SUGGESTED REMARKS AT SIGNING OF
EXECUTIVE PROTECTIVE SERVICE BILL
Background:
A. His Excellency Dr. Guillermo Sevilla-Secasa of
Nicaragua, Dean of the Diplomatic Corps
B. His Excellency Egidio Ortona, Ambassador from
Italy to the United States
will be present at the ceremony.
The Federal Government has a clear duty, under international
law and practice, to protect the representatives of foreign govern-
ments as adequately as possible. We expect other governments to do
this for our representatives abroad; we must do the same thing for
them.
More than 125 nations send Ambassadors to the United States.
As gracious hosts and as conscientious international citizens we must
do all we can to protect the person, the dignity and the property of
these distinguished national guests.
The Metropolitan Police are the only force which now has respon-
sibility for protecting foreign embassies. Under this new law, that force
will continue to play an important role in investigation and crowd control.
