US State Department cables from places I have served plus items from my time as a UN peacekeeper. To increase public awareness of how diplomacy and peacekeeping are (were) actually done. All cables cleared by USG FOIA procedure. Cables are mostly those sent under my name from my posts but also others in which I was directly involved. UN documents and other items will also include occasional notes and background. Most recent in series on top with cables under the new series of UN documents.

99 Brasilia 03129: ONDCP Director McCaffery's Visit to Brasilia*
*Note: One of my chief jobs -- given to me while I was still in Washington -- was to get along with Judge Maerovitch. He was somewhat prickly and initially unfriendly towards DEA. By the time I left Brasilia, our relations were cooperative. The photo below shows a high point of our relationship when the Judge agreed to meet with me in the Embassy (ambassador's office).
