The US Senate's International Relations Committee held a confirmation hearing on Wednesday for Carol Rodley (pictured), a former deputy chief of mission in Phnom Penh who has been nominated as the next ambassador to Cambodia.

Rodley, who has also served in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, will not begin her assignment until she is approved by the full Senate.

The former ambassador, Joseph Mussomeli, ended his three-year tour in Cambodia Aug. 25.
