What Would You Do with $500M for a New Science Program?
Initial Program Planning for the New NAS Gulf of Mexico Program
In April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, killing 11 workers and injuring 17. The accident spilled approximately 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, causing significant impacts on the Gulf environment and people. As part of a settlement agreement resolving criminal charges against the BP and Transocean, the National Academy of Sciences has been charged to establish a new $500 million program on human health and environmental protection in the Gulf of Mexico. The program is to focus on “human health and environmental protection in the Gulf of Mexico and on the United States’ outer continental shelf, including issues relating to offshore oil drilling and hydrocarbon production and transportation.” The program will work in three broad areas: environmental monitoring, research and development, and education and training. This lunchtime talk will examine the requirements of the new program, discuss how the program will be planned, and provide some first glimpses at how the program might define its mission and goals.

"Entrenched Resistance to Rethinking Human Rights in the US Government’s Foreign Development Policy" with Dr. Chloe Schwenke, Vice President of Freedom House.
While human rights are by no means the only normative lens through which to frame U.S. foreign assistance, this approach has the most traction based on the strong existing architecture of international human rights laws, declarations, and treaties. That being said, for most in government, human rights are perceived only as prohibitions, rules, and political obligations – the stuff of diplomacy. This talk will explore a different side of human rights in the context of development – the U.S. Government’s appropriate role in fostering the sustainable expansion of human agency, freedoms, and opportunities, leading to a more universal realization of human well-being. Whether the U.S. Government is motivated or even competent to grasp this larger vision is very much in doubt.
Dr. Chloe Schwenke is a 2002 Ph.D. graduate of the School of Public Policy, and is currently vice president of global programs at Freedom House. In this role she oversees Freedom House’s emergency assistance funds, including the Lifeline Fund, which supports embattled civil society organizations, and Dignity for All, which supports to LGBTI advocates under threat. She will also oversee new global programs on freedom of expression, Internet freedom and religious freedom. Prior to this appointment, Chloe served as an Obama Administration appointee at the U.S. Agency for International Development both as the Senior Advisor for LGBT Policy globally, and as the Senior Advisor on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance for sub-Saharan Africa. As USAID formulated their new strategy on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance, Chloe provided leadership on embracing a development-focused vision of human rights that concentrates not only on protecting human rights, but also on expanding capabilities, opportunities, and freedoms. Chloe’s career as a development practitioner and academic extends over three decades of experience, including 15 years of work based in Africa and Asia. Her career is characterized by her innovative accomplishments in advancing international respect for the human rights of vulnerable and marginalized persons, advancing gender equality, and facilitating the emergence of ethical, democratic leaders throughout the developing world. She is also distinguished by her strong record in publications, public speaking, and advocacy.
Light refreshments will be served.

Steven Bucci, Director, Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, The Heritage Foundation
Steven P. Bucci, who served America for three decades as an Army Special Forces officer and top Pentagon official, is director of the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation.
Bucci’s research and writing at Heritage have focused on cyber security, special operations and defense support to civil authorities. He joined the think tank as senior research fellow for defense and homeland security in April 2012, and was promoted to director of Allison Center in December 2012. He is in charge of the group of issues that fall under the Protect America initiative.
Bucci previously was a lead consultant to IBM on cyber security policy. He published numerous articles on related issues and regularly contributed to “Security Debrief,” a leading national security blog. He is a sought-after speaker at conferences on cyber security.
As commander of 3rd Battalion, 5th Special Forces, Bucci led deployments to eastern Africa, South Asia and the Persian Gulf -- including Operation Desert Thunder in 1998 in response to Saddam Hussein’s threats to violate the no-fly zone over Iraq.
Bucci was a seasoned leader in the 82nd Airborne as well as 5th & 7th Special Forces when, in July 2001, he assumed the duties of military assistant to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
Little over nine weeks later, Bucci witnessed the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon. He worked directly for Rumsfeld daily for five and a half years. He continued to serve the defense secretary in a succession of posts until retiring from the Army in 2005 with the rank of colonel and stayed on at the Pentagon as a civilian appointee with the title of deputy assistant secretary of defense.
Bucci’s military and government service makes him a recognized expert in the interagency process and defense of U.S. interests, particularly with regard to critical infrastructure and what he calls the productive interplay of government and the private sector.
Bucci, who grew up in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., graduated in 1977 from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point with a bachelor of science degree in national security. He received his master’s and doctorate degrees in international relations in 1986 and 1987 from the University of South Carolina. He also is a graduate of the U.S. Army War College, the Hellenic Army War College in Greece and the Senior Seminar of the Department of State.
Bucci completed graduate studies, language training and regional orientation in the Balkans. He taught European studies, foreign policy and international relations at the JFK Special Warfare Center. He conducted many development and anti-drug missions across Latin America, served as defense attaché in Sarajevo and became the first resident defense attaché in Tirana, Albania.
As the War on Terror unfolded, Secretary Rumsfeld dispatched Bucci to lead a team of 25 military experts to Baghdad to assist the Coalition Provisional Authority. After his retirement from the Army in 2005, he continued to serve as staff director of the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Defense.
Bucci’s next assignment was as deputy assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense and defense support to civil authorities, responsible for overseeing policy issues involving the Defense Domains (air, land, maritime and cyber), National Guard domestic operational issues, domestic counterterrorism, readiness exercises and response to natural and manmade disasters. He was the primary civilian overseer of U.S. Northern Command.
As part of IBM’s Public Sector Team, Bucci was a top strategist in the global computer giant’s cyber security campaign, his advice sought by several major federal departments. He was a member of the Cyber Coordinating Committee and an original deputy director of the IBM Institute for Advanced Security.
Bucci is an adjunct professor of leadership at George Mason University and an associate professor of terrorism studies and cyber security policy at Long Island University. He serves on the advisory board of the MIT Geospatial Data Center and is an advisor to the Prince of Wales/Prince Edward Fellowship program at MIT and Harvard.
