Claiborne Pell: “I think he enjoys the credentials to be an excellent Deputy Secretary. He enjoys the most important credential of all…”

On the recordFebruary 22, 1994
I think he enjoys the credentials to be an excellent Deputy Secretary. He enjoys the most important credential of all, as Senator Glenn observed, because ``he clearly enjoys the full and complete confidence of the President and the Secretary of State.'' The American Foreign Service Association, a professional group, said he is just ``* * * the sort of person that the Foreign Service would like to be named to all noncareer diplomatic posts.'' AFSA also said that as Ambassador-at-Large he has won the respect of the Foreign Service officers with whom he has worked and further noted that U.S. foreign policy will be on firmer footing now that Mr. Talbott has taken on such broader responsibilities.
