Other Experience

1986-2008
Regular, and increasingly frequent, meetings with and hearings before members of Congress. Most were in closed session, but several required unclassified testimony and Statements for the Record, some of which are cited in my list of publications. During this period I also participated in many State Department “Town Meetings” for the American public and met with hundreds of foreign officials in Washington or during official travel to approximately 80 countries.

1975-1985
While at Stanford, I served as a consultant to the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, SRI International, SAIC, Atlantic Richfield, and numerous other organizations.
