WASHINGTON (May 3, 2007) - The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) announced that Dan Morgan, former staff writer for the Washington Post, has joined the organization as a Transatlantic Fellow. Morgan will work with GMF's Economic Policy program conducting transatlantic comparative research on agriculture, with particular emphasis on the U.S. Farm Bill and the EU's Common Agriculture Policy.

"We are very pleased and honored that Dan Morgan has joined our fellowship program.  His experience and considerable influence in agriculture policy will benefit GMF as we further expand our Economic Policy program," said GMF President Craig Kennedy.

Morgan's portfolio includes more than 30 years as a staff writer for the Washington Post, where he spent time as a correspondent in Europe and released his best-selling book Merchants of Grain, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1980. He is also the winner of the Dirksen Award for his series Power and the Purse in which he detailed the operations of the Congressional Appropriations Committee. He was nominated for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for public service on a series he co-authored entitled Harvesting Cash, which outlined the waste and abuse in the farm subsidy program.

Previous assignments include six years as a foreign correspondent in Germany and central Europe, during which he covered the 1968 Soviet invasion of the former Czechoslovakia and the 1970 Polish workers uprising that foreshadowed the Solidarity movement.

The Economic Policy program is a GMF initiative that promotes cooperation between the United States and Europe on domestic and international economic policies as vital instruments of global prosperity, especially for the poor and those affected by shifts in the world economy.

The German Marshall Fund of the United States (www.gmfus.org) is a nonpartisan American public policy and grantmaking institution dedicated to promoting greater cooperation and understanding between the United States and Europe. Founded in 1972 through a gift from Germany as a permanent memorial to the Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition to its headquarters in Washington, DC, GMF has six offices in Europe: Berlin, Bratislava, Paris, Brussels, Belgrade, and Ankara.
