The President attended a luncheon with Sec. Condoleezza Rice and other Stanford faculty members, focusing on regional and global security, Latvia's foreign policy, and US-Latvia relations.

The President emphasized the importance of strong bilateral relations between Latvia and the U.S., and Stanford's role in supporting Latvian and Baltic studies.
