Yesterday I sent a note to Politech (http://www.politechbot.com/p-04501.html) reporting what the "buzz" was about the level of Valenti's honorarium. But it turns out the the buzz was wrong, and the MPAA's response to Politech is below. -Declan --- >For the record, the Frey Lecture at Duke provides a $5,000 honorarium to >participating speakers. Mr. Valenti gives many, many speeches over the >course of a year and, whenever an honorarium is presented, he contributes >that sum to a Washington-based charity called Woodley House. Woodley >House is a nationally recognized model program based on a unique recovery >approach. On a daily basis, Woodley House provides a continuum of consumer >centered care for over 200 persons with mental disabilities. Woodley House >programs provide varying degrees of support that allow individuals to move >towards self-sufficiency within appropriately supportive environments that >meet individual recovery needs. > >While I doubt that you will share this information concerning the good >works of Woodley House with your readers, I would hope that, as a >journalist, you would set the record straight on the amount and direct >beneficiary of the honorarium. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
