No Timeline to Replace U.S. Ambassador to Mexico — U.S. Congress | The Texas Tribune: "The U.S. Department of State on Tuesday said U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual has agreed to stay in Mexico City to help the two governments organize a transition. Officials said they could not speculate about when President Barack Obama plans to name a replacement for Pascual, who resigned on Saturday.
“Ambassador Pascual is still there until a new ambassador is appointed,” said Tanya Powell, a department spokeswoman.
In a story Tuesday, Mexican media outlet El Universal cited analysts who said it could be months before a replacement is named. In the meantime, Deputy Chief of Mission John D. Feeley will lead the embassy."
