Ambassador R. James Woolsey, a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, was the Director of the CIA from 1993 to 1995. He’s served under Presidents Carter, Reagan, H.W. Bush, and Clinton. As an officer in the Army, he was a delegate to Strategic Nuclear Talks and served as Under Secretary of the Navy.
Recently his expertise has been focused on National Security and Energy. He co-founded and currently chairs the United States Energy Security Council and as such is working to focus attention on the dangers of a grid down scenario. A recipient of an honorary doctorate from the Institute of World Politics in 2011, he now serves as the Institute’s Chancellor.
He was an advisor on the U.S. Delegation to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT 1), General Counsel to the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, and a delegate at large for the U.S. during the Nuclear and Space Arms Talks in the 1980’s. He also served as Ambassador for the negotiation on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.
Woolsey served as Chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a non-profit, nonpartisan research institute for foreign policy and national security. Presidential Candidate John McCain used Woolsey as an advisor on energy and climate change during his run for office, and he also served as a senior advisor to Presidential Candidate Donald Trump in 2016.
