Foreign Diplomats

Foreign Diplomats at the United Nations in New York City park vehicles anywhere they choose, ignoring local laws. City authorities issue tickets and occasionally tow cars, sustaining a decades-old clash between the U.N. and municipal enforcers. Leo McGarry invokes this friction to Charlie Young, stressing the need to block such petty diplomatic irritants from the President's desk amid weightier crises like the Vickie Hilton case and speechwriting shortages.
