Alfred H. Kingon worked as a Wall Street investment adviser and financial magazine publisher before entering politics, serving as the Assistant Secretary of Commerce from 1983-1984. From 1985-1987, Kingon served as President Ronald Reagan's cabinet secretary. His political career culminated in a 2-year-long tenure as U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, from March 1987-June 1989.
The "over there" mentioned in our letter refers to President Bush's first trip undertaken to Europe, from May 26 - June 2, 1989, which included visits to Italy, the Vatican City, Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the United Kingdom. During this visit, President Bush would have seen Kingon, then serving the final days of his ambassadorial tenure.
