UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United States is nominating foreign policy expert
Anthony Lake, who was an adviser to President Barack Obama, as its candidate
to head UNICEF, the U.N. children's agency.
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice sent a letter to a number of U.N. ambassadors on
Wednesday saying that Lake, who served as National Security Adviser to
former President Bill Clinton in his first term, would bring "extraordinary
experience, strategic vision and energy to UNICEF's essential work."
The letter, obtained by The Associated Press, stressed Lake's long-standing
commitment to advancing the rights of children, noting his nine years on the
board of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
