eign Relations Committee

new duties later this month as direc-
tor of Latin American affairs an the
National Security Council.
Described as "a solid, experienced
professional." Mr. Pgrry? will work
under Raymond F. Burghardt, the
senior director, as an Administration
point man in the politically sensitive
area of Latin American affairs.
Mr. Perry succeeds ? Philip G.
Hughes. a Foreign Service profes-
sional who has moved to the State De-
partment in the area of political and
multilateral affairs.
Although Mr. Lugar has differed
somewhat with President Reagan on
foreign policy matters, Mr. Perry is
expected to "work hard on behalf of
the President's objectives" in Latin
America, according to it Security
Council staff member.
Another predecessor in that job,
