9/11 Public Discourse Project Update |
|
On Monday, August 2nd, the 9/11 Public Discourse Project (PDP) will hold the first of two panel discussions on Foreign Policy. The event will focus specifically on U.S. policy towards Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Please click here to read an excerpt from the 9/11 Commission Report on foreign policy recommendations for the above mentioned countries. Of greatest importance in these areas is eliminating terrorist sanctuaries while maintaining, or preferably, improving relations with the leaders and citizens of those countries. Terrorism is a global ill, and it is only through vigourous international cooperation and dedication that it will be combated. The distinguished group of panelists will likely discuss these, and many other issues.

Monday’s panel will be moderated by former 9/11 Commission Vice Chairman Lee H. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton is currently president and director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Prior to serving on the Commission, Mr. Hamilton served for 34 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he chaired the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, as well as numerous other committees and subcommittees. His vast wealth of knowledge on international relations and foreign policy will provide for an informative and spirited discussion.
