The National Security Council (NSC) has been and should continue to be one the most important elements of government. It was established in 1947 to ensure that important decisions are based on an objective evaluation of all the relevant options and that the President's decisions are effectively implemented. The NSC though cannot ensure these things if key personnel do not act as honest brokers or if the decision-making process is short-circuited and the options are not thoroughly vetted. Dr. James F. Miskel was a Director for Defense Policy and Arms Control at the NSC during two administrations. He also served as a Professor of National Security Affairs at the US Naval War College where he remains an adjunct professor.The Distinguished Lecture Series hosted by the Fielden Institute for Lifelong Learning at Indian River State College and brings experts and seasoned educators to the podium on current events including subjects in foreign policy; the environment; education; health; and the economy.
