ADVISORY BOARD

Lee H. Hamilton
A leading figure on foreign policy, intelligence, and national security, Lee Hamilton served as Co-Chair of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States—The 9/11 Commission.

Lee Hamilton founded the Center on Congress at Indiana University and served as its Director. He also served as President and Director of the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. Prior to becoming Director of the Wilson Center, Lee Hamilton served for thirty-four years as a Congressman from Indiana. During his tenure, he was both Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and chaired the Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East. Lee Hamilton also was Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Select Committee to Investigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran.

John McCain
John McCain was the senior U.S. Senator from Arizona.

We mourn the passing of Senator John McCain, who served on the Advisory Board of Terror Free Tomorrow since our founding, and lent his unwavering support for fourteen years. He served, as he had the country, regardless of political consideration or partisan advantage. We will miss him dearly.
