  • Bob Krueger-Unedited
    Bob Krueger LBJ Lecture Oct. 1, 2003 UNEDITED LBJ Distinguished Lecture Remarks for President Denise Trauth Student Center Teaching Theater Wednesday, October 1, 2003 7:30 p.m. Good evening, and welcome to our fall 2003 Lyndon B. Johnson Distinguished Lecture. Our speaker tonight comes to us with a particularly timely issue — the foreign intervention policies of our country. It is certainly a subject that consumes the front pages of our major newspapers, fuels the rhetoric of presidential candidates and provides fodder for news talk shows. Some of those doing the talking about this subject are simply grabbing headlines and are marginally acquainted with the deeper issues involved. Robert Krueger, however, has the background to justify his opinions. He has served as a Congressman and a Senator. He has held ambassador positions under two presidents on two continents. He is currently a consultant on international trade issues and government policy. And he is doubly qualified to give his opinion because he started his career as a university faculty member. That was at Duke, when he was 25 years old, and by age 36 he was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He earned his degrees at Southern Methodist, Duke and Oxford. He has returned to teaching occasionally and recently taught a graduate course in public administration here at Texas State. I understand that he will be back in the spring to team teach a course in the Master of Public Administration program with Howard Balanoff. We are delighted to have Dr. Krueger talk to us tonight about “When Should the United States Intervene? A Look at U.S.

    education conservation cooperation Contact: For Immediate Release Christy Muse, Executive Director Hill Country Alliance ([email protected]) www.HillCountryAlliance.org 512.560.3135 Kathleen Krueger: New Hill Country Alliance Board Member Finding ways to improve the world where she lives Austin (March 15, 2011) – Kathleen Krueger, mayor pro-tem, New Braunfels City Council, and new Hill Country Alliance (HCA) board member, is a world traveler. She has lived and worked on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Living in Burundi, Africa, Krueger cared for her children and led volunteer projects while surrounded by warfare and massive genocide. But her roots are in the Hill Country. No matter where she is living, Krueger finds a way to help the people and improve the environment. “I have an innate feeling that you should be helpful to others where ever you are,” Krueger says. “That was behind running for city council; I found myself preoccupied with international issues I couldn’t do anything about, so I decided to be helpful where I am. I have done this anywhere I live.” After graduating from Texas A&M University, Krueger worked as a legislative assistant in the office of U. S. Representative Sam. B. Hall, Jr. Krueger married Bob Krueger, former U. S. Senator and American Ambassador. During the years they lived in Africa, Kathleen was president of the Diplomatic Women’s Association. She also served on the board of an international children’s charity. She worked with Habitat for Humanity to build homes in remote African villages, and led an International Red Cross expedition into the Kalahari Desert to provide clothing for the Bushmen of Botswana.
