What we may do, however, in a lame duck session is a lot, but we have to get there first and that is november 4th and we have exacting responsibilities to ourselves. And we have distributed to you, remarks that were made by first Lady Michele Obama july 30th, 2014, and she was speaking to the summit of the Mandela Washington fellowship for Young African leaders. And will not miss any of it in these brief remarks but i hope he will pick up a copy of it.

My colleague, donna edwards, who represents marylands fourth congressional district, that contemplates prince georges and data rondel counti

And how silly and hopeless our brothers and sisters and elders and ancestors m
Like the members of congress that have spoken today i long advocated for modernizing our relationship with cuba. I led a bipartisan bill to make it easier to finance exports to cuba. The bill is led in the house by ranking agriculture chair colin peterson. My home state of minnesota digs into exports while we export to cuba in 2o 13.

Was the frozen float, elsa and anna on the float from disneys frozen were on the float, and what would be cleat without the big man himself, santa claus and his wife, they took time timeout of their busy schedule to say hello to the lehigh valley. And the 6 abc Dunkin Donuts thanksgiving day parade is a big part of so many family traditions in our area, john rawlins spent time camped out on the parade route. The thanksgiving day parade. Hope she remembers. She will now. Coming to the parade is a distinctly Family Affair that can span decades and generations. My dad and boyfriend and daughter and brother. Family all around. How long have you been coming here . 23 years. For roy stewart and his family 50 years of parade watching and taking in the sights and sounds. Love the parade and music.
