On May 21st, 1996, PBS videotaped the proceedings of a
public policy forum organized by the Partnership for
Responsible Drug Information (PRDI), which was entitled
"Seeking Solutions to Problems With Our Drug Policy" and
which featured a keynote speech by Baltimore Mayor Kurt L.
Schmoke. PBS videotaped the proceedings as possible footage
for its syndicated show "Rights and Wrongs: Human Rights
Television" with Charlayne Hunter-Gault.

We have been advised that PBS will utilize clips from the
PRDI forum in a nationally broadcast presentation of "Rights
and Wrongs". The half hour show, which is entitled "Human
Rights and the War on Drugs", will air during the period of
July 18th through July 24th, 1996. A schedule of stations
and broadcast times follows at the end of this post.

"Human Rights and the War on Drugs" will feature an
interview with President Clinton's 'Drug Czar', General
Barry McCaffrey. Also featured will be Richard Stratton,
editor of Prison Life Magazine, and Jamie Fellner of Human
Rights Watch.

Please watch "Human Rights and the War on Drugs" and inform
your colleagues and friends of its broadcast schedule.
