The Commerce Department has a number of commercial service officers in each of the countries, and they try to match the American companies with Latin American companies. We set up meetings for them, trying to help them find ways to sell their goods. The large companies are more interested in the meetings with government officials, where we can have very frank discussions on the business climate. The officials want to know what obstacles our businesses face. They want to know what reforms may be needed to fix the problems, because it is in their interest to see American companies invest.
