ORONO– Free tickets are still available for the Friday, May 9 University of Maine lecture featuring former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney. The lecture, scheduled for 11 a.m. in the Maine Center for the Arts, is UMaine’s fourth William S. Cohen Lecture.
Cohen, the Bangor native who represented Maine in Congress for 24 years and served as Secretary of Defense in the Clinton administration, will also participate in the event. Cohen will make introductory remarks before Mulroney’s lecture.
The title of Mulroney’s talk will be “Canada and the U.S.: Friends and Neighbors in the Post-September 11 World.”
In 1984, Mulroney became Canada’s 18th prime minister when he led the Progressive Conservative party to the largest victory in that nation’s history. He was re-elected four years later, becoming the first Canadian prime minister in 35 years to win successive majority governments.
Those interested in attending should contact the Maine Center for the Arts Box Office at 581-1755 or 1-800-MCA-TIXX.
