     At no point in American history has debate over the right to
keep and bear arms been more important than it is today.  You will
soon have the chance to have your voice heard in a national forum. 
On April 2-4, a distinguished group of scholars, legal specialists,
medical experts and media representatives will examine and discuss
the legislative and judicial history of the Second Amendment and
firearms ownership in a free society.
     Nine separate panel discussions will insure the debate is open
and free flowing and that audience members will be able to engage
the panelists in question and answer sessions.  The panels will be
moderated by noted authorities, including: Raymond T. Diamond,
Professor of Law, Tulane University; Joyce Lee Malcolm, Professor
of History, Bentley College; James A. McClure, former U.S. Senator
Idaho; Morgan O. Reynolds, Professor of Economics, Texas A&M; Paul
Craig Roberts, nationally syndicated columnist, and Edger A. Suter,
MD.
     Conference highlights will include addresses by U.S. Senators
Larry Craig, Phil Gramm, Orrin Hatch, Trent Lott, U.S. Rep. Bill 
McCollum and others.
