THE NATIONAL ISSUES CONVENTION ON PBS SET TO
LAUNCH 1996 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN SEASON
-Why is the ''Deliberative Poll" different from all other polls?-
(WASHINGTON D.C., December 8, 1995)- The Florida straw poll is over; an army of surveyors
has descended on more than 100 communities nationwide in search of citizen delegates; and. National
Public Radio (NPR) has signed on as a simulcast partner with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
The National Issues Convention is fast approaching.
In a groundbreaking experiment in American democracy, 600 citizens - a scientifically selected
representative sample of the U.S. population -will convene in Austin, Texas, to deliberate on some of
the key issues facing the nation. As part of the project, they will question the 1996 presidential
candidates directly about those issues - on live television and radio. The National Issues Convention
(NIC), set for January 18-21, 1996, at the University of Texas at Austin, is co-sponsored by the
University and the nation's 11 Presidential Libraries. PBS will televise the proceedings in three national
broadcasts- Jan. 20, 21 and 26- produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions and moderated by Jim
Lehrer of The Newshour With Jim Lehrer.
The focal point of the Convention is the "deliberative poll," a new method of public opinion research.
Unlike ordinary surveys, which offer only a snapshot of what the public is thinking, the deliberative
poll will show what citizens think about the issues as they become more informed about them through
study and deliberation. Conceived by University of Texas professor James Fishkin, the NIC
deliberative poll will measure participants' attitudes both before and after the Austin gathering, seeking
to quantify the impact of the deliberative process on delegates' thinking. The NIC poll and discussions
will focus on three broad issue areas: the economy; the state of the family; and America's role in a postCold War world.

At a time when the public seems disenchanted with political campaigns and how they are covered, this
innovative and provocative forum will offer a unique opportunity for an unfiltered exchange between an
informed and truly representative sample of the American people and those who seek their votes.
Professor Fishkin, who tested his deliberative poll concept with a national sample of British voters
broadcast on Britain's Channel4 in April1994 and May 1995, said, "For the first time in American
history, we will assemble a microcosm of the entire country in one room to deliberate on key issues in a
presidential campaigQ. It's a daunting challenge, but one that will move the discussion beyond slogans
and negative ads."
The Convention sessions with the presidential candidates will air in both live and repeat PBS·broadcasts
on Saturday and Sunday, January 20-21, 1996 (see page 3 for schedule). A 90-minute wrap-up report,
which will reveal the results of the follow-up deliberative poll, will air on Friday, January 26, 1996, at
9:00 p.m. ET. The program will reach beyond the Austin weekend, placing the results of the
deliberative poll in a broader national context.
''We're proud to be a partner in this exciting undertaking," said Ervin S. Duggan, PBS president and
CEO. ''The NIC has the potential to help encourage deliberative discourse at a key point in the campaign
season. It will also demonstrate, in a profound and immediate way, how public television can encourage
understanding by featuring sound analysis rather than sound bites."
Co-chairs of the National Advisory Committee for the NIC are Charls Walker and Newton Minow, who
also co-chaired the 1976 Presidential Debate Commission. A bipartisan committee chaired by former
members of Congress Barbara Jordan (D-TX) and Bill Frenzel (R-MN) has reviewed all briefing
materials. The poll research and delegate recruiting is being conducted by the National Opinion Research
Center (NORC) of the University of Chicago. The design of the delegate questionnaire and other aspects
of the research are being supervised by a team led by University of Michigan's Professor Philip
Converse, a leading authority in public opinion research.
Researchers began seeking participants November 1 in an exhaustive process that will conclude in
December. Public Agenda and the Kettering Foundation have developed the materials for the smallgroup discussions to be led by trained moderators from the National Issues Forums, a
-more-

non-partisan network of citizen organizations that regularly convenes deliberative forums on a wide
range of issues.
Major funding and in-kind support are being provided by Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation), the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Southwestern Bell, American Airlines, and the City of
Austin. PBS is underwriting television coverage of the event.
The NIC is produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions. Lester M. Crystal is executive producer of The
Newshour With Jim Lehrer, Dan Werner, vice president of MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, is executive
producer of the National Issues Convention broadcast.
The National Issues Convention is a major component of the Democracy Project, a special PBS
multimedia initiative offering an enlivened, revitalized approached to news and public affairs
programming, with an emphasis on election coverage. Building upon PBS's traditional strengths of indepth programming and diversity of viewpoints, the Democracy Project focuses on the power of the
deliberative process among voters, rather than the pervasive sound bite. The Democracy Project is
funded in part by The CIT Group.
The current schedule for PBS coverage of the National Issues Convention follows.
Times and lengths may change; please check local listings. NPR will simulcast the live sessions.
• Saturday, January 20, 8:00p.m. ET- LIVE coverage of the Republican Presidential
candidates' appearance before the Convention (3 hours)

NATIONAL ISSUES CONVENTION
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q:
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL ISSUES CONVENTION?
A:
In an unprecedented experiment in the American democratic process, a national random sample of
U.S. citizens will be brought to the University of Texas at Austin to deliberate on major issues facing
the nation. The four-day gathering will take place January 18-21, 1996, and will feature an extended
dialogue between presidential candidates and informed citizens -live ~n national televisionand radio.
At the National Issues Convention (NIC), the 600 delegates will break into small discussion groups,
led by trained moderators, in which they will study and debate the issues. A focal point of the NIC
will be the "deliberative opinion poll," a new method of public opinion research designed to show
what people think about the issues as they become more informed.
Q:
WHAT IS A DELIBERATIVE POLL?
A:
The deliberative poll is different from ordinary polls, which offer only a snapshot of the current state
of public opinion. Developed by Professor James Fishkin of the University of Texas at Austin, the
delibepitive poll is designed to sample public opinion toward specific issues both before and after
people have had the opportunity to learn about and discuss those issues.
Before the Convention, participants will be polled on their attitudes toward three broad issue areas: the
economy, the state of the family, and America's role in a post-Cold War world. At the conclusion of
the gathering, they will be polled again. The results of this "deliberative poll" seek to quantify the
impact of the deliberative process on the delegates' thinking.
Q:
HOW ARE CONVENTION DELEGATES BEING CHOSEN?
A:
A scientifically selected national random sample of people is being surveyed in face-to-face interviews
conducted at 100 sites nationwide; 600 respondents will be invited to attend the Austin weekend.
Citizens of voting age from all over the United States will have an equal chance of being asked to
participate in the Convention. Researchers began seeking participants November 1 in an exhaustive
process that will conclude in December.

Q:
HOW WILL THE NATIONAL ISSUES CONVENTION BE DIFFERENT FROM
OTHER POLITICAL EVENTS?
A:
Removed from the steady drumbeat of sound bites and paid advertising, the Convention will provide
an unfiltered exchange between an informed and truly representative sample of the American people
and those who seek their votes.
Q:
WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF CANDIDATE INTEREST?
A:
We certainly encourage you to ask them. Major candidates, including President Clinton, have received
letters of invitation from the president of the University of Texas. The candidates have shown interest
in the event and we expect them to attend.
Q:
WHO WILL SUPERVISE THE POLLING?
A:
All survey research- both before and after the Convention - will be conducted by the National
Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago, a respected nonpartisan academic
research organization.
Q:
WHO WILL DEVELOP THE MATERIALS FOR DISCUSSION?
A:
Discussion guides for each of the-issues are being developed by Public Agenda in collaboration with
the Kettering Foundation; both are nonpartisan research organizations based in New York City and
Dayton, Ohio, respectively. These guides are being adapted from materials these organizations create
for the National Issues Forums (NIF), a network of thousands of civic organizations and educational
institutions across the country that convene nonpartisan deliberations on the issues. The NIF will
coordinate their meetings this year with the broadcast of the Convention.
In addition, a bipartisan committee of former government officials, chaired by former members of
Congress Barbara Jordan (D-TX) and Bill Frenzel (R-MN), will review all briefing materials.
Q:
WHO WILL LEAD THE DISCUSSION GROUPS?
A:
The small-group discussions will be led by veteran moderators of the National Issues Forums. These
are citizens from across the country who regularly convene deliberative discussions in their own
-more-
�- 3-
communities. The moderators have been trained through summer institutes that teach citizens the skills
of nonpartisan, deliberative moderating.
Q:
HAS THE DELffiERATIVE POLL EVER BEEN TRIED BEFORE?
A:
The deliberative poll has been tested twice on national television by Britain's Channel4, with
Professor Fishkin serving as academic advisor. In April 1994, the deliberative poll focused on the
issue of crime, and in May 1995, it focused on Britain's future in Europe. Each experiment was
broadcast for two hours during prime time.
Q:
WHO IS TELEVISING THE EVENT?
A:
The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) will provide national television coverage of the National
Issues Convention, moderated by Jim Lehrer of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Convention
coverage will be produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions. Lester M. Crystal is executive producer of
The NewsHour, Dan Werner, vice president of MacNeil/Lehrer productions, is executive producer of
the National Issues Convention broadcast.
Q:
WHAT IS THE BROADCAST SCHEDULE?
A:
The NIC will be broadcast as a three-part special. The first two programs, which will air live from the
University of Texas at Austin, wifl feature-candidates' responses to questions from the delegates. The
third broadcast will chronicle the events of the Convention and include analysis and reporting
segments that reach beyond the Austin weekend, placing the deliberative poll in a broader national
context. The national broadcast schedule (subject to change) is as follows:

Q:
IS THE NATIONAL ISSUES CONVENTION OPEN TO THE PRESS?
A:
All print and broadcast media will have ample opportunity to cover the event. Because of the nature of
this experiment, though, there will be some ground rules and limitations on what portions of the event
the press may cover and when the delegates can be interviewed.
Q:
HOW IS THE NATIONAL ISSUES CONVENTION RELATED TO PBS'S
DEMOCRACY PROJECT?

�ADVANCE LEITER
November 1, 1995
Dear Respondent:
Recently there has been talk about the need for more thoughtful, in-depth
discussions of national concerns. Political topics and candidates receive coverage
on television and in the newspaper, but this coverage may focus more on
controversy that content. It is only by going directly to the people that one can
get a clear and true picture of the state of our democracy.
You are one of a select group of Americans being asked to consider the vital issues
facing our nation today. Your address was chosen in a random sample of the
entire country. Let me apologize for the impersonal nature of this letter; because
of the selection method we do not know your name.
In the ne)(t few days an interviewer from the University of Chicago will call on your
household with questions about politics and your views. The questionnaire has an
identification number on it for mailing purposes only. This is so we may check
your name when your questionnaire is returned. All of your responses will be
completely confidential.
The results of this research will be of great interest to the voting public,
government officials, scholars and policy makers throughout the country. I would
be happy to answer any questions you may have about the project. Please call me
at 1.800.XXX.XXXX. We look forward to hearing your opinions and thank you for
your time.·
Sincerely,
Woody Carter
Project Director
