unlike obamacare in which out of washington, d.c., washington bureaucrats dictate the same approaches taken across the nation no matter how different the states are and so the money is given to the state and theyde are asked to provide for their citizens in a way to pick for the needs of the state. the returning power to states and the patient as a ultimately gives the patient more power. i will repeat this does not replace the bill that is beingng offered by senator mcconnell. it is an amendment to that and if it turns out that some senators feel that particular bill is not adequate to fulfill that campaign promises, we think this amendment could take away the bill for the rest of the way. mr. president, i yield the flol floor. we are working on a version of the healthcare bill they've been talking about today and i know my colleagues are going to try to say they are projecting and want to ensure people with pre-existing conditions so they don't have to pay through the nose, but i think the president called the house version of this attempt a very mean there'll, and i think the origi

around 1900, washington, d.c. was celebrate iing the centenni and of course around the country, many of the cities were developing parklands, such as central park and new york. there was an interesting congress in doing something similar here in d.c. and senator james mcmillan was appointed chairman of the senate park commission and the purpose was to really look at the laffont plans and to attempt to implement the laffont plan and really make washington, d.c. a premier nation's capitol and one of the greatest cities in the country. of course, part of that plan involved creation of a national mall with public buildings and monuments and museums along a grassy area ventures south from the capitol building. in order to accomplish the plan, the railroad stations which were located too close to the capitol building, needed to be removed. if you can imagine not only did you have two train stations, but you had a number of tracks and railroad crossings throughout the city in order to get to the stations. >> daniel bernh

it's sort of that story and interaction between george washington. they have a long career after the american resolution including being a figure in the french revolution until it went really south. their relationship almost like a father father and son were highly unusual. and impressionistic relationship. kind of a history of the new world. and now that. a lot of stuff most of us would not remember. with the house of lancaster in the rise of the tutor dynasty in great britain we think of this as long-lasting but actually it wasn't. and ended with queen elizabeth the first. and then finally two books i'm reading today. and i haven't finished. one is the history of the empire by peter jepson. the history is fascinating. it's kind of tough getting through. i will get through. his thesis was we misunderstood it. it was actually more vibrant. parts of the empire. and then a fascinating novel. is sort of a combination in the concept of the dead. talking about their condition. it is nothing but a series of narratives from people who were deceased. they we
