The War on Terrorism: The Challenge of Our Lifetimes

Mr. Pipes will present a philosophical defense of why we are fighting, what we are fighting for, and why this struggle is truly the challenge of our times. Kasey S. Pipes is the Associate Director of the Office of Strategic Initiatives at the White House where he writes speeches, coordinates long-range planning and strategic research for the Bush Administration, and reports to Karl Rove, the Senior Advisor to the President. Prior to serving in the White House, Kasey worked as a speechwriter for the Bush for President campaign. He wrote op-eds, scripts, and speeches for then-Governor Bush, key campaign surrogates, and served as the lead speechwriter for Dick Cheney. Kasey's career began in 1995 when he served as an intern in the office of former President Ronald Reagan in Los Angeles, California. In 1996 he worked on Kay Granger's first run for Congress. After the election, Granger hired Kasey to join her Washington office. He served as Senior Legislative Assistant, advising the Congresswoman on issues ranging from education to taxes to foreign affairs. In this role, he helped Granger to write and pass into law legislation creating tax-free savings accounts for parents to invest for their children's college education. Kasey later served as Congresswoman Granger's Director of Communications, where he was her chief spokesman, handled all of her media contacts, and wrote her speeches. He worked for Congresswoman Granger until leaving in the fall of 1999 for the Bush campaign in Austin. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Kasey was originally trained for ministry at Abilene Christian University. He also holds a master's degree in Government from the Johns Hopkins University. He lives in Arlington, Virginia. .
