From October 5, to December 4, 1981, Howard Phillips, National Director of The Conservative Caucus, conducted a series of nine seminars for Harvard University students under the auspices of the Kennedy Institute of Politics. Among the national conservative leaders who participated with Phillips in the two-hour long, Monday evening seminars were Paul Weyrich, Chairman of Coalitions for America; John Lofton, syndicated columnist; Richard Viguerie, publisher of the Conservative Digest; Morton Blackwell, Special Assistant to President Ronald Reagan; and Brig. General Albion Knight (USA-Ret.), Director of the National Security Task Force of The Conservative Caucus. More than 60 students participated regularly in the discussions, which brought to Harvard �a New Right perspective� on significant national issues. Seminar discussions focused on: �arms control as a threat to peace,� �the media attack on the Religious Right,� �the pro-family movement,� and New Right political strategy.
