Preparing for National Security Consensus -- Phase II EXCITING MEETINGS SCHEDULED The National Security Study Committee has really been inspired for the second phase of the National Security Consensus on the subject of U.S. Military Policy and Defense Spending. Not only have they designed a program which will include a videotape presentation which they prepared themselves to be followed by a general discussion session, they're, TAKING THE PROGRAM TO YOU. Dottie Gullicksen, NSSC Chair announced: "The Honolulu League members of the committee for a national security study have enjoyed going deeply into the issues -- but because the study is inspired by a three-phase national consensus for the League, our first commitment is to the general membership. "For Phase one of the consensus we offered a panel of committee members and two en-lightened and comprehensive speakers responded to our invitation to speak on the subject of our consensus. "For phase II (which is due at the end of Feb. 1984) we have hew plans for the general membership -- three intimate and relaxed sessions in homes of Honolulu League members, each co-hosted. The meetings will have different home settings, different time-frames and dates, all in the same week. The same program will happen at all three meetings followed by different group discussions. "It presents a good opportunity to join in if you miss out the first time, or to bring a friend or pass the word, but most of all, to repeat and reinforce your information." * THE SCHEDULE FOR THESE EXCITING MEETINGS * Tuesday, February 14 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Claire Gregorcyk's 46-138 Hilinama Street Kaneohe Phone 247-1539 Co-hostess: Pat Shutt 239-8229 Wednesday, February 15 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. Sheila James'. 1161 Waiholo Street Waialae-Kahala Phone 373-4298 Co-hostess: Nan Luter 732-6013 Thursday, February 16 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.n.
