Dear Friend:
We
are pleased to share with you that Senator Robert P. Casey Jr will address "US Foreign
Policy toward North Korea: Achieving Nuclear Disarmament." at the ICAS Winter Symposium on February
13, 2008 in Washington DC.
United States Senator Robert P. Casey Jr is a member
of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In addition, he also serves
the following Committees: Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry, Banking, Housing &
Urban Affairs, Special Aging, and Joint Economc.
Born and raised in Scranton,
Pennsylvania, Bob Casey, 47, graduated from The College of the Holy Cross in 1982
and spent the following year teaching fifth grade and coaching eighth grade basketball
in inner city Philadelphia for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. Bob received his law
degree from Catholic University in 1988 and entered the practice of law in Scranton.
As a two-term Pennsylvania Auditor General and Pennsylvania State Treasurer, he has
compiled an impressive record of accomplishment. Bob has been a fiscal watchdog
who made nursing homes safer, child care more affordable, government more accountable,
and led the fight to reform Megan's Law to better protect Pennsylvania communities
and children.
As Auditor General - the Commonwealth's independently elected fiscal
and public safety watchdog - Bob aggressively fought to stop waste and fraud involving
tax dollars and improve the effectiveness of government services and agencies. His
efforts directly resulted in changes that have saved Pennsylvania taxpayers more
than $1 billion. Bob will bring this same accountability to Washington. Official
returns from the November 7th, 2006 election show that Bob had 2,392,984 votes or
58.7% of the vote vs. 1,684,778 or 41.3% for the incumbent Senator. The vote margin
was 708,206 or 17.4%.
Bob and his wife, Terese, were married in 1985 and live in
Scranton with their four daughters: Elyse, Caroline, Julia and Marena. Bob is the
eldest son of the late Governor Robert P. Casey and his wife, Ellen. Throughout
his public career, Bob has been guided by the legacy of his father, and the principle
that, "All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor."
Thank
you.
Sincerely,
Sang Joo Kim / signed
Sr. Fellow & Executive Vice President
