Bush To Nominate Stewart As Ambassador To Belarus

President Bush intends to nominate Karen Stewart to be the next U.S. ambassador to Belarus, the White House said July 21.

A career member of the Senior Foreign Service, Stewart now serves as the director of the Office of Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus Affairs at the Department of State. She earlier served as deputy chief of mission in Minsk, Belarus, and in Laos.

The president also plans to nominate Mary Ourisman, a former member of the board of directors of the Smithsonian Institution, to be U.S. ambassador to Barbados and to serve concurrently as the U.S. ambassador to St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
