Pelosi Addresses Golden State Roundtable -- California Capitol Hill Bulletin -- Volume 10, Bulletin 5 -- March 6, 2003

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (San Francisco) was the guest speaker at a California State Society Golden State Roundtable lunch on Tuesday, March 4. Ms. Pelosi lauded the State Society for its bipartisan efforts and called on the audience to continue to communicate on a bipartisan basis for the good of California and the nation.

Minority Leader Pelosi also shared her thoughts regarding a recent trip to Turkey and other countries in the Middle East. She stated that she hoped Turkey would allow the United States to use military bases in its country if a war occurred, because it would mitigate the harm to U.S. troops if the United States can also launch a northern assault. She also made clear that although she opposes a war against Iraq, if war comes she will give her full cooperation in order to reduce the harm to our troops.
