The Council on Foreign Relations mourns the passing of Richard B. Cheney, a life member since 1982 and a member of the Council’s Board of Directors from 1987 to 1989 and again from 1993 to 1995. A steadfast steward of the Council, Cheney brought to our community the same seriousness of purpose, strategic insight, and commitment to public service that defined his distinguished career in government and the private sector.
Cheney’s decades of leadership—as vice president of the United States, secretary of defense, member of Congress, and senior White House official—reflected a lifetime devoted to strengthening the United States’ national security and its role in the world. The Council is grateful to have counted Cheney as a member, director, and friend. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
David M. Rubenstein, Chairman
Michael Froman, President
