I acknowledge Senator Feeney's response. I would like to mention a few more very worthwhile people that looked after me in the United States: Tim Beaty, Director of Global Strategies; and Jeff Farmer, Director of Organising, who I have had the pleasure of meeting on a number of occasions. Jeff has been a visitor to Australia. Others were Dan Sullivan from Washington, an organiser with the Teamsters; Jason Gately, an international organiser out there in Las Vegas; Mike Magnani, secretary/treasurer of Local 995; Larry Griffith, secretary/treasurer of Local 14;    Bob Morales, secretary/treasurer of Local 350 in Daly City, California; and a very good friend of mine, Rudy Gonzalez, from Local 856 in San Francisco.

While at the conference I was given the opportunity to attend a Teamster organised rally in the streets of Los Angeles.
