    The National Ministries Division in Louisville has announced that the 
position occupied by the Rev. Barbara Green in the Presbyterian Washington 
Office is being eliminated as of July 20.

During that time she has established a solid reputation as an expert on 
international arms control, the Persian Gulf, Africa, post-war Europe and 
other peace issues.  She is a recipient of the Presbyterian Peace 
Fellowship's Peaceseeker Award. 
    The elimination of Green's position is part of $50,000 in National 
Ministries Division budget cuts for the Presbyterian Washington Office.
