    Leading Authorities, Inc. is proud to announce exclusive lecture
    representation of two icons of public service, Ambassador Richard Butler,
    the former Chairman of the United Nations Special Commission charged with
    the disarmament of Iraq, and Daniel Goldin, the longest serving head of
    NASA.

    Ambassador Butler received international acclaim for his work at the
    United
    Nations, heading the U.N. effort to disarm Iraq and safeguard the world
    against chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. He courageously led an
    international team of arms inspectors who provided timely and accurate
    reports on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. A career diplomat, Butler
    served as Australia’s ambassador to the United Nations and first
    Ambassador
    for Disarmament. He is the author of The Greatest Threat: Iraq, Weapons
    of
    Mass Destruction, and the Crisis of Global Security.

    During his tenure as NASA’s longest-serving Administrator, Daniel S.
    Goldin
    initiated a revolution to transform America’s aeronautics and space
    program.
    Despite lower budgets, his “faster, better, cheaper” approach enabled the
    Agency to deliver high value programs to the American public while
    significantly increasing all safety indicators. Goldin worked under three
    different U.S. Presidents, and with the leaderships of both the House and
    the Senate, to implement aggressive policies and funding to assure NASA’s
    unprecedented leadership role in the world. He helped pioneer technologies
    that have allowed unparalleled development of American aircraft and
    spacecraft. The National Journal named him “One of the 100 Most
    Influential
    Men and Women in Government,” and Defense Business, named Goldin among the
    world’s top 40 most influential defense-industry leaders.

    Mark French, President, Leading Authorities, Inc. said “We are very proud
    to
    be representing two of the world’s most distinguished experts on defense,
    technology, and disarmament. Messrs. Butler and Goldin have both operated
    at the highest levels in their respective fields and have unique insights
    to
    share on our post-September 11 world.”
