[ck4829]

The New Citizenship Project (also New Citizenship Project, Inc.) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization funded by the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the John M. Olin Foundation and the Bradley Foundation. Founded in 1994, NCP initiated the neo-conservative Project for the New American Century, one of the key behind-the-scenes architects of the Bush administration's foreign policy. According to his senate biography, John McCain supported John Walters for "drug czar" in 2001. John Walters served as a president of NCP, "an organization created to promote greater civic participation in our national life."

NCP shares the same address, suite, and kitchenette as PNAC. According to NCP's listing in The Right Guide, NCP and the Philanthropy Roundtable share the same telephone number. The Philanthropy Roundtable's office is on the same floor of the same office building as PNAC and NCP.

In 1996, the Council on Crime in America, another NCP project, authored a report The State of Violent Crime in America which was published by the Heartland Institute. The Council., which appears to have only been briefly active in 1996, was chaired by former "Drug Czar" William Bennett and former Attorney General Griffin Bell. McCain also served on the Council.
