Defense Writers Group
17 September 2024
Moderator: Good morning everyone, and welcome to a truly special edition of this Defense Writers Group. We have as our guests two people -- since I’m no longer a New York Times correspondent I can express opinions. I think we have with us today two of the most important public officials I’ve ever met in my entire career that are dedicated to service and keeping our nation safe.
Jane Harman is Chair, and Eric Edelman is Vice Chair of the Congressional Commission on the National Defense Strategy.
A small note, this is Eric’s fourth visit to the Defense Writers Group and he told me it’s his last, so we better enjoy it.
Edelman: No, it’s not my last Defense Writers Group. It’s the last Defense Commission I’m going to do. I’ve done four of those too. I’m happy to come back here.
