John Fleming actually said...

one of the things that I have learned--I have been on this committee for 6 years, and the really bottom-line thing I have learned about various countries, islands around the world and so forth is that, when you get Americans personally involved, they become advocates and they are willing to put their money and their commitment into that success.

Context

Fleming emphasizes the importance of personal involvement in conservation efforts.
