During
Senator George Mitchell’s illustrious 14-year career in the
U.S. Senate – he served six years as Majority Leader and was
characterized by the high honor of bipartisan respect. The senator’s
exceptional diplomatic abilities were demonstrated on a global scale
when the British and Irish governments asked that he serve as chairman
of peace negotiations in Northern Ireland. His latest best seller,
Making Peace, is a personal retrospective of his role as chairman
of the interparty negotiations that ultimately resulted in an accord
overwhelmingly supported by Irish voters. The depth of Senator Mitchell’s
career is extraordinary. His vast contributions and proven leadership
are invaluable to the United States and to the world community in
their scope, effectiveness, and global impact. An eloquent speaker
with a keen sense of humor Senator Mitchell is an authority on a
wide-range of domestic and global issues including finance, health
care, welfare reform, education, the environment, and foreign policy.
The Honorable Alan Simpson
One
of the most colorful and influential of American leaders, Alan Simpson
combines western wit and scathing honesty to tackle the most contentious
of subjects. After ten years as Senate Republican whip, this Wyoming
legislator continues to play a central role in national leadership.
Author of Right in the Old Gazoo: A Lifetime of Scrapping with the
Press, Simpson offers his audiences cutting-edge commentary, belly-laugh
anecdotes and a healthy dose of reality in the midst of continuous
media hype. Never shying away from controversy, Alan Simpson continues
to voice his opinion on topics like, the energy crisis, national
defense, taxes and health care issues.
Simpson served in the United States Senate from 1978 to 1997, acting
as party whip for ten of those years. He was an active force on
the Judiciary Committee, Finance Committee, Environment and Public
Works Committee and a Special Committee on Aging. A veteran who
served in Germany during the final months of the Allied occupation,
he served as chair of the Veteran Affairs Committee. Currently a
partner in a Washington-based government relations firm, Simpson
is also a partner in a Denver-based law firm and a visiting lecturer
at the University of Wyoming.
