Dear Friends and Neighbors:

I recently received the following information from the University of Alaska Anchorage:

WHAT: Lee Gorsuch Public Policy Forum - The Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline: What’s it all about?
WHEN: Tuesday, November 29, 2005, at 7 p.m.
WHERE: UAA Wendy Williamson Auditorium

Free Parking is available

Moderator
   Lee Gorsuch, UAA Chancellor Emeritus

Presenters
   Jim Whittaker, Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor
   Jim Clark, Governor Murkowski’s Chief of Staff
   Joe Marushack, ConocoPhillips Alaska

Panelists
   Larry Persily, Anchorage Daily News
   Judy Brady, Alaska Oil and Gas Association
   Jim Sampson, AFL-CIO
   Rose Helens-Hart and Lindsay Eberhardt, UAA Speech and Debate team members

FINALLY - Some real answers to all the questions about Alaska’s proposed natural gas pipeline. This is expected to be a broad ranging discussion and there will be opportunities for the audience to ask questions as well.

This is the first in a series of public policy forums that Lee Gorsuch, UAA chancellor from 1994-2004 and ISER director from 1976-1994, will moderate. The forums will examine important issues facing the State of Alaska.

The forum is partially funded by the Lee Gorsuch Public Policy Fund - an endowment within the University of Alaska Foundation. The endowment was created upon his retirement to recognize the contributions of Chancellor Emeritus Gorsuch to public policy analysis in the state of Alaska. The annual income from the endowment will provide financial support for one or more annual events addressing important or emerging public policy issues for the state.
