Number 106 December 28, 1989 0\ A publication of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, D.C. Who's Who, and Where A Guide to Key Personnel in U.S.-African Relations In the first issue of CSIS Africa Notes (July 1, 1982), I wrote: "With the publication of CSIS Africa Notes, a new dimension is added to the Center's African Studies Program. Not all articles we publish will be as irreverent as this issue's tour of five countries of East Africa [Jerry Funk's 'Some Observations on Strategic Realities and Ideological Red Herrings on the Horn of Africa'], but all will be concerned in one way or another with destereotyping. The problem with boxing and labeling African leaders and states as 'good guys' and 'bad guys' is that boxes and labels devised in either Moscow or Washington tend to disintegrate in the African sun. Thus, we will be looking through a variety of prisms at African political configurations, personalities, conflicts, economic pressures, external relationships, . .. and policy options for the United States." In the seven and a half years since the 1982launching, we have produced 106 issues on a wide range of policy-relevant topics (see list on page 7) . Our subscribers in the United States and in over 30 other countries fall generally into the categories whose special needs we sought to serve from the outset­ " decision makers, analysts, and trailblazers with Africa-related responsibilities in governments, corporations, the media, research institutions, universities, and other arenas." One of the most popular issues published from time to time has been our "Who's Who, and Where" guide to key personalities in official U.S.-African relations. Our 1989 update, originally scheduled for publication in June, was delayed by the slow pace of Bush administration appointments to senior positions in executive branch departments and agencies, as well as the diplomatic corps. The timing of congressional recesses in relation to required Senate confirmation of some appointees has also complicated the "transition" process. As readers will note, several key slots are still being filled by "acting" officials. Shawn McCormick and Denise Miller of the African Studies Program's Research Staff coordinated research and production for this new edition.
