US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said Monday she is frustrated over the failure to name a new head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which she calls a priority.
“We’ve worked very hard with the White House on looking for a candidate,” said Clinton who has promised a shift from the Bush administration’s reliance on military force to a balance between defense, diplomacy and development.
“The clearance and vetting process is a nightmare. It takes far longer than any of us would want to see, it is frustrating beyond words,” the chief US diplomat told hundreds of USAID staff and contractors
Clinton said some good prospects for the job were daunted by the vetting process.
