                        JOINT RESOLUTION
  Whereas today's global economy provides both benefits and
challenges to Oregon; and
  Whereas international trade is a dominant part of the Oregon
economy and provides important markets for many Oregon
businesses; and
  Whereas this state's growing educational and cultural diversity
means that we are increasingly aware of our global partners; and
  Whereas ambassadors who represent Oregon in foreign markets
would assist the International Trade Commission and the Economic
and Community Development Department in important duties; and
  Whereas designating ambassadors for Oregon who would visit
foreign markets and receive representatives of foreign markets
would enhance Oregon's presence in the global community and
benefit the state's economy and people; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
  That we, the members of the Seventy-fourth Legislative
Assembly, encourage the Governor to designate state ambassadors
to represent Oregon in foreign markets and to visit foreign
markets and receive representatives from those markets; and be it
further
  Resolved, That we encourage the Governor, from funds available
to the Governor, to reimburse the state ambassadors for actual
and necessary expenses, including travel expenses, incurred in
the performance of the ambassadors' official duties for the
state.
