That is when the exit polls came out at 10 p. M. Last night. Wed be down as much as 2. 5 . Vote, the expectations were if we got a Hung Parliament, sterling could fall as much as 1. 20.

For untold years he has been a editor at the multimodel congress relating to the history of the First Congress to meet under the constitution. In addition to welcoming all of you, i would like to acknowledge peter, who is your next wednesday to tell us about how artists interpret history for the canvas. Hopefully we will see many of you, if not all of you next wednesday. Kenneth will talk to us about the vision of the west as a motivator in the American Revolution. The expanded concept of revolution through the hamiltonian revolution into the early congresses.

The chaplain lord god, as citizens of this great land, we mark today the 50th anniversary of the tragic death of the 35th president of the United States, president john f. Kennedy. In commemorating such a one whose life and presidency were to sow , we do so not in tears, as the psalmist says, but rather to reap with shouts of joy.

N your name we pray, amen. The speaker pro tempore pursuant to section 2a of Hou
