THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
April 27, 1992
On Wednesday, September 16, 1992 United Methodist Men nationwide will be holding a World Order and World Peace Conference in the Dirksen Senate Building, Room 106. We invite you, as one of the staunch 13 United Methodist Senators and 67 United Methodist Representatives, to tell us in 3 to a maximum of 5 minutes your views on how to get to world peace and world order as early as possible in the next century.
The issue we would like for you to address is "How to provide the leadership to eliminate armed conflict and poverty in the world." We-understand that there are three basic ways being proposed. Perhaps you know of others. The three of which we speak are:
1. Leadership by the United States 2. Leadership by a strengthened United Nations 3. Leadership by a Federal Union of the Industrialized Democracies
We also invite you to lunch with our 200 United Methodist delegates from 12:00 noon until 1:30 p.m. in the Hart Senate Building, Room 902 to mingle with the delegates. There are approximately 4,500 men in the United Methodist denomination, and an equal number of women. We intend to advise them of the various views expressed by your congress people.
Please advise us by June 1, 1992 if you can honor us with your presence for at least the 5 minutes of your address. If unable, would you please appoint one of your staff to read your address to us and provide us with the name of this individual. We are en- closing 1 lunch ticket to be used by you or your aide.
If you have any questions, please call Captain Tom Hudgens at 303/781-2343.
Sincerely yours,

WE HAVE THAT JOB
