Graham Leads Congressional Delegation to Munich Security Conference

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) will lead a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to attend this weekend’s Munich Security Conference (MSC).

The MSC is widely considered the world’s leading forum for international security policy.  The conference is a ‘marketplace of ideas’ where initiatives and solutions are developed and opinions are exchanged. It also provides a venue for diplomatic initiatives and ideas to cooperatively address the world’s most pressing security concerns.

In addition to a record number of international leaders and decision makers, the 2019 MSC also includes United States Vice President Mike Pence and Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan.

The Graham trip will be called “CODEL McCain” in honor of former Senator John McCain of Arizona, who often served as the leader of the American congressional delegation at this prestigious international conference.
