On 9/11 at 7 pm, the Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution welcomes living legend Daniel Schorr to Ham Hall on the campus of UNLV. Mr. Schorr has covered nearly every major news event since World War II. In 1957 he scored an exclusive interview with Nikita Khrushchev. During the Watergate hearings, Daniel Schorr's name appeared on the infamous Nixon's enemies list. Schorr provoked intense controversy in 1976 when he received and made public the contents of the secret Pike Committee report on illegal CIA and FBI activities. Called to testify before Congress, he refused to identify his source on First Amendment grounds, risking imprisonment. In 1979 Schorr was one of the first journalists to be hired by Ted Turner for a little known news network called CNN. Who better to offer perspective on the attacks of 9/11 than Daniel Schorr. The Saltman Center has asked the RELS help with some of the logistics for the event. We would be most grateful for any member who could help out.
