    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."

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
