Religion | The nine commissioners who serve on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom | The Editors

The International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 created the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, an independent government body that advises the secretary of state, president, and Congress but does not have the authority to make foreign policy. The nine commissioners serve two-year terms. President Bush appointed the latest, evangelical scholar Michael Cromartie, on Sept. 20. Members now include:

Preeta D. Bansal, Chairwoman, Hindu; Of Counsel, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom

Felice D. Gaer, Vice Chairwoman, Jewish; Director, Jacob Blaustein Institute for the Advancement of Human Rights; The American Jewish Committee
