Agreement was reached on both points, then underscored by the appointment of former Treasury Secretary David Kennedy, 66, as Ambassador to NATO. Kennedy has been ambassador-at-large since he stepped aside in favor of John Connally at the Treasury last February. His appointment is meant to signal U.S. allies of American resolve to work within the European alliance, regardless of the new overtures to the East...
