Lectureship Examines Role of International Trade

Published: 2007-08-23

TAHLEQUAH The impact of restrictions on trade, such as taxes, tariffs and non-tariff barriers, along with free trade treaties, access to free markets and the role of government in determining economic relationships are just a few of the topics that will be discussed during a special lecture hosted by Northeastern State University.

The Unfolding Role of International Trade to U.S. Economic Well-Being, the second annual Larry Adair Lectureship Series presented by NSU, will examine the impact of free trade versus fair trade on the U.S. economy.

A public forum is set for Thursday, Sept. 6 at 2 p.m. in the auditorium of the Northeastern Education and Technology (NET) Building. Community members with a special interest in political or economic issues are encouraged to attend the event.

The university has assembled an exemplary group of individuals with extensive knowledge on the impact of international trade on the U.S. economy, said Dr. Neal Weaver, vice president for University Relations. Each of these experts brings a unique perspective from their various experiences in dealing with economic and international relations.

James Robert Jones, retired U.S. Congressman from Oklahoma and a former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, will serve as keynote speaker. Panelists include Edwin G. Corr, former U.S. Ambassador to Peru, Bolivia and El Salvador; Dr. Fritz Laux, NSU associate professor of Business Administration; Susan Savage, Oklahoma Secretary of State; and Mark Stansberry, chairman of The GTD Group.

Jones served as a special assistant to U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1965 to 1969, U.S. Congressman for Oklahomas first district from 1973 to 1987, chairman of the American Stock Exchange from 1989 to 1993, and U.S. Ambassador to Mexico from 1993 to 1997. He currently works as an attorney focusing on international trade, investment and commerce, business-government relations and financial services.

Following discussion on the main topic, audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists.

The Larry Adair Lectureship Series was established in 2004 by friends and family of the retiring Oklahoma Speaker of the House to create an annual forum to address issues in politics, government and public policy.
