government is a little more than lip service,” he added.

In emphasizing the importance of planning, Palacios urged all APEL entity to institutionalize a central economic andbusiness information system; to formulate or reevaluate foreign investment policies; and evaluate local banking laws to prevent the expatriation of deposits.

“Business managers, planners, consultants, and other professionals who need economic or business information must be given the advantage of an efficient information system to aid them in decision-making.”

On the foreign policy suggestion* iPaïacios said that the need for foreign capital for small to medium-sized business ventures may have passed due to sufficient local capital.

“The time has come for the Northern Marianas to eliminate and prevent local investment disincentives, so that local businessmen may be granted all the incentives they need to succeed and prevail,” he added.

He also lamented the apparently inordinate amount of local bank deposits being invested outside of the Northern Marianas, robbing it of potential local investment opportunities.

“This phenomenon works against local investments and economic development as potential investment capital for economic development of the Northern Marianas is instead being funnelled somewhere else,” he maintained.

“Banking laws must therefore be reevaluated.”

Meanwhile, APIL President

and CNMI Congressman Manuel Sablan said that the APIL general assembly is the perfect venue for legislative leaders of the member nations to have a chance to talk on matters of common interests.

“It is important that we have this kind of fora where our problems are threshed out so that we may not commit the same- mistakes again.”

“This is a meeting of cultures towards a common goal of economic development for the region,” Sablan added.

“It is also noteworthy that even if in the past our two houses in the legislature have been in disagreement in some issues, this assembly provides a venue where both houses of congress are in agreement over one common goal,” he pointed out.
