Biography | Bernadette Meehan — The Foggy Bottom Room Where Wendy Sherman Swore Her In
kevin
People treat an ambassadorship as a Senate vote and a flight.
Bernadette Meehan's commission became real in a room inside the Harry S. Truman Building on 29 August 2022.
President Joe Biden had announced the nomination on 9 July 2021.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held her hearing on 15 March 2022 and reported the nomination favorably on 18 May.
On 20 July 2022 the Senate confirmed her, 51 to 44, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Chile.
Deputy Secretary of State Wendy R. Sherman administered the oath at the Department of State in Washington.
The official photograph, taken by Freddie Everett, shows the backdrop of the National Museum of American Diplomacy, the public museum that occupies space in this same Foggy Bottom headquarters at 2201 C Street NW.
A child held the book while Meehan raised her right hand.
The building is the working headquarters of the Department of State, renamed for Harry S. Truman in 2000.
It is not a private residence, and the ceremony rooms are used for exactly this kind of public commission.
She presented her letters of credence in Santiago a month later.
