Ambassador Jeffrey Davidow will address the following questions:

• What would the return of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to power mean for Mexico and U.S.-Mexico relations?

• What are the possible scenarios for Venezuela with or without President Hugo Chavez?

Over the course of a 34-year career in the Foreign Service, Ambassador Davidow became one of America's most senior and well-respected diplomats. He has extensive experience in both Latin America and Africa, having served as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Venezuela and Zambia.
