Amy we spend the hour remembering the renault did actor, musician, composer and activist Theodore Bikel, who died tuesday at the age of 91. Theodore bikel was known for creating the role of baron von trapp in the sound of music on broadway, cofounding a folk festival with pete seeger and his role as tevye on fiddler on the roof which he played more than 2000 times. It may surprise you to learn that Theodore Bikel, a man so close that in a fight with israel and with jewish life, was also an outspoken critic of israeli policy especially a pending measure which would forcibly relocate some 40,000 bedouin from their ancestral land.

And a wrong cannot be allowed to stand. Inigo today, Theodore Bikel the musician, actor activist for the hour.

B. O. And others. With that i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves. Connell
