County Executive Charlie A. Dooley Meets With Diplomatic Delegation Led By Bogor Mayor Diani Budiarto

SEPTEMBER 12, 2005, St. Louis, Missouri ...

In a ceremony at St. Louis County government offices, Mr. Dooley and Mayor Budiarto, accompanied by a delegation of diplomats and business leaders from Indonesia, signed documents confirming increased efforts to promote productive exchanges in medicine, education, science and technology, as well as business development and cultural interchange.

Mr. Dooley said, "This is a great day because greater St. Louis and Bogor have a great deal in common as communities and we look forward to working together to improve relationships for mutual betterment and growth."

Mayor Budiarto said, "This agreement signifies a beneficial affiliation between our two metropolitan areas that will lead to expanded and strengthened relations."

Bogor is a city of 831,000 near the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta in the province of West Java. St. Louis County and Bogor officially established a Sister Cities relationship in May 2004 to promote business, cultural and educational exchange. Today’s agreement enhances that relationship by defining mutual objectives and the scope of cooperation between St. Louis County and Bogor, a center for Indonesia’s agriculture industry which, like St. Louis, has a world-class botanical garden.

Among other initiatives, the agreement proposed establishing a Joint Working Group to recommend activities between the two communities, and also advocates more travel, diplomatic visits and business exchange to foster better cross-cultural understanding.

Today’s ceremony was hosted by the St. Louis Center for International Relations (www.slcir.org), the non-profit entity that coordinates 15 sister cities programs in St. Louis City and County, including the St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee, and which supports exchanges in commerce, education, technology, culture and the arts. The St. Louis Center for International Relations is affiliated with World Trade Center Saint Louis (www.worldtradecenter-stl.com), a unit of the St. Louis County Economic Council.

In January 2005, the St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee established an Indonesian Tsunami Relief Fund which raised money to help Indonesians who lost their homes after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake erupted 95 miles off Indonesia’s Sumatra Island, triggering a tidal wave that ripped across the Indian Ocean.

The St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee today donated $3,200 to representatives of the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia to help support victims of the tsunami disaster that to date has killed more than 85,000 Indonesian people.

The St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Indonesian Tsunami Relief Fund raised the money to help Indonesians who lost homes, family and friends after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake erupted 95 miles off Indonesia's Sumatra Island late, triggering a tidal wave that ripped across the Indian Ocean.

The tsunami struck Sumatra the hardest of 12 nations affected by the disaster late in December. Millions of Indonesians lack clean water and basic supplies. Authorities anticipate greater human loss with the potential spread of cholera and other diseases.

Passanise said, "We sincerely thank compassionate St. Louis citizens and companies who made financial contributions to this relief effort, and we will continue to raise donations to help Indonesia's disaster victims."

The St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee initiated the relief effort with help from the Indonesian Consulate's office; Permias - the Indonesian Student Association of St. Louis; PLN, the Indonesian Electric Power Company; the St. Louis Center for International Relations; and World Trade Center Saint Louis.

The last several days have been sad days for me and millions other people from the 12 countries in Asia that were affected by the earthquake and tsunami disaster. This killer tsunami killed our people, destroyed our houses, our schools, our hospitals, our churches, our mosques, and a lot more. So far, according to the 'Jakarta Post', the earthquake and tsunami killed up 100,000 people on Sumatra island alone.

In the CNN Special News Report last Saturday night, I watched thousands and thousands of my people's dead bodies being burned and bulldozed into mass graveyards. In the meantime, thousands of others are suffering. They are at risk of disease from contaminated water. Heavy rains in Indonesia's Aceh province have increased the risk of an outbreak of diseases like cholera and dysentery. More help is needed. Through this TV special news report I heard one of my people screamed for help in my language. He said, as translated by the CNN reporter: " We need help! Where is America?"

The Americans heard these screams for help. And together with several other nations in the globe, America responded in a great way. The US Secretary of State, Mr. Colin Powell said the following during a remark in the United Nations Headquarters in New York:

"On the part of the United States, we indicated in the first day of the crisis an initial infusion of $4 million, which became $15 million on the second day, and then $35 million on the third day as we made our assessment of what the needs were going to be over time. And as we indicated throughout the week, the United States was prepared to do more once we had a better understanding of what the requirements would be. And as a result of assessments that have been made over the last couple of days by representatives of the United States Agency for International Development and recommendations that were given to me early this morning by Administrator Natsios of USAID and then a phone conversation I subsequently had with President Bush this morning, President Bush has decided and we announced from the Crawford White House a little while ago that the United States contribution would now go up to $350 million. That includes the $35 million earlier allocated. So this tenfold increase is indicative of American generosity, but it also is indicative of the need. The need is great, and not just for immediate relief but for long-term reconstruction, rehabilitation, family support, and economic support that's going to be needed for these countries to get back up on their feet. "

In the meantime, in Saint Louis, thousands of people have been showing their supports in the form of prayers and donations. From the eight-year old child, who donated his entire week's allowance to aid the cause, to companies and organizations, who pledge their resources to help. As the principal of St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Organization, through my telephone and e-mail, I have received an unbelievable outpouring of loves, sympathies and prayers from friends in Saint Louis and other cities in the US. For all of those, Thank you Saint Louis. And also, Thank you America.

Saint Louis has a sister city relationship with a city in Indonesia, namely Bogor City. As the only organization in Saint Louis that is recognized by the government of Indonesia and the US (locally), which connect the people of Indonesia and the people of this great region, "St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Organization" desires to continue working hard connecting the people from the two communities. As of today, the works to assist the victims and survivors of the tsunami tragedy are still in progress. The St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Organization in coordination with Indonesian Consulate General and Indonesian Embassy in the US will continue these works in progress. The prayers and the contibutions are still needed. To help with your contributions, please send them to:

St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities / Indonesian Tsunami Relief Fund

Thank you again Saint Louis.

Sincerely,

Press Release Regarding Tsunami Disaster

For Immediate Release:

St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee Creates Indonesia Relief Fund

Indonesian Island of Sumatra Hard Hit by Tsunami Disaster

January 2, 2005, St. Louis, Missouri ... The St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee has organized a relief effort for Indonesian victims of the tsunami disaster that to date has killed more than 85,000 people in Indonesia. Much of Indonesia’s island of Sumatra was devastated after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake erupted about 95 miles off the coastline, triggering a tidal wave that ripped across the Indian Ocean to Africa. The tsunami struck Sumatra the hardest of 12 nations affected by the disaster. Millions of Indonesians lack clean water and basic supplies. Authorities anticipate greater human loss with the potential spread of cholera and other diseases.

Joe Passanise, President, St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee, said, "We appeal to compassionate St. Louis citizens and companies to make a tax-deductible financial contribution of any size to this relief effort." Tax-deductible donations to the "St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities/Indonesian Tsunami Relief Fund" should be mailed to Southwest Bank, 700 Corporate Park Drive, Clayton, MO 63105.

The St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee initiated the relief effort with help from several organizations, including the Indonesian Consulate’s office; Permias – the Indonesian Student Association of St. Louis; PLN, the Indonesian Electric Power Company; the St. Louis Center for International Relations; and World Trade Center-Saint Louis.

St. Louis County and Bogor officially established a Sister Cities relationship last May to promote business, cultural and educational exchange. Bogor is a city of 700,000 near the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta. The non-profit St. Louis Center for International Relations (www.slcir.org) coordinates 14 sister cities programs in St. Louis City and County.

Sister Cities International

Sister Cities International was initiated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as the People to People program at a White House Conference in 1956. His idea was to involve people and organized groups in personal diplomacy as an effort to continue the peace. In the first few years of the program, a dozen active affiliations were started, and it became clear that a new national organization devoted exclusively to the support of the Sister Cities program was needed. In response, Sister Cities International (SCI) was established as a not-for-profit corporation to facilitate and serve as the official linking organization for U.S. cities. Currently, almost 1,000 U.S. cities have linked with over 1,500 cities in over 110 countries around the world.

St.Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee

The Committee was established on the early 2000 by Mr. Alex Soetjipto, an Indonesian who resides in St. Louis, Missouri, and Mr. Joe Passanise, a Saint Louisan. It is originally a part of the St. Louis Center for International Relations, a non-profit entity funded by the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County to help Saint Louis to develop socio-economic exchanges with other cities and nations, including reciprocal investments. The St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Organization (Committee) is currently a part of the World Trade Center Saint Louis, an entity which is a part of an extensive global association of over 300 World Trade Centers, with overall goals to enhance international trade, promote local economic development, and ultimately foster peace and stability through trade.

On 2000, Alex Soetjipto and Joe Passanise, Principals of IndoSuccess, LLC, began lobbying for community support to establish a sister city relationship between St. Louis, Missouri and Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Early advocates included His Excellency DR. Dorodjatun Kuntjoro-Jakti, the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) to US (Fmr.), the Honorable George "Buzz" Westfall, the County Executive of St. Louis County (Fmr.), the Honorable Indra Cahya Sempurnajaya, the Consul General of RI in Chicago (Fmr.), the Honorable Charlie Dooley, the County Executive of St. Louis County, and Mr. Jean Anes, the Consul for Economic Affairs of Indonesian Consulate General in Chicago (Fmr.).

In 2001, the Honorable Bob Holden, the Governor of Missouri, and the Honorable DR. Bungaran Saragih, the Minister of Agriculture of RI, signed a joint statement in support of the establishment of this sister cities program.

On 2003, the letters of acknowledgement between the Honorable Iswara Natanegara, the Mayor of Bogor (Fmr.), and the Honorable Charlie Dooley was exchanged. In it, an agreement asserting the cities commitment to "promote new business development, community growth, and educational and medical exchange for the mutual benefit of both communities and countries" was expressed. Later on, at the same year, the first official meeting with the St. Louis County Government to establish the St.Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Program was conducted. Dignitaries in attendance were Honorable Charlie Dooley, Councilman, 1st Council District; Honorable Skip Mange, Councilman, 3rd County Council District and Chairman of the St. Louis County Council; Mr. Robert Grant, Deputy County Counselor, St. Louis County Government; Mr. Robert Heuermann, Jr., Director of the St. Louis Center for International Relations and the World Trade Center Saint Louis; Honorable Sumahadi, Minister of Forestry and Plantation, Republic of Indonesia (Fmr); Mr. Utoyo Sutopo, President, Indonesian Dental Association (Fmr); Dr. Joel Glassman, Director, Center for International Studies, UMSL; Mr. Rachmadi Santoso, Partner, PT Tiga Sekawan Sejati Company, Jakarta, Indonesia; Mr. Supriadi Legino, Manager, Human Resources Division, PT PLN Indonesia, Indonesian Electric Utility Company; Mr. Joe Passanise, Principal of IndoSuccess, LLC.; and Mr. Alex Soetjipto, Principal of IndoSuccess, LLC..

In the early 2004, Honorable Daulat H.A. Pasaribu, Consul General, Ms. Endang Dewi Mardeyani, Consul for Economic affairs, of the Indonesian Consulate General in Chicago, the Directorate of Economic and Socio-Cultural Treaties of the Indonesian Department of Foreign Affairs, the Principals and Representatives of the St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Committee in St. Louis and Gogor, the Leaderships of the St. Louis County Government, and the Leaderships of the Bogor City Government coordinated the signing of the letter of intent for the establishment of the St. Louis-Bogor Sister Cities Program.

On May 19, 2004, the letter of intent between the Honorable Diani Budiarto, the Mayor of Bogor City, and the Honorable Charlie Dooley was signed. And, in the sameday, the joint statement between the Honorable Daulat H.A. Pasaribu, the Indonesian Consul General in Chicago, and the Honorable Charlie Dooley, and the joint statement between the Honorable Daulat H.A. Pasaribu and the Honorable Francis Slay, the Mayor of St. Louis City, were signed to support the establishment of this sister cities program.
