After three, years as president of American University here, Joseph Sisco is returning to international affairs. The former Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs who retired from the diplomatic service in 1976 to take the university post, has resigned his academic post and now seeks to be a part-time chancellor at the university and devote more time to speaking and writing on foreign affairs. Sisco was for 10 years a top U.S. official specialist on the Middle East and is credited with being a major architect of the Rogers Plan that called for Israel’s withdrawal to its pre-1967 borders except for “insubstantial” changes.
