          FEDERAL COURT IN MISSOURI ISSUES PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
                   UNDER FACE AGAINST KANSAS CITY WOMAN

                                     
     PLEASE BE ADVISED:  For those of you following the Justice
Department's actions under the Freedom of Access to Clinic
Entrances Act (FACE), a federal court in Kansas City, Missouri,
today issued a preliminary injunction against a Kansas City
woman, Regina Rene Dinwiddie.  The injunction prohibits her from
using force or threats to intimidate or interfere with the staff
and clients of any clinic, and from coming within 500 feet of the
entrance of any clinic in the court's jurisdiction.  Earlier this
month, the Justice Department obtained a TRO against her pending
a hearing on the request for the preliminary injunction.  The
court must still set a date for a hearing on a permanent
injunction.
