The American Security Project will host a lunchtime discussion:

A Conversation with Deputy Assistant Secretary for Space and Defense Policy Frank Rose: 

 On Missile Defense and European Security

June 25, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Moderated by: Brigadier General Stephen A. Cheney, USMC (Ret.)

CEO, American Security Project

 This discussion will be on the record

Political distortions of foreign policy and defense issues have been commonplace since the 1960 presidential election hung on the mythical “missile gap.”  This current presidential election cycle is no different.  Missile Defense has become part of the political landscape.  A discussion of the facts and the effectiveness of missile defense systems are often lacking.  Join us for a dose of missile defense reality from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Frank Rose.

The event will take place at:

1100 New York Ave, NW Washington DC

Suite 710W – Conference Room E

Lunch refreshments will be served

The discussion will begin promptly at 12:30.  Please arrive by 12:00 for registration.

Please RSVP by June 22 to events@americansecurityproject.org
