Pasting a few trailing spaces worked for me.

Peter,
Thank you for your reply.
That got me a lot closer. Now I just need to move the text down a
bit and it will be perfect.
Thank you for your suggestion of creating a reference to barplot and
passing that as an argument into "text".
That seems to have made the difference.
Here is what I've ended up with so far:
# Reference the following URL for information about rotating axis
labels:
#
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f
# mar A numerical vector of the form c(bottom, left, top, right)
which gives the number of lines
# of margin to be specified on the four sides of the plot. The
default is c(5, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1.
par(mar = c(7, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1)
barplot_reference<-barplot(WorldPhones[1,],
ylim=c(0, 50000),
axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE,
col=terrain.colors(length(WorldPhones[1,])),
xaxt = "n", xlab = "")
# xpd A logical value or NA. If FALSE, all plotting is clipped to
the plot region, if TRUE,
# all plotting is clipped to the figure region, and if NA, all
plotting is clipped to
# the device region.
text(barplot_reference, par("usr")[3] - 0.25, srt = 45, adj = 1,
labels = as.character(colnames(WorldPhones)), xpd = TRUE)
#axis(1, at = barplot_reference, labels =
as.character(colnames(WorldPhones)), srt = 45, adj = 1)
box()
Any suggestions on adjusting the text down a bit is also greatly
appreciated.
Thank you again.

Is this an example of what you want?
temp <- barplot(3:17)
text(temp, rep(-0.5, length(3:17)), LETTERS[3:17], srt=45, adj=1)
HTH ....

I searched the forms (i.e., R Search) and come up with the
following suggested link:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-
rotated-axis-labels_003f
I tried to implement what I believe was being implied by that
URL and came up with the below:
barplot(WorldPhones[1,],
ylim=c(0, 50000),
axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE,
col=terrain.colors(length(WorldPhones[1,])),
xaxt = "n", xlab = "")
text(1:dim(WorldPhones)[1], par("usr")[3] - 0.1, srt = 45, adj = 1,
labels = as.character(colnames(WorldPhones)), xpd = TRUE)
box()
Unfortunately the labels are not aligned with the appropriate
bars. I believe I am missing something small in order to
have the text properly aligned underneath the appropriate bars.
Are there any suggestions for correcting this mis-alignment?
Thank you again for any additional feedback, links, hints or
insights.
