John Kerry to Give a Major Foreign Policy Address at the Pacific Council on International Policy June 1, 2006.

LOS ANGELES Calif., May 19, 2006 - The Pacific Council on International Policy is pleased to announce that John Kerry, Senator from Massachusetts, will address its members during a special lunchtime event June 1, 2006. During a time of heightened concern about U.S. foreign policy, Senator Kerry has been on the front lines of several issues, including U.S. action towards Iran's nuclear program as well as his call for the U.S. to withdraw all of its combat troops from Iraq by the end of this year.

John Kerry is currently serving his fourth term in the U.S. Senate and serves on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, Finance Committee, and the Committee on Foreign Relations, where his views are respected and influential. Kerry was the Democratic nominee for President of the U.S. in 2004.

"We are extremely honored to welcome Senator Kerry to Los Angeles," said Geoffrey Garrett, President of the Pacific Council. "Kerry's views on U.S. foreign policy in Iraq and elsewhere are very influential inside and outside Congress."

The meeting for Pacific Council members and invited guests will take place in Century City and will be chaired by former Secretary of State Warren Christopher, who is Co-Chair of the Pacific Council's Board of Directors.

The Pacific Council on International Policy is a non-partisan membership organization comprising globally-oriented business, civic and government leaders on the West Coast. Founded in 1995 in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations and the University of Southern California, the Council is an independent 501(c)3 organization headquartered in Los Angeles.

1. This could be another very interesting speech. I will contact C-Span.

I hope they do carry it. Do you happen to know what time it starts?
Oh, and thank you for the information.

[TayTay]

2. Sometime between 3:00 and 4:00 (EST)

or 12:00 and 1:00 pm (PST)

He is addressing what is going on in Iran. This is really interesting. The Bushies have taken a turn toward 'containment' on Iran. I wonder what this Vietnam Vet would say about a policy of 'containment.' Hmmmmmmm.

3. Thanks for the info!

It will be interesting to hear what JK has to say as it appears from Afghanistan to Iraq that Bush's foreign policy is has caused tremendous instability, bordering on chaos.

4. That's excellent that he will be speaking about Iran

He's made remarks and answered questions, but I haven't heard him talk in depth about this subject this year. I think he will have strong rhetoric against Iran, but have ideas that are new and fresh on how to deal with them. See the Ahmadinejad thread JohnKleeb started for a link to his interview with Spiegel -- this guys is REALLY bad.
