“The world is not getting any smaller, and it’s critical that American policymakers understand and have relationships with other policymakers on the global stage. One of the goals of the Franklin Center is to help policymakers forge these kinds of relationships so they have a better sense of the challenges the U.S. faces abroad.”

- Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT)
