Virginia. Remain standing for the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of america by the senator from james city county, senator norman, the National Anthem performed by larry j. Giddens. Great is your name in all the world. Great is your presence in this land. You were here when native peoples first lived and loved and governed themselves. You were here when the first englishman emigrated to these shores and when they held their First Legislative Assembly 400 years ago. You were here when the first english women chose to come and join the men in establishing settled communities. And when the first African People were brought here in harrowing circumstances against their will. You were with our ancestors, men and women of diverse races and cultures through triumph and adversity, through hope and fear. In the same way that you were with your people then, be with us now while we remember the relationships and legacyies tha have shaped us as americans today. Forgive us th

Budgets that we spent to become great in the world. Theres no reason i can see why we should not redress that grievance, although obviously its an uphill battle.

But i just think its unrealistic to assume that this congress and any future congress is going to jump to 4 of gdp. I just dont think 1 . We may get to 1 . Now 1 is 1 would be like a gold mine. Indeed. And im not saying im just i said a modest increase, but we have to be able to demonstrate that we can do what we said we can do. Commercial cargo was a first step. People said it couldnt be done, we have done that. We have got to get a commercial crew and we have got to demonstrate that can do it consistently.

Our team of correspondents has been searching for answers and first well go to Mark Phillips in france. Reporter to the heartbreak and grief of the dazed families of the victims who have begun to gather near the crash site, shock and even disbelief have now been added. It wasnt an accident that killed their relatives on this mountainside. The french Prosecutor Says it was murder. The evidence comes from the battered but still readable cockpit voice recorder recovered from among the disintegrated wreckage of plane and people strewn down these slopes. For the first 20 minutes, the cockpit conversation is technical and normal, then with the plane at its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet, the pilot is heard to hand over control to his copilot and leaves the cockpit presumably for a bathroom break.
