NOMINATING-OFFICER: Mary Daly
START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Ormel has only been a member of parliament since May 2002
and has been a back-up spokesman on foreign policy.
However, he will take over in the summer of 2004 from Camiel
Eurlings as one of two principal spokesmen on foreign policy
for the largest party in parliament. He has been assigned
in particular with the portfolios of peacekeeping and the
Islamic world, two keys areas of interest to the U.S.
Ormel has had very little experience in the area of foreign
policy and a visit to the U.S. would deepen his knowledge of
issues covered in his new portfolio. It is important that
he be given the opportunity of familiarizing himself with
U.S. thinking on foreign policy.
