I am sure they looked at integrity. These Ambassadors must have gone through that; leadership qualities, qualifications and any other requirement for appointment. The Committee must have done this as it is indicated in the Report. Ambassadors are supposed to create good relationships between countries.

This is the way to go and we congratulate the Committee for a job well done. I also want to congratulate the President for the appointment. In a special way, I want to thank him for appointing John Tipis. I have known him for more than 30 years.
