Kampelman, and Chester A. Crocker.
ormer president George Bush recently met with Institute board chairman Chester A. Crocker, vice chairman Max M. Kampelman, president Richard H. Solomon, and former board member Sid Lovett at the Bush home in Kennebunkport, Maine, to discuss the current state of international affairs and the Institute's plans to build a permanent home on a three-acre site at the northwest corner of the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

During his years in the White House, Bush appointed a number of notable public figures to serve on the Institute's board of directors and supported the growth of its work in international conflict management. "We are honored to have his encouragement for our efforts on behalf of global peace," Solomon says. "George Bush has made major foreign policy contributions that shepherded the world through the last years of the Cold War without a violent confrontation between the superpowers. History will acknowledge his remarkable achievement."
