The Key Officers Guide lists key officers at For
eign Service posts with whom American business
representatives would most likely have contact. All
embassies, missions, consulates general, and con
sulates are listed.

At the head of each U.S. diplomatic mission are
the Chief of Mission (with the title of Ambassador,
Minister or Charge d'Affaires) and the Deputy Cliief
ofl\4ission. These officers are responsible for all com¬
ponents of the U.S. Mission within a country, includ¬
ing consular posts.

Economic/Commercial Officers represent the en-
tire spectrum of U.S. economic and commercial in¬
terests within their country of assignment. Their ac¬
tivities range from trade promotion to economic re¬
porting. At larger posts, where trade volume, travel,
and private investment interest are high, there are
Commercial Officers who specialize in export pro¬
motion, arrange appointments with local business
and government officials, and provide maximum as¬
sistance to American business.
