Former U.S. ambassador to Japan Tom Foley dies at 84

Tom Foley, the courtly former speaker of the U.S. House who lost his seat when Republicans seized control of Congress in 1994, has died of complications from a stroke. He was 84.

His wife, Heather, said the former speaker had suffered the stroke last December and was hospitalized in May with pneumonia. He returned home after a week and had been on hospice care there ever since, she said.

Foley also served as U.S. ambassador to Japan for four years in the Clinton administration.  A longtime Japan scholar, Foley had been a frequent visitor to that nation, in part to promote the farm products his district produces.

PS Tom Foley氏の肉声は、廃刊となった『Business View〈別冊〉米議員9人に問う―日米関係の危機 ﾃﾞｨｼｼﾞｮﾝ･ﾒｰｶｰの“本音”』 (グロービュー社、1982年) で聞くことができると思います。当時、同時通訳の授業で使用していました。
