I will always be grateful to Ambassador Eissa for the hospitality that he extended to the Dance Theater of Harlem during several of their visits to Washington. Ambassador Eissa had a long and diversified public service career in Sudan. As a member of the Sudanese Parliament. he was chairman of the Committee on Housing and Education. He was also a member of the Blue Ribbon Committee on Refugees. Subsequently. he was appointed as a member of President Numeirys cabinet. which he later left to become Ambassador to the United States. serving concurrently as nonresident Ambassador to Canada and Mexico. While in Washington.
