Prsident Clinton's choice to head the
Joint Chiefs of Staff yesteday.
By voice vote, the Senate approved
#Ihefou-ctagenerAlwhosioceedsrefired
Gmn Colin Powell as the Joint Chiefs
chair.Powell stepped down last week.
Although Shalikashvili faced no
congressional opposition, the Armed
ServicesCommitteedecidednottoact
onthe nomination until the White House
chose his replacement as NATO's Su-
preme Allied CommanderEurope and
commander of U.S. forces in Europe.
Sen. SamNunn (D-Ga.)the Armed
Services chair, cited the political tur-
moil in Russia and the continuing un-
certainty in Bosnia as reasons to en-
sure a smooth hand-over of command
authority within NATO.
The committee on Tuesday for-
mally received the nomination of
Army Gen. George Joulwan, the cur-
rent commander of U.S. forces in
Latin America, to succeed
Shalikashvili. The only reservations
about Shalikashvili emerged in Au-
gust when documents showed that in
World War II the nominee's father
had served the Nazi cause with the
notorious Waffen SS.
At his confirmation hearing, the
57-year-old Shalikashvili denied that
he had withheld knowledge of his
father'spastand was deeply disturbed
by speculation that he had hidden in-
formation of the SS connection.
"I did not withhold this informa-
tion, for I never had the slightest hint
thatmy father was associated with the
Waffen SS," the general said.
