    What:   Arnold Schwarzenegger, the architect and sponsor of
            Proposition 49, will outline the initiative's plan to
            create a safe, educationally-enriching and fun after
            school environment at all of California's public
            elementary and middle schools.

            Mark Baldassare, Director of Research at the Public Policy
            Institute of California, will unveil his new report
            entitled "Coping with Homeland Security in California:
            Surveys of City Officials and State Residents." This
            report is the first comprehensive analysis of the ways in
            which city officials and citizens in California are
            responding to homeland security issues. It offers a
            "snapshot in time," when city officials and state
            residents are in the early stages of assessing the new
            realities confronting local governments a year after the
            terrorist attacks on America.

            Studies indicate that more than 5 million people will
            require housing in California cities over the next decade.
            Henry Cisneros, former Secretary of Housing and Urban
            Development, will discus how California can confront the
            crisis that this population boom will place on housing,
            infrastructure development and governmental agencies.
