And a boy7000 kinds, and a girl for each of those. And these people were unskilled. They had never built a wooden ship before.

The magnitude of our mission is awesome. Theres no way to understate its importance nor to mistake its meaning. We have unsheathed the strongest weapon in the arsenal of congressional power. We, personally, members of this committee, have felt its weight and have perceived its dangers. The framers of the constitution, fearing an executive too strong to
