<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<P>"The 2004 Election: Where Do We Go from Here?"</P>
<P>A dialogue with Palouse area citizens and students seeking meaning from the
2004 electoral results and their impact on us all. Is the deep division between
the parties and the presidential candidate supporters going to rule political
discourse and progress (or lack thereof)? Have we come through a dark period
into the broad, sunny uplands? How will these results shape our lives now and in
the near future? Is there anything citizens can do now? </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everyone is welcome at this most interesting
opportunity to talk about what just happened last Tuesday and get the
perspective and wisdom of two people who have "been there/done that."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The conversation will continue with a Wednesday
afternoon program where Democrat and Republican party faithful from Washington
and Idaho have been invited to talk about the future of the political
party.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </P>
<P>The Future of Political Parties, Moscow City Council Chambers, City Hall,
3:30 to 5 P.M.</P>
<P>Members will meet with local political advocates of Washington and Idaho
Democratic parties. County chairs of each major party in Latah and Whitman
Counties have been invited as have their Central Committee members. This
promises to be an interesting cross-party conversation on the Palouse.</P>

<P>The Congress to Campus Program sends bipartisan pairs of former Members of
Congress - one Democrat and one Republican - to visit college, university and
community college campuses around the country for two to three days. </P>
<P>Washington State University hosted a Congress to Campus program in April,
2004, and in cooperation with the University of Idaho, WSU and Idaho will be
hosting another visit from November 8-10, 2004. Guests for the November visit
are Orval Hansen, former Republican member from Idaho’s Second Congressional
District and Jim Lloyd, former Democratic member from California’s
35<SUP>th</SUP> Congressional District.</P>
<P>The former Members teach classes, hold colloquia and forums, and meet with
local community groups to provide insight and commentary about how Congress and
the government really work, along with an appeal to public service and an
important message about bipartisan cooperation. Host schools cover part of the
costs. The program is sponsored by the U. S. Association of Former Members of
Congress and is managed in partnership with the Stennis Center for Public
Service of the University of Mississippi and the Center for Excellence in
Government, headquartered in Washington, D.C.</P>

<H2>Jim Lloyd</H2></FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2>
<P>Jim Lloyd, currently serving various governmental entities as an adviser and
consultant, not only has been in Congress, but has served in the U.S. Navy as an
enlisted man, officer and Naval Aviator. During his naval career, he operated
from and with fourteen aircraft carriers from 1942 to 1963. Lloyd born in 1922,
started out as a farm boy on a farm in Washington state (Colton!) and
Canada. During his early days in Canada he rode horseback to school and attended
a one-room school. He attended high school in San Francisco, and graduated from
Klamath Falls High School in Oregon. Lloyd started to college at the University
of Oregon in 1940, finally being able to complete a Bachelor's Degree at
Stanford University in 1958. He finished his education with a Master's Degree in
Political Science at the University of Southern California in 1966. After
graduation from USC, Lloyd and his wife, Jackie started a public relations and
advertising firm in West Covina, California. He was elected to the West Covina
City Council in 1968, and in 1972 he was elected as Mayor of that City. By 1974
he was elected as a Democrat to serve as Congressman from the 35th Congressional
District in California. After serving three terms in Congress, Lloyd entered the
consulting and advising field with his wife as his partner in a bi-coastal
opepration, locating in both California and Washington, D.C. In addition to
working together, Jim and Jackie Lloyd celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary in November 1998. They have one son, Brian, and five grandchildren.
Some of his more interesting activities include flying his own aircraft and any
other he can get his hands on. He has amassed more than fourteen thousand hours
flying fixed-wing, gliders, and helicopters. During the Cuban Missile Crisis in
1963, he was the Director of Public Affairs and Cold War Activities at the U.S.
Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. During this potential war confrontation with
the Russians, Lloyd's wife and some were evacuated under emergency conditions
aboard as LST. In addition during this time of turmoil for the United States,
Lloyd was responsible for the briefing of over 1,000 media persons and provided
military and political briefings for many members of Congress. While he has been
involved in many community and charitable projects, Lloyd's current most
favorite thing to do is to be with his wife and family, including his
grandchildren. In conclusion, his feeling about life is: "If I had it to do
over, I would." He says his basic philosophy could be summed up as: "If it's
your problem, fix it; it it's not, stay out of
it".</P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
