Background
Founded in 1976 by Ronald Docksai and headed by Lynn Francis Bouchey from 1977 to 1992, the Council for Inter-American Security's
(CIS) mission objective was to clarify the common security interests of Western Hemisphere nations, provide strategic advice
for the protection of those interests, and disseminate its recommendations. Publications and analyses from CIS focused primarily
on Latin American countries and provided data and statistics to Congress, the executive branch, and the American public.
