Early in his Vice Presidency, Johnson responds to a recommendation from a young constituent, New York State President of the Affiliated Young Democrats, Inc.: "I want to thank you for your good letter and its recommendation of Congressman Victor L. Anfuso of Brooklyn for appointment as Ambassador to Israel…I do want President Kennedy and his people to have your recommendation. Thus, I am telling them of your suggestion. We are going to need all the talent and experience that can be made available to the country in the years to come…" Mr. Moskovit's candidate was not selected -- Walworth Barbour served as Ambassador to Israel from 1961-1973.
