Democrats to Hold Spring Meeting In New Orleans

Washington, DC - Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean
announced today that the 2006 DNC Spring Meeting will be held in New
Orleans, Louisiana from April 20-22, 2006. The decision to hold the next
DNC meeting in New Orleans is part of the Democratic Party's commitment
to rebuilding the Gulf Coast and rebuilding the American community. DNC
members from around the country will gather at the Sheraton New Orleans
hotel, overlooking the Mississippi river, for the first of their
biannual meetings of 2006.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement:

"Today I am pleased to announce the Democratic Party's small effort to
help rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. I look forward to
joining Democrats from all across the country in a revitalized New
Orleans for the 2006 DNC Spring Meeting.

"Democrats are committed to rebuilding the Gulf Coast, and to
rebuilding America's sense of community. Our nation was founded on the
notion that we have a responsibility to each other, a shared investment
in one another, and the belief that we should leave no one behind. The
American people are heroes for coming together the way they did after
Hurricane Katrina, and being extraordinarily generous in a time of
crisis. We are honored to be a part of that. Together, America can do
better."
