Besides heading the CNP, Roemer serves on the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, according to his bio-data posted on the CNP website.

The Commission is a bipartisan one created by Congress in 2007 as an outgrowth of the reforms put forth by the 9/11 Commission to examine how the US can best address this threat to its national security.

In addition, he serves on the Washington Institute for Near East Policy's Presidential Task Force on Combating the Ideology of Radical Extremism, and the National Parks Second Century Commission.

Roemer, 52, who represented Indiana's Third District from 1991 to 2003, was among the one who had endorsed Obama in his early electoral campaign phase.

It is said that his support was a prime reason for Obama's victory in Indiana. Roemer's name was earlier in circulation for the post of CIA Director, which ultimately went to Leon Panetta.
