The presiding officer madam president , last week the Judiciary Committee held its hearing on judge Amy Coney Barretts nomination and it was easy to see why judge barrett is held in such high regard by her colleagues, students, and peers and why the American Bar Association gave her its highest rating of well qualified. We knew well before the hearing that judge barrett possesses an extraordinary intelligence and comprehensive command of the law. After three days of testimony americans got to see her qualifications for themselves. They saw why she has been described as a jurist, a formidable intellect, a brilliant and conscientious lawyer and staggering academic mind.

To december 26th, 1991 with the collapse of the soviet union. It was a geopolitical standoff. Each one could have destroyed the world through a nuclear war but the cold war do d that. There will be no winners, so this cold war was a state of heightened tension that did not have direct conflict between the soviets and the americans. Vietnam, korea, gulf war, afghan war. Vint hill farms station was functional between World War Two and the 90s. After the cold war, the American Government realized there was no need for this facility because there was no more soviet union. The cold war ended.

Museum at vint hill, virginia, 45 miles west of washington, d. C. I founded the Cold War Museum in 1986 to honor cold war veterans, preserve cold war history and educate future generations about the time period. What i realized when i was giving lectures to High School Students in this area, nine times out of ten, the students wouldnt know anything about the cold war or the u2 incident.

Been with me in New Hampshire and she and i met about 25 years ago and shes the reason we are lucky enough to live in colorado and raising our three dau
