Keep your eye on these Capitol Hill staffers, all of whom were selected for
the 2011 Fall 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 PSA Congressional Fellows will participate in a program that will
allow them to network and interact with top experts and senior Obama
administration officials. This is the fifth session of the fellows program.
"[T]he program brings together Republican and
Democratic staff to develop 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.
