In light of the public interest in Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger, scheduled to be heard by the Court at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. respectively on Tuesday, April 1, 2003, an audiotape of the U. S. Supreme Court oral arguments will be made available by the Court that day on an expedited basis shortly after the conclusion of both arguments at noon.

Sources for the oral argument audiotape will be as follows:

• An audiotape will be provided to the Network pool, which will in turn provide an offsite, simultaneous feed to member news organizations.
  
  
• The audio will be made available in the House and Senate Radio and Television Galleries at the U. S. Capitol on Capitol Hill DA #9. Only press holding proper Congressional credentials will be allowed in the Galleries.
  
  
• An on-site feed (mult-box) will be available on Maryland Avenue next to the Supreme Court. News organizations that are not part of the radio/TV pool systems may plug in at that location. Please note that on-site parking is not available.

Playback of the tapes will be provided as soon as possible following the conclusion of oral arguments, scheduled to end at noon. The audiotapes of both arguments will be played in their entirety one time only. Contact Rusty Lutz at ABC News at 202-222-7600 for more information.
