Notice Convening an Accountability Review Board for the Attack on 
the Consulate Shuttle Bus in Karachi in Which Two Americans Were Killed

    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 March 8, 1995, terrorist attack on the Consulate shuttle bus 
in Karachi, Pakistan, involved loss of life 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 circumstances of the 
attack and report to me such findings and recommendations as it deems 
appropriate, in keeping with the attached mandate.
    I have appointed former Ambassador Jane Coon as chairperson of the 
board. She will be assisted by former Ambassador Peter Sebastian, 
former Ambassador Peter Moffat, Mr. James Higham, and Mr. George 
Murphy. Mr. Douglas Watson will act as Executive Secretary. The members 
will bring to their deliberations distinguished backgrounds in 
government service and private life.
    I have asked the Board to submit its conclusions and 
recommendations to the Secretary within sixty days of its first 
meeting, unless the Chairperson 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 on (202) 647-9403.
Strobe Talbott,
Deputy Secretary of State.
