We have confirmations from our speakers: Secretary of State Powell, Secretary of Treasury O'Neill, Secretary of Commerce Evans, EPA Administrator Whitman and Senator Kennedy (D-MA). We continue to work with the White House, hoping for an address by the President, and that appears quite likely. If so, there is also a high probability that we will go to The White House complex for that address. Unfortunately, because of space limitations, only NAM Directors and their spouses will be included in that group. With the threat of recession on everyone's mind, we will focus much of our attention on the economy - as well as on security issues and life after Sept. 11 - during our plenary and regional breakout sessions. We look forward to your active participation in these discussions about how to achieve economic recovery and improve homeland security. In addition to the security that is automatic with Administration officials when they appear before a group, we have secured the assistance of a professional firm to assure that our directors and guests feel safe and secure during our meeting. We are returning to normalcy within the city as far as air and rail travel are concerned. A few delays can be expected as you enter and exit the security gates. But I encourage you to feel confident that you will enjoy your visit to Washington, D.C. and that we will have a great meeting! I look forward to seeing you soon.
