His hand was on the Bible, held by his wife Judith. The dean of the Washington diplomatic corps, Cameroonian Ambassador Paul Pondi, was in attendance, as well as a number of other African ambassadors. Also in the audience were students and faculty from Washington's mainly black Cardozo High School who are a part of the model United Nations program, sponsored by the State Department. Secretary Moose and his wife help run this program. In an earlier interview with the U.S. Information Agency, the secretary noted that his rise in the foreign service was "a dream come true" made possible by his family and a score of individuals who befriended him and provided support to his career. He gave special credit to his mother, Ellen Moose, for inculcating in him and in his sister, a physician, the spirit of public service. Moose, who was formerly deputy director of the State Department's Office of Southern African Affairs and an African affairs analyst in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, said he felt a sense of awe "when confronting the challenges facing the continent of Africa." He said he understood full well that Africa is facing a "reality of peoples who despite great difficulties struggle with hope to build lives of well-being and dignity. "Given our own country's special historical connection to Africa, the unique ways Africa has influenced our culture," he continued, "I think we as Americans are especially well placed to feel and understand" what can be done to assist in the continents's move toward democratization and economic prosperity. Efforts "to construct a society in which it is possible for anyone, regardless of race, religion, and national origin, to fulfill the full measure of his or her potential," Secretary Moose said, are the "vision of America" and the example which will guide his actions toward the continent.
