              <Paragraph>The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is an independent quasi-Federal institution established by Congress pursuant to title XVII of the Defense Authorization Act of 1985, as amended (22 U.S.C. 4601-4611), to develop, apply, and foster cost-effective strategies and tools to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent international conflicts, particularly those that threaten or harm America's strategic and security interests. The USIP Act defines the organization's mission "to serve the people and the government through the widest possible range of education and training, basic and applied research opportunities, and peace information services on the means to promote international peace and the resolution of conflicts among nations and peoples of the world without recourse to violence." A bipartisan Board of Directors, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, governs the Institute. The Board comprises members from outside the Federal service, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the President of the National Defense University. The Board appoints the President of the Institute.</Paragraph>
