Albright also comes well prepared for the job, Burns says. "She has more foreign policy experience than most people who have become secretary of state, and she can speak five languages. No other secretary, in my memory, could speak more than two."
"She understands she is a public figure," Burns said at the time. "But this is a very emotional issue for her and she prefers to deal with it herself."
As for her willingness to commit the nation's armed forces, Burns says Albright makes her mind up carefully. "She is very respectful of the military and weighs the danger of risking American lives...ultimately, though, she believes the military is there for a purpose."
"It's a speech to the new generation of students," Burns says. "She will discuss the old and new foreign policy challenges that the United States faces in the coming years."
Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright will use her speech this afternoon to outline America's role in the world of the 21st century, State Department spokesperson Nicholas Burns told The Crimson yesterday.
