    Nomination for Ambassadors and U.S. Attorneys
    July 7, 1993

        The President has announced his intention to nominate the following
    to the position of U.S. Attorney: John W. Raley, Jr., of Oklahoma;
    Charles R. Tetzlaff of Vermont; and William D. Wilmoth of West Virginia.
        The President also intends to nominate Walter Carrington to be
    Ambassador to Nigeria and Theodore E. Russell to be Ambassador to the
    Slovak Republic.
        ``With these U.S. Attorney appointments we will continue to place
    skilled and dedicated professionals in the Justice Department,'' the
    President said. ``With the addition of Charles Tetzlaff and William
    Wilmoth and the reappointment of Attorney Raley, I believe the American
    public and the judicial system will be well served.''
        The President called Walter C. Carrington ``a career professional
    whose affiliation with several renowned international agencies,
    including several associated with African issues, makes him a sound
    choice for the Nigerian post.''
        ``Theodore Russell,'' the President said, ``has demonstrated a
    talent and dedication for foreign service throughout his career, and I
    will be pleased to make his nomination official.''
