DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 5423]


Notice Convening an Accountability Review Board To Examine the 
Circumstances of the Death of Mr. David E. Foy and Mr. Iftikhar Ahmed 
in March 2006

    Pursuant to section 301 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and 
Antiterrorism Act of 1986, as amended (22 U.S.C. 4831 et seq.), the 
Secretary of State has determined that a recent attack on an official 
motorcade in Karachi, Pakistan involved loss of life that was at or 
related to a U.S. mission abroad. Therefore, the Secretary has convened 
an Accountability Review Board to examine the facts and the 
circumstances of the attacks and to report to me such findings and 
recommendations as it deems appropriate, in keeping with the attached 
mandate.
    The Secretary has appointed David C. Fields, a retired U.S. 
Ambassador, as Chair of the Board. He will be assisted by Carolee 
Heileman, William Pope, Melvin Harrison, John Weber and the Executive 
Secretary to the Board, Hugo Carl Gettinger. They bring to their 
deliberations distinguished backgrounds in government service and/or in 
the private sector.
    The Board will submit its conclusions and recommendations to 
Secretary Rice 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 
these incidents should contact the Board promptly at (202) 647-5204 or 
send a fax to (202) 647-3282.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: May 23, 2006.
Henrietta H. Fore,
Under Secretary for Management, Department of State.
