Current member of the CFR

Condoleezza is a current member of the Council on Foreign Relations.^[1] I really didn't see a way to add that in with the current comment... In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, Rice served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

She is included in Category:Council on Foreign Relations, so I feel it should be listed on her page here.

Typo

Under "Conservative criticism," the last sentence uses the phrase "Russia policy" which should probably be "Russian policy," no?

In the second paragraph from the top it says she joined president H.W. Bush’s administration on dec 17, 2000, which should probably be dec 17, 1989. George H.W. Bush left office in 1993. Mans 3 (talk) 21:21, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request

This sentence from the second introductory paragraph is incorrect: On December 17, 2000, she left her position and joined the Bush administration as National Security Council as the Soviet and Eastern Europe Affairs Advisor to President George H. W. Bush during the dissolution of the Soviet Union and German reunification. The italicized portion refers to her time with the elder Bush in the late 80s/early 90s.

ADD LINK TO George W. Breslauer

Change Rice was hired by Stanford University as an assistant professor of political science (1981–1987). She was promoted to associate professor in 1987, a post she held until 1993. She was a specialist on the Soviet Union and gave lectures on the subject for the Berkeley-Stanford joint program led by UC Berkeley Professor George Breslauer in the mid-1980s.

Role in Nuclear Strategy Section

This section is kind of a mess. Some of the headings aren't headings, and most of it is about her time at Stanford Univiersity

Dissolution of the USSR and German reunification...?

What is this supposed to mean?

"On December 17, 2000, she left her position and joined the Bush administration as National Security Council as the Soviet and Eastern Europe Affairs Advisor to President George H. W. Bush during the dissolution of the Soviet Union and German reunification."

Both events preceded 2000 by a decade, and the Bush administration began in 2001, so this makes no sense to me. Kayvlim (talk) 15:41, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
