With your faculty director, you will explore these issues and attempt to find some Bipartisan Solutions. This seminar is a unique spacebased experiential learning opportunity that very few College Students will ever have. Being here in d. C. Together as a group and engaged in the seminar will allow us to do a deep dive into and to remain focused on the issues at hand.

Environmental reviews of the project have consistently found that the keystone xl pipeline will have no Significant Impact on the environment. Let me repeat that no significant environmental impact. In fact, the review says that if we dont build the pipeline canadian oil will still find its way to market by rail, requiring 1,400 tanker cars every day on our railroads to move the same volume of oil.

This is not just about getting. Its about giving. This is what china means by a winwin approach. I think the jury is still out as to whether we ar

So in 1969, i ran for the City Council Post that i had by appointment. But on the brochure, i couldnt say reelect norm because i hadnt been elected in the first place, so we used the phrase retain norm on the council. How supportive was the Japanese American Community to your campaign . Very. I had great support from within the community. At that point it was probably maybe 2 of the population, 3 . Very, very small. But i had great support from the Japanese American Community. And so that was also true by 1970, i had become vice mayor, and then in 1971, for the reelection for the mayors post, the mayor decided not to seek reelection.
