Invitation to CFR Meetings on the Hill
The Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy program engages members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate and their staffs on a wide range of international and economic issues. It offers a distinctive, nonpartisan forum that brings together policymakers with CFR fellows and experts who are leaders in their fields. The program offers CFR experts to the Hill for briefings, roundtable discussions, and to deliver congressional testimony. It also produces eNewsletters for congressional staff.
