As I travel to many states around the world in the next four years, the most important ones that I will visit are those in the United States of America. My first responsibility as Secretary of State is to keep in touch with Americans throughout our country. I am going to your hometowns and talk to you; when I can't, I am sending other State Department officials to town meetings and radio and TV shows to discuss with you our policies and how foreign affairs is important to your daily lives. Through this web site I aim to reach out to all Americans, from students and teachers to businesspeople and their workers. And I want to know your opinions about the foreign policy of the United States; I've asked the Bureau of Public Affairs to review for me all emails sent to:
           secretary@state.gov

The State Department and I look forward to hearing from you!
