The Associated Press Comment on this story
LOS ANGELES - Former U.S. Information Agency director Charles Z. Wick has died. He was 90.

Wick's family said in a statement released Tuesday through the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation that Wick died of natural causes Sunday at his Los Angeles home.

President Reagan nominated his longtime friend as director of the USIA, and he was confirmed in June 1981. He served in that post until January 1989.

USIA, a foreign affairs agency within the executive branch, was integrated into the State Department in 1999.
