We're deeply honored to have them join FPRI's Board of Trustees," commented Rollie Flynn, President of FPRI.

"That we have attracted to our board six people so highly qualified in the public, private and philanthropic sectors of our society is a tribute to the appeal of our non-partisan, thoughtful, quality research into the issues confronting American foreign policy." Robert L. Freedman, Chairman of the FPRI Board of Trustees
