NEW HEADQUARTERS...... 50 2015 was a momentous year for Hudson Institute.

2015 was a momentous year for Hudson Institute. The Obama administration continued its retreat from American international leadership—and autocracies, rogue regimes, and terror networks continued to consolidate their gains across the world. So the Institute’s central mission became even more important: promoting robust U.S. global engagement and providing policymakers with sophisticated, timely counsel about how best to achieve a secure, free, and prosperous future. And our experts responded to this challenge with a vigor, visibility, and effectiveness rarely if ever matched in Hudson’s history.

On the single most consequential and contentious foreign policy SARAH MAY STERN KENNETH R. WEINSTEIN issue of 2015, the Iranian nuclear program, Senior Fellow Michael Chairman of the Board President and CEO Doran led the way. His groundbreaking analysis of the P5+1 negotiations demonstrated beyond doubt that the Obama Administration’s paramount goal was to restore Iran’s place in the “community of nations”—and that containing Tehran’s nuclear ambitions was a secondary consideration at best. Doran’s essay, MESSAGE FROM THE “Obama’s Secret Iran Strategy,” was an immediate sensation: downloaded by more than 220,000 readers; cited by leading elected officials and policymakers in every Western capital; dramatically CHAIRMAN AND recasting and buttressing opposition to the P5+1 deal in Congress; and, even now, continuing to shape bipartisan efforts to repair the damage that misguided agreement has done to American interests PRESIDENT and international security.

In response to the world’s gravest current humanitarian catastrophe, & CEO Senior Fellow Nina Shea took action. As Director of Hudson’s Center for Religious Freedom (CRF), Shea has long been a prominent voice on behalf of persecuted believers across the globe—especially Muslim minority groups, Kurds, Yazidis, and Chaldean and other Christian communities in the Middle East. But in 2015, with homicidal ISIS militants posing an immediate and existential threat to Christians in particular, CRF decided to take on a direct and practical mission: Shea designed and supervised an emergency airlift of Christian refugees from beleaguered frontline camps in Iraqi Kurdistan to asylum and safety in the Slovak Republic. That remarkable project was the focus of a special ABC News 20/20 report shortly before Christmas.

4 On perhaps the most important long-term geostrategic issue of the As the map on page 16 makes clear, Hudson is dramatically expanding day, China, Senior Fellow Michael Pillsbury led the way.

And hardly a day went by when someone from Hudson wasn’t being asked for advice by a leading member or senior committee staffer in the House and Senate. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) put it best: “When Hudson sends a scholar up to Capitol Hill—whether Sarah May Stern Kenneth R. Weinstein it’s for testimony in a formal committee hearing or just private Chairman of the Board President and CEO consultations—senators, congressmen, and their staff listen, because they know that Hudson Institute scholars have a deep, rich historical and analytical understanding of the issues.”

22 OUTREACH & GOVERNMENT RELATIONS GOVERNMENT RELATIONS PUBLICATIONS & BROADCAST Hudson experts provide lawmakers, executive branch officials, political candidates, and the broader Washington policy community with timely information, analysis, and practical recommendations on a wide range of pressing domestic and international issues. In 2015, the Institute was particularly active on Capitol Hill—both in small, private meetings and large, public committee hearings—as senior members of Congress and their top staffers wrestled with legislative and oversight challenges involving defense and foreign affairs, U.S. intelligence programs, transportation and energy, telecommunications policy, healthcare reform, illegal drugs and criminal justice, the federal budget and regulation, and trade and economics.

Institute fellows delivered formal congressional testimony on FCC reform and net neutrality; strategies to reduce violent crime and substance abuse; policymaking to counter anti-American propaganda; terror groups like ISIS and methods to aid the religious minorities they imperil; the future of Egypt; Pakistan’s nuclear program; and U.S. naval capabilities. When the Senate Armed Services Committee undertook its first major review of American global strategy and military doctrine in decades, the Committee’s chairman specifically requested testimony from Hudson’s Distinguished Scholar Walter Russell Mead and Bryan McGrath, deputy director of the Institute’s Center for American Seapower. Likewise, during the intense debate over the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran, Hudson’s experts played a crucial role in dissecting and challenging that accord’s specific provisions—and clarifying its broader significance within the Obama administration’s high-risk plan for long-term U.S. reengagement with Iran. Mead and Senior Fellows Michael Doran and Douglas Feith all provided testimony before House and Senate committees reviewing the P5+1 deal and current U.S. policy in the Middle East.

46 BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN MEMORIAM

Hudson mourns the loss of two invaluable colleagues and friends.

Our beloved friend and Hudson colleague Amy A. Kass joined the Institute in 2005 after a long and distinguished career as an award-winning teacher of the humanities at the University of Chicago.

At Hudson, Amy drew on the best of literature, philosophy, and song to illuminate and deepen our understanding of timeless moral questions. Amy understood that if we seek to become or to make better human beings, citizens, or charitable givers, more than cultivation of the mind is required. That work involves an engagement of the heart, as well—something best achieved through individual and collaborative contemplation of thoughtful and artfully conceived stories about the struggle for purpose and improvement amidst civic turmoil, moral confusion, or spiritual crisis.

As a proud and reflective practitioner of teaching, she will remain an indelible and inspiring presence to each of her many students, colleagues, and friends—and to AMY A. KASS readers of the two widely acclaimed anthologies she edited here at Hudson: Giving Well, 1940 – 2015 Doing Good: Readings for Thoughtful Philanthropists, and What So Proudly We Hail: The American Soul in Story, Speech and Song. Amy Kass taught us to be better people, better citizens, in a better nation. And she taught us well. Amy’s wisdom, friendship, unforgettably radiant smile, and mischievous sense of humor will be sorely missed.

William H. Schweitzer was a leading and universally admired figure in American law, government, and the public life of Washington, D.C. for many decades—and a much beloved friend and Trustee of Hudson Institute. He joined our board in March 2011 out of deep concern over the direction of our country, and served with distinction on both our nominating and governance committees. He believed in our scholars and our mission and always sought to broaden Hudson’s network and influence.

Bill began his distinguished career as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia. After joining Baker Hostetler’s Washington office in 1973, Bill helped create, build, and lead one of America’s elite practices in federal election, campaign finance, securities, antitrust, white-collar criminal, and—perhaps most famously—sports law, serving for many years as lead Washington counsel to both the American League and Major League Baseball as a whole.

BILL SCHWEITZER At Hudson, Bill will always be remembered—and most deeply missed—for his 1944 – 2015 unfailing loyalty, generosity, gentle wit, extraordinary sweetness of temperament, and unpretentious but undeniable brilliance and talent. Hudson could not have had truer and more valuable colleague and advisor than Bill Schweitzer. All of us will miss Bill, his gentle demeanor, his stories about baseball and Capitol Hill, and his deep concern and profound gratitude for our nation.
