As a civil servant who has served eight secretaries of commerce, I want to add my words of admiration for Malcolm Baldrige.

He was a warm, dedicated individual who tried to find pragmatic answers in a period of increasing trade problems.

When the history books about commerce secretaries are written, the name of Malcolm Baldrige will rate as one of the greatest.
