Aid to Colombia: The European Role in the Fight Against Narcoterrorism
Our support to Plan Colombia, complemented by our regional efforts in the Andes, represents a significant investment by the American people and Congress to fight the flow of drugs responsible for ending thousands of lives each year in the United States, most of them young Americans. It is also a robust effort to fight powerful, often entrenched terrorists in this Hemisphere. Finally, it is a bold and uncompromising initiative to protect democratic rule in Colombia, and across the Andean region. The grand gamble of robust support by the U.S. Congress – now showing fruit in Colombia – would not have been possible without the extraordinary, courageous and determined leadership of President Uribe. Since taking office in August 2002, his administration has taken an aggressive stand against narcoterrorism. That stand has enabled the broad panoply of hard and soft Colombia programs to work. I would like to say for the record, here today, that I believe President Uribe qualifies as one of the ... [Read More]
Interview on CNN With John King
SECRETARY RICE: Well, I don't know the context of the statement. What I think is being communicated is that we are active every day in the pursuit. But again, Usama bin Laden will be a tremendous victory -- the capture of Usama bin Laden or bringing him to justice will be a tremendous victory because he’s been the face of this terror, the face of what happened to us on 9/11. But it’s also important to remember that it is not just Usama bin Laden; this is a very dangerous network. Every time we take down one of their field generals, like the recent capture of Abu Faraj al-Libbi or the earlier capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, we weaken that organization as they get less and less experienced at that level. ...

USIS Washington File: U.S. TRADE DEFICIT POSTS ANOTHER RECORD IN MAY
NOTE: Data on a Census basis reflect movement of goods into and out of the United States through U.S. Customs Service stations. Balance-of-payments basis data adjust Census data to include products that bypass Customs, such as exports of military aircraft and imports of electricity from Canada. ... "As we have seen for several months, the data from Asian markets are troubling," Daley said. "The deterioration in the trade deficit and in U.S. exports this year can be accounted for by the deepening economic problems of that region. Exports to Asia, apart from China and Japan, were down 24 percent in May, compared to May 1997, and this is the third straight month of sharply depressed exports to Asia." ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Briefing on President Bush's Trip to Europe
We want to be supportive of the burgeoning civic society in Russia. I'm a university former provost and professor; I can tell you that one of the most important things that has happened since the collapse of the Soviet Union are the scores of Russian students that are studying in the United States, the easy exchange of peoples back and forth.

Everybody from the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Interior, Secretary of Agriculture. It has been quite something to see all of these people grappling with the issue. ...
