The American Security Council Foundation (ASCF) (originally, the Institute for American Strategy[1]) is a non-profit organization that seeks to influence United States foreign policy by "Promoting Peace Through Strength".[2] Founded in 1958 by John M. Fisher, it is currently led by Henry A. Fischer from offices at 1250 24th Street NW, Suite 300, Washington, D.C.[3] The organization professes to have run a wide range of educational programs to address challenges to U.S. foreign policy, national security, economic security, and moral leadership of the United States.
In 1997, the organization merged with the American Security Council, founded in 1954 by Robert E. Wood, retired chairman of Sears Roebuck and Company.[4]
