BOND, ASHCROFT LISTENING POST TODAY

Tom Schulte, a representative of U.S. Sens. Christopher "Kit" Bond and John Ashcroft, will meet with constituents at a Listening Post forum today at 3:30 p.m. at the Jackson Chamber of Commerce office.

"These special forums offer area residents the chance to meet with members of my staff and discuss problems and opinions," said Bond. "My staff and I can act as a guide through the governmental maze," he said.

Ashcroft said, "Too often, special interests have spoken more loudly in Washington than the people. With Listening Posts, our offices go directly to the people."
