ANTI-FASCIST FORCES THWART POWELL PLAN news.scotsman.com Powell Withdraws from Medal Ceremony By Laura Elston, Deputy Court Correspondent, PA News US Secretary of State Colin Powell has pulled out of an award ceremony he was due to attend today. The American war veteran was to pick up a medal honouring his achievements in strengthening transatlantic ties, but was forced to cancel at the last minute. The US Embassy in London was unable to confirm whether the decision was taken for reasons of security. Mr Powell, one of the high profile members of President George W Bush’s entourage for his state visit to Britain, had been expected to meet the Prince of Wales to collect the medal. Former Senator George Mitchell, who was hailed for his work chairing the peace process panel which led to the Good Friday Agreement, was still expected to attend the event at Senate House in London. He is one of a handful of Americans set to receive the first ever Marshall medals. The ceremony is being held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Marshall Scholarships – academic awards set up by the British Government to thank the United States for its post Second World War recovery programme, the Marshall Plan.
