James M. Lewek '75 had worked more than 20 years for the Central Intelligence Agency as an intelligence analyst in the CIA's Office of European Analysis, specializing in Eastern European economics. He was traveling with the Brown mission as part of a special assignment to an interagency Balkan task force to brief Brown on the Bosnian economy.
"Jim was accompanying the Brown delegation to offer his expertise on economic construction, a prerequisite for lasting peace in Bosnia," CIA spokesman John M. Deutch said. "Like many other agency employees, he volunteered his service in that dangerous part of the world."
He is survived by a wife and two children.
