The committee will reconvene. When we recessed we were about to hear from mr. Castor. Mr. Castor, youre recognized for 45 minutes. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you for having me back, giving me the opportunity to testify about the evidence gathered during our impeachment inquiry.

Beautiful things about her. I dont think i ever saw her in a bad mood that mood and she would just come in and light up wherever she was at the Water District that schools and at the State Capitol via was known as the water princess. Often appearing in some kind of water related costume to dramatize her message her. The specialty was education, especially a k. Up through high school and thats probably one of the hallmarks that will be remembered for is her efforts to educate thousands and thousands the young minds in and teaching them about water. The day.
