A lot of people would rather tour sewers than visit their cousins.

I remember when Nelson Mandela made his first visit to Atlanta and came by the center. She made sure that not just the celebrities were able to be in his presence, but she made certain that all staff had a chance to shake hands with and meet him.

I intend to travel to Okinawa and to visit with Okinawa officials and the citizens of Okinawa at an early date. I will send my best analysis of that situation, including the local attitudes, back to Washington, to the government there.
