SUBJECT: Celebrating International Education Week
 
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell released a statement in support of the
fifth annual International Education Week (IEW) to be held November 15-19,
2004. Recognizing the importance of international education and exchange to
the democracy, economy, and culture of the United States, Powell encouraged
participation in IEW as a way to highlight these benefits and "to express
appreciation for students and scholars who study and teach here; and to
commend the millions of people who build and strengthen bridges of
international understanding by organizing and participating in exchange
programs." To view the statement, access:
