Keep your eye on these Capitol Hill staffers, all of whom were selected for
the 2011 Spring Congressional Fellowship Program at the Partnership for a
Secure America (PSA), a centrist, security-minded policy organization here
in Washington.
Founded by
former U.S. Representative Lee Hamilton (D-IN) and U.S. Senator Warren Rudman (R-NH), PSA is advised by former
Democratic national security advisors Zbigniew Brzezinski and Samuel
Berger, as well as former GOP Senators Howard Baker and Slade
Gorton. Among the recent additions to its board are former Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright and former
Defense Secretary William Cohen.
The new Congressional fellows will participate in a
program to help them network and interact with top experts and senior Obama
administration officials. This is the fourth session of the fellows program.
"This highly selective program is for Congressional
staff interested in generating dialogue and developing the skills and
relationships required to advance bipartisanship on national security and
foreign policy issues," PSA will say in its forthcoming press release. "Through
training, networking, and interaction with top leaders in these fields, this
unique program aims to build a ‘next generation' of foreign affairs and
national security experts equipped to respect differences, build common ground,
and achieve US national interests."
