NEW WEBSITE FOR NATIONAL SECURITY STUDY GROUP

The Department of Defense today announced an Internet website for the National Security Study Group [link no longer available] (NSSG), now known as the Hart-Rudman Commission after its two co-chairmen, former senators Gary Hart and Warren Rudman.

Available at www.nssg.gov [link no longer available], the website will provide public access on the process of developing a national security strategy for the 21st century.

The site offers several features, including: a review of the NSSG charter and history, a databank on advisory board members and professional staff, a reports section, an events calendar, and a variety of ways for the general public to comment on and contribute to the work of the study group. The extensive interactive features of the website are unique in that this is the first time that a government-sponsored study has maintained such a direct connection with the American public during its drafting process.
