Mr. President. now that you have a world where you do not just deal with the Soviet Union and the whole focus is not on arms control and the arms race. you actually have unleashed a whole set of additional forces that make diplomacy far more complicated. In many ways. when you had the Soviet Union and the United States and people were dividing up along those lines. you had a much easier dynamic to work with than the current international economic competitive structure. with all of the attendant environmental. crime. refugee. ethnic conflict and other issues that have been liberated. I respectfully suggest that the world we face today requires a knowledge of what is happening in countries. an understanding of that ethnic force. an understanding of who is who within the criminal constellation. an understanding of the dynamics of how we can assist other countries to move toward sustainable developmenta host of issues that are far more difficult to leverage and that require personal relationships in the leveraging. Yet. here we are withdrawing ourselves from the very capacity to create those kinds of personal relationships.
