No, sir the way the American People want to rufpblet if the democrats controlled the house of representatives, the government would certainly be running differently. Ms. Sanchez thank you, good morning. Thank you for joining us. I would like to report this morning the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and tri caucus leaders had a meeting with john kelly to talk about a fix for dreamers. There are a number of legislative proposals that have been introduced that would esectionly provide the relief that dreamers essentially provide the relief that dreamers need and deserve antipresident promised. We had a fruitful discussion about the fact that there are solutions that have been proposed, bipartisan solutions, such as the hurdaguilar bill, on the house side. There is a senate bill that is being worked on but that they have core consensus on. Were simply asking for a vote. Give us a vote on a

The White House Visitors Center and it is an amazing tool to understand the white house. 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.

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.

Since the arrival of this chair in 1961 the white house has upped its total to ten original pieces from the suite that was made by pierre belogge. It represents some of the grandeur of white house interiors, how the public rooms were meant to be impressive to foreign diplomats and american citizens who came to the white house for politica

Could you refer to them as the midland sort. And again they are farmers. This is based on the woodhouse family. They have edward and cecilia and on one stone is says e. W. And that stands for edward wood house and this is his home and he and his wife cecilia has six children. You can see it is timber framing and there was not as much wood in england at the time. Things like ship building and tanning have deforested so youre going to need to be resourceful. But the fact that this person can afford wood and have wood and Wooden Furniture in his home shows he is doing well. And we have in the square panels we have quadle and daub. That is like a basket weave, and one plain, with one plain and you would have daub on one side and daub on the other. It consists of what you have on the farm, like straw, anim
