Good morning. This hearing will now come to order. I am pleased to welcome our distinguished panel of Witnesses Today is the economic and security subcommittee.

Petition the government for redress of grievances. Floyd abrams you are book is entitled the soul of the First Amendment so what is the soul of those 45 words . Guest the sole is basically an anticensorship soul thats basically keeping the government away. Applies only to the government, not private people. The government cant do these things. E.
