Consensus on Arms ControlAS WE PREPARE OURSELVES FOR CONSENSUS ON ARMS CONTROL, WE WOULD DO WELL TO KEEP IN MIND THESE WORDS TAKEN FROM THE SPRING ISSUE OF THE NATIONAL VOTER. "The strength of the League as a public interest organization and the force behind its lobbying efforts rest on the fact that its members actively control the decisions and the lobbying activities of this national organization." "... any political strategist can see that its the active involvement of Leagues across the country speaking in a unified voice through the national organization that gives the LWV its clout."
ARE YOU PREPARED for the SEPTEMBER CONSENSUS on ARMS CONTROL? COME TO THE AUGUST GENERAL MEETING CHAIRED BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY COMMITTEE. -------------------------------------- FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. ALA WAI PLAZA Recreation Room 500 University Avenue (Limited street parking.
