TRADE COMMISSIONERS MEETING Chicago, Illinois March 24, 1998 ..................................................................... • Welcome. Thank you for coming today. • Hope this meeting is the first of many. • It’s important to have ongoing dialogue with each other. • Global economy and international trade very important to Midwest economy. • Bill Testa, from our Research Department, will discuss little later. • After lunch, Jack Hervey also from our Research Department, will give an overview of the U.S. and international economies. • I know from my own experience as trade representative – economies cannot operate in isolation – trade helps bind us together – decisions of your policymakers affect Midwest and U.S. economies. • We need to understand each other. • Hope these kinds of meetings will help promote dialogue. • We’re very interested in hearing your ideas about international trade and investment. • Hope you find program interesting. • Like to introduce Marlene Murray and James Pieper [say “piper”] from our Corporate Communications department, who will present an overview of the Fed and give you a tour of Bank.
