Ambassadors Seek Higher Pay for US Diplomats
The United States faces a diplomatic salary crisis as five ambassadors abroad press for better compensation. Salaries of 17,500 a year each are deemed insufficient to maintain dignity, with Runyon in Germany and Eustis in France spending far beyond their stipends. Diplomats urge Congress to act to avoid resignations and a potential collapse of ambassadorial functions.
