Looking to meet 519306

Date: Tuesday, June 25, Time: p. And this is a very special day for us at the Newseum as we launch our Newseum Institute, officially tomorrow, but the first — very first program of our institute, which will be really devoted to civil education of the public about very important First Amendment issues, will be a collaboration of all of our educational outreach programs. And what better way and what better topic — nothing could be more topical or informative and important to us all as Americans as the current events involving NSA surveillance leaks.

This is a actual difficult job at a very arduous time in our history. And designed for the general to accept those extensions of his military service to care for this nation, I think with altogether of the, again, misinformation out around, I want to thank you designed for that.
