legislation exempting the company from taxation is Keith Sibelius, U.S. Representative from the first Congressional District of Kansas. In a letter to Hall, he said, "If it is proper to exempt a company selling insurance and annuities to teachers in our society, then it is equally proper to exempt any company created to sell insurance to architects, lawyers, engineers, plumbers, farmers and every other occupation in our society."
Two organizations opposed to exemption legislation are the National Association of Life Underwriters, and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NALU and NAIC).

Zoglin said the first part of the program is an updated version of Rossini's short comic opera "The Marriage Contract."

Dances have been drafted from leading ballet companies including the American Ballet theater, New York City Ballet, and Harkness Ballet, Zoglin said.
