This year's conference, with a theme of "America's Future: Refugees, Migration and National Security," has attracted a stellar list of guests including former Assistant Secretary of State Anne C. Richard.

Executive Director of the Institute Gary Wenske talks with Weekend Edition host George Prentice about this year's conference and the legacy of Frank Church.
