June 20, 2008.
On June 20, Consul General Matt Boyse spoke at the start of a conference entitled "The State of the Leading Western Power: The USA before the Presidential Elections" at the Theodor Heuss Academy (THA) in Gummersbach. In his address, he urged the participants to challenge commonly held views about the Administration’s foreign and economic policies, to delve deeper into the details of policy, and to consider larger strategic factors as they form their views. At the event, which was co-sponsored by the German Atlantic Society, Naumann-Foundation National Deputy Chair Axel Hoffmann underscored the value of Consulate support in bringing U.S. perspectives to the Academy's transatlantic dialogue.
