Seattle--

The Cato Institute will sponsor a policy forum entitled "The Coming Crisis in LTC Financing" on Wednesday, October 13, 1999 at 1000 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C.

The forum is open to the public. It will feature a presentation by Center for Long-Term Care Financing President Stephen Moses on the Center's new "Myth of Unaffordability" report and a response by Urban Institute Principal Research Associate Joshua Wiener, Ph.D. Other panelists are yet to be finalized, but will include representatives of seniors' organizations.

If you will be in the Washington, D.C. area on October 13th, don't miss this provocative discussion. If you cannot be there in person, watch the event live on Cato's web site, www.cato.org/

The following is a brief description of the Cato Institute from the think tank's web site:

"Founded in 1977, the Cato Institute is a nonpartisan public policy research foundation headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Institute is named for Cato's Letters, libertarian pamphlets that helped lay the philosophical foundation for the American Revolution. The Cato Institute seeks to broaden the parameters of public policy debate to allow consideration of more options that are consistent with the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, and peace. Toward that goal, the Institute strives to achieve greater involvement of the intelligent, concerned lay public in questions of policy and the proper role of government."
