Baldrige Joe M. Rodgers Secretary of Commerce Commissioner General of the United States Section IV The United States Commissioner General ofSection U. S. Departm ent of Commerce The Honorable Malcolm Baldrige Secretary of Commerce U.S. Department of Commerce Washington, D.C. 20230 Dear Mr. Secretary: It is with pleasure that I submit herewith the Final Report of the United States Pavilion at the 1982 Knoxville International Energy Exposition for your personal benefit and for forwarding to the President and to the Congress. The United States Pavilion was the highlight of the 1982 World's Fair and was well worth the effort put forth. The image of the United States as a leader in technology was portrayed, but most importantly our ~taff and the facility played the outstanding role as leader in the promotion of good will among nations. I am convinced that many people from around the world feel much closer to the United States because of the untiring effort of the U.S. Pavilion staff in making our foreign visitors feel welcome. This dedicated group of mostly non-career government employees, in particular Al Beach, performed in an outstanding manner to accomplish a very difficult assignment. I cannot speak highly enough of their contribution to the success of the U.S. Pavilion. The report will show that when this Administration came into office the overwhelming odds were against the success of the Knoxville International Energy Exposition and, to some degree, the United States Pavilion. Both the Fair and the Pavilion were a great success because of the tremendous assistance given by you and the entire staff of the Department of Commerce, and, in particular, Bill Morris, George Pratt, Lyle Ryter, and Ron Eberhardt. Also invaluable were the roles played by Senator Howard Baker, Ambassador William Brock, former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, and former Secretary of Energy James Edwards and his staff. Of course, the President himself and many on the White House staff were unstinting in their support. I cannot overly stress the foregoing. I was honored to be selected to serve as the Commissioner General of the United States Section at this international event, and I appreciate the opportunity to serve my country.

By Luke Aaron Arnold APPROVED: ______________________________________ Dr. Jessica Hejny, Thesis Co-Director Professor, Political Science and International Relations ______________________________________ Mr. James Syler, Thesis Co-Director Professor, Political Science and International Relations ______________________________________ Dr. Ennio Piano, Thesis Committee Chair Professor, Economic and Finance ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Jessica Hejny. When I had too many questions and was unsure of a path forward, you worked with me, helping me sort through ideas and strategies. Without your support, I would still be lost, and this would not have been possible. I also had the great pleasure of learning from long-time political strategist Kent Syler. A person can look at newspaper articles all day. However, the value of having an experienced political veteran review for inaccuracies cannot be understated when trying to ensuring an accurate account of the historical-political landscape. Thank you for always providing your perspective. Special thanks to Dr. Sekou Franklin, Chris Sanders, and Adam Haynes, who all helped provide valuable information and insight into the often-unaddressed factors that helped fill in the greater picture of Tennessee politics. You all have extensive political experience, so I thank you for providing much-needed perspective and guidance.

One other major historical use occured during the Civil War when the buildings were used as a hospital by both the Confederate and Union Armies. As an architectural complex, the initial building group is one of the few surviving major Greek Revival structures in East Tennessee and the only one in Knoxville. It is an excellent example of Provincial Greek Revival style to which has been added a variety of excellent late 19th Century building units, all carefully organized to create a strong visual harmony in terms of style, planning, massing, material and arrangement. Equally important is the siting of this complex high on a green, wooded knoll, an idyllic site well-suited to the philosophical implications of the Greek Revival Style.
