[applause] yes. The book of charlie is a very special book about a special man and was written by a potential man. A special man. And i know and i can tell you why David Von Drehle was drawn to charlie, because he is a younger charlie white, and i hope he lives to be 109. [applause] i founded books 48 years ago, and over that time i have found a few books that represent what i call high water marks and our love of reading, and the book of charlie is such a book. It is a book for everyone, and i hope h that everyone reads it. I agree tom hanks, who gave this wonderful quote, i gotta recommend this book filled with history, wisdom, common sense and laughs galore. I wish i had lived across the street from charlie and i make it to 109. If. [laughter] so, David Von Drehle is formerly an editor at large
[inaudible] well come to order. We are considering President Bidens nomination of julie su to be the secretary of the United States department of labour. I welcome her this morning. Let me get directly to the point. I strongly support miss sus nomination. She has been an excellent deputy secretary of labor for the last two years and i believe she will make an excellent secretary of labor into the future. I hope very much that you will be confirmed by the senate and we need her in her job as soon as possible. Let us be honest as we gather this morning, a debate over miss su really has nothing to do with her qualifications. No one can tell us with a straight face that miss su is unqualified for this position. In fact, she is extremely well qualified. This debate, really, has everything to do with the fact that julie su is a championing of the working class of this country who will stand up against the forces of corporate greed. That is really what this debate is about. Lets be very clear
