Commission is an ardent champion of the arts. Coowner of cap pilot coffeehouse in gulfport. Thank you very much. Welcome to our session this morning on nature and the environment. For most of my life my entry to American History was to the biographies of our founding fathers. Washington, jefferson, franklin, then through to lincoln, frederick douglass, theodore roosevelt, Martin Luther king, shirley chisholm, henry enerplex, james baldwin, Dwight Eisenhower among many others.

So i think in most of the countries that we work around the world, the person filing the complaint has to prove the claim by the standard of evidence. And as weve all known, how does that plaintiff get access to the evidence they

Last week in moscow, cloaked in secrecy and after months of behindthescenes back and forth, we sat down with Edward Snowden for his First American television interview. Lets begin with a reminder of what this 30yearold has done and why hes living in exile overseas, wanted for espionage in this country.

They have names like prism and boundless informant and xkeyscore. Some of them designed to vacuum up phone and Internet Data are from Companies Like verizon and google and apple and yahoo and some of them could zero in on any one of us.
