WASHINGTON (December 19) – The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) today announces that Senator Richard G. Lugar will join GMF as a Senior Transatlantic Fellow after the Senator leaves the U.S. Senate in January 2013.”
“It is an honor to welcome Senator Lugar to GMF,” said GMF President Craig Kennedy. “He is a distinguished lawmaker whose service in the United States Senate is greatly admired around the globe. His expertise on international affairs and national security will be a tremendous asset to GMF’s work.”
At the end of this term, Richard Lugar will leave the U.S. Senate as the most senior Republican in that body and the longest-serving Indiana lawmaker. Respected globally as an international statesman and leader on nuclear disarmament, Lugar is the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and twice served as that committee’s chairman.
The forthcoming Lugar Institute for Diplomacy and Congress will work to change the way the United States Congress relates to the international community by improving communication and understanding between the Washington diplomatic corps and Congress.
