The Iraq Study Group's Baker and Hamilton

Published December 6, 2006 at 4:00 PM EST

Melissa Block talks with the co-chairs of the Iraq Study Group: James A. Baker III, a former secretary of state; and Lee H. Hamilton, a former congressman.

Congress formed the Iraq Study Group to give an independent assessment of the current and prospective situation on the ground in Iraq, the surrounding region, and consequences for U.S. interests.

Baker is the honorary chairman of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University. Hamilton is the director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
