Coordinator for International Crime and Terrorism, with
information on the qualifications of Ambassador Melvyn
Levitsky, the U.S. candidate for the International Narcotics
Control Board, on July 31. Archibald indicated that Canada
has already submitted the nomination of retired Health Canada
official Dann Michols for membership on the INCB. She further
indicated that Canada has heard there will be two INCB
vacancies, but added that has not yet been confirmed.
Archibald said that if there are two board vacancies, she did
not foresee a conflict between the U.S. and Canadian
candidates, as each would bring different strengths to the
board. Arcibald said that they would be willing to discuss a
possible geographic conflict resulting from the U.S. and
Canadian candidacies, if there is only one open seat.
Archibald indicated they will provide post with further
background information on Michols.
