THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release June 2, 1993
PRESIDENT NAMES JONES AMBASSADOR TO MEXICO
(Washington, DC) The President declared his intention today to
nominate Jim Jones, the CEO of the American Stock Exchange and
former House Budget Committee Chairman, to the position of
Ambassador to Mexico.
"A great deal of our economic future," said the President,
"is bound up in our relationships in this hemisphere,
particularly our relationship with Mexico. That is why I have
chosen an Ambassador who is seasoned by years of economic
leadership in both the private and public sectors. Jim Jones
brings a unique perspective and uncommon talents to the
continuing dialogue with our Mexican neighbors."
Jones has been the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
the American Stock Exchange since 1989, and also serves as
Chairman of the American Business Conference. From 1973-1987, he
represented Oklahoma's 1st Congressional District in the U.S.
House of Representatives, serving for four of those years as
Chairman of the Budget Committee. He also served on the Ways and
Means Committee, and was Chairman of the Subcommittee on Social
Security.
Before his election to Congress, Jones was an attorney in
private practice in Tulsa, and served as a White House aide to
President Lyndon Johnson. He holds a B.A. from the University of
Oklahoma and a J.D. from Georgetown Law School, and served as a
Captain in the U.S. Army from 1964-66. He and his wife, Olivia,
have two sons, Geoffrey and Adam. Jones is 54 years old.
