CONCLUDING REMARKS
Join us for the Fourth Annual Consortium for Homeland Defense and Security in America to be held this year at The Heritage Foundation. As you can see from our agenda, two days of fast-paced conversation and hard-hitting reviews of America’s most pressing homeland security policy dilemmas and research problems are planned. Plus, you won’t want to miss a special screening of 33 Minutes, a Heritage production on protecting America in the new missile age.
