[L. Coyote]

The following is a transcript of a speech delivered by
Daniel P. Sheehan, general counsel and public-policy director
for the Christic Institute, and was given on Fed. 1, 1987 in
Los Angeles.

Mr. Sheehan graduated with honors from Harvard College
in 1967 and from the Harvard School of Law in 1970. Mr.
Sheehan also attended the Harvard Divinity School. For the
next 10 years, he participated in a very long list of legal
cases, most of which dealt with constitutional and/or civil-
liberties issues.

From 1976 to 1987, Mr. Sheehan was chief counsel in the
Karen G. Silkwood case and achieved a landmark victory.
During that case, a spirited and very talented team was
assembled. The Christic Institute was organized after the
Silkwood case was settled in order to keep this team together
and involved with public policy and attendant legal issues.

The team was successful in the prosecution of the Ku
Klux Klan and Nazis in Greensboro, N.N. Mr. Sheehan has
represented the people of Three Mile Island and successfully
defended Mayor Eddie Carthan, the first elected Black mayor
in the Mississippi Delta since the Civil War.
The Christic Institute is an interfaith public-interest
law firm and public-policy center. ......
