Thomas Dewar.
"From the moment we signed a peace treaty with the Dey of Algiers in 1795, bilateral relations commanded the attention of our nation's first president," President Clinton said on July 29, 1996 as he accepted the Letter of Credence of Mr Ramtane Lamamra Ambassador of Algeria to the United States.
