Sen. Lamar Alexander and Leading Conservative Commentators Examine Prospects for Limited Government in the 112th Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the 112th Congress prepares to take office, Hudson Institute will host a conference to re-examine the themes of the critically acclaimed 1995 volume The New Promise of American Life (Hudson Institute Press). Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), the Chair of the Senate Republican Conference, will keynote the event and offer his candid reflections on "Less from Washington, More of Ourselves."

A panel discussion, moderated by Kate O'Beirne, will follow Senator Alexander's remarks. Panelists include Christopher DeMuth, Chester Finn, William Kristol, and William Schambra.

In 1995, Lamar Alexander, then a former Governor and cabinet secretary preparing a run for the presidency, and Chester Finn, then a Hudson Institute Senior Fellow, published The New Promise of American Life. The book examined how the expansion of the federal government might be reversed through a devolution of power to states, localities, and civil society; and through a renewed culture of voluntarism and entrepreneurship.

Panelists will examine why this vision got derailed post-1995, and how it is even more urgent post-2010.

RSVP to [email protected] with 'New Promise' as the subject line.

Lunch will be served.
