To Danielle or Peter or whomever this may concern:

With regard to need #1, a speaker on Iraq, may I suggest that it may not be
too late to request a speaker from Voices in the Wilderness, whose
headquarters is in Chicago?  They may send someone down from Chicago, or
they may be able to suggest someone local.  They've been fighting the Iraqi
sanctions since the sanctions' inception.  I have contact info for that
organization if anyone needs it.
