The conference, which is in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Barnard Center for Research on Women, will take place on Saturday, April 24, 1993. I do hope it will be possible for you to attend. In case the original letter was not received or has been misplaced, I am attaching a copy; it explains the concept of the conference, and your possible participation in it. Since invitations were first sent out, there have been a number of positive responses. Among them are Faye Wattleton; Marie Wilson, Director of the Ms. Foundation; Dr. Margaret Hamburg, Commissioner of the New York City Health Department; Julia Scott of the National Black Women's Health Project; Representative Marge Roukema; Prof. Ruth Mandel of the Center for American Women and Politics, Rutgers University; New York City Councilmember Ronnie Eldridge; New York State Assembly- woman Deborah Glick; Commissioner Barbara Sabol of the NYC Human Resources Administration; Alexis Gelber of Newsweek magazine; Dr. Kathleen Francovic of CBS News; Prof. Catharine R. Stimpson; and the Honorable Betty Ellerin. I will give your office a call in the near future to see if I may answer any questions, and to get your response. With best wishes, Leslie J. Calman, Ph.D. Director
