<h1>Post-Dialogue Questionnaire</h1></center>
<p>Dialogue Participants:</p><p>Now that you've had the chance to participate in 
a forum on this issue, we'd like to know what you are thinking. Your opinions, along with those
of thousands of others who participated in in-person National Issues forums, will be reflected in a summary report that will be available to all citizens, including those who took part in the forums, as well as officeholders, members of the news media, and others throughout the country. Since we're interested in whether you have changed your mind about certain aspects of the issue, a few of the questions will be the same as those you answered in the pre-dialogue questionnaire when you first registered.</p><p><b><i>
