Lincoln (Neb.) - April 1, 1998 - A bipartisan examination of the problem of entitlement reform will be the subject of the 19th annual E.J. Faulkner Lecture April 17 at the University of Nebraska.
Nebraska's U.S. senators, Democrat Bob Kerrey and Republican Chuck Hagel, will speak on the subject at 10 a.m. in Kimball Recital Hall on City Campus. Following their separate addresses, Kerrey and Hagel will accept questions from the audience.
