And that's what we're trying to achieve," Israel
remarked.

trustees, young political leaders, and Washington

the House Thomas Foley, former House Minority
Leader Robert Michel, former White House Chief
of Staff Leon Panetta, and former Governor of
New Jersey and EPA Administrator Christine Todd
Whitman.
