Office of the Secretary of State
[Public Notice 2905]


Notice Convening Accountability Review Boards for the Bomb 
Attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya in Which Eleven U.S. 
Citizen Employees and one Dependent, 32 Foreign Service National 
Employees, and Hundreds of People Were Killed, and on the U.S. Embassy 
in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in Which Eight Foreign Service National 
Employees Were Killed and at Least 70 People Injured

    Pursuant to section 301 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and 
Antiterrorism Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4831 et seq.), I have determined 
that the August 7, 1998 bomb attacks on the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, 
Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, each involved serious injury, loss 
of life, or significant destruction of property at or related to a U.S. 
mission abroad. Therefore, I am convening two Accountability Review 
Boards, as required by that statute, to examine the facts and 
circumstances of each attack and report to me such findings and 
recommendations as they deem appropriate, in keeping with the attached 
mandates.
    I have appointed Admiral William J. Crowe as Chair of both Boards. 
He will be assisted on the Nairobi Board by former Ambassadors Philip 
C. Wilcox and Michael H. Armacost, Ms. Janne Nolan, Mr. Arthur W. 
(Mick) Donahue, and by Executive Secretary Ambassador Richard C. Brown. 
Admiral Crowe will be assisted on the Dar es Salaam Board by former 
Ambassador Terence A. Todman, Mr. David Busby, Dr. Lynn Davis, Mr. 
Montgomery L. Rogers, and by Executive Secretary, Mr. Kenneth R. 
McKune. All will bring to their deliberations distinguished backgrounds 
in government service and the private sector.
    I have asked the Boards to submit their conclusions and 
recommendations to me within sixty days of their first meeting, unless 
the Chair determines a need for additional time. Appropriate action 
will be taken and reports submitted to Congress on any recommendations 
made by the Boards.
    Anyone with information relevant to the Boards' examination of 
these incidents should contact the Boards promptly at (202) 647-6252 or 
fax them at (202) 647-6640.

    Dated: October 13, 1998.
Madeleine K. Albright,
Secretary of State.
