Relevant. I think it is relevant. I think thats really consistent with what the District Court judge did hear here. Of course you give deference to the statements of those experts. The question she asked, have they given me a logical and plausible reason, is the same thing this court has done in other cases. It was a camel case under foia, where the affidavit did not properly establish why something was classified. What the District Court judge here did, and set on the factual record, was it doesnt make sense. I want to go back to judge williams question. Why is it the pressenterprise standard . Shouldnt we just say it is properly classified . The standard for classification at the lowest level, basically just says if there is a reasonable expectation that some harm could happen. Damage to National Security, but just some reasonable expectation of some sort of harm. Its almost an invitation to speculate. What the First Amendment requires is more than that. Thats what the teaching of re

Both from an architectural standpoint because you very rarely if ever can understand the whole totality of what the white house s you can see the main part of the house but also, too, its wings as well. You can do a 360 degree walk around the white house and see the construction of it and see really one of the most important historic objects in our nation, the white house, and understand its story much more, plus with the advent of technology we have touch screens where you can actually go inside the rooms and see them, see the objects in them, and then also explore them lieu the various centuries that the white house has been here. Im here today in the White House Visitors Center. Were going to take a look at some objects that have been lent from the Permanent Collection of the white house for exhibition here as part of the new and vastly improved White House Visitors Center that opened last fall.

This special lab was equipped to help us prepare and manage the wide range of artifacts in the museums care. What you see on the counter there now is a set of human remains, anatomical specimens, bones, that are laid out on the counter there and museum staff person doing some lab work in preparation of dealing with some objects in conservation, but we could use this lab to manage paper materials, other types of tissue or to prepare objects for longterm storage or for exhibit or display. So our last stop on our visit to the medical museum is here in front of one of the museums storage rooms where we manage our growing 25 million object collection. You can see just a few of the paintings in the museums holdings here in the row behind me and the large painting
