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: <a
