Board of Directors

24

  • Lawrence S. Eagleburger Eagleburger became a member of the board in 1998 and is also a member of the Audit, the Compensation, the Management Oversight, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Described as a career diplomat, Eagleburger joined the US Foreign Service in 1957 and held a series of embassy, State Department, national security, and Defense Department posts. When, in 1969, Henry Kissinger became Nixon's national security adviser, Eagleburger served as his executive assistant. After working as a political adviser to NATO in Belgium, and as Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Department of Defense, Eagleburger rejoined Kissinger at the State Department, again as his executive assistant in 1973. He then went on to serve as US ambassador (1977-81) to Yugoslavia. He was a State Department assistant secretary (1981-82) and under-secretary (1982-84) before serving as deputy secretary of state (1989-92) and secretary of state (1992-93) under President George Bush, becoming the first foreign service officer to hold the latter post.25 Before assuming his role as deputy secretary of state in 1989, Eagleburger was president of Kissinger Associates, Inc.(who analyse political risk and international economic trends to help clients make business decisions about operations in a foreign countries). Between 1985 and 1990, BNL (one of the largest banks in Italy with assets over $100 billion and 98 percent-owned by the Italian Government), as a client of Kissinger Associates, conspired to provide the Government of Iraq with over $4 billion in unreported loans.26 The loans were used to feed Iraqi people and to build weapons of mass destruction. In addition, the BNL loans were crucial to the Reagan and Bush administration's efforts to assist Saddam Hussein. While at the State Department, Eagleburger was fully aware of the link between BNL and the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) program for Iraq and the importance of the BNL scandal. A State Department memo dated October 13, 1989, states: 'The unfolding BNL scandal is directly involved with the Iraqi CCC program and cannot be separated from it.'27To date, several former BNL employees have pleaded guilty to the conspiracy and of signing false financial statements. Eagleburger's role in promoting United States-Iraq relations spans both his commissions at the State Department. During the early 1980's, Eagleburger wrote letters promoting the use of the CCC and Eximbank as tools to provide United States financial assistance to Iraq. Starting in 1989, then deputy secretary of state Eagleburger played a key role in winning approval of the $1 billion CCC program for Iraq just months prior to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Eagleburger still serves as president of Kissinger Associates, Inc. and as senior foreign policy advisor with Baker, Donelson, Bearman & Caldwell (a Washington D.C. law firm). He is also chairman emiritus of the Academy of Diplomacy and a director of the Atlantic Institute (since 1987), Conoco Phillips, Stimsonite, Universal Corporation, Corning Corporation, and COMSAT.
