Thank you for being a part of this effort to share our community’s vision with our nation’s leaders. We started the annual Fly-In more than three decades ago, and in that time, our Fly-In has become one of the nation’s oldest and largest annual regional trips to the nation’s capital. It is vital in helping the federal government understand the needs of our local community. We often talk about collaboration at the DDC, and we take great pride in how business, government, academia, and the non-profit sector come together to support our region and “speak with one voice.” We see the Fly-In as this collaborative idea come to life. When 150 community leaders converge on Washington, it sends a powerful message. As you know, the Fly-In is more than just a show of support for the community’s interests. We believe the Fly-In offers attendees an opportunity to learn more about Washington. The annual Capitol Hill reception on Wednesday, April 3rd is a chance to mingle with members of the delegation and their staffs, as well as other government officials and business leaders with an interest in Ohio.

  • Nuclear Weapons Officials Agree to Pursue RRW Strategy
    www.nnsa.doe.gov NEWS NEWS U.S. Department of Energy www.nnsa.doe.gov For Immediate Release NNSA Public Affairs December 1, 2006 (202) 586-7371 Nuclear Weapons Officials Agree to Pursue RRW Strategy Reliable Replacement Warhead will enable long-term confidence in a smaller, safer, more secure nuclear weapons stockpile, without underground nuclear testing WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senior officials at the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today said they have determined that the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) is feasible as a strategy for sustaining the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile for the long-term without underground nuclear testing. “The Reliable Replacement Warhead will provide means to ensure the long-term reliability of the stockpile and enable us to establish a safer and more secure nuclear deterrent,” said NNSA Administrator Linton Brooks. “It will give us the tools we need to build on the President’s vision of maintaining the smallest nuclear stockpile that is consistent with national security requirements.” The Nuclear Weapons Council (NWC), a working group of senior officials from the Defense Department and NNSA that oversees nuclear weapons policy, made the decision after reviewing competing designs for a replacement nuclear warhead for the nation’s sea-based nuclear deterrent. They were submitted by the nation’s two nuclear weapons design laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The NWC launched the competition more than a year ago to determine whether a replacement warhead could enable long-term confidence in the performance of the current stockpile without a return to underground nuclear testing.
