## Description

Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a prominent nonpartisan policy institute focusing on national security and was established immediately after the September 11 attacks in 2001. Under the leadership of founder and president Clifford D. May, FDD has grown into a leading think tank recognized for shaping crucial national security policies and legislation.
