Background:
Congressman Meehan (D-MA) is an important national voice in the House of Representatives, especially as a leader in the battle to pass campaign finance reform. Meehan, along with Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) and Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Russ Feingold (D-WI), is the author of the bill that would reform the nation's campaign finance laws by banning soft money and placing reasonable limits on so called "issue ads." Meehan is a member of the Armed Services Committee and House Judiciary Committee - two very active committees since the September 11 terrorist attacks. Meehan is also recognized as one of the tobacco industry's toughest critics on Capitol Hill.
Seating is limited and
reservations are required. Please call the Club's receptionist at (202) 994-2355
for more information or to make reservations.
