U.S. Ambassador

U.S. Ambassador

The photo caption of the meeting between Vice President
Megawati Soekarnoputri and U.S. Ambassador Robert Gelbard on the
front page of Friday's edition, and the accompanying story on the
inside page, contained some inaccuracies.

The meeting was not a farewell call but a courtesy call and
part of a regular dialog by the ambassador with Indonesian
officials. Gelbard in fact continues to exercise his full
responsibilities as the U.S. ambassador.

We apologize for the error, both for the content as well as
the tone of the article, and for any inconvenience it may have
caused the Ambassador and the Embassy.
