She was reading the landscape, foraging for food, reading the stars, being comfortable outdoors by herself. I would like to highlight our Visitor Center. This building is lined in cedar which is a reference to her time in the field with her father. These last three buildings are lined in zinc. The idea is that after you visit our Visitors Center, your ignorance about her retirement life and the underground railroad will fade as well. We have a vegetative roof on the flat surfaces, you can see the one on the far south. It helps us keep the Visitor Center warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We also have rain barrels to collect that excess water and we use it to water our vegetation. We also have photovoltaic light, we turn them off at night to do programs and also we have a concern on light pollution. The light is filtered downwards. So you can enjoy the night sky. And the far en

It would get us out of this impasse that is increasingly harmful to our country and its image in the world. Mr. President , it is past time for us to come out of our partisan corners.

I served with five president s, three of whom were republicans. Lord knows i didnt agree with everything the republican president s wanted, and i didnt even agree with everything the democratic president s wanted. And
