Gen. Michael Hayden, (Ret.)
As former Director of CIA and NSA, I am very well aware of the grave security threats facing
America and the world.
The Parliamentary Security-Intelligence Forums organized by Congressman Robert Pittenger, as
Chairman of the Congressional Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, have
brought together our allies from throughout the world to collaborate on issues including cyber
warfare, terror financing and intelligence sharing.
I have participated in the fora he has led; they are strategic, energetic and farsighted. They
contribute to the kind of ongoing dialogue we will need to meet today's challenges.
