 How Operational and Visible an NSC?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
For some time, foreign governments have looked to the White House, rather than the State Department, as the real locus of power, and the NSC staff (much of it held over from Clinton) has routinely steered foreigners to meet with senior NSC officials.
While secretaries of state can meet with foreign dignitaries, and many others can make an administration's public case, there are some things only the NSC can do.
Above all, the president needs the NSC to manage the foreign policy process, making sure everyone with a stake in the issue has a voice, that all reasonable policy options are presented to the president for his consideration, and that decisions are made in a timely manner and then effectively implemented.

The power to define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations, belongs with equal propriety to the general government, and is a still greater improvement on the articles of Confederation.
The regulation of foreign commerce, having fallen within several views which have been taken of this subject, has been too fully discussed to need additional proofs here of its being properly submitted to the federal administration.
This is not the only case in which the articles of Confederation have inconsiderately endeavored to accomplish impossibilities; to reconcile a partial sovereignty in the Union, with complete sovereignty in the States; to subvert a mathematical axiom, by taking away a part, and letting the whole remain.

Established in 1989 as an inclusive regional discussion forum for common economic interests, the initial APEC meetings were low-key annual networking sessions for national trade and foreign ministers.
The 1996 Manila APEC meeting then produced the initial responses to the action agenda, and proposed a global Information Technology Agreement (ITA) that was later adopted by the World Trade Organization (WTO).
However, it is entirely predictable that trade frictions in information technology, rather than vanishing, will now shift to a new plane: the ability of governments to use investment policy, procurement, standards, subsidized loans, administrative guidance, and other national policy tools to provide preferences for their domestic industries after tariffs are removed.
