Mr. Rowan's reports on race relations in the South interested President John F. Kennedy. In 1961, President Kennedy appointed Mr. Rowan deputy assistant Secretary of State. He served as a delegate to the United Nations during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. Mr. Rowan later was appointed ambassador to Finland. During his years in President Kennedy's administration, Carl Rowan got to know Lyndon B. Johnson. Lyndon Johnson became president after President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. In 1964, President Johnson named Carl Rowan director of the United States Information Agency. The position made him the highest level African American in the United States government. Mr. Rowan said being chosen to head the United States Information Agency and the Voice of America was one of the great honors of his life.罗文先生对南部地区种族关系的报道吸引了约翰肯尼迪总统的兴趣。1961年肯尼迪总统签发了对罗文先生副助理国务卿职务的任命书。在1962年古巴导弹危机中他作为美国代表任职。此后又被任命为芬兰大师。他在肯尼迪任内的岁月中，卡尔罗文逐渐了解了林顿·约翰逊。而林顿·约翰逊在肯尼迪1963年遇刺后成为新任总统。1964年，约翰逊总统将卡尔罗文任命为美国新闻处的主任。这个职位将他推到黑人在美国政府中任职的最高峰。罗文表示被任命为新闻处的首脑，和美国之声就是他生活的最高荣誉。
