The SUSRIS project, of which the National Council on U.S.-Arab
Relations is the publisher of record, offers objective, comprehensive news and information on the history, breadth and depth of the US-Saudi Arabia relationship.
SUSRIS and its e-newsletters provide information from a variety of sources that would otherwise be difficult for most readers to uncover. In addition, SUSRIS offers original materials such as interviews, essays and more. Since its launch in 2003, the response to this resource has been tremendous with monthly web site hits now measured in the millions. Tens of thousands of interested readers have also signed up to receive the (free) SUSRIS e-newsletter. Moreover, SUSRIS is routinely cited by major international media as a news source.
2005 marked the 60th anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's meeting with Saudi King Abdulaziz ibn Saud on board the USS Quincy in the Red Sea. Since then, the relationship has evolved through times of quiet and turmoil. SUSRIS endeavors to provide information and resources that enable a clear assessment of this relationship as well as contribute to a better understanding between the people of the United States and Saudi Arabia.
