Hangon tagging[edit]

In 1995, L. Desaix Anderson was appointed by Secretary of State Warren Christopher as charge d'affaires to the new U.S. embassy in Hanoi. Under the Clinton administration, formal diplomatic relations were finally restored after fifty years of war, tension, and distrust of the former enemies.

Mr. Desaix Anderson is one of the most important figures in US-Vietnam history. He wrote the story of restoring Vietnam and U.S. relations in his book, "An American in Hanoi" (published by EastBridge, 2002.) LongVo84 (talk) 05:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Anderson is a model foreign service officer. Moreover, Mr. Anderson's thirty-five years of loyal public service deserves special recognition that only the Wikipedia community can offer. This recognition is offered not only to raise awareness of the work Mr. Anderson has done, but also to inspire those who seek to work for the common good.LongVo84 (talk) 06:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not my article, and yes it's crappy, but the guy is a career foreign service officer and gets numerous Google hits, see http://www.icasinc.org/bios/anderson.html . Just needs a lot of rewriting. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
