EDITORS:
The last of three presidential debates between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is scheduled for Monday, from 9-10:30 p.m. EDT, at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.
Foreign policy is the subject and the 90-minute debate will be divided into six segments of approximately 15 minutes each. Moderator Bob Schieffer of CBS News will open each segment with a question, and each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a discussion of the topic.
The Commission on Presidential Debates, which sponsors the debates, says the topics could change because of news developments. Currently, the topics, though not necessarily in this order, are:
America's role in the world
Our longest war - Afghanistan and Pakistan
Red Lines - Israel and Iran
The Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism - I
The Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism - II
The Rise of China and Tomorrow's World
