As well as me, this spring marks the 25th anniversary of her graduation from the law school. Its okay , tracey, you dont look it. I happened to be with professor meares for the john howard organization, a wonderful organization in chicago that works to improve the quality of illinois prison system. And one of the guests there told me that professor meares had just informed her that after earning her undergraduate degree from the university of illinois in engineering, she was contemplating going to law school. Being an engineering student she didnt know much about law school and without much thought she was tentatively planning to go to georgetown. But according to the story, the then dean of Chicago University law school gave tracey an offer, quote, she couldnt refuse. And so she ended up serendipitously in chicago and im pleased to say i was that dean.

Like to know how we can protect our borders better . I know a lot of things have to be done but those are the two that interest me. Mr. Bush the way to balance the budget to get us towards a path of reducing the debt rather than accepting the level, it is growing the economy at a faster rate. Having entitlement reform. Reform the Social Security system. Cut back on discretionary spending. Shift power back to the state. The one reversal of the trend is shrinking government. We need to rebuild the military.

We need to be modernizing it constantly so the new threats that exist can be met
