Thomas blanton ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, just a few words of welcome today. I am tom blanton, i am director of the National Security archive at George Washington university and honored to be one of the organizers of today. This is the day that 25 years ago president george h. W. Bush signed the nunnlugar legislation into law. Now being document fetishists, we scoured the bush library for the photographs of that extraordinary moment, and none exist. There was not a signing ceremony, which gives you a sense of the kind of mixed opinion in the Bush Administration about this Congressional Initiative in foreig
Incidents. My shock is that it took us this morning to get to this point. We have new leadership in the school. A system in place, were working in that system. Schools should be a place where kids learn and feel comfortable learning and thats what will happen.

In the latter part of the 1880s. And communities were being pressured to have better roads. Perhaps only going out into the suburbs. And we have places like cleveland and philadelphia that are installing brick roads. So there is a movement for a allweather road system, or at least in a limited sense, prior to the coming of the automobile, which really is about 1900, so 1905. Most american roads at the beginning of the 20th century, were mud holes during the wet season, and extremely dusty during the dry season.

How war story works in culture and how historians approach that story from within cultural frameworks. Using two case studies that we have spent time with all semester long, the impact of the civil war, of course, fought around us in the fields of gettysburg and more recently in the last few weeks our discussion about combat experience about the First World War, we
