And more dearly paid his father, my birth great grandfather, because suddenly in the story the redric of russia today and the reason Nikita Khrushchev, which i think the greatest thing he did was deannounce stallin during the secret speech and later on wi. It is no longer seen as an act of brave. Instead it is dismissed as a simple act of political revenge. And then the story goes because russians love literature and they are great at inventing stories. That is why they are so good at propaganda because all that is is inventing stories. As the story goes today, if it were not my grandfather or family i would say that is a great invention and reads like a good detective novel. And the story goes today that when stalin discovered that khrushchev was a trader and he already died and they are dockments he died an march 11, 1943.

Quorum call quorum call quorum call s mr. Chambliss mr. President , i ask that the quorum call be dispensed with and i be allowed to speak in morning business.

The second one is, given your description of what islam is and does, how can it be considered a religion . Thats a very good question. Number one, i think we should define in america what a religion should be. And ill tell you what my definition will be.

[ applause ] and thats the only way we can either reform islam, we have to get rid of that and we can judge islam by the way muslims practiced in america. By the way. We have to judge islam by how it

Weve seen softness in the Manufacturing Sector take root because of the stronger dollar and a drop in oil prices. That seems to be improving for this particular index. Earlier this week, the Empire Manufacturing number came in with a negative read. There is still a lot of debate over whether manufacturing has bottomed out and were ready to see an uptick. As the dollar stabilizes and oil stabilizes, perhaps we can look at some stabilizing and the Manufacturing Sector as well. In the same index, new orders index at 0. 7 versus 3. 9.
