Members of the House Armed Services Committee visited the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies yesterday.  Led by chairman, Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO), the group included Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA), Rep. John Spratt (D-SC), Rep. Robin Hayes (R-NC), Delegate from Guam Rep. Madeleine Bordallo (D-GU) , Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH).  The Representatives stopped in Hawaii on their way out into the region.

While at the Center, the Representatives met APCSS Fellows currently attending the Comprehensive Security Responses to Terrorism (CSRT) course, APCSS faculty and staff, and other area military and community business leaders. 

Before leaving the island today, Representatives participated in a roundtable with APCSS faculty.

The APCSS addresses regional and global security issues, inviting military and civilian representatives of the United States and 45 Asia-Pacific nations to its comprehensive program of courses and conferences, both in Hawaii and throughout the Asia-Pacific region.  The Center supports the U.S. Pacific Command’s objective of developing professional and personal ties among national security establishments throughout the region.  APCSS focuses on a multilateral and multi-dimensional approach to defining and addressing regional security issues and concerns.  The most beneficial result is building relationships of trust and confidence among future leaders and decision-makers within the region.
