Given all the work you are doing to establish a national service corps, we believe an address by you would have a tremendous impact on our audience. We would ask that both you and Mr. Shriver each offer roughly 10 minutes of prepared remarks to our audience, followed by a 20 minute question and answer period. Due to the enormous popularity and large attendance of the Volunteer Fair over the past three years, the program will take place at the John B. Hynes Convention Center. As noted earlier, the date is set for Saturday, September 11, 1993, with the keynote scheduled for 11:00 a.m. We have enclosed in this letter some materials to provide you with a bit of background information on our consortium members. We very much hope that you will be able to accept our invitation to be keynote speaker at our program. We would be glad to answer any questions you may have and to discuss details, and will call your office to see if we can provide any further information.
