A Comment from Senator Daryl Beall

I spoke often about citizen diplomacy while in China for three weeks earlier this summer. The Des Moines Register published my essay on citizen diplomacy, noting that more Iowans per capita have passports than any other state, and the audacity of Roswell Garst to invite Premier Nikita Khrushchev to the cornfields of Iowa 50 years ago. That's a perfect illustration of citizen diplomacy. I wish you continued success.
