4 months ago by funksoup Thx to @RepGraceMeng for helping us #StandForFulbright & to her Legislative Asst Donna Iken for convo on moving fwd in these times of ‘Defense first’ thought. As Senator Fulbright once said, “To continue to build more weapons, especially more exotic and unpredictable machines of war, will not build trust and confidence. The most sensible way to do that is to engage the parties in joint ventures for mutually constructive and beneficial purposes, such as trade, medical research, and development of cheaper energy sources...To this purpose the #Fulbright program is dedicated."
