The original notice you posted to IP had some editing artifacts due to 
the
fact I was on a slow line with a small screen and all thumbs .  Here's 
the
announcement without the artifacts and noise.  Sorry for any 
confusion...

Synopsis:

The Science and Technology policies embraced by the winner of the 
upcoming
election will impact everyone. There are significant, substantive
differences between the Science and Technology policies championed by
the Bush administration and those that would be implemented by a Kerry
administration.  In an election campaign given to campaign rhetoric,
talking points, four-word sound bytes, and spin, many of the real issues
of particular interest to scientists and engineers (and others) have
gotten lost.

To explore the issues, we have invited two highly qualified speakers to
describe the Science and Technology policies we might expect following
the election: one from the Bush point of view, and the other from the
Kerry point of view.  The speakers are not surrogates for the 
candidates,
but they do have intimate personal knowledge of the policy issues and
can compare and contrast positions.
