On July 21, 2006 a Muslim Public Affairs Council Press Release reported, "The Muslim Public Affairs Council today sent a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice articulating the need for an American Muslim advisor to travel with her as an advisor during her trip to the region. In times such as these, America's best resource for developing a strategic approach is the voice of credible and authentic representatives from the American Muslim community who can provide increased understanding of the sentiments on the Arab and Muslim street. Such insight is crucial to our nation's ability to develop a comprehensive diplomatic settlement to the current crisis." The press release reprints the full text of the letter to Condoleezza Rice.
