But what did give me a great deal of concern In the committee was that this is the first time on record that the United States would have an Ambassador at Large to a specific country. All our Ambassadors at Large have been in functional areas. working on specific problemsfor example. Dick Clark is handling refugee problems right nowand dealing with many nations. or an Ambassador appointed to an area of the world to deal with an area problem. such as our special representative to the Mideast. It was brought up in committee that we have so many agencies dealing with Mexico that this new position of some supra ambassadorial nature is now needed. I questioned in committee. and I question today. whether we really need another agency because we have so many other agencies already.
