Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who grew weary of critics stating or implying that "Europe" disapproved of U.S. foreign policy, is said to have asked, "Who do I call if I want to speak to Europe?"
Sadly, I must report that the story is apochryphal. But today, if Secretary Kissinger did want to speak to Europe, he could do so by phoning Mr. Anthony Smallwood, spokesperson for the EU Delegation to the United States. Yesterday, Mr. Smallwood briefed the Glenn Fellows on the history of the European Union at its offices on K Street in Foggy Bottom. The multinational delegation is a little like an embassy without the consular functions, he said.
