Outerbridge Horsey (diplomat)
Outerbridge Horsey VI (1910 – August 18, 1983) was an American diplomat who served as First Secretary Consul at Rome (1947 to 1955), Minister and Counselor at Tokyo (1956 to 1958), and U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia (1963 to 1966).[1][2]
While working at the Embassy in Rome and when he was handling Spanish Affairs, Horsey was "a great admirer of General Franco ... (and) was a staunch believer in the right wing of the Christian Democratic party, which opposed the present alliance between Premier Fanfani and the Nenni Socialists."[3]
Born in New York, Horsey was educated at Downside School in Somerset, England, and attended Trinity College, Cambridge. He later worked on an engineering degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Horsey died of cancer at the Georgetown University Hospital.[4]
