The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa. Veterans History Project Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I want to report to my colleagues what I am doing today: delivering some history to the Library of Congress. I will tell you about that project in the Library of Congress. This is something that I have done around Veterans Day each year for the last 8 years. In the past and including today, it has added up to the histories of about 95 veterans who have told their stories to me and my staff. Veterans are an important part of our communities. The sacrifices of the brave men and women who have served our country should never be forgotten. My office recently interviewed 12 of these 95 veterans--this time from the Cedar Rapids, IA, area--for what the Library of Congress calls the Veterans History Project. Stories of our veterans help us to better understand the sacrifices that have granted us security and prosperity and have allowed us to live in freedom and with the liberties of this great Nation, the United States of America. Today, these stories of the latest 12 veterans will be delivered to the Library of Congress, preserving these firsthand accounts for future generations to appreciate the role of the people who defend our freedoms. For the project that we had in Cedar Rapids, I want to give a special thank-you to Teri Van Dorston, at the Veterans Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids, for hosting the event that we held last November there and to Randy Langel from Kirkwood Community College for coordinating the students to perform and record these interviews. I look forward to hosting another Veterans History Project event in November of this year in the Western Iowa city of Council Bluffs. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant bill clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Recognition of the Majority Leader The majority leader is recognized. ____________________ |
