George Will To Headline NCPA/Sumners Lecture Series

Will to Address the Political Argument Today and the Growing Role of Government

DALLAS, TX (February 4, 2009)-As the Obama Administration kicks off its first-year programs, especially administration of large federal bailout programs, the question of the role of government in business and how far government can encroach on the daily operations of those businesses is foremost in public policy debate. And as Republicans form their opposition to some of the Obama Administration policies, there's a looming question of how they will re-form their party. Addressing those questions and more, nationally syndicated columnist George Will will be the featured speaker at the next Hatton W. Sumners Distinguished Lecture Series luncheon sponsored by the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA).
