The Center for National Policy (CNP) is an American non-profit, non-partisan public policy think-tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. According to its mission statement, the Center for National…Policy is "dedicated to advancing the economic and national security of the United States" CNP's stated goal is to "connect senior policy makers with the most innovative research and thought leadership on issues that impact America's security." CNP frequently holds events, roundtables, and policy meetings that feature experts in national and economic security issues. The Center for National Policy was founded in 1981. Peter Kovler, Director of the Marjorie Kovler Fund, serves as Chairman of the Center, succeeding Leon Panetta, CNP's National Advisory Board Chair and former White House Chief of Staff. Previous Presidents and Chairmen of CNP include U.S. ambassador to India and former six-term member of Congress, Tim Roemer, three former U.S. Secretaries of State, Madeleine Albright, Edmund Muskie, and Cyrus Vance. Other CNP Board members have included former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Thomas Foley, former Republican Members of Congress Jack Buechner and Rod Chandler, and former Democratic Members of Congress John Brademas and Michael Barnes. Paul Culliton Warnke (January 31, 1920 - October 31, 2001) was a United States diplomat. He attended Yale University, fought in World War II for five years in the United States Coast Guard, and then entered Columbia Law School. In 1948, he joined the law firm Covington & Burling, run by Dean Acheson. He became a partner in 1956. He was offered the position of General Counsel to the Secretary of Defense in 1967 during the Lyndon Johnson Administration. He took that position and served under Robert McNamara, moving on to become Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs from 1967 to 1969 under McNamara and then Clark Clifford. During his time in the Defense Department, he was a critic of the Vietnam War and an arms control advocate. He disagreed with the domino theory and said that the war had been a huge mistake. But he also believed that the decision to enter it had been understandable and he supported some weapons buildup. After serving briefly under Richard Nixon in the same position, he joined the law firm of his former boss, which became known as Clifford, Warnke, Glass, McIlwaine & Finney. During this period he served as an adviser to presidential candidate George McGovern and also wrote a noteworthy article in Foreign Policy magazine, "Apes on a Treadmill". That piece criticized the current buildup of nuclear weapons by both sides and suggested that the United States unilaterally stop developing the B-1 bomber and the Trident submarine for six months. Under President Jimmy Carter he was chief SALT negotiator and Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. He helped negotiate the unratified SALT II agreement with the Soviet Union and was a tireless advocate of slowing the arms race. Warnke saw arms control as a step-by-step process. Unlike many of his critics, most famously Paul Nitze, Warnke didn't believe in the late 1970s that the Soviets had a desire to attack the United States or that they would succeed if they did. Warnke believed that the United States, with a "triad" of strong defenses-in the air, on land, in the sea-had a strong enough military to deter any Soviet assault. After leaving the Carter administration, he returned to private law practice and his work with Clark Clifford, forming Clifford & Warnke. He also stayed active in political issues as a member of the Committee for National Security.
