Kudos to our visiting federal officials: James Connaughton, Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality [CEQ] (a White House advisor); Tim Keeney, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere at the Department of Commerce; Lyle Laverty, Assistant Secretary of Fish, Wildlife and Parks at the U.S. Department of Interior; Sean Morton, NOAA official, and others who participated in the public forum Monday, October 20, 2008 at the Fiesta Resort.
Kudos also to our local CNMI government officials who organized the meeting.
