Lawrence Eagleburger Officers Quotations

What is more important is that Foreign Service Officers understand business, about the needs of U.S. business and how to help U.S. companies make the right connections abroad.

What we need is to develop in all Foreign Service Officers a better instinct for understanding the needs of U.S. business abroad.

We must institute more training to give Foreign Service Officers the skills to do what they must do in this new world of commercial competition.

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.
