Diplomacy

I’ve tried to keep our country at peace.

The tremendous votes that took place recently in the United Nations contradicts the historical tone.

SUBMITTED OCTOBER 2, 1978 HERBERT S. OKUN, OF MARYLAND, A FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICER OF CLASS ONE, FOR THE RANK OF MINISTER DURING THE TENURE OF HIS ASSIGNMENT AS THE STATE DEPARTMENT SALT REPRESENTATIVE AT GENEVA, SWITZERLAND.

SUBMITTED OCTOBER 5, 1978 RICHARD A. ERICSON, JR., OF CALIFORNIA, A FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICER OF CLASS ONE, TO BE AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY AND PLENIPOTENTIARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO ICELAND.

SUBMITTED OCTOBER 3, 1978 HENRY DAVID OWEN, OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, TO BE AMBASSADOR AT LARGE.

The Government of Turkey is acting in good faith to achieve a just and peaceful settlement of the Cyprus problem

I am transmitting a copy of that letter to Prime Minister Begin for his information.

I will nominate Donald K. Petterson of San Luis Obispo, Calif., to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Somali Democratic Republic.

I am happy to say that today it appears to have no enemies.

I will talk to him directly.

I will nominate William E. Schaufele, Jr., of Avon Lake, Ohio, to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to Poland.

It's obvious to me that anyone who wanted to disrupt the friendship between ourselves and Panama would be very much in favor of the treaties being rejected.

This agreement should strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two countries, underlining their will and ability to cooperate with each other and with other nations in devising common actions to meet common problems.

Our hope is that the Somalians might call publicly for negotiations to begin immediately to resolve the Ogaden dispute.

The basic negotiation ought to take place between those two nations themselves.
