The program was demonstrated by Keith Callahan and Steven Ramirez, students at Locke High, who showed the President how Import/Export trade can be conducted over the Internet. "This is great. I love it," said Clinton to a crowd of distinguished guests such as Governor Gray Davis, Congresswoman Juanita McDonald, County Supervisor, Yvonne Brathwaite Burke and basketball great, Magic Johnson.

"I got it!" The President expressed delight when the students illustrated how they had learned to middleman a deal to earn a profit. "You mean, you can find a customer in one country and locate a supplier in another country, put the deal together and still make the money? Now, that's how the American Entrepreneur works."

The WBE.NET, a forerunner in the President's plan for the nation's venture into broader based economic borders such as import/export trade, earned Clinton's confidence that the youth at Locke High not only took his words to heart but also put them into action. Locke Principal, Anne Webb, said, "I wish every student could be a part of this program! The students taking the course have already shown marked improvement in their class work."

Clinton reflected surprise to learn from Webb that upon completion of a transaction of trade, any capital gains will be directed to the school's scholarship fund. "We have created all kinds of incentives to invest in emerging markets, whether in Asia, Europe, or Latin America. Why shouldn't we do this in the United States?," said Sanford Weill, CEO, Citigroup. Weill, 66, is a Wall Street deal maker traveling with Clinton on the tour.

Mr. Roby concurs. "Since 1987, our focus has been on establishing trade routes that lead emerging communities to the global marketplace. In answer to the President's call that all Americans get involved in international trade, we have taken a home based business concept utilizing the newest technology and translated it into a course curriculum that creates jobs and teaches students to become entrepreneurs over the Internet."
