		<description><![CDATA[Former Secretary Norman Mineta provided a service in making his 2007 speech on the maritime sector (excerpts found starting here).  Since he went to the trouble, let&#8217;s use his suggestions as a starting point for an overdue discussion on rethinking and recharging US maritime policy. Secretary Mineta called for moving maritime related functions of other [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mtsmatters.com&amp;blog=8522093&amp;post=903&amp;subd=mtsmatters&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
