susan: tom foley, from washington. can you talk about his career doinggain, what he was during his career to promote this kind of globalization and diversity? christopher: tom foley is very involved on a number of friends. a little bit about his background, he is born in spokane and raised in eastern washington. timeframe, he goes to the university of washington to do graduate studies in the early 1950's. he is in the soviet studies program at one point. very early on, he becomes an international. he becomes very interested in what is going on outside of his home state. another really formative moment for him and this is much later on. he becomes congressman from the fifth district in eastern washington in 1965. he is assigned to the house agriculture committee, which is a really big assignment for eastern washington congressman, because he can directly affect the lives of his constituents. one of the things that happens to him is that he is in a meeting of the agriculture committee, i think in about 1967 or so -- a de
