I do not know why it has turned out this way in the last few periods before we went on a long district work period. It turned out that I would be the last speaker and adjourn the House. And I think this is more exciting than most periods because both of our two major parties are going to have their big conventions, one in San Diego for the Democrats; it is a return to Chicago from a scene that I covered as a television talk show host and news reporter, the madness of that week in Chicago in 1968, which overlapped the ugly and last, until Chechnya, Soviet invasion with tanks of a nation, in this case the sovereign nation of what was once the sovereign nation and is now the sovereign nation of Czechoslovakia. In this last moment before we adjourn and when we come back in September, it will be to finish up our work in the fastest two years of my life, the 104th Congress. And 94 days from today, we will determine whether this country continues on its road toward self-destruction.
