A report prepared by Transition 2001, a bipartisan panel of about 60 American leaders in the areas of foreign and defense policy, outlining the most important national security challenges for the new administration, suggesting priorities, and recommending specific courses of action that the new president could take in the early days of his administration. Such decisive early action will be critical for setting U.S. foreign and national security policy on the right path for the balance of his term and beyond. This summary is based on more than 25 discussion papers on key issues and areas, prepared by RAND staff and others, analyzing the most critical foreign and national security issues facing the United States, both during the first part of the new administration and in the long term. The discussion papers are published in a companion report,

From the Publisher:
Transition 2001 is a bipartisan panel of about 60 American leaders in the areas offoreign and defense policy, co-chaired by Frank Carlucci, Robert Hunter, andZalmay Khalilzad, and coordinated by Jeremy Shapiro. The convening of thepanel stemmed from the belief that this presidential transition comes at a criticaltime for America's role in the world-a time, also, when there is special value intrying to forge as much bipartisan agreement as possible on the central tenets ofU.S. national security policy. Accordingly, our purpose was to survey theprincipal challenges that the United States will face abroad in the yearsimmediately ahead and to recommend specific actions that the new presidentcould take in the early days of his administration. Such decisive early action willbe critical for setting U.S. national security policy on the right path for thebalance of his term and beyond.To conduct its work, the panel commissioned more than 25 discussion papers onkey issues and areas, prepared by RAND staff and others, providing analyses ofthe most critical national security issues facing the United States, both during thefirst part of the new administration and in the long term. The panel met fourtimes from February to October 2000 to discuss the most critical issues. The resultof the panel's work is this report and an accompanying volume of discussionpapers. The report outlines what we have determined to be the most importantnational security challenges for the new administration, suggests priorities, and,where we could reach consensus, recommends specific courses of action. It isour hope that this report can make a signal contribution through helping to focusattention on key priorities and, in the process, helping to create bipartisansupport for American foreign and defense policy.
