DESCRIPTION:Coalition for Justice in the Middle East Presents  The Peril of America's 
 Middle East Policies  with 22-year Republican U.S. congressman  Paul 
 Findley  Tuesday, Jan 25th, 7:00 PM, Stanford University, Bldg. 420-040   
 (Psychology Building- Jordan Hall)  A 22 year veteran of the U.S. Congress, 
 Paul Findley (R-IL) is most   remembered for speaking out against the 
 powerful pro-Israeli lobby,   which was ranked by Fortune Magazine as the 
 #2 strongest lobby in the   U.S. and has been described as "the 700 pound 
 gorilla in Washington",   and its role in driving U.S. foreign policy.  As 
 a Congressman, he also   led the fact-finding mission on the USS Liberty, 
 which was attacked by   Israel in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, and, in 1978, 
 met former   Palestinian Authority President and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat 
 and   received one of the first written statements denouncing violence and  
  dedicating the struggle to a state in the occupied territories   alongside 
 Israel. Paul Findley has written many books including "They   Dare to Speak 
 Out: People and Institutions Confront Israel's Lobby",   "Deliberate 
 Deceptions: Facing the Facts About the U.S.-Israeli   Relationship", 
 founded The Council for the National Interest, a   non-partisan grassroots 
 organization that advocates a new direction for   U.S. Middle East policy, 
 and has appeared on numerous programs   including NBC's Meet the Press, The 
 Today Show, and CNN Crossfire.       On January 25, Mr. Findley will speak 
 about the history of America's   failures in the Middle East and the 
 effects of its misguided foreign   policy in fomenting 'The War on 
 Terrorism'.  He will describe the   powerful interests on both sides of the 
 Congressional aisle that drive   one-sided policy and will provide a 
 practical solution to winning the   'War on Terrorism' and restoring 
 America's reputation worldwide.     To learn more about The Council for the
