On behalf of the Council, Mr. Bush and MS. EDIE FRASER, SENIOR CONSULTANT to DIVERSIFIED SEARCH – Washington, DC will honor Senator Feinstein with the Council's International Public Service Award in recognition of the Senator's exemplary "Distinguished National Intelligence and Security Leadership".

Senator Feinstein stated: "As Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I'm often asked: 'Are we safer since 9/11?' The answer is yes. Our 16 different intelligence agencies have made strong progress. Stovepipes are down, intelligence is streamlined between departments, and we have better analysis. We have a Director of National Intelligence, a National Counterterrorism Center and an intelligence division at the FBI dedicated to preventing terrorism before it happens. This has made a real difference and saved lives. The Senate Intelligence Committee has greatly strengthened our oversight as well. The committee operates in a bipartisan manner, and we work closely with our colleagues in the House. Despite these improvements, we cannot let our guard down. There are individuals around the world who will attack the United States if they can. In order to prevent terrorism, we need reliable intelligence and vigilance from our intelligence community."
"Northrop Grumman is pleased to support activities of the World Affairs Council and we commend its work in promoting global education and international affairs," said Wes Bush, Northrop Grumman chairman, CEO and president. "We look forward to the honor of introducing US Senator Dianne Feinstein at the Council's National Press Club event."
