California and Mexico and to formulate viable financial and environmental
proposals. - Represented California at a Munich, Germany signing ceremony to extend a
two-year research and technology agreement between California and the Free
State of Bavaria. The extension of the California/Bavaria Research
and Technology Development Partnership will help California companies enter
the German marketplace in key industries. - Member of a successful California trade mission to Mexico in February
1999. This mission helped to restore friendly relations between California and
Mexico and was reciprocated by a later visit to California by then-President
Ernesto Zedillo. - Hosted an international trade and economic development conference with the Governor
of Jalisco, Mexico in 1999, which was held in conjunction with the inaugural
Cruz M. Bustamante Cup exhibition soccer game. Tying sports and international
relations together is an innovative approach to promoting trade, economic
development and cultural exchanges. - Opened a $100,000 bank account at Founders National Bank in South Los
Angeles. Bustamante continues to encourage others to also invest in community
banks, which in turn provide loans to their customers and services to those
