Only the official photographer is permitted to take photographs. It is my pleasure to introduce Justice Stephen breyer. He has had a distinguished career, starting as a law clerk to goldberg and going on to have many important positions in the department of justice and working for the Senate Judiciary committee. In 1980, president carter appointed him to the first appeals and hef served 14 years and was the chief judge of that court. Clinton tapped him to be a justice here and he turned out to be one of six people who, during their career, served both as a law clerk at this court and asked a justice at this court. When he got here, he said at the sat at the far end of the bench for 11 years. It was the secondlongest time that anybody has sat as the most junior justice for the long a period. Now, he has had 11 more years and he has moved around on the bench. We are pleased to have him here tonight to host this evenings lecture. Justice breyer. [applause] Justice Breyer i think i missed
