...such a declaration did not surprise U.S. diplomats. When Oumansky went to Mexico last June, he seemed to be a big man for a little job, in a post which has only recently been raised from a Ministry to an Embassy.

Comrade Andrei Gromyko has been appointed Ambassador and Envoy Plenipotentiary of the U.S.S.R. in the United States."
