Interim Chief Takes Over U.S. Chemical Agency

A senior official with the U.S. Chemical Materials Agency has been named interim head of its sister project, the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives program, The Pueblo Chieftain reported today (see GSN, Jan. 5).

Kevin Flamm will lead the agency that is developing neutralization facilities to eliminate chemical weapons stored at depots in Colorado and Kentucky.

Flamm replaces Mike Parker, who until this year oversaw both weapons disposal programs.  Parker is retiring from government service next week, after relinquishing leadership of the Chemical Materials Agency in January.

Flamm previously served as program manager for the elimination of chemical weapons at the Chemical Materials Agency, which manages incineration of weapons at several plants.

A permanent ACWA chief is expected to be named by late May (John Norton, The Pueblo Chieftain, March 23).
