Secretary Powell: "Welcome to our new student web site future.state.gov. I invite you to explore the world of American diplomacy and get a taste for what it takes to serve on the front lines of freedom.
Read about another country, take a walk back through diplomatic history, familiarize yourself with real world challenges that the men and women of the State Department deal with every single day. And as you surf, keep in mind our mission: to be America’s face to the world.
One day I hope that we can call upon you to be a face for our country. Until then, enjoy the site."
