calvin coolidge is the last u.s. president not to have a free standing named after him presidential library. since coolidge, all other american presidents we've had, even nixon, they have an edifice built somewhere in their honor. the tourist brochure from the national archives about all the presidential libraries includes this kind of creepy map that seems like the disembodied heads loom over regions of the country. look at poor arizona. they have nothing to do with nixon, but he looms over the state like a death's head. this map showed all the different places you could go in the country as a member of the public to explore the modern presidents and the things they have preserved for history about their presidency. as of today, as of may 1, 2013, you can add a new one. brochure is now out of date. down there in dallas, texas, today, the george w. bush presidential library and museum officially opened to the public for the first time, and i think it is important to know, i think it should probably be said every time

this would never have happened in the coolidge administration in which i served. i would like to thank my dear friend lindsey graham for bringing this important resolution to the senate. resolutions happen all the time. this is a very important one and it wouldn't have happened without the leadership and support of the distinguished chairman of the foreign relations committee. i'd like to thank him for his continued leadership, including the passage of the resolution that was passed through the foreign relations committee yesterday concerning the situation in syria. mr. president, i would ask inclusion in the record three articles that i think are of importance for our colleagues. one is entitled -- "washington post," "iran paves over suspected nuclear testing site despite u.n. protest." the second is another "washington post" associated press, "iran expands new technology for program that could be used to make weapons." and of course it's of interesting, another one, "iranian soldiers fighting for assad in syria." i would ask unanimous consent that they be made p
