Former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell has been named chairman of the board of the Eisenhower Fellowships, the Philadelphia-based group that funds international travel and education for potential leaders.

General Eisenhower was a great man. One of his greatest achievements was the Interstate Highway System. I'm sure that he had his blunders, too. General Powell, at 68, still has a lot to give to our nation, and will be remembered for much more than his 2003 speech at the UN.

Thank you, Sir, for making Philadelphia your headquarters!
