Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering served as the US Representative to the United Nations in New York under President George H.W. Bush. He led the U.S. effort to build a global coalition in the UN Security Council during and after the first Gulf War and was Under Secretary
of State for Political Affairs under President Bill Clinton. In a diplomatic career spanning five decades, Ambassador Pickering represented the US to the Russian Federation, India, Israel, El
Salvador, Nigeria, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He also served in Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. He was Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Oceans,
Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Executive Secretary of the Department of State, and Special Assistant to Secretaries of State William P. Rogers and Henry A. Kissinger.
His Fulbright Scholarship was to the University of Melbourne in Australia. The State Department has named its Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship Program in his honor. Pickering believes that these programs are a hidden asset to US diplomacy and
diplomatic leadership. Ambassador Pickering’s appointment as Career Ambassador is the
highest in the U.S. Foreign Service and his Distinguished Service Award is the State Department’s highest award.
