The program today, the idea for this program came from something a question David Roosevelt asked to last year where he said whatever happens to my parent United Nations . Ae idea was that there was vision president roosevelt and mrs. Roosevelt had about how the world would respond. Would try tod prevent a catastrophe like world war ii. President roosevelt did not live long enough to see it come to. Ruition Eleanor Roosevelt did and was one of the United Nations first female representatives and wrote the first declaration of human rights. Today, we look back that they had a vision. The United Nations was created, and what happened to it. Linda, i turn it over to you. Thank you.

One can only imagine, i believe they came to work here or lived here in 1941, the u. N. Charter was approved in june of 1945. I can only
Took seriously his oath to defend the constitution. This is [applause] this is where i usually offer my caveat, and tell people i am not a philosopher. Im going to do something a little different and im going to speak as a conservative, and as a conservative judge. One who had the good fortune to be particularly ill educated.
