2003-2004 Joint Government Directory "A Vital Partnership" The U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce Chamber is currently preparing what we think will serve as a useful source for reference in both of our countries. The publication, entitled 2003-2004 Joint Government Directories: A Vital Partnership", is designed to assist private business and government officials who need to contact, or know more about, Congressmen and Cabinet members in either capital, Washington, D.C. or Mexico City. The Directory will be distributed to our Chamber members as well as to members of the Congresses of both the United States and Mexico and will include: Current member photos, room locations, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses; Key congressional staff; Biographical data for each member in either Congress; District office information; Complete committee and subcommittee listings with room locations, phone and fax numbers, e-mail and Web addresses; Alphabetized indices, tips on writing or visiting a member, and information on how a bill becomes a law; and Information on the White House, Los Pinos, as well as the Cabinets, Supreme Courts, State Governors and selected agencies for both countries. We believe this is a good way for your company to encourage mutually beneficial relations between our two countries. As a Sponsor contributing towards the development of this publication (valued at $10,000), you will receive copies of the Directory for your use and distribution as deemed appropriate. You will also have the option to display the company s advertisement inside and logo outside on the back cover. Your copies of the Directory will thus provide a useful source of information for key personnel, suppliers and clients, while at the same time adding an extra promotional element to your marketing strategy.
