The list of potential speakers was limit. They had no guarantee that people who accepted their invitations-- had come to the United States other, more pressing reasons--would be able to attend. One such disappointment occurred when Ja Ja chuku. Nigerian Minister of Finance had to break his speaking to attend an emergency of the United Nations Congo Committee...
