Council on Foreign Relations
Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force is scheduled to release its report this Thursday, May 17. For an advance story or for the most accurate and comprehensive post-release interpretation, the Council on Foreign Relations can provide the most renowned energy experts to contribute to your coverage.
And the Council, together with the James A. Baker III Institute of Public Policy, recently released its own Independent Task Force titled, "Strategic Energy Policy: Challenges for the 21st Century." Over the course of several months, our independent energy task force convened experts from every segment of the world of energy -- producers, consumers, environmentalists, national security experts, and others -- and examined the same issues as those before Vice President Cheney's energy task force.
Listed below are the names and direct numbers of Council energy experts and members of the Independent Task Force on Energy Policy. We encourage you to call everyone directly.
If you need additional help, please don't hesitate to contact the Council on Foreign Relations communications department: Lisa Shields (212)434-9888.

Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion-dollar question: How is it that Israel—a country of 7.1 million, only sixty years old, surrounded by enemies— produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the UK? With the insights of geopolitical experts and investors, the authors examine this nation’s adversity-driven culture to answer this question and offer prescriptions for a global economy on the rebound.
In Forces of Fortune, Vali Nasr presents a paradigm-changing revelation that will transform the understanding of the Muslim world at large. He reveals that there is a vital but unseen rising force in the Islamic world—a new business-minded middle class—that is building a vibrant new Muslim world economy and that holds the key to winning the cold war against Iran and extremists.
In Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know, Julia E. Sweig presents a remarkably accessible portrait of Cuba's unique place on the world stage over the past fifty years, including its internal politics, its often fraught relationship with the United States, and its shifting relationship with the global community.
