    My bill, the Nashua River Wild & Scenic River Act, would designate the river & two of its tributaries, the Squannacook & Nissitissit Rivers, as components of the national Wild & Scenic Rivers System.

    I was saddened to learn of the passing of President Bush this morning. As a nation we are indebted to him & his wife, Barbara, for their abiding willingness to put service to our country at the heart of their long & distinguished lives.

    This attempt to categorically bar a group of people from serving their country based on their identity is contrary to all this country stands for. Our nation is stronger for its commitment to treating every person with dignity & respect.
