St., San Francisco Peace, Jobs and Justice But the reality is quite different. National union presidents have more than enough to worry about on the domestic scene.

Their books, their records have been largely secret over the years. Just four weeks ago, for instance, they published their budget for the first time.

Let me suggest, in an echo of what Emil Mazey said 30 years ago, that we need a new foreign policy for labor. One that puts the interest of common citizens ahead of the State Department. One that allows workers in other countries to gain the self-determination that we demand for ourselves.

I say we have to change this foreign policy of ours. We have to stop measuring our foreign policy as to whether it is good for American business, which has investments in South America and elsewhere in the world.
