There is a natural partnership between State and Commerce, and the American business community to work together to educate the United States about marketing overseas.

Now there is a cultural change under way in the Foreign Service.

My own view of this, by the way, is, if the war on terrorism is successful over time, in its own way it's going to box Saddam in in a way that's going to make it much more difficult for him to maintain his power, and that he's going to become increasingly isolated. I think that's going to take time.

The question is not really about a shift to the economic cone where officers are writing about the balance of payments and the need for economic stabilization.

We have to spend a lot more time training people to be good advocates of U.S. business.

My point here is I think international pressures of our acting unilaterally again are going to be such that the administration will say, well, we just can't take this on now.
