The Business Roundtable, representing the nation's top chief executive officers, has named Fred Smith, chairman and president of FedEx Corp., as chairman of its Security Task Force.
The task force was created after the 2001 terrorist attacks to help the private sector partner with government to protect the United States' critical infrastructure against threats of terrorism.
Smith replaces Michael Armstrong, former chairman of cable industry giant Comcast Corp.
