    ¶R. NARRATIVE:

      MR. VAN DER KROGT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY BOTH THE MISSION
      AND HIS HOME INSTITUTION AS A POLICYMAKER OF OUTSTANDING
      PROMISE.  HE HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS A HIGHLY
      REGARDED MEMBER OF NEW ZEALAND'S NATIONAL SECURITY AND
      DEFENSE ESTABLISHMENT.

      THE PROGRAM IS AN ESPECIALLY GOOD FIT FOR VAN DER KROGT,
      AS HE IS ABOUT TO TRANSFER TO THE INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE
      RELATIONS SECTION AS A DESK OFFICER, WHERE HE WILL
      CONCENTRATE ON THE NEW ZEALAND-UNITED STATES DEFENSE
      RELATIONSHIP.  IN THIS CAPACITY HE WILL PLAY A CENTRAL
      ROLE AS A SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE AND ADVICE ON US POLICY AND
      PERCEPTIONS OF SECURITY, WHICH IS CRITICAL WHENEVER US
      VIEWS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED.  AN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF US
      POLICY AND HOW IT IS ARRIVED AT IS CRUCIAL FOR VAN DER
      KROGT'S PROFESSIONAL DUTIES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIS
      INSTITUTION'S NATIONAL SECURITY AND DEFENSE REQUIREMENTS.
      AS A POLICY CONCEPT, NATIONAL SECURITY IN NEW ZEALAND IS
      CURRENTLY AT THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE.  THE MINISTRY IS A
      CORE MEMBER OF NEW ZEALAND'S SECURITY COMMUNITY AND ACTS
      AS A LEADING AGENCY IN A MULTI-AGENCY EFFORT TO SERVE NEW
      ZEALAND'S NATIONAL SECURITY AND DEFENSE REQUIREMENTS.  AS
      A LEADER IN A FIELD OF EMERGING POLICYMAKERS, VAN DER
      KROGT IS RECEPTIVE TO NEW IDEAS AND CHANGE AND IS AN
      EXCELLENT CANDIDATE FOR THE PROGRAM.  HIS PARTICIPATION
      WILL FURTHER ENHANCE HIS ABILITY TO PROVIDE ADVICE IN
      DEVELOPING NEW ZEALAND'S FLEDGLING NATIONAL SECURITY
      POLICY.

      VAN DER KROGT'S NOMINATION WILL HELP TO SATISFY THE
      COUNTERTERRORISM AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY PORTIONS OF THE
      MISSION PERFORMANCE PLAN (MPP).  HIS PARTICIPATION IN THE
      PROGRAM WILL HELP STRENGTHEN NEW ZEALAND'S
      COUNTERTERRORISM CAPABILITIES AND IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING
      AND COLLABORATION IN THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISM.  IN
      ADDITION, HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROGRAM WOULD HELP
      IMPROVE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING, COUNTER MISPERCEPTIONS, AND
      HELP STRENGTHEN LONG-TERM POLICY GOALS THAT WILL BENEFIT
      BOTH THE US AND NEW ZEALAND.

    ¶S. STATEMENT BY CANDIDATE INDICATING WHY HE IS INTERESTED IN
      PARTICIPATING AND WHAT HE EXPECTS TO GET OUT OF THE
      PROGRAM:

      I AM AN INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL POLICY ANALYST IN THE
      INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE RELATIONS (IDR) BRANCH OF THE NEW
      ZEALAND MINISTRY OF DEFENSE.   THE IDR BRANCH IS
      RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING NEW ZEALAND'S BILATERAL DEFENSE
      RELATIONSHIPS AND PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN ADVISING GOVERNMENT
      ON THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE NEW ZEALAND DEFENSE FORCE.

      WITHIN THE IDR BRANCH I AM THE DESK OFFICER FOR THE NEW
      ZEALAND-UNITED STATES DEFENSE RELATIONSHIP.  THE UNITED
      STATES IS OFTEN A KEY OPERATIONAL PARTNER FOR NEW
      ZEALAND, AND WE OFTEN FIND COMMON CAUSE ON INTERNATIONAL
      ISSUES.  MORE BROADLY, UNITED STATES FOREIGN AND SECURITY
      POLICY HAS A PERVASIVE GLOBAL INFLUENCE ON STRATEGIC
      MATTERS.

      I HAVE A BROAD KNOWLEDGE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, AND
      CONTEMPORARY SECURITY MATTERS, BUT MY KNOWLEDGE OF US
      PERCEPTIONS OF SECURITY AND THE PROCESS OF POLICY
      FORMULATION IS RELATIVELY MODEST.

      THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
      FOUNDATIONS AND FORMULATION OF US NATIONAL SECURITY
      POLICY IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA WOULD THEREFOR BE
      INVALUABLE TO ME, THE MINISTRY, AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS
      ACROSS GOVERNMENT.

      LEARNING ABOUT THE US POLICY PROCESS WOULD BE
      PARTICULARLY VALUABLE AT THIS TIME SINCE THE ROLES OF NEW
      ZEALAND'S NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCIES -- AND THEIR
      RELATIONSHIPS TO EACH OTHER -- ARE CURRENTLY EVOLVING IN
      RESPONSE TO CONTEMPORARY RISKS AND CHALLENGES.

      PRIOR TO JOINING THE IDR BRANCH LATE IN 2005, I WORKED
      FOR TWO YEARS IN THE MINISTRY'S STRATEGIC POLICY (SP)
      BRANCH.  THE SP BRANCH ANALYZES STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
      AND TRENDS AND LINKS MILITARY CAPABILITY REQUIREMENTS TO
      POLICY SETTINGS.  I EXPECT TO REMAIN IN THE DEFENSE AND
      SECURITY FIELD FOR THE LONG TERM.

      I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH A MULTI-
      NATIONAL GROUP OF PRACTITIONERS AND ACADEMICS; A MULTI-
      NATIONAL GROUP PROMISES A RICH AND ROBUST EXCHANGE OF
      IDEAS.  I AM HIGHLY MOTIVATED, AND I AM COMFORTABLE WITH
      CAMPUS LIFE AND AN ACTIVE SCHEDULE.  I HAVE THE CAPACITY
      TO PERFORM UNDER PRESSURE, TO REVIEW LARGE QUANTITIES OF
      INFORMATION, AND TO DISTILL AND CRITIQUE KEY CONCEPTS.
