I know this is an unusual request, but...
This applies to people in Illinois, apologies to others.
I just got off the phone with Jeff Friend from Channel 17 in Decatur. They are
having a (televised) panel in Decatur on GATT tonight, apparently it is a big
deal, the presidents of all the local unions will be there, the idea is to
"bring it all back home" by relating GATT to the local situation in Decatur.
Apparently they have a free-trader economist on the panel and want a progressive
economist to balance him out. I don't think a GATT expert is necessary, just a
progressive who can claim some "expertise" in economics.
Any takers?

(P.S. He doesn't want me apparently because I'm "too close" to the Decatur
unions--one of the Decatur 50--and he doesn't want the free-trader to feel
"ambushed")
