Dear Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Kellar:

Thank you for introducing me to the 21st Century Schoolhouse project. I am proud Oregon has the opportunity to participate in this exciting and innovative program. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I am especially interested in encouraging Oregon students to interact with students from nations around the world.

I trust this project will be a memorable learning opportunity for the students of South Salem High School. I look forward to hearing from you again as the program progresses and hope you will give my regards to South Salem's international classmates.

Warm regards,

Gordon H. Smith
