Guam - Along with Department of the Interior Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Insular Affairs Tony Babauta, governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands John de Jongh, Jr. is on Guam. He came here upon the invitation of Babauta, Governor Eddie Calvo and University of Guam president Dr. Robert Underwood.

"I decided to take the opportunity because there's a tremendous amount of similarities and Guam and the Virgin Islands and I decided to come here and learn for myself," said de Jongh. Some of what they are but at the same time talk to them about their energy and their energy task force and what they're doing in that area."
