Dear Friends of the Burkle Center for International Relations and the UCLA International Institute:


For the next address in the Burkle Forum Series, I am delighted to invite you to attend a public lecture with special guest speaker, Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel and Director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution,

Mr. Indyk has spent much of the last decade developing and managing Middle East policy for the U.S. government.  He will discuss “Making War and Peace in the Middle East.”

I hope you will join us on:

(Public Lecture with Q&A to follow)

Martin Indyk has played a leading role in building bridges to peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. He was responsible for the evolution of Iraq policy from “containment” to “regime change” during the Clinton Administration. Over the past nine years he has been an active participant in all the dramatic Middle Eastern events that have grabbed the world's attention. As the first -- and second -- Jewish U.S. Ambassador to the State of Israel, he worked intimately with five Israeli Prime Ministers (Rabin, Peres, Netanyahu, Barak and Sharon).

As President Clinton's Middle East advisor at the National Security Council, Ambassador Indyk was responsible for handling the 1993 Oslo signing ceremony and for helping to negotiate the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty.

He is currently Director of The Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the prestigious Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. where he writes and comments on current Middle East issues through regular TV appearances and opinion pieces in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Foreign Affairs. He is writing a book on the Clinton Administration Middle East Policy, which will be published in 2003 by Alfred A. Knopf.

I hope you will join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion of the world’s most important and timely concerns today.

Parking is available for $7.  Enter the campus on Westholme Avenue from Hilgard Avenue for Parking Lot 2.


Sincerely,

Geoffrey Garrett
