Pell’s Letter to Secretary of State Jim Baker

 

The Honorable James A. Baker, III
Secretary of State
Department of State
Washington, D.C. 20520
April 15, 1991

Dear Mr. Secretary:

My recent visit to Yugoslavia has reinforced my view that the United States should establish a cultural center in Pristina, the capital of the Serbian province of Kosovo. have written to Eugene Kopp, the Acting Director of USIA, about this; and a copy of my letter is enclosed.

I hope very much that you will support this proposal. The situation in Kosovo is such an important element in the unraveling of Yugoslavia that I do not see how we can get along without a permanent presence in Pristina.

With every good wish.

Ever sincerely,

Claiborne Pell
Chairman
