              The Center for American Progress

 

The Center for American Progress is a major think tank in Washington, D.C. whose mission is "as a nonpartisan research and educational institute dedicated to promoting a strong, just and free America that ensures opportunity for all. We believe Americans are bound together by a common commitment to these values and we aspire to ensure our national policies reflect these values." The President of CAP is John Podesta, who led the Obama-Biden Transition and was Chief of Staff to President Clinton during Swire’s time at the Office of Management and Budget.

Swire is now a Senior Fellow at CAP. He works on projects that combine his academic expertise with practical projects for policy change. Swire has worked at CAP on many issues including consumer protection, privacy, and computer and homeland security. His writings include:
