E. SUMMARY

Implementing this global policy that is entirely consistent with President Bush’s objectives and philosophy, and is likely to enjoy bi-partisan congressional support, would raise the order of magnitude of the capacity of the wealthy half of the world to share its excess goods and services with the poor half, saving money and environment in the process -- money and environment that would otherwise be wasted by disposing of the excess goods in earth-fills or by other expensive and harmful means of disposal. Taking a leadership role in this project would greatly improve the credibility and leadership capability of the U.S.

Implementation of a Global TRANSFORM System would provide a cheaper alternative to present means of eliminating terrorism at its roots, saving lives and treasure in the process.

Leading by example, the U.S. could organize other nations to use the TRANSFORM Concept, implementing international agreements granting tax breaks to any carrier carrying any country’s donated goods to any poor peoples, resulting in greater global peace and prosperity.

The TRANSFORM Program under the National Forum Foundation (recently re-named the “Admiral Jeremiah Denton Foundation”) has proved in action that this basic concept works to a significant degree, even without having the incentives of a tax break or any other new advantages recommended in this paper. Military participants like the Commander of Southern Command can testify that the Denton Program and TRANSFORM are great catalysts for building American credibility and respect in formerly unfriendly countries.

The only thing needed to make the immense changes in global spirit, economy, and accelerated improvement in global quality of life, is a decision on the part of American leadership to take the initiative to establish this concept in a national/international program.

REAR ADMIRAL USN (RET)
