    Stephen Laskowski is following in the footsteps of Ontario
    Trucking Association president David Bradley, who has become
    a master at understanding and - in the correct fora -
    articulating the border and transportation interests of the
    trucking community, which moves so much of North America's
    trade.  It is essential that this indispensable cog in our
    trade have a full understanding, not only of how to partner
    and converse with various levels of government and business
    on the Canadian side, but on the U.S. side as well.
    Laskowski would benefit from meetings with DHS, to better
    understand how the various border programs work and are
    intended to work; with state departments of transportation,
    not only in neighboring states, where contacts likely
    already exist, but in other border states, such as
    Washington State, California or Texas, to learn how others
    deal with border issues; with members of Congress or
    staffers to open a dialogue on border issues; and with city
    governments that have dealt with knotty traffic problems.
    It would give Laskowski, i.a., a greater understanding of
    how security and efficient trade can be balanced, and help
    him put the security aspect into its proper perspective.

    START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
    Rob Kroeker, who works in the British Columbia Ministry of
    the Solicitor General as director of commercial vehicle
    safety, has a background in law, criminology and
    transportation.  The post nominates him for an IVL program
    that explores ground transportation policy at the local,
    state, and federal level in the U.S. as well as at the U.S.-
    Canada bilateral level and NAFTA international level.
    Mr. Kroeker sits on the Canadian Council of Motor Transport
    Administrators, which is the body with federal, provincial
    and territorial representatives who coordinate all matters
    regarding administration, regulation and control of motor
    vehicle transportation. This would include transport of
    hazardous goods and transport strategies.
    Mr. Kroeker envisions his future as an assistant or deputy
    minister dealing with transport.  He is very interested in
    learning more about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
    Administration, meeting state counterparts in commercial
    transportation and law enforcement, and organizations
    dealing with security and safety. Better knowledge of the
    U.S. side of commercial ground transportation would assist
    him (and Canada) to better harmonize transport rules which
    he says can be quite divergent. Some examples in which  U.S.
    and Canada regulations differ include hours of service
    (hours a trucker can be on the road), safety inspection
    criteria, and border rules. He would like to see what
    directions are being taken for common rules applying to
    NAFTA, anticipating more tri-country trade in the future.
    Mr. Kroeker presently does not have any contacts at the U.S.
    federal and state levels of government. An IVL program for
    Mr. Kroeker would be a useful means of opening
    communications between our two countries in regards to
    commercial ground transportation.
    The president of the B.C. Trucking Association speaks very
    highly of Mr. Kroeker and believes he has a bright future in
    government. With a Bachelors Degree in criminology, a law
    degree and a Masters Degree in public administration, Mr.
    Kroeker has a solid foundation to be effective in his future
    work, and in cooperating with American neighbors to ensure
    secure and smooth border crossings.
