WASHINGTON (July 19, 2001) -- Coming just one day before the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security is scheduled to release its interim report, the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) will unveil a new study on the risk of investing the Social Security surplus in the stock market at a news conference at the National Press Club. Key information from a soon to be released study, which details the full future impact of maintaining the status quo on payroll tax rates and the debt, will also be discussed.
The study will answer several important questions, including:
WHO: National Center For Policy Analysis John C. Goodman, NCPA President; Andrew Rettenmaier, Texas A&M's Private Enterprise Research Center
WHAT: News Conference To Release: "Stock Market Risk And Social Security"
WHEN: Monday, July 23, 2001, 9:30 Am ET
