Travel and the Secretary of State


In my view, the Secretary of State, should not, as a general rule, go abroad on a serious negotiation unless the odds are heavily in his favor....A Secretary of State who undertakes too many journeys that lead nowhere depreciates his coin.
--Henry Kissinger; cited in J. Robert Moskin, American Statecraft: The Story of the U.S. Foreign Service, p. 653
