Special Assistant to
the President and Senior Director
The Near East and South Asia Office advises and assists the President and the

respect to U.S. foreign and defense policies regarding four distinct
areas abroad: North Africa, the Levant, the Persian Gulf and South Asia.

containment of rogue states such as Iraq, Iran, and Libya; the
maintenance of good relations with several important U.S. allies; and the
challenges for U.S. policy posed by political and economic reform, regional
development, ethnic conflict, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
and the rise of political Islam.
