		Former Kansas Senators Nancy Landon Kassebaum Baker and Bob Dole are friends whom I greatly admire and look to as role models in the U.S. Senate.
		Landon understood the complexity of America's role in a dynamic world, evidenced by his 1966 inaugural speech in this lecture series, "New Challenges in International Relations." He represents the finest tradition of American public service that we have come to expect from Kansas and its elected representatives.
		I would like to thank President Wefald and the students, faculty and alumni of Kansas State University for this invitation to speak to you today as part of the Alfred M. Landon Lecture Series.
