Diplomats As expensive gifts by governments
Officials in high places to be fairly good wages, but wait until you hear through your eyes only a small part of the list also receive gifts from foreign governments. Gifts that appear to spend their lives hidden in 'Files of Foreign Affairs. After just looking over some of the 1998 list reads as if the files are something like Affairs Harrods the day before Christmas.
Moammar Gadhafi, Libya, has proven to be one of the most generous gift-givers, and is particularly grateful to former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visit to Tripoli years past. According to a recently released report from the State Department gave out gifts and the total value of $ 212,225, including a diamond ring and a locket with his portrait on the inside.
The officials, by law, are required to deliver these gifts to the U.S. government.
What follows is only A small sample of official gifts were received with the excuse that "non-acceptance would cause embarrassment to both the donor and U.S. Government."

Several members of the White House staff also received similar gifts, which were moved to 'General Services Administration. These include such items as swords, carpets, gold and silver cups of tea. Children's books, plush toys and children's shirts. caviar, cognac and grenades and 12 pounds of dates Arab were handled in accordance with United States Secret Service policy.
The list does not include accommodation, round trip airline tickets, etc. of the host countries.
The list rolls over and over again in hundreds of thousands of dollars in goods. And the list is only for the Bush administration in 2008!
What about all the other years and other presidents and governments worldwide, including royalty? The question remains: How are the massive Archives Foreign and are constantly expanding, or if officials have a 'auction' from time to time? Are there buildings that are full of hidden treasures and larger than several football fields? Who has control of this wealth untold, or 'foreign archives have revolving doors?
