    Hillary Clinton To Lead U.S. Delegation At Berlin Wall

    Posted:
    11/6/09
    Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will lead the U.S. delegation to Germany for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the White House has announced

    The delegation for next week's ceremony will include the U.S. ambassador to Germany, Philip Murphy, and German Marshall Fund President Craig Kennedy, the Associated Press reported. Also traveling with Clinton will be Brett Scowcroft, a top aide to Presidents Ford and George H.W. Bush, and President Carter's aide Zbigniew Brzezinski.

    The German capital will be the site of a weeklong celebration of the fall of the wall that divided Germany for much of the Cold War. Chancellor Angela Merkel will host a number of European heads of state and other current and former world leaders, including one-time Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev.

    The schedule of events includes open air concerts, special exhibits, and a grand fireworks display, the VOA reported.

    Before the celebrations begin, Clinton will deliver Sunday what the White House is calling a "major policy address" to The Atlantic Council, a group that seeks to improve U.S.-European relations.
