Now more than ever, the United States needs a missile defense. As Baker Spring notes in our book, "Priorities for the President," the United States would be helpless if Iran, Iraq or North Korea (all of which have robust missile programs) lobs just one missile over the ocean toward a U.S. city. Your generous contribution will help The Heritage Foundation in its effort to make missile defense a reality. (Please take a moment to review the hard work our analysts have already put into this issue.)
All gifts to The Heritage Foundation are tax-deductible. Basic Membership is $25 a year. You will receive our quarterly newsletter, periodic briefings on critical issues, and the opportunity to participate in opinion surveys on vital policy debates throughout the year. ******** Newt Gingrich Former Speaker of the House and Member U.S. Commission on National Security in the 21st Century HOSTED BY: Edwin Feulner The Heritage Foundation On September 11, 2001 most Americans' understanding of national security radically changed. For the first time in sixty years, America was attacked on its own soil, and it became clear that the nation's critical infrastructure must be protected from terrorists. The country must be prepared to react to nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks from non-state agents; organized computer attacks against vital networks; destruction or disruption of critical infrastructure such as power plants; and attempts to disrupt the U.S. financial system or financial flows. But while the term "Homeland Defense" has seemingly inserted itself overnight into the national lexicon, numerous experts in the national security community have been attempting for years to raise awareness of the need to prioritize domestic security needs. Only months ago, the U.S. Commission on National Security in the 21st Century issued its final report calling for increased security measures on the national homefront. Please join us as former Commission member and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich examines the conclusions of the Commission in light of September 11 and looks forward to what America must do in the coming months to secure the homeland.
