Prime Minister Hun Sen and three US congressmen discussed an extension of trade
relations between the two countries on Thursday, while raising the possibility
of debt reduction.
The congressmen—Eni Faleomavaega, a Democrat from American Samoa; Mike Honda, a
Democratic from California; and Joseph Cao, a Republican from Louisiana—met
with Hun Sen, Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, Finance Minister Keat Chhon and
Commerce Minister Cham Prasidh
“We did touch on the issue of debt obligations, also on questions of trade and
tariffs in trying to bring Cambodia’s trade and economic needs [and] better
status especially in trade with the United States,” Faleomavaega told reporters
at Phnom Penh International Airport Thursday afternoon.
The US delegation is scheduled to travel to Laos, having already visited
Vietnam. The tour will conclude in Japan.
Cambodia owes the US more than $300 million from the Lon Nol period, a debt
Cambodian officials maintain should be erased. Faleomavaega said he told Hun
Sen he would take the matter to discuss with other US lawmakers.
Debt forgiveness could help Cambodia, he said. Faleomavaega said he wanted to
play a role in bettering the relationship between Cambodia and the US.
Eang Sophaleth, an adviser to Hun Sen, told reporters the premier had thanked
the men for continued economic support from the US and was happy to promote a
relationship between the two countries.

Chilly politics: Gore ice sculpture back in Fairbanks

Link: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Two Fairbanks businessmen are still so annoyed
by former Vice President Al Gore's stand on global warming that they have
commissioned another "Frozen Gore" ice sculpture for display in front of a
liquor store. This year's version features Gore blowing smoke -- but only when
a truck exhaust is connected. Businessmen Craig Compeau and Rudy Gavora say
they'll commission the sculpture annually until Gore comes to Fairbanks to
debate climate change. "Before we start carbon taxing ... let's try and educate
ourselves," Compeau said. The Frozen Gore Web site also has pictures of last
year's creation.
ANOTHER FACE OF AMERICA THAT REFLECTS THE TRADITIONAL VALUES SUCH AS THIS.
