Janet Reno will be speaking next Sunday at the State University of New
York at Brockport, which is north of Rochester, NY. See article below. A
number of PIEN list members are planning to attend, and we're hoping to
hear her say she will be more active in PD advocacy, now that she has
retired from the government. We'll let you all know what happens.

Janet Reno to give talk at SUNY Brockport
Former U.S. attorney general will discuss personal challenges
(March 11, 2001) -- Former U.S. Attorney General
Janet Reno will lecture at the State University
College at Brockport campus on Sunday, March 25.
Her talk will cover everything from her time in the
Clinton administration to the personal challenges
she's faced in life, said Mark Midkiff, president of
the Brockport Student Government, which is
sponsoring the talk.
"She has some story to tell," he said.
Her time in office was fraught with controversy,
from the deaths of 86 people in a standoff with
federal agents in Waco, Texas, to charges by
Congressional Republicans that she helped cover up
Clinton administration wrongdoing.
Reno announced in 1995 that she had been diagnosed
with Parkinson's disease.
Her lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Brockport's
Tuttle North Complex.
The center holds 2,400, and Brockport Student
Government is hoping for a sell-out crowd.
Admission is free for SUNY Brockport students; $4
for faculty, staff and alumni; and $5 for the
general public. Tickets are available at the SUNY
Brockport Student Government Box Office in the
Seymour College Union, or call 395-2487. Tickets
also are available through Ticketmaster at 232-1900.
