| US award to honour Howard's leadership |
| 2005-08-21 |
| The Australian Prime Minister is to receive a prestigious American award for outstanding leadership in public life, at a ceremony in Sydney tomorrow night. John Howard will be presented with the Woodrow Wilson Award from the political centre of the same name in Washington, which is part of the influential Smithsonian Institution. It is the first time a serving political leader has been recognised and Mr Howard is the first person outside North America and Europe to receive the honour. The US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, was a member of the judging panel. Mr Howard's award will be recognised in a recorded message from the US President George W Bush, who will also deliver a message to Australians. |
