The two groups plan to sponsor weekly forums to give the conten ders a platform for serious discus sion of energy issues. All 17 candidates involved in pri mary battles for the Republican and Democratic nominations have been invited to speak at the school be tween late November and the Feb. 26 primary. “We don’t want the candidates to go through New Hampshire, shake hands and leave without answering some tough questions,” Peter Brown, director of the Energy Law Institute at Franklin Pierce, told a news conference Monday. Brown said all the candidates have said they were interested in coming, except for former California Gov. Ronald Reagan, who has not responded, and former Texas Gov. John Connally, whose staff refused the invitation. Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, who has yet to formally announce his candidacy, has been invited. Brown said, but third-party candidates will not be included un less they plan to enter one of the primary elections. The program will be kicked off Friday with a panel discussion about supply and demand problems and n. attacker possible solutions.
