The Fiscal Crisis Facing America and Politics As one of the original founders of the famed Concord Coalition, Warren Rudman helped sound the alarm in the 1990s about the consequences of federal budget deficits and unsustainable entitlement programs. Today, he shares his legendary grasp of the data speaking passionately about the hard choices ahead for the Obama Administration as they address the economic challenges facing the country. Rudman explains how individuals and organizations can take action, make their representatives accountable and how to build a sound economy for future generations. International Terrorism:The Threat to America Senator Rudman was Co-chairman of the National Security Study Group also known as the Hart/Rudman Commission. It was created in 1998 by the President of the United States to examine America's security apparatus as we enter the 21st century. Senator Rudman addresses the findings of the Commission that the U.S. was totally unprepared to deal with terrorist acts against our homeland, the underlying reasons for terrorist acts against the U.S. and the mechanism to diminish that risk. In the spring immediately preceding September 11, 2001, the Commission accurately predicted that there would be a terrorist attack against America causing large numbers of casualties amongst innocent civilians. At that time, the Commission proposed a plan to reorganize our homeland security which became the basis for President Bush's Homeland Security Department. In his speech, Senator Rudman takes the audience through the threat of weapons of mass destruction, the role of intelligence in prevention, and the need to change and expand the role of "first responders" in local and state government. He also deals with the issue of cyber-security, which is of great concern to many businesses. Corporate Governance and Its Impact on Independent Directors Senator Rudman served on the Conference Board's distinguished blue ribbon Commission on Public Trust which published three reports covering a number of key issues with regard to corporate governance. Drawing from this experience as well as his service over the last ten years on a number of corporate boards, Senator Rudman discusses the role of independent directors and the impact of federal and regulatory changes in corporate governance.
