Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is traveling to the nation's capital to participate in a panel discussion about exports sponsored by a presidential advisory council. Nixon departed yesterday for Washington and is scheduled to be a part of a meeting today of the President's Export Council.
An agenda lists a panel discussion about "21st Century Competitiveness." Nixon spokesperson Scott Holste says the panel discussion also will include the Governor of South Carolina and the mayor of Fresno, California. He says it will be moderated by Jim McNerneyJr., who is chairman and CEO of The Boeing Company.
Later this week, Nixon is to leave for France to attend the Paris Air Show. Some participants in that trade trip also will be going to Ireland, though Nixon will not.
