Representative says reports premature on Clinton speech
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is not releasing the name of the speaker for the Dole Lecture series on May 18.
The University Daily Kansan reported last week that former Sen. Bob Dole had invited former President Bill Clinton to be the speaker. A representative from the institute said such media reports were premature.
Mike Marshall, press secretary for Dole, said as far as he knew Dole had offered the invitation and Clinton had accepted.
Clinton's office in New York said it could not release any information about the former president's schedule.
Ticket information and the speaker's identification will be released soon, the institute said.

The tribunal, with a 2004-2005 budget of $75 million, will also prosecute any members of Saddam's regime who are charged, Qanbar said.
A date has yet to be set for the trial of Saddam.
The court and prosecutors will determine charges against Saddam and his former officials, Qanbar said.
He said the tribunal will be an Iraqi court and will rely on a mix of Iraqi criminal law, international regulations such as the Geneva Convention and experiences of bodies such as the Rwanda war crimes tribunal.
the judges and prosecutors will be trained in those areas, he added.
Qanbar said the first batch of judges and prosecutors have been selected by the Iraqi Governing Council's judicial committee and Chalabi, the head of the court. Further appointments will be made in the future.
