I am writing to thank you for your efforts in organizing the Asia-Pacific Business Outlook conference in Los Angeles. I thought that the conference was extremely successful, in large part because of the generosity of USC and your support of our Senior Commercial Officers in Asia. Our partnership with the University of Southern California, and its Center for International Business Education and Research, is exactly the type of collaboration that will facilitate the mandate of the National Export Initiative to double U.S. exports over the next five years and create millions of American jobs.

The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Thirty-one universities were designated as centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
