CHAPTER 38--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Sec. 2688. Ambassadors; criteria regarding selection and
confirmation
It is the sense of the Congress that the position of United States
ambassador to a foreign country should be accorded to men and women
possessing clearly demonstrated competence to perform ambassadorial
duties. No individual should be accorded the position of United States
ambassador to a foreign country primarily because of financial
contributions to political campaigns.
