 Q    Hello, my name is Stephanie from Intelligent Luxury.  My question is, how can U.S. companies increase tourism to Australia and conduct business with Australia's government and businesses?

     White House Senior Administration Officials:  So you know, the U.S.-Australia relationship on the economic side is extraordinarily diverse and robust.  And what we have -- as I mentioned earlier, from a trade standpoint, we have a great surplus in both services and goods.

The President’s trip to Ohio is going to be -- with the Prime Minister -- is going to be highlighting the foreign direct investment side in the United States.  And American companies are already significant investors in Australia.  We have every expectation that it’s going to continue and to grow.  And it's really -- I think one of the highlights of this whole state visit is going to be just the close economic cooperation between us and how we expect that to only continue.
