Overhead spending, a 3. 5 reduction, toward increasing funding in three specific areas. 40 million for pediatric Cancer Research, 40 million for alzheimers research, and 40 million to address the countrys open yode crisis.

[applause] mr. Meese thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Its a pleasure for know join john in welcoming you to the heritage foundation. And also to the first event in our preserve the constitution series, which we have each year at this time. And which well continue over eight programs starting today and running through november. Ill say more about that later on. Its appropriate, i think, that we begin our series on preserving the constitution by observing Constitution Day, which, as you know, is the 17th of september. This sunday. Commemorating the day when in 1787 the representatives of 12 states signed the original document and then sent to the states for ratification. I believe that my opinion this date, Constitution Day, in terms of the historical antecedence to our country, is second only to the fourth of july. I say that because as we know on independence day, 1776, 56 men signed the declaration of independence and pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred

Hi everyone i am carolyn greer, the producer of the brooklyn book festival with my colleague ms. Koch. We are in our 12th year this season and so delighted to have all of the fabulous authors participating. This year we had a very special circumstance with this particular program. Which is very important and very compelling on the subject of refugees. We decided to go in a different direction and do it from reporters. Telling from their insight and experiences in the field.

We hope that you will e
