We are pleased to participate with so many other nations in the last world exposition of the twentieth century- "The Oceans: A Heritage for the Future." We are especially grateful to the people of Portugal for hosting this exposition. Lisbon is a fitting venue to this Expo on the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama's historic voyage. The oceans are a vital resource for America from commerce, to scientific exploration, to the extraordinary richness of marine life so crucial to biodiversity. The oceans are valued and respected by the people of the United States. Today more then half of all Americans live and work within fifty miles of the coastline. One out of 6 jobs is marine related and one-third of our entire gross domestic product is derived from coastal fishing, transportation, recreation and othe.r i d 1striP.s dependent on healthy waters and marine life. inside the U.S. pavilion you will see many exhibits sponsored by Americas' leading ocean related agencies and educational organizations. Thanks to government and private contributions, we are able to share with you, our visitors, some of the best our country has to offer.

As Commissioner General, and an American deeply proud of my Portuguese heritage, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the United States Exhibition at the 1998 Lisbon World Expo. It is both a privilege and an honor to welcome the international community to our Pavilion, and to offer our respect and appreciation to the people of Portugal for their graciousness in hosting this event.
From Monterey to Miami, America is home to some of the most beautiful and popular beaches in the world. The oceans are also a vital source of energy, food and other natural resources. Last year alone, U.S. consumers ate an average of 15 pounds of seafood per person - much of it provided by Portuguese Americans in New England, California and Hawaii. Moreover, U.S. scientists depend on the oceans for marine organisms to help develop lifesaving medicine, and the oceans also serve as America's global highway, with 98 percent of all U.S. foreign trade passing through our nation's ports.
In short, the oceans play an increasingly important role in the lives of all Americans and all citiz;ens of the world. The oceans truly are "A Heritage for the Future."
The U.S. Pavilion has been designed to celebrate America's commitment to exploring, understanding, and preserving the oceans. As you make your way through the four main Pavilion areas - the Hall of Discovery, Ocean Awareness, Oceans Theatre and finally the Ocean Environment - you will experience the interactive educational exhibits that showcase some of the best and brightest of America's research and technology leaders.
We are extremely fortunate to have the U.S. Navy and the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences as major exhibitors in the pavilion. joined by leading ocean-related agencies and educational organizations. We are equally grateful to our many private sponsors, whose generous support made our participation possible. It is this American public-private partnership that has made the exciting, interactive pavilion you are about to experience a reality.
So, then, on behalf of everyone associated with the U.S. Pavilion here at Expo '98, and especially on behalf of the two-and-a-half million Luso-Americans, welcome, and enjoy your vi it. Message from the United States Ambassador to Portugal
Between May 21 and September 30, 1998, Portugal hosted the last World Exposition of the 20th century, EXPO '98 in Lisbon, dedicated to the theme: "The Oceans - A Heritage for the Future." With one of the most visited and widely-acclaimed of over 160 national pavilions, the United States has taken full advantage of this unique opportunity to reach out to millions of visitors, including foreign leaders and dignitaries, as well as business representatives and tourists from around the world.
The U.S. Pavilion has been a source of great pride for our country, a fact to which all of the visiting Americans -- including several U.S. Congressional delegations, Cabinet Officials, academic experts, and business leaders can personally attest. Consistent with the EXPO theme, the U.S. Pavilion celebrates our national commitment to exploring, understanding and preserving the oceans. Visitors to the pavilion have seen and experienced carefully designed exhibits sponsored by U.S. Ouvc111111c11l ageucies and leading educational organizations that work with the oceans.
Our pnrticipation in EXPO '98 has also cemented our healthy and mutually-beneficial relationship with Portugal. For both Portugal and the United States, our visible presence in Lisbon represents an important commitment to one of our most important transatlantic partnerships. The U.S. Pavilion also features exhibits from three of our coastal states with significant Portuguese-American populations: Massachusetts, California, and Hawaii. The "Wave" sculpture memorial honoring Luso-Americans symbolizes that the ties between the United States and Portugal are centuries-old, predating even U.S. independence.
While simultaneously bringing international recognition to Portugal as a prospering and innovative nation, EXPO '98 has also enabled the United States to showcase its global leadership on ocean-related issues. We can look forward to realizing the benefits of this invaluable international public outreach and a closer relationship with Portugal well into the new millennium.

We are comforted by its rhythms and awed by its power and beauty. Below the tumultuous wave we find a magnificent world containing a diversity of flora and fauna of exquisite grace, color and form. Those who venture in encounter an explosion of life unlike anywhere on land form. We are becoming familiar with this world beneath the waves and with creatures that call it home. And while we marvel at life in the shallow seas and traverse across the mighty oceans, we can not help but imagine what lies deeper below. The sea has always been one of Humankind's greatest challenges. From the dawn of time we venture forth fearlessly into the unknown. Today we are witness to a new age of exploration. One in which technology takes us farther then we've ever gone before. Inside the submarine Alvin we leave the world of sun behind and enter a place of perpetual cold and eternal darkness. The journey takes us to the farthest stretches of our imagination to the world less familiar then the surface of the moon As the Alvin spirals slowly downward it is enveloped by an unexplored ocean realm shrouded in myth and mystery. We descend into a region of near weightlessness, where being invisible means survival. Yet our eyes behold luminous lifeforms in a wondrous symphony of color. Deeper still at the ocean floor, the frontier once thought to be closed for an eternity now unfolds before our eyes. No shipwreck is beyond our reach. Here lies Titanic, a modern day legend. She was thought to be unsinkable. In the darkest places in the ocean, we discover one of the most extraordinary ecosystems of the planet: the magical world of hydrothermal vents. Fueled by volcanic activity, these underseas geysers create a ribbon of life that winds around the Earth. In the most extreme environment of our planet. Water temperatures up to 400 degrees centigrade. Poisonous fluids that will kill life above. Here, in a place without the sun's energy, where we were sure no life could flourish we find a density and diversity of life forms, that in places seems to rival the tropical rainforests. Remarkably, these newly discovered communities are dependent on chemical energy created deep within planet Earth. It is one of the most significant discoveries of humankind. The discovery of these deep-sea communities has revolutionized the way we think of life on our planet. So far we have spent little time exploring here. Many questions remain unanswered but the thirst for discovery is as old as humanity itself. By looking deep within our planet, we are beginning to better understand the story of life on Earth and the possibility of life on other planets.

G enera/ Management The organizational structure of the U.S. Pavilion staff included three tiers. The first tier was General Staff and Host-Scholars or Guides. Pavilion Volunteers were also in this category. General Staff meetings were held daily at 19:00 hours. The Guide Team Leader attended General Staff meetings and was responsible for coordinating Guide assignments throughout the Pavilion as well as VIP tour staff. The Pavilion Director, or designate, managed the Guides. The second tier was Senior Staff. Each Department was represented by at least one Senior Staff member. Senior Staff met daily Deputy Commissioner General Deputy Commissioner General at 10:00 hours. Senior Staff meetings were Mark Johnson Fred Hatfield conducted by the Pavilion Director. The third tier was Management Staff. This group, selected by the Commissioner General, worked directly with the Pavilion Director and assisted in policy decisions. Management Staff met every other day to review issues of a more sensitive nature regarding planning. budget and personnel. The management structure of the U.S. Pavilion was hierarchical in order to provide clear accountability for each department. The style, however, demanded a high level of teamwork. At each level, personnel were required to coordinate closely both within their department and inter-departmentally.
