Dear Friend,

Twice a year, Bob Novak invites a small number of people to join him in a private briefing with several of the country's most influential leaders.

And now you can join them!

This meeting is strictly off the record, and what is said there remains one of Washington's best-kept secrets.

For more than 30 years, government, business and political leaders have attended Bob's biannual Evans-Novak Political Forum. These high-ranking officials openly discuss the most important topics facing the country, including national security, politics on the Hill, and the economy. During the discussion, the speakers field questions from the attendees.

You can ask them anything you want, and remarkably candid responses are given.

The next Evans-Novak Political Forum will be Thursday, September 22, 2005, at The University Club in Washington, D.C. As always, the speaker list is shaping up to be impressive.

Previous Speakers Include:

Colin Powell, Former Secretary of State
Bob Schrum, 2004 Kerry Campaign Advisor
Dick Cheney, Vice President
Al Gore, Former Vice President
Sen. Bill Frist (R.-Tenn.), Senate Majority Leader
Sen. Harry Reid (D.-Nev.), Senate Minority Leader
Rep. Tom Delay (R.-Tex.), House Majority Leader
Karl Rove, Assistant to the President, Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor
Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State
Ken Mehlman, RNC Chairman
As you can imagine, the people on this list are extremely busy. Even at the last minute our attendees are never left wanting. For example, at a recent Forum then Secretary of State Colin Powell made a surprise visit and discussed Iraq, Libya and other pressing issues for an hour.

This is not an event you want to miss as we expect the surprises to continue.

Important note: To ensure the intimate nature of this working session, only 85 people are allowed to attend. Seats are filling up, so sign up today!

Given this limited number of attendees, the stature of the speakers, and the confidential nature of the meeting, this Forum is rarely publicized. In fact, the Forum always has been and will continue to be one of Washington's best-kept secrets.

You are among the very few to be invited to the upcoming Evans-Novak Political Forum. The registration fee is $595 per person. And as a special benefit, you may bring up to two guests for just $395 per person.

Plus, as an added benefit of signing up today you will be automatically registered for a chance to win a private dinner with me, and seven other attendees the evening before the Forum on September 21.

Click here or call 202-216-0601, ext.443 to reserve your seat today.

I hope to see you on September 22.

Sincerely,
James Glassman

I offer a similar briefing every month at a Chinatown dim sum emporium and I only ask that my bill be covered by guests.

You don't eat $600 worth of dim sum, do you?
