Policy Forum on International Security Affairs
The Policy Forum on International Security Affairs is a London-based neoconservative PR grouping reportedly launched in November 2002 as part of the US government's oversease propaganda activities. The Policy Forum hosts roundtable discussions which bring together US policy makers and the international press corps. It has also been courting key Arab media in small sessions.[1]
According to official filings the Pentagon reported (on 23 July 2007) its intention to award a 'sole source contract' to the Policy forum, the purporse of which was 'for technical support and consulting services for public liaison and media outreach services in support of the diplomacy mission including addressing and informing European and Middle Eastern audiences on the challenges facing U.S. National Security policies. The awardee will engage London based European and Arab media in candid discussions on a wide variety of national security issues of interest to senior Department of Defense (DoD) officials.' The contract is for 'a 12-month base period and (4) 12-month option periods.'[2]
