In a time of constrained resources we will have to shift emphasis. but not necessarily from the traditional Political Officer to the traditional Economic Officer.

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.

Any Ambassador or Foreign Service Officer who has his or her head screwed on right knows that the U.S. position in the world is far more dependent on our ability to compete in world markets.

There is no question in my mind that if given a chance, Saddam will again try to become the bully on the block in his part of the world.

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.
