Malaysia to get new U.S. envoy

WASHINGTON (AFP): President Bill Clinton said on Monday he
would nominate new U.S. ambassadors to Cambodia and Malaysia.

Clinton said he would nominate career foreign service officer

Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs from 1990-
1994.

The president said he had selected foreign service officer

The nominations are subject to confirmation by the Republican-
