Officials in high places are pretty good wages, but hopefully cast eyes on a small portion of the list of gifts that are also governments foreigners. The gifts that seem to spend their lives hidden in the "Archives of Foreign Affairs. After seeing some 1998 list reads as if the files are foreigners something like Harrods, Christmas Eve.
Moammar Gaddafi, Libya has proved to be one of the most generous gift donors are particularly grateful to former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to Tripoli last year. Under the proposal the State Department recently published the report that presents the total value of $ 212,225, including a diamond ring and a locket with his picture inside.

The following is just a small sample of official gifts that were received with the excuse that "non-acceptance would cause embarrassment to donors and the Government of the United States. "

Many articles have been moved to 'General Services Administration, showing that they are "officially" used some hand.
Several staff members of the White House has also received similar grants, which have been transferred to the General Services Administration. These include items like swords, carpets, tea cups of silver and gold. Children's books, stuffed toys and shirts toddlers. Caviar, cognac and grenades and 12 kg of dates from Saudi were processed according to the U.S. Secret Service policy.

The list of rolls and hundreds of thousands of dollars of assets. And the list is only for the Bush administration in 2008!
