As one of your benefits of Future Forum membership, I'm pleased to invite you to a select "Friends of the LBJ Library" event: An Evening With Chuck Robb. Senator Robb will share his views on issues relevant to America's future on the home front and abroad.

He will discuss our role as an international power, in light of September 11th and rising tensions in the Middle East, how recent elections will shape our decisions with regard to homeland security and war in Iraq, and why our nation must continue to participate in supervising democratic elections and assisting with rules of government around the world. From his perspective as a dedicated public servant, Robb will also discuss what he views as the responsibilities of a good public servant. Please join us for this candid forum with Chuck Robb.

From his days commanding a Marine Corps infantry company in Vietnam to his 12 years in the U.S. Senate, Charles S. Robb has taken the idea of public service to heart. For most of the quarter century before joining the faculty at George Mason University as Distinguished Professor of Law and Public Policy in 2001, Senator Robb held elected office in Virginia.

He served as Lieutenant Governor from 1978 until 1982, as Governor from 1982 until 1986, and as a United States Senator from 1988 until 2001. During the 1960s, Senator Robb served on active duty with the United States Marine Corps and retired from the Marine Corps Reserve in 1991.

His assignments included duty as a military social aide at the White House and command of an infantry company in combat in Vietnam. While a distinguished Senator from Virginia, Robb served on the Armed Service, Intelligence and Foreign Relations, the Finance, Commerce, and Budget Committees as well as the Joint Economic Committee and the Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs.

Robb also served his party as Chairman of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and as Deputy Democratic Whip for the South. In addition to his teaching, Senator Robb serves on the Board of Visitors of the U.S. Naval Academy, as well as the boards of several technology-related corporations and national security-based or education-based foundations.

This year, he was a Fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard. A special reception for Future Forum Members, with guest Senator Robb, will immediately follow the lecture in the Atrium on the 8th floor of the library. We hope that you will join us.
