RE: SPEECH DELIVERED BY PAUL SCHOTT STEVENS TO THE WORLD TRADE
CENTER
Enclosed is a speech that Paul Stevens delivered to the World Trade Center in New
Orleans on February 25th, addressing the issue of retirement security. It focuses on projected
demographic changes in the United States, comparing them to Europe and Japan; advances
some U.S. advantages in dealing with this issue, including the size of our private retirement
system; underlines the importance of taking steps to ensure secure retirements for Americans,
and offers some specific thoughts on the principles that should guide our reform efforts.
As you will see, the speech raises a number of issues of ongoing concern to the mutual
fund industry, our members and their shareholders. It was extremely well received by the
audience, and advances our effort to get ICI’s message out to as many opinion-influencers as
possible.
