Ron is going to have the responsibility of working toward opening markets throughout the world to create new opportunities and higher living standards for our families, our farmers, our manufacturers, our workers, our consumers, our businesses. That old joke they used to tell about Willie Sutton. They said, "Why do you rob banks?" He said, "Because that's where the money is." Why do we need trade? That's where the customers are.
