We are both very fast eaters. [laughter] we also found out that we share d a common passion for history. I am very pleased to introduce Candice Millard to you today. I am a longtime fan of her work. I think what distinguishes her work from the work of other popular historians is her rare ability to engender suspense despite the readers knowledge of the outcome. I speak from experience. When i read her first book, the river of doubt, i spent a lot of time worrying about if and how Teddy Roosevelt was ever going to get out of that brazilian jungle even though i knew that he would. The suspense was worse because i was listening to the book as i was driving the washington beltway. It was always a race to see who was going to get to the exit first, teddy or me. Reading her second book destiny the republic, i kept hoping that James Garfield would somehow survive the ineptitude of his doctors, even though i knew he would not. I am well into her latest book, which i have right here hero of the
Wonderful long trip around the country staying with the incredible place now at state park in california in 1942, jumping ahead and ill come back, he took that round trip on the boeing 3 14.

President and deferring to the leadership of the democratic leader in the United States senate, not only did this senator who made this statement indicate his approval of the deal, this senator voted to block an upordown vote on the deal in the United States senate. In other words, participated in the filibuster of this vote. So, mr. President , this debate is one that the American People deserve to hear.
