An International Visitor Program for "Depute" HUYGHE would
address the MPP Strategic Goal of "Economic Prosperity and
Security" by promoting exchanges between U.S. policymakers and
an important French politician. It would also help a lawmaker
who has already worked on financial reform to better
understand U.S. financial markets in order to use that
knowledge to "ease the regulatory burden on financial
markets."
END MEMO NOM-POST-OBJ:
START MEMO NOM-POST-RCMD:
Nominating officer recommends a program that focuses on
Monsieur Huyghe's interest in financial reform and his
involvement with cleaning up industrial pollution. Either an
individual or a group program would be appropriate. Meetings
in Washington should focus on financial and environmental
legislation and regulation. Visits to the New York Stock
Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to
see the system in operation would be most useful, as would the
opportunity to see successfully completed as well as ongoing
clean-up operations. Love Canal comes to mind.

NOMINATING-OFFICER: Richard Huckaby
START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Sebastien Huyghe is definitely a rising star in the UMP (Union
pour un Mouvement Populaire). Having deposed Lille's Socialist
Mayor Martine AUBRY from her seat in the National Assembly in
the last general election in 2002, he has attracted both local
and national attention. A very active "depute", his interests
include finance law and the environment. For example, he was
instrumental in pushing through legislation reducing the tax
burden of expatriate executives living in France in 2003, and
he serves as Vice-President of the legislative study group on
historical environmental pollution. He is also a member of the
group responsible for France-U.S. relations.
Although he has hardly any U.S. experience (about two weeks
total), he has an open mind and a generally positive view. An
International Visitor program would allow him to learn
firsthand about various aspects of the American political
scene, including the functioning of legislative bodies and the
private/government partnerships which have been developed to
address environmental problems. He has the personality and the
intellectual capacity to counter some of the traditional anti-
Americanism of French intellectuals and politicians. The
opportunity for him to learn about U.S. pollution control
technologies could also bring business to American companies.
It is certainly in the interest of the U.S. government for
this young political leader to have the opportunity to
experience directly various aspects of U.S. political and
cultural life.

Nominee is an active politician with ambitions to win elective
office -- though (like many members of the ruling UMP party)
he lost his bid last March for a regional counsellorship in
his native region of Normandy. Nominee is a well-respected,
up-and-coming member of the Gaullist "current" of the center-
right. His interest (and governing experience as a former
prefect and bureaucrat in the Ministry of the Interior
following his graduation from France's elite Ecole Normale
d'Administration) is in domestic governance. In addition, as
Chief of Staff to the President of the National Assembly he
has considerable influence on legislators' approach to both
domestic and international affairs matters. Nominee has never
been to the U.S. A better understanding of the U.S. and the
U.S. policy-making process should inform -- to our benefit --
nominee's contributions to policy making in France.

We hope Mr. Bechu will gain a better understanding of the U.S.
political system, and greater knowledge of American values and
culture, thus promoting mutual understanding between our two
countries. We would also like to see him develop a network of
contacts in the U.S., especially at the county and municipal
level, with whom he could exchange ideas about economic
development. This exchange of experiences would help promote
economic development of the U.S. Ideally, Mr. Bechu will
develop a greater appreciation for the U.S. that will incline
him toward cooperation with the U.S., thus enhancing our own
security, as he moves upward through the French political
ranks.
END MEMO NOM-POST-OBJ:
START MEMO NOM-POST-RCMD:
Mr. Bechu should spend some time in Washington, DC to meet
with elected officials and government representatives, and to
gain a better understanding of the U.S. political system. He
should also visit a few small cities where he can speak to
elected officials and economic development specialists to
share ideas on attracting jobs and business to smaller
municipalities.

NOMINATING-OFFICER: Gary A. Clements
START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Christophe Bechu is the youngest person ever elected President
of a General Council in France. He was elected a municipal
councilor of his hometown of Avrille even before completing
his studies at Sciences Po in Paris. Although clearly
ambitious, he has kept his focus on the demands of his current
job, where he is responsible for a team of 1200 General
Council employees. He has made a point of visiting each
canton of his department to listen to the needs of the
citizens. A devoted member of the conservative UMP party,
Bechu is nevertheless well liked by his political opponents,
and respected for his efforts to improve the economic
situation in Maine-et-Loire. Bechu has made only one brief
trip to the U.S. to study a botanical park that he hopes to
recreate in his department as part of his economic development
plan. He would thus benefit greatly from exposure to the
American political system at this early stage in his promising
career. As he assumes positions of greater authority in the
French government, his IV experience will make him more
inclined to work cooperatively with the U.S. on matters of
mutual interest.

We hope Mr. Rouault will gain an understanding of the variety
of approaches rural areas in the United States have used
successfully to ensure their economic survival and protection
of their environment.
Mr. Rouault will become an important opinion maker in France
in the coming years and is potentially a valuable future
contact for the USG. It is our hope that as a result of his
participation in the IV program, Philippe Rouault will be
inclined to seek out U.S. views on agriculture, trade and
other international affairs issues and to support cooperation
with the U.S. both privately and publicly.
END MEMO NOM-POST-OBJ:
START MEMO NOM-POST-RCMD:
Mr. Rouault should learn about American political institutions
and should meet with elected officials so as to better
understand the U.S. political system. Additionally, he should
meet with high-profile farm leaders and U.S. policy makers
from farming regions with whom he can exchange views on
current trends in rural development.

START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Philippe Rouault, elected Member of the National Assembly in
2002, is a former mayor of the suburban town of Pace, and
former member of the General Council of the Ille-et-Vilaine
Department. Rouault is a rising star in the UMP party and
achieved national prominence in September 2003 when he
attended the WTO Cancun Ministerial meeting as a special envoy
of the French Parliament. Rouault has always been interested
in French-American relations, but has had little direct
exposure to the U.S. In his role as the committee reporter
for the Environmental Commission of the French Parliament,
Rouault has taken a keen interest in rural development in
order to advance the interests of his largely rural
constituency. An IV program on rural development and
governance will enable Mr. Rouault to draw on the experiences
of rural communities in the U.S. in fashioning a strategy for
his district. It will also help ensure continued positive
relations between the U.S. and this young man with a bright
political future.

START MEMO NOM-POST-OBJ:
We hope Mr. Nocquet will gain an understanding on how rural
areas cope with an evolving economy and ensuing population
shifts, with a special focus on ways to attract new families,
develop new business and maintain basic services.
We would also like to see him develop a network of contacts in
the U.S., especially at the county and municipal level, with
whom he could exchange ideas about economic development.
Ideally, Mr Nocquet will develop a greater appreciation for
the U.S. that will incline him toward cooperation with the
U.S. as he moves upward through the French political ranks.
END MEMO NOM-POST-OBJ:
START MEMO NOM-POST-RCMD:
Mr Nocquet should spend some time in Washington, DC to meet
with elected officials and government representatives. This
will enable him to gain a better understanding of the U.S.
political system, and of federal government programs that
address economic development. He should also visit a few small
cities in rural areas where he can speak to elected officials
and economic development specialists to share ideas on how to
integrate development goals in a mixed rural/urban setting.

NOMINATING-OFFICER: Emilie Salieges
START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Olivier Nocquet is the young, energetic and very forward-
looking parliamentary assistant of Senator Jean Bizet, the UMP
Senator from the La Manche department of Normandy. A junior
politician-in-the-making, Mr. Nocquet is committed to the
Normandy region through both family ties and his personal
desire to assist his native region in its attempt to gain a
more solid economic and political footing. La Manche is home
to the largest number of agricultural enterprises in the
Normandy region. Characterized by small towns that rely on a
rural economy, La Manche is very concerned by agricultural
issues between France, the U.S. and the E.U. It faces problems
like rural migration to urban areas, closings of small
businesses and unfavorable implementation of farming quota
policies. In this regard, Mr. Nocquet works hard with Senator
Jean Bizet, a very pro-American Senator who is the head of the
Senate's Biotechnology Committee and special assistant to the
Foreign Trade Minister, to ensure rural economic survival in
this part of France. Although Mr. Nocquet is very
professional, he appears to APP Rennes staff to have little
concrete information on the U.S., its policies and rural
development practices. We believe that an IV grant for Mr.
Nocquet would provide him with the contacts and factual
information he needs to promote a mutually beneficial dialogue
between the U.S. and the agricultural stronghold he serves.
