 In 2004 , Congress authorized $ 100 million for construction of USIP 's headquarters , in part due to the efforts of Republican Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska , while the institute was required to raise the remaining $ 86 million . The funds raised by USIP included a $ 10 million donation from Chevron Corporation . Another corporate donor to the building fund , defense contractor Lockheed Martin , was named a " Founding Corporate Partner " after donating $ 1 million . William Hartung of the Center for International Policy criticized the USIP for " taking money from the world 's largest producer of the weapons of war . "
