Im thinking who is the republican and who is the democrat . Of course they are talking on other subjects very easy to find outlet. But on this stuff, this is like the one thing that you all agree on. It brings out the best in you. Im sure of that. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you mr. Chairman and for being here today and testifying. I certainly agree with all the comments about the importance of aide. It is about our security and the impact of whats happening in europe affecting us in the United States because we do have Transit Alliance that has been critical to world order.

When he came back in the 1820s, he was invited by president munro for the purpose of remembering the revolution. Saw that people are starting to die off, the revolutionaries were starting to leave. Lafayette was still a living connection to the revolution. And thise back in 1824 is an amazing tour of what was then the United States, in an era where there were not trains, automobiles. Carriages s and crossingd carriages the United States, hitting so many places from new york down to charleston. Think it is remarkable. When he comes to the u. S.
