What the Secretary Has Been Saying

Secretary Powell very strongly believes that he has a responsibility "to talk to the American people about what we are doing in their name, what President Bush is doing with his foreign policy.  And the way to do that is not just with us giving speeches, but to communicate through the media."  Through this web page, the Bureau of Public Affairs will communicate with Americans and the media to release all speeches, testimony, briefings, statements, and other remarks from the Secretary of State as soon as they are available.  (Also see daily press briefings by the Department Spokesman and other releases from the Press Relations Office.)
