It's nice to know that our Congress has such FAST learners. 

One trip to South Korea and Senator Reed is an Asian expert specializing in Korean affairs!

Maybe he could help with China policy, Africa's issues (no scrap that thought shopping isn't so great there,) Middle East problems (Dubai has good tax-free deals) and E. U. migration.  All should be good for Congressional Delegation trips at taxpayer expense on Air Force aircraft. 

We need more experts  like Reed in Congress.
