　　In the last decade, thanks inlarge part to the work of USAID, our exports to Vietnamincreased by more than700 percent. Every one of those percentage points are jobs here inAmerica. Andin the last two decades, a thousand Vietnamese students and scholars havestudiedand taught in America through the Fulbright program, including theForeign Minister ofVietnam, who I just talked to the other day and who,believe me, has feelings about Americabecause of that engagement.

Theseinvestments,my friends, are paying for themselves. We create more than 5,000 jobs foreverybillion dollars of goods and services that we export. So the last thing that weshould do issurrender this kind of leverage.
