NINETEENTH CONGRESS OF THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA
THIRD SPECIAL SESSION, 2015 C.R. NO. 19-155
A RESOLUTION
Requesting the President of the Federated States of Micronesia to
terminate the Amended Compact of Free Association with the United
States of America, pursuant to section 441 of the Amended Compact,
such termination to take effect no later than 2018.
WHEREAS, the Amended Compact of Free Association was
entered into by the Federated States of Micronesia and the
United States of America with the intent of maintaining a close
and mutually beneficial relationship between our two nations;
and
WHEREAS, the United States derives many benefits from the
Amended Compact, not least of which is its exclusive control
over the military use of the Federated States of Micronesia’s
extensive territorial waters and airspace; and
WHEREAS, the recent words and deeds of United States
policymakers suggest they view the Amended Compact as an act of
charity by the United States rather than a treaty between two
sovereign nations; and
WHEREAS, the United States has abused its majority on the
US-FSM Joint Economic Management Committee (JEMCO) to force
through resolutions contrary to the interests of the Federated
States of Micronesia; and
WHEREAS, most recently, the United States members of JEMCO
have unilaterally made drastic cuts to the funding of the
C.R. NO. 19-155
College of Micronesia-FSM without prior discussion or
consultation with leaders of the Federated States of
Micronesia; and
WHEREAS, the United States Senate Committee on
Appropriations has recently recommended that the United States
Department of Homeland Security consider establishing a pre-
screening process and requiring advanced permission for
prospective travelers from the Federated States of Micronesia
and other Freely Associated States to enter the United States;
now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED that the Nineteenth Congress of the
Federated States of Micronesia, Third Special Session, 2015,
requests that the President of the Federated States of
Micronesia terminate the Amended Compact of Free Association
with the United States of America, pursuant to section 441 of
the Amended Compact, such termination to take effect no later
than 2018; and

25
C.R. NO. 19-155

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this
resolution be transmitted to the President of the Federated
States of Micronesia.
