[Public Notice 5015]


Notice Convening an Accountability Review Board for the December 
6, 2004, Attack on the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

    Pursuant to section 301 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and 
Antiterrorism Act of 1986, as amended (22 U.S.C. 4831 et seq.), I have 
determined that the December 6, 2004, attack on the U.S. Consulate in 
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia involved loss of life and serious injury at or 
related to a U.S. mission abroad. Therefore, I am convening an 
Accountability Review Board, as required by that statute, to examine 
the facts and the circumstances of the attack and to report to me such 
findings and recommendations as it deems appropriate, in keeping with 
their mandate.
    I have appointed David C. Fields, a retired U.S. ambassador, as 
Chair of the Board. He will be assisted by Melvin Harrison, John Geoff 
O'Connell, Carolee Heileman, Robert Benedetti and by the Executive 
Secretary to the Board, Mark Jackson. They bring to their deliberations 
distinguished backgrounds in government service and in the private 
sector.
    The Board will submit its conclusions and recommendations to me 
within 60 days of its 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 Board.
    Anyone with information relevant to the Board's examination of this 
incident should contact the Board promptly at (202) 647-5204 or send a 
fax to the Board at (202) 647-3282.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: March 4, 2005.
Condoleezza Rice,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
