On the history of u. S. Iranian relations. I should stress that these events are strictly nonpartisan. They are not intended to offer any kind of policy recommendations or agendas. They are simply sort of meant to give greater insight into how we got to where we are, which we believe helps us understand how we solve problems. So, a few thanks and then ill turn it over to alan.

The senate is back tomorrow morning and here our floor speeches about the tax reform bill and daca. Mr. President nt. The senator from maryland. I take the time to talk about pending business. Tax proposal going into a Conference Committee between the house and senate as im sure the American People now know that 2 00 a. M. In the morningno on Early Saturday Morning the Senate Passed its version of tax reformef. Of the house had already done that and we are working on a house bill. The motion before us is to take that bill and send it to a conference.
