Dr. Stephen Flynn, President of the Center for National Policy, an independent think tank in Washington focused on the importance of infrastructure, resilience, and security issues, released the following statement today in response to the new National Security Strategy:

"I applaud President Obama's inclusion of resilience in the new National Security Strategy.  This marks an important step forward by acknowledging the vital role that citizens, companies, and communities can and must play in dealing with the evolving terrorism threat highlighted by the recent Times Square attack and the ongoing risk of natural disasters. I sincerely hope this new strategy inspires a revitalized national effort to better integrate the role of everyday Americans and the private sector into security and preparedness planning."
