Yes, the People-to-People program gets a big play at Port
Lyautey, Seven thousand Americans reside here==military personnel
and their dependents.
A generation of Moroccans has grown up knowing and liking them,
for the Navy has been here constantly since the Allied landings in
November, 1942.
Ever since Morocco emerged early in 1956 as an independent
sovereign state, there has been the inevitable cry of "Foreigners,
go home" from one end of the political spectrum. The psychological
appeal of such a rallying cry is hard to combat.
And we combat it in the only way we know how.
By showing them what we are, and how we think, work and act.
By showing them the tangible impact of our contribution to the local
economy, and the intangible advantages of what they have learned and
may still learn from us while we remain here.
The future of the African continent may well depend upon us.
Never have our opportunities and our responsibilities been greater.
