Congratulations to Chuck Baquet for holding the fort and best wishes.

Clearly, Mr. Vasquez is not a suitable selection for Peace Corps director, having no previous Peace Corps or foreign service experience. His nomination appears to be a pay-back for a large campaign contribution during the last presidential campaign.

Peace Corps deserves a more qualified leader.

Phil Olsen, Philippines 1962-66
