As you may know, Ronnie will observe his 92nd birthday soon. In earlier times we would have been able to celebrate that day with great joy and wonderful memories of our life together. Now, while I can draw strength from these memories, I do it alone, as Ronnie struggles in a world unknown to me or the scientists who devote their lives to Alzheimer's research. Because of this, I am determined to do what I can to save other families from this pain. I'm writing, therefore, to offer my support for stem cell research and to tell you I'm in favor of new legislation to allow the ethical use of therapeutic cloning. Like you, I support a complete ban on reproductive cloning. However, I believe that embryonic stem cell research, under appropriate guidelines, may provide our scientists with many answers that are now beyond our grasp. Sincerely, Nancy Reagan.

As we reviewed them, we asked exactly those questions. Some of them were stolen Israeli weapons. Some of them were American weapons stolen or gotten through a third party. A lot of them were smuggled either through the tunnels from the…
