On March 1 the Center for Defense Information welcomed its new President, Mr. Bruce G. Blair. Mr. Blair takes the helm from retired U.S. Senator Dale Bumpers, whose steady hand guided the Center as it made the transition from the 20th to the 21st Century.

Mr. Blair brings to the job first-hand knowledge of the U.S. military and how it works, having served in the U.S. Air Force for four years following his graduation from the University of Illinois. He, like his predecessor, brings another highly complementary dimension to this invaluable base of experience: over a decade of intense study and research in what may be the two most important continuing national security question of the 21st century – the future of nuclear weapons and the future of Russia.

This Defense Monitor also features a letter from Mr. Blair outlining his objectives for CDI as well as a capsule biography of Mr. Blair.
