Donald L. Evans is the 34th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the voice of business in government.
Secretary Evans is a core member of President Bush's economic team, advising the President on many issues,
including pro-growth and job-creating economic policies, international trade, business concerns, and energy policy.
He oversees a diverse Cabinet agency with some 40,000 workers and a $5.8 billion budget focused on promoting
American business, both at home and abroad. His Department gathers vast quantities of economic and demographic
data, issues patents and trademarks, helps set technical standards, forecasts the weather, conducts oceans and coastal
zone research, manages marine fisheries and sanctuaries, enforces international trade laws, and develops
telecommunications and technology policy.
A former businessman in the oil and gas industry, Secretary Evans strongly believes in the free enterprise system,
corporate accountability, and corporate stewardship. He sees his main mission in government as working to create a
climate for U.S. and world economic growth. "President Bush and I share the belief that governments don.t create
wealth and prosperity: people do. It is government.s role to create the right conditions in which America's workers and
businesses will flourish," Evans says.
International trade is at the top of Secretary Evans. agenda. He is confident that given a level playing field, U.S.
businesses and workers can compete with anybody in the world. Like President Bush, he believes in an aggressive,
pro-active trade policy. Under his leadership, the Department devotes significant resources to fighting unfair trade
practices that harm U.S. companies and enforcing compliance with international trade agreements.
At the direction of the President, Secretary Evans recently launched a government-wide Manufacturing Initiative. This is
a major effort based on some 50 recommendations by industry to make manufacturers more competitive in world
markets. Many of the recommendations are being put into effect, including: a new President.s Manufacturing Council; a
new Commerce assistant secretary for manufacturing; a get-tough Unfair Trade Practices Task Force; a tax
simplification study by the Treasury Department; and a comprehensive regulatory review by the President.s Office of
Management and Budget.
Secretary Evans worked closely with Congress to secure Trade Promotion Authority, which gives President Bush power
to negotiate new trade agreements that ensure America's leadership in global markets. Since then, free-trade deals
have been concluded with Morocco, Australia and five countries in Central America. Secretary Evans has visited 26
countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan, to promote American exports, open foreign markets and secure a more
peaceful and prosperous world. He has led trade missions to Russia, China, Mexico, and several African and South
American countries.
Maintaining U.S. leadership in high-tech industries also is a focal point for Secretary Evans. He is directing efforts to
redefine government.s role in research in order to spur the development of more cutting-edge technologies; to promote
the expansion of E-commerce and telecommunications with as little government intervention as possible; and to
improve the Department.s economic data collection and distribution capabilities.
Secretary Evans equally accords high priority to the Commerce Department role as steward of the nation.s marine
resources and center for atmospheric research and forecasting. Under his direction, the Department is focused on
improving and streamlining the nation's marine fisheries management system in order to meet conservation,
commercial, and recreational objectives. The Department also is implementing the Administration's Climate Change
Research Initiative, a massive research program aimed at improving our understanding of climate systems and
developing analytical support for policy and management decisions benefiting safety and quality of life.
Secretary Evans was sworn into office on January 20, 2001. Born in Houston, Texas, in 1946, he attended the
University of Texas at Austin, receiving a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1969 and an M.B.A. in 1973. He
was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the Omicron Delta Kappa honorary fraternity. During school breaks, he
worked in a Texas steel mill.
In 1975, Secretary Evans moved to Midland, Texas, from Houston and began his career as a "roughneck" working on oil
rigs for Tom Brown, Inc, a large independent energy company. Ten years later, he took the helm of the company as
CEO, continuing in that position until being tapped by the President to lead the Commerce Department.

Former Kellogg chief sworn in as new Commerce

secretary
SECTION: Washington Dateline
LENGTH: 128 words
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
Carlos Gutierrez, the former chief executive of cereal giant Kellogg, was
sworn in Monday as the nation's 35th commerce secretary.
On his first day on the job, Gutierrez spoke to employees at Commerce

Department headquarters, pledging to build on the record of President Bush's
first commerce chief, Donald Evans, who resigned to return to Texas.
"Through our efforts to open markets, we can work together with other
departments and Congress to strengthen America's economy," Gutierrez said in
brief remarks.
Gutierrez, one of two Hispanics in Bush's second-term Cabinet, has the job of
bolstering the fortunes of U.S. manufacturers, a sector that lost 2.7 million
jobs over the past four years as the country's trade deficit soared to record
levels.

The Nation;
Texas Has Big Plans for Bush Presidential Library;
It's early in the second term, but a team is already looking for a site. Several cities
and universities throw their hats in the ring.
BYLINE: Warren Vieth and Edwin Chen, Times Staff Writers
SECTION: MAIN NEWS; National Desk; Part A; Pg. 15
LENGTH: 1250 words
DATELINE: WACO, Texas
President Bush's aides contend that he hasn't thought much about what he will do when he leaves office in January 2009. But
there are indications that plans are underway.
Bush has named a close friend, former Commerce Secretary Don Evans, to head the search for the location of his presidential
library. Evans said he was being assisted by one of the president's brothers, Marvin Bush, and by Craig R. Stapleton, the husband
of a Bush cousin and the nominee to be ambassador to France.
And in comments to the Los Angeles Times, Bush said that his return to private life probably would include work with Texas
faith-based organizations that performed social services. He did not elaborate.
Bush will be 62 when his second term ends. The youngest former president was Theodore Roosevelt, who was 50 when he
left the White House.
"He's going to be a very young man," said Evans, adding that he had not heard Bush talk about an intent to work with
faith-based groups. "He will continue to serve his fellow man in some capacity. He's driven by serving others."
At the White House, officials declined to offer more details on Bush's plans.
"The president is focused on his agenda and the big priorities for the nation," spokesman Scott McClellan said. "He has not
put any serious thought into what he may do four years from now.... He was simply speculating about something he might like to
be involved with."
It was at the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents' Assn. in April that Bush said, without hesitation, that he
probably would work with faith-based groups and concentrate on establishing his presidential library.
The comments offered the first glimpses of Bush's thinking about his life after he leaves office.
Evans said the library search committee had not set a target date for soliciting proposals from institutions that wanted to house
the library.
But competition is underway.
Southern Methodist University in Dallas -- First Lady Laura Bush's alma mater -- is perceived as the front-runner.
1 of 3 7/17/2008 4:22 PM
But Baylor University has purchased more than 100 acres on the banks of the Brazos River near downtown Waco as a
potential site for what might be a $100-million-plus library and museum complex. The Bushes' Texas home is in nearby Crawford.
Others parties declaring an interest include Texas A&M University in College Station, where Bush's father placed his library;
the University of Texas at Austin, site of the Lyndon B. Johnson library; Texas Tech University in Lubbock; and the cities of
Midland, where Bush grew up, and Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers -- the Major League Baseball team where Bush was a
managing partner in the early 1990s.
Presidential libraries can be a significant prize for a community, driving tourism and economic growth and drawing an array
of political and cultural figures.
Officials at the first President Bush's library, the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M, estimate that
the institution creates $10 million in economic activity each year. That includes spending on meals and hotel rooms by visitors, as
well as the museum's spending on salaries, security and materials for exhibits. About 138,000 people visited the museum last year.
"Whenever you have that many people going into a community, even when it is on a day visit, they are leaving money in the
economy. So it's quite incredible," said Barry Biggar of the Bryan-College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau.
He said residents had benefited from seminars, lectures and cultural events at the library and museum.
In Texas, political handicappers have placed their bets on Southern Methodist University. Laura Bush not only received her
undergraduate degree there, but also serves on the school's board of trustees. The Bushes are Methodists, and the university is in
Dallas, where the president and first lady are expected to buy a home after they leave Washington.
An official said the school was taking nothing for granted in the competition.
"Everyone thinks SMU has an edge, but we haven't heard that from anybody that counts," said Tom Barry, the vice president
for executive affairs and leader of the school's presidential library project.
Barry said the 10,900-student university began developing its library proposal shortly after Bush's inauguration in 2001. It has
drafted a detailed plan and is ready to submit it as soon as the White House invites it to do so.
Laura Bush has no involvement in the project, said Barry, who declined to discuss whether the school's proposal contained
any elements that dovetailed with the president's interest in faith-based programs.
"We've had a low profile in this whole process," Barry said. "That's the way we want to keep it."
Baylor has some assets it hopes will catch the president's eye. Among them is the Center for Religious Inquiry Across the
Disciplines, a think tank created last year to study the effect of religion in American life.
The center's director, sociologist Byron Johnson, has specialized in assessing the effectiveness of using faith-based
organizations to confront social problems, such as crime and delinquency. In one study, he found that convicts who attended
regular classes on Bible study were half as likely as other inmates to be incarcerated again within three years of release.
Bush has long spoken of the power of faith to transform lives, and he has supported religious groups that provide social
services. One hallmark of his presidency has been his faith-based initiative, which has directed federal money to religious
organizations that Bush contends are more effective than government in providing counseling, education, drug treatment and other
services.
Some critics have said the faith-based initiative is a political tool aimed at wooing pastors and religious voters to the
Republican Party.
Most Democratic lawmakers say they support the concept of the initiative, but have opposed some elements -- including a
provision that would have permitted faith-based groups that accept federal funds to hire staff based on the applicants' religious
beliefs.
Because of such concerns in Congress, Bush has put much of his program in place through executive order.
"Faith changes lives. I know, because faith has changed mine," Bush wrote in "A Charge to Keep," his 1999 autobiography.
In the book, Bush described how he drank too much in his 30s but quit shortly after his 40th birthday as part of a profound
personal transformation.
2 of 3 7/17/2008 4:22 PM
Baylor, a 12,700-student university founded by Baptists in 1845, launched its library recruitment drive in late 2000, shortly
before Bush took the presidential oath of office.
The university has drafted a 110-page proposal for submission to the White House whenever the call goes out, said Tommye
Lou Davis, who chairs the school's presidential library project.
In the meantime, it has enlisted the support of the city of Waco, the mayors of 400 Texas communities and the university's
alumni network, including graduates who work in the Bush administration.
Baylor held the President's Economic Forum in 2002 and Bush's summit with Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian
Prime Minister Paul Martin this year.
But Bush chose SMU as the site of the final rally of his 2004 election campaign, and Davis acknowledges the Dallas school is
the team to beat.
"We feel like we have to work harder because we're the underdog," she said. "We just hope that when they look at our
proposal, they'll feel like Baylor is maybe a better fit."
Vieth reported from Waco and Chen from Washington.

CENTRAL EDITION
SMU seals Bush center University, foundation confirm legacy site after lengthy
pursuit
BYLINE: PAUL MEYER, Staff Writer pmeyer@dallasnews.com
SECTION: METRO; Pg. 1B
LENGTH: 1101 words
Southern Methodist University's seven-year pursuit of George W. Bush's presidential legacy ended Friday with the
announcement that his library and public policy institute are coming to the campus.
University trustees unanimously approved a resolution directing SMU President Gerald Turner to enter into agreements that
will bring the nation's 13th presidential library to a site north of downtown Dallas.
"How fitting is it that this storied political life that began here in Texas will write its final chapters right here in the good old
Lone Star state and right here on this campus," said Don Evans, former commerce secretary and chairman of the George W. Bush
Presidential Library Foundation. "Now the work begins to plan and build the site."
For SMU, the prize immediately raises the school's prestige and national stature, even as some Methodists, alumni and faculty
members have criticized the university's pursuit - primarily out of concern about the potential for a partisan institute on campus.
Dr. Turner assured that academic freedom will be maintained.
"If on any occasion it falls short of that, I trust our faculty to point that out," he said Friday.
The policy center will be independent from the university, governed by a board of directors elected annually that includes
university representation.
For Mr. Bush, the agreements will bring his library back to the place where first lady Laura Bush earned her bachelor's degree
and near where the two are expected to make their home. Ms. Bush also is an SMU trustee, but she did not participate in library
deliberations.
Mr. Evans said he hopes to break ground on the complex in 2009, with construction completed within five years. The lease
includes land on the corner of SMU Boulevard and North Central Expressway, with about 11.5 acres south of the boulevard,
currently occupied by apartments, and 4 acres to the north.
Mr. Evans said the foundation has yet to set a fundraising goal, but he said the cost would be in line with that of other modern
presidential libraries. The first President Bush's complex at Texas A&M University cost about $80 million. The Clinton library cost
$165 million.
Lengthy courtship
Friday's agreement culminated a sometimes furtive and contentious courtship that featured wealthy power brokers and old
friends alongside rancorous dissent from some Methodists, faculty and affected residents.
1 of 3 7/23/2008 11:20 AM
The flirtation began just months after President Bush took office, when Dallas oilman Ray Hunt visited the White House and
made a pitch for the library after a dinner. Months later, Mr. Hunt and Dr. Turner met at the president's Crawford ranch to play up
SMU's advantages.
In 2005, a library selection committee invited SMU and other schools to submit bids. More than a year later, SMU was
chosen over two other finalists - Baylor University and the University of Dallas.
"It took us 71 days to find a football coach, so we don't like to rush into things," Dr. Turner quipped Friday.
The years, however, have not been without controversy, including a legal fight that still surrounds the school's acquisition and
eventual demolition of a condominium complex called University Gardens.
A lawsuit, filed in 2005 by two former condo owners, alleges that SMU bullied them into selling at a discount to make way
for the library. That case is set for trial in October. But library officials said they're confident they can build on land not including
the University Gardens site.
In addition to the lawsuit, some Methodists opposed to the project have talked of possible legal action to challenge the lease
agreement.
"We feel that we ... got the necessary and sufficient approval to go forward with the lease," Dr. Turner said Friday.
A regional council of the United Methodist Church gave SMU permission in March to lease part of the campus for the library.
SMU later received a letter from the church's South Central Jurisdiction College of Bishops affirming the right to lease the land.
Bishop Scott Jones, president of the jurisdiction's College of Bishops and an SMU trustee, said Friday that he expects regional
Methodist delegates to embrace the agreements as presented.
"Once they are properly informed, they'll support this wholeheartedly," he said.
'A very big deal'
In a letter read to SMU trustees Friday, Mr. Bush wrote: "I look forward to the day when both the general public and scholars
come and explore the important and challenging issues our nation has faced during my presidency - from economic and homeland
security to fighting terrorism and promoting freedom and democracy."
Rhonda Blair, former president of the SMU faculty senate, said she remains deeply opposed to the Bush administration but
recognizes the value of the library and trusts Dr. Turner to ensure academic freedom.
"President Turner is a man of his word, always," she said Friday.
History professor and faculty senator Benjamin Johnson said he's eager to read the agreement - expected to be available
Monday - but said the real, long-term effects will be known only once the library is built.
One major concern shared by Dr. Johnson and other historians, at SMU and nationally, is a 2001 presidential order that allows
current and ex-presidents - starting with Ronald Reagan - and their heirs to keep White House records sealed indefinitely, without
giving a reason.
"As long as that order stands, this library can never become a legitimate research institution," Dr. Johnson said.
But Mr. Evans, the library foundation chairman, said the complex will provide a window into a critical period in America.
"This is a big deal. A very big deal," Mr. Evans said. "We are at a defining moment in our history ... and this is a historic
moment."
Staff writer Holly K. Hacker contributed to this report.
FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
Library foundation leaders named an eight-member organizing committee Friday that will help guide the direction of
fundraising efforts. The committee is comprised of:
2 of 3 7/23/2008 11:20 AM
-Don Evans, chairman of the George W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation
-Mark Langdale, president of the library foundation and former ambassador to Costa Rica

LENGTH: 1487 words
DATELINE: WASHINGTON May 3, 2005
The Financial Services Forum today announced that former United States Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans will join the
group as chief executive officer and lead its executive membership in promoting global competitiveness and robust capital markets.
"Don Evans brings to the Financial

Services Forum a keen understanding of both the policy process and the benefits of strong, liquid capital markets," said Henry
Paulson, chairman of the Forum and chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. "All of our members look forward to his leadership in
addressing the broad challenges and opportunities confronting financial markets, economies and policy makers."
Evans will interact closely with the CEOs of the largest financial institutions in the world, representing a broad cross-section
of diversified financial services.
"In this fast-paced environment of the new global marketplace, leaders in the financial services industry have an opportunity
to participate in the dialogue and events that shape global economic growth," said Evans. "Today I have the opportunity and
privilege to bring to this unique organization a vision that will allow our citizens to participate in vibrant and competitive markets,
whether they be on a local or global level. This is also a great opportunity to begin a broader based education effort to show the
importance of how capital markets can increase prosperity, improve the standard of living, and create jobs and opportunities in the

Evans was a core member of President Bush's economic team, advising the president on many issues, including pro-growth and
job-creating economic policies, international trade, business concerns, and energy policy.
He oversaw a diverse cabinet agency with some 40,000 workers and a $5.8 billion budget focused on promoting American
business, both at home and abroad. His department gathers vast quantities of economic and demographic data, issues patents and
trademarks, helps set technical standards, forecasts the weather, conducts oceans and coastal zone research, manages marine
fisheries and sanctuaries, enforces international trade laws, and develops telecommunications and technology policy.
Born in Houston, Texas, in 1946, he attended the University of Texas at Austin, receiving a B.S. degree in mechanical

GOP Senators Huddle on Foreign Competition

BYLINE: Paul Bedard
SECTION: NATION & WORLD; Politics
LENGTH: 228 words
Five Republican senators, a key Treasury official, and Financial Services Forum President Don Evans today huddled in
New York to discuss the competitiveness of capital markets and jobs.
The roundtable discussion was aimed at discussing ways to lessen overseas competition for U.S. jobs and markets and also to
address regulations that have prompted some public firms to take their initial public offerings to foreign exchanges. To demonstrate
the concern of the lawmakers and Wall Street about IPOs fleeing overseas to stock exchanges like London's, three of the five
senators--Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, Jim DeMint of South Carolina, and Mike Crapo of Idaho--opened the Nasdaq, and then
with Sens. Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Robert Bennett of Utah, toured the morning business shows.
They later went to Federal Hall to discuss competition with round-table participants like Evans, Treasury Under Secretary for
Domestic Finance Robert Steel, Columbia Business School Dean Glenn Hubbard, Mark Lackritz, who is president of the Security
Industries and Financial Markets Association, and former Sen. Don Nickles.
"It's not just about dealing with job losses overseas," said an organizer. "We are also starting to lose out IPOs, and we need to
look at that issue." Another said that the roundtable was expected to lead to recommendations for capital market competitiveness.

Top financial services companies favor tax reductions for US workers

LENGTH: 374 words
WASHINGTON (Thomson Financial) - Top financial services companies today said they favor a significant tax cut for lower
income taxpayers, as part of a broader plan to help US workers compete in the global economy.
A study released by the Financial Services Forum recommended that taxes used to support Social Security and Medicare, or
FICA taxes, should be reduced for lower income workers. The study said FICA taxes unfairly hit average workers, since they take
15.3 pct of all income earned under 97,500 usd, while other forms of income are not subject to the tax.
'We think there is real virtue in seeing FICA as simply a tax that is capable of being restructured to leave more of the average
worker's hard-earned income in their pockets,' the study said. The Financial Services Forum lists top banks and insurance companies
as members.
The group also recommended allowing workers to deduct costs associated with education and training, and merging
unemployment insurance with the current trade adjustment assistance program, which offers benefits to workers who lose their jobs
through trade.
It also said Congress should create a federal insurance program that allows communities affected by global competition to
insure their local tax base. Labor groups and others who are less inclined to support expanded trade have argued that trade is forcing
companies to close and eroding the tax base that is used to support schools and other local infrastructure.
Former Bush administration Commerce official Grant Aldonas, a co-author of the study, acknowledged today that these
recommendations together would likely require tax increases in other areas, but did not offer any recommendations. He and
Financial Services Forum CEO Don Evans
said they have begun shopping their proposals in Congress and the Bush administration.
More broadly, the report said the US should continue to expand trade, and renew the administration's trade negotiating
authority that expires this year.

As China Opens, U.S. Lobbyists Get Ready to Move In

BYLINE: Ariana Eunjung Cha; Washington Post Foreign Service
SECTION: FINANCIAL; Pg. D01
LENGTH: 1407 words
DATELINE: BEIJING
It's almost 8 a.m., and former U.S. commerce secretary Donald L. Evans and his team are standing in front of the St. Regis
Hotel, preparing for their day of meetings with Chinese finance officials.
Small but meaningful gifts in Tiffany's signature baby-blue boxes? Check. Briefing books with the pronunciation of
everyone's names? Check. Black Audi A6s to whisk the group to the meetings? Check.
Evans was in town representing the Financial Services Forum, which is made up of chief executives of 20 multinational
banks. His goal was to convince Chinese regulators that opening their financial sector to more foreign investment would be good
for China's economy.
Armies of lobbyists are descending on the Chinese capital in anticipation of the 17th Communist Party Congress beginning in
mid-October. The gathering will choose a new generation of leaders, setting the political agenda for the next five years.
But the dark-suited Western lobbyists are an odd spectacle given that in China, policy and legislative decisions are still made
behind closed doors. Lobbying exists in a gray area; because there are no laws specifically pertaining to it, it isn't even supposed to
exist.
Nevertheless, some of Washington's marquee lobbying firms -- including Jones Day, Hogan & Hartson, DLA Piper and Akin
Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld -- have set up offices in China. Officially, they are just investment advisory and communications
firms. Chinese companies mostly work through government-affiliated industry associations, although some have also hired
Western-style lobbying firms.
In June, foreign companies successfully lobbied Chinese officials to remove conditions on hiring temporary workers in a new
labor law that they said would make it prohibitively expensive to do business in China. Likewise in August, they were able
persuade China to remove some language in early drafts of the anti-monopoly law that seemed to discriminate against foreign
companies, according to Chinese and foreign academics.
The Chinese government has said it took input from domestic and foreign interests into account but has not been specific.
Foreign companies are interested in what happens in China, as its economy is becoming the world's third-largest as well as a
capitalist instead of planned one. There's concern that the legal framework for business that China's legislators are writing today
could affect the fate of multinational businesses for decades.
Evans said that the degree to which Chinese officials are interested in hearing foreign perspectives on business issues has
1 of 3 7/16/2008 12:20 PM
increased dramatically. In the past, he said, he would go into government meetings and recite a set of bullet points, and the meeting
would end. These days, he said, there's real discussion and debate.
"They are very proactive in wanting to engage and share with the business community," Evans said.
Scott Kennedy, director of the Research Center for Chinese Politics and Business at Indiana University and author of "The
Business of Lobbying in China," said that as recently as a few years ago foreign companies would grumble that they heard about
new policies only after they were announced.
"That is increasingly no longer the case. Today, even if they don't agree with the final result, they know it's on the horizon,"
Kennedy said.
But China's laws have been slow to respond to the influx of lobbyists seeking to take advantage of the closer ties. Zhao Kejin,
an associate professor at Shanghai's Fudan University who studies government-business relations and has written a book on
lobbying in China, argues that because lobbyists do not need to register or file disclosure forms, the system is vulnerable to abuse.
"There is lots of lobbying money flowing to individual officials' pockets," Zhao said. In addition to straight-up bribery, some
lobbying firms keep friends of high-placed officials on the payroll or pay for officials to take luxury "training" trips abroad.
In 2004, Lucent Technologies fired four executives who were part of its Chinese operations for violating the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribing foreign government officials and politicians. Last November, a U.S. software
maker, Fidelity National Information Services, was accused of paying for luxury vacations for Chinese banking officials and their
families in places such as Rome and Las Vegas. Fidelity has denied the charges.
Lobbying is not only less of an institution in China than it is in the United States, but the people being lobbied are different.
For instance, Murray King, head of the Shanghai office of APCO Worldwide, one of the oldest government relations firms
operating in China, said that Chinese academics are among the key players that companies should reach out to. The most important
members of that group are those who work with the think tanks affiliated with various state ministries, because they play an
important role in the drafting of legislation.
Another crucial part of high-profile lobbying efforts are "guanxi brokers," well-connected individuals who can give
introductions to important officials, or "rainmakers," people who are so famous that many Chinese officials might be happy to meet
and shake hands.
"Because China is a country that respects authority, former politicians of the United States, when they come to China, can
always play a very important role," said Steven Dong, a Tsinghua University public relations professor who studies the reputations
of corporations.
A former U.S. official will almost always be greeted by a Chinese official of the same rank, Dong said.
Former officials with star power in China include Henry Kissinger, probably the most sought-after because of the role he
played in establishing diplomatic relations with the Communist Party during the Nixon administration. Former Federal
Communications Commission chairman Reed Hundt, who routinely visits China on behalf of Silicon Valley companies to talk
about opening up China's Internet and telecommunications sector, is also a regular in the halls of Chinese ministries. Gary Locke, a
former governor of Washington whose consulting firm represents Microsoft and Starbucks, is celebrated for being the first Chinese
American governor and is so well known that school girls run up to him to take his picture.
Evans, who was commerce secretary from 2001 to 2004, has been working for the Financial Services Forum since 2005. This
was his second trip to China on behalf of the group.
Evans was received by the Chinese government this month with all the pomp and circumstance of a state visit.
His schedule, which included all key financial ministries and regulators, was almost identical to that of Treasury Secretary
Henry M. Paulson Jr. during his visit in July. Evans even had a private diner with Vice Premier Wu Yi.
There was lobbying on both sides.
Jiang Jianqing, chairman of the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, a rank similar to that of minister,
pummeled Evans with questions about the subprime lending crisis and trade protectionism in Congress. ICBC has recently been
ranked the second- or third-largest bank in the world by market capitalization.
2 of 3 7/16/2008 12:20 PM
Evans said the Chinese must make sure that U.S. legislators understand they are open to foreign investment. He said it's
important for the Chinese to make sure the U.S. government understands "your view as an important trader, to make sure they
understand your commitment to moving your economy toward an ultimate market economy."
The total foreign ownership in a Chinese bank cannot exceed 25 percent. But even as Evans began to lay out his case for why
China should raise or do away with foreign ownership caps for banking, securities and insurance firms, Jiang took the opportunity
to point out his frustration that his bank's application to open a single branch in the United States has not been approved, while U.S.
banks, including some that Evans represents, already have significant operations in China.
Evans said he'd be happy to look into the holdup.
Near the end of the one-hour meeting, the two turned to a less-tense topic: the development of China's countryside. Evans
talked about his visits to western China, where he met two blind brothers with whom he has kept in touch, and how much their
lives had changed over the years. Jiang said he, too, was concerned about bridging the gap between the rich and the poor in China.
The two men smiled and shook hands. That was considered progress.
