    President Bush will be accompanied by an unprecedented number of Senior Administration officials including Vice President, Dick Cheney, Secretary of State, Colin Powell, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Trade Representative Bob Zoellick, Secretary of Agriculture, Ann M. Veneman, Secretary of Energy, Spencer Abraham, Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta, Secretary of Treasury, John Snow, Secretary of Commerce, Don Evans, Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, and Chief of Staff, Andrew H.

Even though relations have recently gone through a period of strain, both sides are firmly committed to demonstrating that the EU and the US have a relationship that works and produces concrete results with direct positive effects for our citizens, and also jointly take up global and regional challenges.
