This email was sent to all Washington Area employees last Thursday:
FOR: All DOC Employees located in the Herbert C. Hoover Building
and in the Washington Metropolitan Area
Please join Dr. Samspon as he hosts author, Steven Hayward, here at the
Herbert C. Hoover Building on Wednesday, December 6th. Hayward will
discuss his unexpected discovery, during his ongoing biographical research
and writing about the Reagan presidency, of the startling number of
parallels and similarities between Reagan and Winston Churchill, which led
him to write an entirely separate book, Greatness: Reagan, Churchill, and
the Making of Extraordinary Leaders. Hayward will outline these parallels
and distill what can be learned and applied from them today.
Date: Wednesday, December 6th
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Location: DOC Law Library (Room 1894)

Who is Dr. Sampson? He's the
Deputy Secretary of Commerce, a political appointee.
Who is Steven Hayward? He's the author of
"The Real Jimmy Carter: How Our Worst Ex-President
Undermines American Foreign Policy, Coddles Dictators and Created the Party of Clinton and Kerry"This author, and the topic of Reagan's greatness, has nothing to do with the Department of Commerce's mission. It's also a real slap in the face to all Democrats who work for Commerce to invite an author to speak who puts a Republican ex-President on a pedestal and trashes a Democratic ex-President, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize(!), and the party of Clinton and Kerry!
