Bennett to Replace Limbaugh at Claremont Dinner

The Claremont Institute announced Wednesday that Rush Limbaugh will not be in attendance at the Institute's annual Churchill Dinner on Friday, Nov. 21, 2003.

Mr. Limbaugh was to receive the Claremont Institute's Statesmanship Award at that time.

From his New York studio, Rush said: "Because I must limit my travel for the remainder of this year, I am unable to attend the Claremont Institute's Churchill Dinner on November 21. I deeply regret the inconvenience and disappointment caused the Claremont Institute by my having to postpone my appearance at such a late date. However, I am hopeful that we can re-schedule my attendance at another event in 2004. I greatly admire and respect the Claremont Institute and am very honored to have been chosen for this prestigious award."

We are certain that our guests will have a fun and exciting evening at the Churchill Dinner, the premier conservative event in Southern California.

The Institute announced that Dr. William J. Bennett, recently appointed Washington Fellow of the Claremont Institute, will deliver the keynote address at the event.

Dr. Bennett served President Ronald Reagan as secretary of education and as chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. He served in the George H.W. Bush administration as the nation's first drug czar. Dr. Bennett is the co-director of Empower America and has authored or edited over 15 books.

Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt will be the master of ceremonies.
