WASHINGTON — Paul Wolfowitz, a former chief of the World Bank, will head a high-level advisory panel on arms control and disarmament, the State Department said yesterday.
The move by Secretary of State Rice marks a return to government for Mr. Wolfowitz, a conservative with close ties to the White House. As deputy defense secretary under President Bush, he was a major architect of the Iraq war. Mr. Wolfowitz will become chairman of the International Security Advisory Board, which reports to the secretary of state.
The panel is charged with supplying independent advice on arms control, disarmament, nonproliferation, and related subjects.
