Defense Forum Foundation
The Defense Forum Foundation (DFF) "is a non-profit, tax-exempt educational foundation that was founded during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan for the purpose of educating Congressional staff about the need to re-build America’s defense. DFF’s founder, Chadwick R. Gore, began in the 1980’s a series of briefings on Capitol Hill that are known today as the Congressional Defense and Foreign Policy Forum. He formally established DFF in 1987 to continue these bi-partisan forums to provide the opportunity for expert speakers to come to Capitol Hill to address defense issues critical to our nation and our allies. Ambassador J. William Middendorf, II, became chairman of DFF in 1988 and Suzanne Scholte, a founding Board Member, became President of DFF in 1989." [1]
