This is our first meeting of the new Inillennium; and it is a historic opportunity fo r all of us. I look forward to seeing you at the panel and poster sessions, the workshops, the roundtables, the plenary sessions, the first ACJS Town Meeting, the section meetings, the regional meetings, and the receptions. Rick Holden, the Chair of the 2000 Program Committee, and all the Committee members have created a memorable program. For the first tilne, participants were able to submit abstracts directly through the ACJS website, to view the complete program on the website, and to register fo r the meeting through the website. I am delighted that n1any of you chose to use the website fo r your communications. I am confident that future ACJS Program Committees will continue to refine and revise the process. Thanks, Rick! You and the Committee are to be commended. There are six plenary sessions this year beginning on Wednesday n10111ing with Dr. Elizabeth Hull, who will speak on "Presidential Politics and Crin1e Policy". On Wednesday afternoon, General Barry McCaffe ry will speak on "Drug Control Strategies in the New Millennium". On Thursday, the Presidential Address is scheduled.

I hope that you will be able to participate in all of these plenary addresses along with the other sessions. If all goes as planned, we will have many opportunities to meet during the course of the meeting. I am confident that you will find the 37th Annual Meeting to be informative and interesting. It is my sincere hope that you will gather new knowledge, renew old acquaintances and meet new colleagues, and gather infol111ation that will prepare you to inform policy makers, community leaders, citizens. and students about the latest research and future trends.

Merlo President, ACJS 2 20()() Program Chair's Message Annual Ivleeting The members of the 2000 Annual Meeting Program Committee and I welcome you to h New Orleans and the 37t Annual Meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Our program is probably the biggest one that the Academy has ever had with over 400 scheduled sessions. I hope that you will have the opportunity to participate in the plenary sessions, panels, roundtables, workshops, tours, and receptions. In the Exhibit Hall this year, there will be approximately 50 exhibitor booths. Publishers are planning to demonstrate their latest academic software in the technology room which is located right near the Exhibit Hall. Be sure to pay them a visit. This year, for the first time, meeting participants were able to submit their abstracts via e­ mail and the ACJS website. Although the system was not flawless, it signals a new era in our Annual Meeting process. I hope that future Program Committees will continue to use the website to disseminate information about our meeting and to encourage participants. th The complete 37 Annual Meeting Program has been available on the website since January. Thus far, more than 11,000 visitors have gone to our website. A number of colleagues have made significant contributions to the Program Committee this year. In particular, I would like to thank my colleagues in the Criminal Justice Department at Central Missouri State University. Their support, along with that of my Graduate Assistants and our Department Secretary, Barbara McNeel, is greatly appreciated. Thanks! A special thank you to Laura Monaco and Liz Trisko at the National Office in Alexandria. They were very willing to experiment with a new program format, and together we learned how to solve some of our first year technology trials. th To all the members of the 37 Annual Program Committee, a heartfelt thank you. This Annual Meeting Program is due largely to your efforts. From publicity to poster sessions, and from featured panels to plenary sessions, you folks made it all happen.
