A pair of town hall meetings on U.S.-Islamic relations are scheduled for next week in Baltimore and College Park to commemorate the third anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

The first discussion will be held at 6 p.m. Sunday in Mergenthaler 111 on the Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus and will include speeches by Kenneth Bacon, former assistant secretary of defense, and Ammar Abdulhamid, Syrian poet, novelist and commentator.

The second meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Grand Ballroom at the University of Maryland and will feature Shibley Telhami, the school's Anwar Sadat professor, and Peter W. Singer, director of the Project on U.S. Policy Towards the Islamic World.

The events, which are free and open to the public, are sponsored by Americans for Informed Democracy, a nonpartisan youth leadership group.
