Security adviser brent scowcroft. This program from the Video Library is about one hour. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States. Pres. Reagan please be seated. On behalf of myself and the American People, i want to extend my thanks to senator tower, secretary muskie and mr. Scowcraft. Whatever this report may say, i have appointed, or i am proud to have appointed this distinguished board because it fulfills my commitment to get the facts and share them with the American People. This is why i asked the attorney general to conduct his review and why when that review uncovered on authorized actions, i ordered disclosure of what we knew. It is why i urged the appointment of an independent counsel and why i appointed David Abshire as my special counselor on this matter.

The significance of this boards work is reflected in the size of the volume
Its off the agenda. Look at the Government Shutdown as an example of how quickly that is just in the rearview mirror. O how will obamacare figure in 2014 . None of us have any idea.

So if you think of obamacares impact in virginia, its the proobamacare argument is carrying the day. In new jersey, i dont remember chris isaak tee talking about Obama Chris Christie talking about obamacare much.

Thank you. Its great to have Tammy Duckworth here, an american hero. She is in a wheelchair and in 1990, we passed the ada to make sure that there were ramps for those wheelchairs everywhere in our country.
