    Foreign Service  To a great extent the future of our country depends on
    the relations we have with other countries, and those relations are
    conducted principally by the U.S. Foreign Service. Trained
    representatives stationed worldwide provide the President and the
    Secretary of State with much of the raw material from which foreign
    policy is made and with the recommendations that help shape it.
        Ambassadors are the personal representatives of the President and
    report to the President through the Secretary of State. Ambassadors have
    full responsibility for implementation of U.S. foreign policy by any and
    all U.S. Government personnel within their

    [[Page 303]]

    country of assignment, except those under military commands. Their
    responsibilities include negotiating agreements between the United
    States and the host country, explaining and disseminating official U.S.
    policy, and maintaining cordial relations with that country's government
    and people.
        A listing of Foreign Service posts, together with addresses and
    telephone numbers and key personnel, appears in Key Officers of Foreign
    Service Posts--Guide for Business Representatives, which is for sale by
