"One of the Graziadio School's core is its ability to successfully address the unique challenges of executive learning. This forum is an important part of an effort to extend Pepperdine's reputation and recognition in this arena. It provides an opportunity for world-class thought leaders in knowledge creation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge utilization to come together in an informal setting to discuss the key challenges of executive learning and leadership development ," said Dr. Robert Fulner.*4 It's our pleasure to post the academic and educational activities of the Graziadio School of Pepperdine University most recently for our broad business and public administration world as in the following: Noel Tichy on The Cycle of Leadership Presented by Management Partners*5 In his book The Leadership Engine, management guru Noel Tichy showed how great companies strive to identify and develop their leaders.

S. Senator Harry Reid believes that creating a national boxing commission will boost our tourism industry By PAI of WBTI*1 The following is our post of "WHIP ROUND UP" which we received on April 2, 2004 from the Office of the Assistant Democratic Leader --- U. S. Senator Harry Reid in Washington, D. C.:*2 "Reid for Nevada" ***Reid Continues Fight to Lower Nevada Gas Prices *Responding to Senator Harry Reid's demand for a probe into skyrocketing gas prices, the Federal Trade Commission this week said recent price increases in Nevada were greater than anticipated, based on market conditions. The FTC will continue to investigate whether price manipulation occurred. Meanwhile, Reid urged President Bush to pressure Saudi Arabia and other members of the OPEC cartel to cancel a planned cut in oil production. ***Reid and McCain Support National Boxing Commission *Senator Reid, a former boxer, joined Senator John McCain (R-AZ) in sponsoring a bill to create a national boxing commission. Reid said the panel will protect a sport that is vital to Nevada's tourism industry. The commission would not supersede the high standards of the Nevada Athletic Commission, but would set minimum standards that other states would have to meet. ***Working with Nevadans *Las Vegan Gale Lauer with the Parkinson's Action Network met with Senator Reid and thanked him for his support for increased stem cell research at the National Institutes of Health. *Congressional Youth Leadership students Timothy Zecher of Sparks and Zack Taylor-Warren of Reno visited Senator Reid. *Sun Valley high school student Brittany Kelly met Senator Reid while she was in Washington D.C. with Citizen Alert, a grassroots group opposing the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump. *Heather Murren, President of the Nevada Cancer Institute, met with Senator Reid to thank him for his continued support for cancer research. *The National Landscape Conservation System Coalition presented a Wilderness Award to Senator Reid for his continued efforts to protect and preserve Nevada wilderness. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign congratulate Shannon Eagan, Nevada's 2004 Cherry Blossom Princess who is representing the Silver State in the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. Shannon works in Senator Reid's press office. "Week in Review" ***Child Care Funding Gets Boost - In an overwhelming bipartisan vote, the Senate voted Tuesday to increase childcare funding for low income families by $6 billion over the next five years. The measure is part of a larger bill to extend the 1996 welfare reform law. Statistics show that people who receive assistance with childcare are 40 percent more likely to find a job and permanently leave the welfare rolls. Other Democratic amendments to the welfare bill, including a measure to increase the minimum wage, have been blocked by Republican leaders. ***Rice To Testify Before Commission- In an agreement between the White House and members of the 9/11 Commission, National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice will testify under oath on Thursday, April 8, in a 2 ?-hour public session. She will answer questions about the Bush Administration's counter-terrorism efforts leading up to the 9/11 attacks. President Bush and Vice President Cheney have agreed to meet with members of the Commission in private. The Commission's report is scheduled to be released on July 26. ***Reid Remembers Chavez- Senator Reid delivered a statement on the Senate floor on Wednesday honoring Cesar Chavez, the founder of the United Farm Workers who was born on March 31,1927. Chavez was guided by the principle of non-violence, and he dedicated his life to helping migrant farm workers and others who had no voice. "INSIDER'S CALENDAR" The Senate will convene Monday, April 5, at 1:00 p.m., with a period of morning business. No roll call votes will occur on Monday or Tuesday. The next roll call vote will occur on Wednesday, April 7, at 2:15 p.m., on cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 2207, the emergency room medical malpractice bill. "Reid's Words" Creating a national boxing commission will boost our tourism industry by preventing fighters such as Mike Tyson, who was stripped of his boxing license in Nevada, from “forum shopping "in other states with lower standards." *3 http://reid.senate.gov Fax: (202) 228-7362 Phone: (202) 224 - WHIP ------------------------------ References *1.PAI of WBTI is the initials of Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). *2.
