Spokesman Richard Boucher said about 20 scholars from the United States and abroad will share their thoughts with 50 State Department officials. He said the department hopes the conference, set for Sept 5-6, will yield clues as to how to counter anti-Americanism. The conference is the culmination of a project conducted by the department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. The bureau has already looked at the phenomenon in Europe, Russia and the Muslim world, Boucher said. Since Sept. 11, the administration has been working harder to get its message across to Muslim countries, some of which demonstrated popular support for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Secretary of State Colin Powell and other officials have given interviews to media outlets from Islamic countries. The department also has sponsored U.S. tours for media representatives from a number of Muslim countries. Last March, the Voice of America launched a new 24-hour AM-FM station tailored for listeners in the Arab world. © Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
