LITERATURE + LECTURES

Holocaust Museum Houston presents An Insider's Perspective from the White House, Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at  7:00 PM. Location:  University Theater, Houston Baptist University, 7502 Fondren Road, Houston, TX 77074.

Andrew H. Card, Jr., (pictured) was appointed chief of staff in the presidential administration of Texas Gov. George W. Bush. Card was chosen because of his impressive service record in the public and private sector, including serving in the administrations of two former presidents. Card's last day was April 14, 2006, making him the second-longest serving White House chief of staff.

Card is expected to discuss global issues as they relate to America, particularly, terrorism, national security, genocide and human rights and will offer insight into how the executive branch of government is motivated to act and formulate policies on genocide and human rights issues.

This appearance is part of The Lester and Sue Smith Distinguished Lecture Series.
