Before President Nixon selected him as National Security Advisor in 1968 Kissinger also worked as a consultant for several other government agencies. In 1973 he was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his involvement in negotiating ceasefires in Vietnam. Following his roles as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, Kissinger went on to become a faculty member at Georgetown University. In 1985 President Reagan appointed Kissinger as a board member of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, which he served until 1990. Throughout the 1980s and through the 2000s Kissinger went on to hold various positions involved in political and foreign affairs. In 2002 he was appointed by President George W. Bush as chair of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
