START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
This nomination supports the post's goal of protecting
critical infrastructure and secure and stable markets.
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.

NOMINATING-OFFICER: CG Arreaga, PA Hillman and Eng
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.
