The Netherlands government has failed so far to approve the appointment of Mrs. Gery Joseph of Minneapolis as the next U.S. Ambassador to Holland. She is the wife of Burton Joseph, chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith and was nominated by President Carter to succeed Robert McCloskey who is now the U.S. Ambassador to Greece. The objections seem to stem from the fact that Burton, who plans to join his wife in The Hague, has business connections with a Rotterdam grain firm that he refuses to give up, thus posing a problem of conflict of interest.
