Bar/Media Speech

Just returned from the International Press Center where I gave the principal speech re media law in the U.S. and how it can impact and help journalists and lawyers in W. African countries. I also spoke about my mission here. The speech was well attended though no one arrived from the U.S. Amb's office. Of course the last thing our governmentt would want to do is give attention to the press or its lawyers so I am not surprised. Channel 3 here covered the event and is putting it on the local news. I had many good questions and the evening seemed successful. Later, refreshments were served and the crowd of about 90 persons mixed well.


Attached are some pics of the event. Tom I will spend the day with the media from The Gambia where my help is sorely (no pun) needed. Good night everyone.
