We are honored to participate in the first World Expo of the 21st century and invite people from Japan, Asia and around the world to visit the U.S. Pavilion at the Expo. The U.S. Pavilion theme is "The Franklin Spirit," honoring American statesman, diplomat, entrepreneur, and innovator Benjamin Franklin and showcasing American culture, values, and technological achievements. The United States will be represented at the 2005 World Expo by Commissioner General Lisa Gable, whom President Bush has accorded the personal rank of Ambassador for the duration of the Expo.
