BASIC's Transatlantic Allies

A British-American Patron Base in Support of a Strong and Just Transatlantic Security Community

We launched our patron base, 'BASIC's Transatlantic Allies' at a London reception hosted by BASIC Board member Brian Eno in May 2006 (see photos).

This is part of our effort to develop an innovative and powerful British-American community of experts, thinkers, and policy-makers to increase the effectiveness of our messages.
