HUDSON’S INTERN PROGRAM Hudson Institute interns provide critical assistance to the Institute. This year, over 150 students from an array of universities in the United States and abroad —ranging from Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, University of Chicago, George town, George Washington University, to the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris—provided research and administrative support to Hudson Institute scholars and staff. Through their internships, these students gain valuable experience and in - sight into public policy. “My internship has given me a much better understanding of how the world of communications works,” noted Sibylle Getzin, a German trainee and graduate of Universität Greifswald, who worked with Grace Terzian, Hudson’s Vice President for Communications, and Rachel DiCarlo Currie, Hudson’s Managing Editor. Hudson’s internship program is run by Senior Fellow Richard Weitz, Hud son’s Director of Program Man age ment. Weitz, who taught social studies at Harvard, enjoys the interaction with interns. He observes that “Our best interns here at Hudson have been as good as my best students at Harvard.” Many undergraduates have proceeded to pursue graduate programs related to their research agenda at Hudson. Like Weitz, other Hudson scholars enjoy the opportunity to mentor our interns. “Hudson’s interns will often become policymakers themselves, so it is critical that we use our experience and knowledge to help them better understand the changing global environment,” noted Hudson Senior Fellow Hillel Fradkin. Hudson staff members make an effort to assist former interns to obtain more permanent entry into the policy world. Recent interns have been hired by the U.S. government, assumed re search positions at various Wash ington think tanks such as the Brook ings Institution, and worked on Capi tol Hill. Several are working for various presidential and other political campaigns— on both the Demo cratic and Republican side of the aisle. One former intern recently joined the Jap an ese Foreign Service, while another has taken a post with the French Foreign Ministry.

Tony Snow, Miles Prentice, and Herbert London Hudson EVENTS SEPTEMBER REFORMING AND REFINING EXPORT CONTROLS Transcripts, summaries, and photographs of Hudson Institute events can be found at www.hudson.org In a time of globalization of the defense industry, is the U.S. system of export controls preventing the export of critical technologies while encouraging the development of the most ad vanced technologies and their incorporation into U.S. military hardware and software? In a Hudson conference this past December, a group of academics, journalists, and government and military officials discussed the tradeoff between safeguarding new weapons and technol ogies from falling into potential enemies’ hands while keeping de fense trade open enough to facilitate industrial collaboration, enhance operational coordination, reap the benefits of mass production, and access the best talents and products worldwide. Their recommendations were compiled in the just-published report Export Controls and Technology Transfers: Turning Obstacles into Opportunities. A follow-up event was held in September to highlight its publication. Hudson Institute CEO Kenneth Weinstein introduced the event. Maria Farkas, former Hudson research fellow and editor of the report, outlined the report’s major findings. Special guests Lincoln P. Bloomfield Jr. and Jeffrey P. Bialos commented on the report and the current state of affairs in the export-control arena.
