Kennedy Plans World Envoy Role as Hariman Named Possible Pick
President elect John F Kennedy said he is seriously considering a world roving ambassador to represent him in talks with top foreign officials. Reports point to W Averell Harriman as a likely choice, though Harriman declined to confirm. Kennedy spoke at a news conference at his Palm Beach home. He also said he may travel abroad but did not rule it out. Also announced: James M Landis will help plan broad regulatory reform. Kennedy and Fulbright urged long term foreign aid commitments, while disagreement persisted over changes to the minimum wage and overall foreign aid budgets. July September deficit tops 4 billion dollars annually with more being spent abroad than earned back.
