Speaking of Safire
A letter in the New York Times yestrerday:
To the Editor:
I was surprised to see my name in William Safire's March 29 column about the United Nations oil-for-food program for Iraq.
Mr. Safire would be well advised not to hold his breath for my telephone call ("call me"), as I am neither embittered nor an ex-United Nations type.
Rather, since 1998 I have been serving as director for Inter-Agency Coordination at the United Nations and am not associated in any way with the oil-for-food program.
As Mr. Safire knows, the secretary general has already ordered an independent inquiry that will bring out all the facts pertaining to this matter.
