So were really seeing this treaty become kind of of a symbolic head point between these two sides. And the Senate Approves the treaty. Now according to the constitution Senate Approves treaties and theyre done. The problem is the house of representatives this is our first treaty.

Theres some donors who are still really active and want to see the things that they left. So this, as you may or may not know, is a roll of toilet paper. You may wonder why we have it in our collection. But toilet paper was as good as gold in vietnam, because if you were out in the field and you didnt have any toilet paper, you ha
