Talk:Compact of Free Association

message: "The freely associated states are all dependent on U.S. financial assistance to meet both government operational and capital needs." Even if its true, its poorly written, showing a superiority that isnt adequate for an Encyclopedia. LtDoc 12:31, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

message: "Compact Impact" means immigrants from ROP/FSM/RMI to GU/MP/HI/AS use services (education, medical, etc) thus creating a financial "impact" to those US local governments, and therefore these US islands are reimbursed by the US federal government for the "impact" caused by the "compact".  These four jurisdictions, due to their proximity to the 3 FASs, have high concentrations of those populations.  (Unlike CA, where Micronesian impact is negligible when compared to illegal Mexicans' impact.)
Compact Impact had been requested well before Compact 2 and granted annually by the US Congress.  What happened at Compact 2 (RMI/FSM only, since Palau's Compact 1 is not expired yet) was that the GU/HI/AS congressional representatives pushed for Compact Impact reimbursements to be written into the Compact (a treaty) itself, therefore guaranteeing money for a long term.  Therefore "immigration from Palau" is relevant info to explain "compact impact" despite Palau still running on Compact 1. HkCaGu 08:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: As these places use the US domestic mail addressing format, when and how should a "country" be indicated? No need to include USA or via USA if posted from the USA. The zip code is what the post office uses to sort mail.
For mail from California to Palau, which of these is correct? For mail from France to Palau which is correct?

message: The article doesn't really mention when was this established. Categories suggest 1986, but I think this is when it entered into force, but it was designed and signed in 1983, which is an important date that appears in some sources. This article should clarify this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:05, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
