Issue No. 23, February 1998
US Appoints New Non-Proliferation Envoy
On 27 February, the US State Department announced the appointment
of Robert L. Galucci as Special Envoy to "deal with concerns with
respect to proliferation of missiles and weapons of mass
destruction [WMD]." Galucci replaces Ambassador Frank G. Wisner.
Reports suggested that the priority issue for the new envoy, as for
his predecessor, would be Iran's alleged missile- and
WMD-programmes, and in particular possible Russian assistance to
Tehran.
Until April 1996, Galucci served as Ambassador-at-Large on
non-proliferation issues for President Clinton. He was a key figure
in the drawing-up and consolidation of the October 1994 US-North
Korea Framework Agreement.
