Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
September 11, 2006, will mark the fifth
anniversary of a very tragic day in American history. During the
past five years, the federal government has taken numerous measures
intended to prevent a repeat of those horrible terrorist attacks.
The Heritage Foundation intends to grade the government on its
progress in protecting American citizens by issuing a National
Security Report Card in September. Throughout the course of the
year, we will host a series of events designed to provide input for
the final report card. Our first discussion will address how well
the Senate, House, and Administration have done at balancing
security and civil liberties. Join us as we examine this critical
issue.
