The Heritage Foundation - Leadership for America

The Foundry

About

Since its founding in 1973, The Heritage Foundation has served as a research and educational institute -- a think tank -- whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.

The Foundry seeks to further those conservative principles and policies through daily commentary on current news and events, following in Heritage's long tradition of responding quickly to the public policy debates taking place in Washington. It is a product of Heritage's Center for Media & Public Policy.

Notable Quotable

The Heritage Foundation emerged as an important voice in Washington during the Reagan years. The American people gave Ronald Reagan his mandate for leadership. Yet, it was the Heritage Foundation, with a book by that title, from which he drew ideas and inspiration. Ever since, in the councils of Washington, Heritage has been an advocate for free enterprise, traditional values and the advance of liberty around the world. My administration has benefited from your good work, and so has our country. Thank you for what you do. —President Bush
