Speakers included President Jimmy Carter; Ambassador Max M. Kampelman; Professor Shibley Telhami, University of Maryland; Morton Halperin, senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations; Andrew Natsios, administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development; Stephen J. Solarz, senior counselor, APCO Worldwide; Lorne Craner, assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights, and labor; Elliott Abrams, senior director for democracy, human rights, and international operations, National Security Council; Professor John Norton Moore, University of Virginia; John Kamm, executive director, Dui Hua Foundation; William Clatanoff, assistant U.S. trade representative for labor; Holly Burkhalter, advocacy director, Physicians for Human Rights; and Marc Leland, president, Marc Leland & Associates. Also featured were Congressmen Tom Lantos and Frank Wolf, co-directors of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus.
