Washington, D.C. — Today, the American Security Project (ASP) announced that ASP Chairman of the Board and former US Senator Gary Hart has been appointed Vice Chair of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), which advises the Secretary of Homeland Security on crucial national security issues. In response, ASP President Vice Admiral Lee Gunn, USN (Ret.) released the following statement:

“We congratulate ASP Board Chairman and former Senator Gary Hart on his appointment as Vice Chair of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). His wealth of experience will undoubtedly prove invaluable to Secretary Napolitano as she seeks to address many of our most pressing national security issues. Between his experience as a former Senator and a Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Chair of the Hart-Rudman Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, Co-chair of the Council on Foreign Relations’ task force on Homeland Security, as well as the Commission on U.S Policy Toward Russia, Senator Hart has proven himself to be visionary about the challenges facing the United States both at home and abroad. We look forward to continuing to work with Senator Hart to build a constructive national security dialogue and produce ideas that will elevate the debate on these vital issues.”

The American Security Project (ASP) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy research and education initiative dedicated to fostering knowledge and understanding of a range of national security and foreign policy issues. It is organized around the belief that honest public discussion of national security requires an informed citizenry–one that understands the dangers and opportunities of the twenty-first century and the spectrum of available responses. ASP was formed to help Americans–from opinion leaders to the general public–understand how national security issues relate directly to them, and to explain challenges and threats in a way that spurs constructive action.
