CH2M Hill, met with the engineering arm of one of the largest com pan tea in Korea In Seoul, a port district manager said the success of any of four appointments he had in one day would have justified the trip from Oregon As a result of one m eeting in which I helped a Portland com pans negotiate an import license, the firm won a $42 million contract with Korea That is especially s ign ifica n t because, ty p ic a lly , $42.000 in exports generates one job for an Oregon worker A Hood Hiver company that already does $1 million in trade with Saudi Arabia estimated it would triple those sales in two years One businessman on the Mideasl trip returned with $150 million in projects on which Oregon compan ies could bid A large Saudi Arabian trading and contracting company appointed one mem ber of our party as t niled States liaison officer And a representative of CH2M Hill (old me it would have taken him three to six months to make the contacts he was able to make in several days as a part of our trade mission In addition, I am using these trade missions to unlock increased trade through Oregon's ports, which already account for billions of dollars in trade and tens of thou sands of jolts On the trade mivsion to Korea and Taiwan, we solidified Oregon s position in wheal sales, gained a la-tter understanding of these na lions' shipping schedules for the next decade and developed new calls by ships from both countries We also identified prospects for joint ventures with Oregon com panics and for salex of building and en ergy con serva tion m a te ria ls made in our state For a state to identify markets that will produce new jobs is worth a great deal, yet the cost to Oregon has la-en relatively small For the four week, four nation Mideast mission for exam ple, the total cost to the stale was $31.322 for myself and four working staff members That is an investment that will produce many tim e* that figure in exports of Oregon goods and ser vices that will maintain johs for Oregonians who are working and w ill create jobs for 1 Iregomans who want to This month.

I am accompan led by a diversity of Oregon business leaders whom I will join in meeting with business and gov ernment executives in both coun tries I believe this mission has the potential to la- the most productive of the three missions I have led this year Itut the best way to answer the question "G overnor, where's the beef’ " is to tell you a little about the success of (he two earlier missions this year First, it is important to under stand these are not orderwriting trips Instead their goal is to develop contacts, to identify leads and to increase Oregon's visibility in international trade Nevertheless, these trade mis sions (to the Mideast last spring and to Taiwan and the Republic of Korea in M ay) have produced gratifying results In every country, we met with the highest levels of business and government officials Students to get Irrigon 4-H ’er earns Championship at fair Young cooks from Folk and Mor row Counties claim ed champion ship* Sunday night in the third and final round of 4 H food preparation contests at the 1964 Oregon State Fair in Salem A press release from the state fairgrounds has announced that Shane Kvans of Irrigon took the intermediate championship with his fruit cream cake In the contest. 4 H mem bers may prepare a salad main dish yeast product, pie or baking powder pro duct while judged on their work habits, finished product coat esti mates and preparation skills Susan Flocharsky.
