Senate Confirm Valenzuela - Finally!
ValenzuelaAfter an inexplicable and inexcusable delay, the U.S. Senate last week finally confirmed Dr. Arturo Valenzuela to be Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs. In making the announcement, the State Department said "He is a specialist on the origins and consolidation of democracy, the institutional dimensions of democratic governance, Latin American politics, and U.S.-Latin American relations."

During the Clinton administration, Dr. Valenzuela served at the White House as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Inter-American Affairs at the National Security Council and as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, where his primary responsibility was United States foreign policy towards Mexico.

He holds a Doctorate and a Master's degree in Political Science from Columbia University, and a B.A. summa cum laude in Political Science and Religion from Drew University.
