IRS990/Desc0PSA's Congressional Partnership Program is a unique program funded by corporate sponsors Carnegie Corporation of New York, Venable, LLP and Intel, and developed exclusively for congressional staff. Participants attend off-the-record events with former senior officials to learn their perspectives on current foreign policy and national security problems. CPP students also receive negotiation training, engage in expert-led crisis simulations, and complete a project requiring them to work in bipartisan groups to formulate common-ground policy approaches to a current, relevant problem. The CPP program includes Speaker Series Dinners, two classes of the Congressional Partnership Program, and the Solution Series events. In January 2019 the Speaker Series kicked off when Frances Townsend spoke to CPP alumni on the importance of bipartisanship in foreign policy, the return of great power conflict, and the benefits of improving cyber capabilities for American national security. This alumni event enjoyed wide attendance, with nearly one-hundred current and former Congressional staffers from both sides of the aisle joining Ms. Townsend for an engaging discussion. In March, PSA hosted the Honorable Mike Rogers for a second Speaker Series discussion focusing on cybersecurity and cooperative efforts within the intelligence community. PSA continued to engage its CPP Alumni with Speaker Series dinner focused on artificial intelligence and the offensive capabilities, defensive challenges, and operational difficulties AI may bring. This event featured Dr. Reginald Brothers, former Under Secretary of the Science and Technology Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security, and former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Research at the Department of Defense; Dr. Jason Matheny, Executive Director at the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University, former Assistant Director of National Intelligence, and former Director at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity; Ronak D. Desai, PSA Board Member and Attorney at Paul Hastings, as moderator. PSA's first 2019 session of the Congressional Partnership Program began in May with Orientation, followed by the strategic negotiation and communication training seminar presented by Randy Kutz, CPP alumnus and founder of Negotiation Training 360. CPP participants gathered for a weekend outside of Washington to hear presentations from Ambassador Bob King, former US Special Envoy for North Korea Human Rights Policy, Vice Admiral Michael Franken, former Deputy Commander of AFRICOM, and Carol Giacomo, member of the New York Times Editorial Board & former Diplomatic Correspondent for Reuters. Congressional staff also took part in a National Security Council simulation at the retreat. Participants assumed various roles on the National Security Council and debated solutions to a crisis scenario in the South China Sea. The simulation was coordinated by Robert Sheldon, a CPP alumnus and the head of Technology Strategy for Public Sector at CrowdStrike. The CPP was rounded off featuring dinners with former Congressman Jim Kolbe who retired as Chairman of the Foreign Operations Subcommittee for the House Appropriations Committee and FBLI Special Agent In-Charge, Peter Ahearn. Mr. Kolbe's discussion focused on his experience as Chairman and his reflections of how the dynamics of bipartisan cooperation have changed over the decades. Mr. Ahearn's discussion largely touched on how the FBI supports national security, with specific relevance to counter terrorism. The second session of PSA's flagship CPP began in September. The cohort took on the roles of countries negotiating a trade deal during the redesigned strategic negotiation and communication seminar administered by Dr. Mark Habeeb, a Professor at Georgetown University. Additionally, PSA hosted multiple dinner discussions, giving our CPP participants the opportunity to hear from professionals in the fields of national security and foreig

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Nuclear Security - : In 2019 Partnership for a Secure America (PSA) concluded a series of activities in support of a 2018 grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in partnership with the Arms Control Association (ACA), the focus of which was supporting bipartisan congressional engagement with the issue of nuclear security. In 2019 PSA held an off-the-record roundtable led by former Ambassador John Negroponte and former Senator Sam Nunn for current Members of Congress on the outcome of the Hanoi Summit and options for application of the Nunn/Luger Cooperative Threat Reduction Act for North Korea. Members of both parties attended and engaged in a lively discussion about how Congress can best approach the threat posed by this nuclear rogue state. In April 2019, PSA published a joint bipartisan statement with the Arms Control Association. The statement illuminates the danger that a lack of knowledge on nuclear security issues poses, and it lays out a plan to improve awareness of these issues to government officials and secure the global stockpile of nuclear materials. The statement describes the potential devastation which a nuclear terrorist attack would cause and lays out recommendations to prevent such a catastrophe: 1) The Office of Management and Budget should prepare an annual report summarizing the US budget for nuclear security and nonproliferation programs. 2) A blue ribbon, bipartisan congressional commission should be established to develop a comprehensive strategy to prevent, counter, and respond to nuclear and radiological terrorism. 3) A program of activities should be designed to prevent nuclear theft and trafficking in North Korea 4) Periodic hearings should be held with government and non-governmental nuclear security experts to examine U.S. nuclear terrorism prevention strategy and spending. 5) A sustained effort should be pursued to promote a mandatory international system of monitoring, reporting, and accountability in all countries with nuclear and radiological materials

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Capitol Leaders Negotiation Program - In 2019, with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and American University College of Law, PSA continued its innovative partnership with Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiations (PON), creating and running a program on negotiation training for congressional staff. In August, PSA held the first fundamentals class of the Harvard, American University, & PSA: Program on Legislative Negotiation. The event was held at the Library of Congress with special thanks to the Kluge Center. Through lectures and hands on simulations, this class focused on professional negotiation skills and strategies with specific relevance to the legislative process. The training was led by Harvard's Brian Mandell and Bruce Patton; it successfully brought 42 Democrats and Republicans together for two days of training and relationship building. The second fundamentals course class will be held in January 2020. This class will be jointly led by Harvard and American University faculty.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0The Conflict Briefing Series is a joint effort by Partnership for a Secure America (PSA) and the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). The series, started in 2012, is an educational program designed to provide congressional staff with opportunities to engage leading experts and fellow Capitol Hill staffers in bipartisan forums. The program aims to build cross-party relationships, encourage bipartisan dialogue, and equip staff with new perspectives on critical issues in the international conflict resolution and prevention field. PSA & the United States Institute of Peace hosted 10 Congressional Staff briefings in 2019. Our first one in May featured General John Nicholson (Ret.) former Commander of US Forces-Afghanistan from 2016- 2018. Gen. Nicholson was joined alongside Andrew Wilder, Vice President for Asia Programs at USIP for a discussion on the status of U.S. diplomatic and military engagement in relation to the Afghanistan peace process. In May and later in November, PSA & USIP organized briefings on the political transition in Sudan. Speakers were Susan Stigant, Director of Africa Programs at USIP, and Joshua Meservey, Senior Policy Analyst for Africa and the Middle East at The Heritage Foundation. PSA Board of Directors member Graeme Bannerman was the moderator. The first briefing came at an appropriate time as longtime Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir had just been ousted the month prior. Jacob Stokes, a Senior Policy Analyst in the China Program at USIP; and Andrea Kendall-Taylor, a Senior Fellow and Director of the Transatlantic Security Program at the Center for a New American Security lead the discussion with a packed room of congressional staff eager to hear about the strategic relationship between Moscow and Bejing and how it affects U.S. strength and security. Laurel Miller, Director of the International Crisis Group's Asia Program and former Deputy U.S. Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Scott Worden, Director of Afghanistan and Central Asia Programs at USIP lead the part one briefing on how Congress should think about post-war Afghanistan. Michael Phelan, a Senior Advisor on Africa and Asia at USIP moderated. The second briefing focused on the Afghanistan negotiations, with Luke Coffey, Director of the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation; and Johnny Walsh, a Senior Expert on Afghanistan at USIP focusing on the Afghan peace process, as speakers; Mr. Phelan moderated again. The third and final briefing was on U.S.-Afghan relations post-war, featuring Mr. Worden; and Ahmad Majidyar, a Middle East and South Asia Analyst at the Middle East Institute with a focus on Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan; Mr. Phelan moderated. For the last briefing of 2019, PSA & USIP held a briefing with Frank Aum and Dr. Jung Pak on the current state of denuclearization and the future of U.S.-relations with North Korea. Keith Luse moderated.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1In 2019 the Open Society Policy Center awarded a grant to PSA to support policy advocacy briefings on North Korea. In July, PSA held a Hill briefing featuring Keith Luse, former Senior East Asia Policy Advisor for the late Senator Richard G. Lugar on the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and current Executive Director of the National Committee on North Korea, and Richard Johnson, senior director for fuel cycle and verification at the Nuclear Threat Initiative. About 80 Congressional staff attended this briefing, and the discussion focused on sanctions and how Congress can engage in the diplomatic process with North Korea. Later in July, a dinner featured Frank Aum, former senior advisor for North Korea in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Ambassador Joseph Yun, former Special Envoy On North Korea. A bipartisan group of 10 senior-level Congressional staff attended this dinner. The conversation began with outlining the challenges in the diplomatic process so far and where we are currently at in negotiations with North Korea. Aum and Ambassador Yun ended the night with some recommendations for Congressional involvement in diplomatic negotiations, including a CODEL in the DPRK.
