For Immediate Release: June 9, 2005

Congressman John Conyers (D. - Mich.), the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary
Committee, working with AfterDowningStreet.org, has scheduled hearings
on the Downing Street Minutes and related evidence to be held on
Capitol Hill on Thursday, June 16 (time and place to be determined).

Numerous Congress members will take part, along with an ambassador, a WMD expert, a CIA analyst with 27 years experience, parents who have lost sons in Iraq, a constitutional lawyer, and other witnesses.

Following the hearings, Congressman Conyers will attempt to deliver to the President a letter signed by 500,000 Americans asking him to reply to questions raised by the Downing Street Minutes. Supporters will rally in Lafayette Square Park. (Time to be determined.)

ADS is a coalition of veterans' groups, peace groups, and political activist groups, which launched on May 26, 2005, a campaign to urge the U.S. Congress to begin a formal investigation into whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war.
