WASHINGTON INSIGHT

Share

THE EARLY LINE: The Clinton campaign isn’t saying who might take charge of foreign policy if the Arkansas governor comes to the White House. But Washington insiders are beginning todraw up their own lists. . . . Some Capitol Hill staffers are betting that Los Angeles lawyer and former Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher will become Clinton’s secretary of state, with Morton I. Abramowitz, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (and former U.S. ambassador to Turkey), as his deputy. . . . The No. 3 job, undersecretary of state for policy, could well go to Richard Holbrooke, the former editor of Foreign Policy magazine who, like Christopher, worked in Foggy Bottom during the Jimmy Carter Administration. . . . Clinton’s national security adviser, insiders believe, will be the man who has served in that role during the campaign, W. Anthony Lake.
