Obama Appoints Shaheen to UN

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced his intent to nominate Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to serve as representative of the United States to the 65th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as representative of the United States to the United Nations General Assembly, and I thank President Obama for this nomination,” Shaheen said.

“The security challenges facing America today are truly complex and global in nature. From nuclear proliferation to international terrorism to climate change, the U.S. will need to leverage support from the international community if we are to overcome these dangerous threats. American leadership will be critical to this effort. I look forward to bringing this message to the U.N. as we work to strengthen our alliances and protect American interests around the globe.”

Obama also announced his intent to nominate the following individuals to the 65th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations: Carol Fulp, as representative; Greg Nickels, as an alternate representative and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., as a representative.
