Fifth Annual Bennett Forum on the Presidency The Harry S.Truman Library Institute’s fifth annual Howard and Virginia Bennett Forum on the Presidency is planned for the evening of October 29, 2011. This year’s program will feature Senator Bob Kerrey, moderator; former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Senator Chuck Hagel and Leslie Gelb, President Emeritus for the Council on Foreign Relations. The theme selected for the 2011 Bennett Forum is Presidential Power Abroad: From Truman to Obama. The program’s focus on foreign policy is especially timely given the numerous, grave foreign policy challenges currently facing our nation. The importance of the topic, as well as the participation of these distinguished statesmen, guarantees that the upcoming Bennett Forum will be as fascinating and well-attended as past programs. Please mark your calendars for the fifth installment of Kansas City’s most anticipated, politically-themed program.
