    Phillip Merrill, a minor media mogul and current president of the U.S. Ex-Im Bank, is on the advisory council of the hawkish Center for Security Policy. In 2003, Merrill donated $4 million to the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies to set up a new Center for Strategic Studies, which is to be headed by Eliot Cohen, a key neocon scholar and member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. Merrill has also served as the assistant secretary general of NATO and in a number of U.S. government posts in the State and Defense Departments. In 1988 he was awarded the Medal for Distinguished Service, the highest civilian honor given by the Defense Department.
