On his first overseas trip since the elections, President Clinton assured anxious Asian leaders Sunday that America's foreign policy will not be shaken by the Republican landslide in Congress. "The nnsition of t.hp. Tlnitorl Stntos is rertainlv just as strong as it ever has been," Clinton said, setting the stage for a summit on expanding trade with Asia's booming economies. Organizers hope leaders of 18 Pacific and Asian nations attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum will agree to free trade in the region by 2020, though China and Malaysia are resisting. In advance of the summit, Clinton was holding one-on-one talks Monday with the leaders of China, Japan, South Korea and Australia. Disputes over human rights and trade barriers were expected to be high on the agenda for Clinton's second meeting with Chinese President Jiang Zemin in a year. Frictions eased somewhat after Clinton granted most-favored-nation trade status to China, and Beijing has agreed to several business deals, including a $1.6 billion purchase of American passenger aircraft. Republicans visit Iowa, first stop in 1996 race DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) ? Bob Dole is a man in a hurry these days, but he was content to cool his heels for half an hour to share a podium with Iowa's Republican Gov. Terry Branstad. "I think there will be a number of people dropping into Iowa between now and January," the Senate Republican leader cracked as he milled around an airport lobby waiting for Branstad. "Judging from my phone calls, yes, there will be," Branstad said when he arrived. With the passing of the midterm elections, Republicans wasted no time turning to the next campaign ? the fight for the nomination to oppose President Clinton in 1996.

The swing by Dole, from neighboring Kansas, came just two days after the election. Sens. Phil Gramm of Texas and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania were hard on his heels.

"There is a lot of business to do there," McDermott said about the Latin American market. "These governments are getting better." The economic boom in Argentina and the boost for the Mexican economy after the signing of the NAFTA free-trade agreement also stirred hopes for economic recovery in Latin America. The panelists said in order to be successful in Latin America, business managers and sales representatives in international industries must know how to deal with the different and more relaxed atmosphere in Latin America. "Be quiet for a while, let them speak in order to know what they think," McDermott said.
