California Primary - February 5, 2008

The Foreign Press Center will have a staff presence in Los Angeles, California for the primaries but will not be planning a filing center or official open tour.  Anyone interested in joining any aspects of the program if space allows should contact Chris Teal at tealcl@state.gov
