Royal delegation present at the opening ceremony. This program runs about 45 minutes. Good morning. Im james, the 13th librarian of congress. Its a great pleasure to welcome you all to the library of congress and to this event, celebrating the opening of the librarys latest exhibition, magna carta, muse and mentor. I think it is indisputable that the library of congress has a special relationship with the magna carta. We remember, of course, this institutions good fortune to have been called upon to safeguard the lincoln magna carta during world war ii.

Capital gain, youre going to end Chuck Grassley up with much higher, generate. And indeed, thats whats happened when president clinton came in. Capital gains went back in and the rates went to 39 . And seems to me that theres a lot more coherence in a bill with a lower rate that treats capital and labor the same. Thank you, senator. Thank you, both, for coming. I want to start with something you both touched on in your opening statement, but to get more specific, and so ill start with with senator packwood, but ill ask senator bradley the similar question. It deals with the robert bob w. Packwood process of president ial reform. Do you think tax reform would have happened if president reagan had not made tax reform a priority in his administration and a follow on and then isnt it going to take at least that much commitment or involvement from president obama with with his own party in congress to get a tax reform bill enacted and then for senator bradley, could you share your thoughts

I look forward to tackling these threats with all of you. Thanks very much. [applause] im going ask you a few questions and then well open it to a conversation from this room and from the overflow room. I hope somebody will give me questions from outside this room.

It has occurred to me for years that the terrorists wont check our Party Registration before they blow us up, and this is obviously true in the cyber realm as well.
