RE: MAY 3 LEGISLATIVE BRIEFING IN WASHINGTON, DC
______________________________________________________________________________
In conjunction with the May 3 Board of GovernorsG meeting, the Legislative Affairs Department
has scheduled the fourth annual Board of GovernorsG Legislative Briefing in Washington, DC. A copy
of the preliminary agenda is attached.
In response to your suggestions, we have changed the format for the Legislative Briefing. We will
begin before the Board of GovernorsG meeting with a breakfast presentation by Frank Luntz, the
Republican pollster who masterminded the Contract with America. (See attached article.) Following the
Board meeting, we will meet with Telecommunications and Finance Subcommittee Chair Jack Fields (R-
TX) and the Majority Members of the House Commerce Committee at a luncheon meeting in the Capitol.
Finally, we will conclude with in-depth briefings on the Senate side. Majority Whip Trent Lott (R-MS)
and Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT), who is ranking member of Senate Securities Subcommittee and
also serves as General Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, have been invited to share their
respective views on:
1) the Senate response to the House Contract; and
2) the Democratic agenda as the minority party.
The briefing is expected to end at 3:30 p.m.
Historic changes are occurring in Washington. We have assembled opinion leaders and decision
makers to discuss these changes and answer your questions. We are excited about the program we have
organized and hope that you will be able join us for the entire event.
Please return the attached response form at your earliest convenience. Please note: Chairman
Fields has requested the biographies of the members of the Board of Governors who will attend he
luncheon meeting. Please attach yours to the response form.
We will keep you informed as the agenda develops. Please call me if you wish additional
