    Nomination of Ambassador to Mexico

     June 2, 1993

        The President declared his intention today to nominate Jim Jones,
    the CEO of the American Stock Exchange and former House Budget Committee
    chairman, to the position of Ambassador to Mexico.

        ``A great deal of our economic future,'' said the President, ``is
    bound up in our relationships in this hemisphere, particularly our
    relationship with Mexico. That is why I have chosen an Ambassador who is
    seasoned by years of economic leadership in both the private and public
    sectors. Jim Jones brings a unique perspective and uncommon talents to
    the continuing dialog with our Mexican neighbors.''

    Note: A biography of the nominee was made available by the Office of the
    Press Secretary.
