In Korea, members of our party
met with the chairman of the board
of Hyundai,
conglomerate that
accounts for 10 percent of that
nation's gross national product A
representative of the Corvallis-
based engineering firm . 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 visiting Japan
which already is Oregon's leading
international trading partner, and
the 1’i-ople '» Republic of China,
whose sue, population and Indus
trial ambitions give it virtually
limitless trade potential
From this trade mission, loo. I
intend to return with plenty of the
liecf
the results that Oregon
uins have a right to expect
a
J4y (•o> ernor V l( A T T IV K II
"G overnor, where'» the beef'’ ”
That 1» the sort of question
Oregonians ask and should a»k
when they talk to me about results
of my overseas trade missions
The objective of these missions is
to generate increased trade for
Oregon a stale in which one in
seven manufacturing Jobs already
is tied to world trade
On my current Sept 7 27 trade
mission to Japan and the People's
Republic of China. 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
