USTR Unveils New Web Site
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has spruced up its Internet presence with the launch of a Web site that has a fresh look and a focus on providing more information to the public about the Obama administration's trade policy initiatives. The site features a blog and an interactive map that will track USTR Ron Kirk's global travel as well as pages on geographical areas, trade agreements, and key trade issues with interactive tools to allow for easier public participation. Americans will also have the opportunity to submit their trade questions and trade stories to Kirk through an "Ask the Ambassador" initiative. A social networking component is forthcoming, officials said in a press release. Kirk issued a statement saying one of his goals as USTR is to use technology to connect directly with citizens and the agency's site will help accomplish that while fulfilling the president's commitment to create a transparent, participatory and collaborative government.
