[inaudible conversation] book tv recently visited capitol hill to ask members of congress what theyre reading this summer. I hope to finish a couple books, first of all im reading freedoms task which was given to me by senator roy blunt and this is a book that is about the dome being put on the Capital Building precivil war but what i found is especially interesting is as i get into the book of focus on the House Chamber and Senate Chamber and how those were added to the original Capital Building and one of the main proponents of that is Jefferson Davis so while we are approaching the civil war, we have Jefferson Davis really helping our country, helping build a Capital Building which would serve our entire country and we know later that he became the president of the confederacy so that the book im hoping to get through, i started it and i need to finish it. I also want to read about destiny and power which is the book by john meacham on george hw bush. I would like to get that done t
