TEXTO I

TILLERSON CONDEMNS RACISM, CALLS FOR NATIONAL RECONCILIATION

U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, issued a forceful condemnation of

"bigotry in all its forms" on Friday and called for national reconciliation as he

promised to work toward making the government with greater minority

participatio.

Tillerson invoked the 1865 second inaugural address by Abraham Lincoln, the

president who freed the slaves and presided over the Civil War against

rebellious pro-slavery Confederate Southern States.

As the war drew to a close, Lincoln asked the nation to bind up its wounds

from the conflict, Tillerson noted.

"We, too, today should seek to bind up the wounds," Tillerson said. "We must

pursue reconciliation, understanding and respect regardless of skin color,

ethnicity or religious or political views."

He added: "Racism is evil; it is antithetical to America's values. It's antithetical

to the American idea.

Tillerson said one of America's defining characteristics "is the promise of the

opportunity for advancement regardless of your skin color, how much money

your parents make or where you came from."

He announced a new State Department policy in which at least one candidate

for any opening for an ambassador post must be a minority, noting that

currently only about 12 percent of U.S. senior foreign service officers are

non-white.

"The State Department must redouble our efforts to increase diversity at the

highest ranks of the department, including at the ambassador level," Tillerson

said.

Statistics published by the State Department show that as of the end of June,

88 percent of senior foreign service officers - the high-ranking diplomats

from which the country's ambassadors are drawn - are white and 4 percent

are black. One-third of senior foreign service officers are women, and 7

percent of the agency's civil service members are Hispanic.

To remedy the lack of diversity, Tillerson said he had told committees that

nominate ambassadorial candidates at least one candidate for each opening

must be a member of a minority group.
