Panel Discussion on National Security with U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and U.S. Rep. Jane Harman, Architects of the Department of Homeland Security, to Commemorate 9/11

Denver, CO (September 6, 2013) – In honor of the upcoming anniversary of September 11th, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock, in partnership with The Denver Post and the Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab (CELL), will present Colorado Remembers 9/11: Looking at the Future of U.S. National Security.

Following the commemoration, Vincent Carroll of The Denver Post will moderate a panel discussion featuring U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and U.S. Rep.
