Chevron Contributes $10 Million to U.S. Institute of Peace
At first, I thought this had something to do with Dennis Kucinich' "Department of Peace".

"USIP will name the Great Hall in its new headquarters the George P. Shultz Great Hall, in honor of the former U.S. secretary of state."


Chevron Contributes $10 Million to U.S. Institute of Peace

By Staff Reporter

San Ramon, CA - Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX) today announced a $10 million contribution to the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP), an independent, nonpartisan organization specializing in the resolution of international conflict and the promotion of peace building worldwide.

The $10 million contribution from Chevron will help construct the Institute's new permanent headquarters to be built at the northwest corner of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The headquarters will serve as a national center of excellence for research, education, training policy and program development on international conflict prevention, management, and resolution.

USIP will name the Great Hall in its new headquarters the George P. Shultz Great Hall, in honor of the former U.S. secretary of state. In addition, the theater planned for the Institute's Public Education Center will be named the Chevron Theater.

2. That probably adds up to...
1% of their Bush tax incentives or a few hours worth of their yearly profit. I'm not impressed.
