"The threat posed by the potential for nuclear, technical and know-how proliferation continues to shape the post-Cold War agenda, and therefore demands that we not only remain committed to understanding the most important questions associated with this threat, but also to finding practical solutions for them."

Susan Eisenhower, President of the Eisenhower Group, is best known for her work on U.S.-Russian relations and international security issues. She is a Distinguished Fellow of the Eisenhower Institute, where she served as both President and Chairman.

In the spring of 2000, Ms. Eisenhower was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Energy to a blue ribbon task force, the Baker-Cutler Commission, to evaluate U.S.-funded nonproliferation programs in Russia, and since that time she has also served as an advisor to another U.S. Energy Department study. She also serves as an Academic Fellow of the International Peace and Security program of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Ms. Eisenhower has received three honorary doctorates and a number of other awards for her work in U.S.-Russian relations.

Ms. Eisenhower has spent more than 20 years of her career on foreign policy issues, though she came to the field from the business community. A onetime consultant to IBM, American Express and Loral Space Systems, she was appointed in 1998 to the National Academy of Sciences' standing committee on international security and arms control.

Ms. Eisenhower is an author of two bestseller books: Breaking Free and Mrs. Ike. She has edited three collected volumes on regional security issues and written hundreds of op-eds and articles for major newspapers and other national publications.
