Congressman Makes Personal Contribution to the Counterterrorism Foundation

By Andrew Cochran

When we announced the merger of our two blogs, we also announced the opening of the non-profit Counterterrorism Foundation. The Foundation provides financial support to the Counterterrorism Blog and funds related research and reporting activities, including embedded reporting by Counterterrorism Blog experts, speaking appearances, and a range of publications. You can read more about the Foundation here.

One of our first donations to the Foundation came from Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ), who made a personal contribution. Rep. Renzi was inspired to run for Congress affter personally witnessing the terrorist attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, from his car as he was driving towards Washington. He serves on the U.S. House Intelligence Committee and is the author of language included in the House-passed immigration bill which would use state-of-the-art technologies to protect our borders.

We deeply appreciate Rep. Renzi's contribution and his support of the Counterterrorism Foundation.
