so let me conclude with one overarching notes, that dovetails from comments cj nate. i said one of our purposes for drafting this document was to attempt to educate people about current law. we also have another purpose and that is we know we can and should have a better conversation about religion's role in public life and we hope this statement will help us do so. the statesman should help settle the debate about whether current law provides any protection for the right of religious expression and practice in public life. it clearly does and should focus our attention on the merits of specific was in court decisions in this area and as we say in this document we hope as we americans debate these very important areas of church-state law and religion's role in public life we will describe the ava accurately. deese want-- doing this job of describing the law accurately certainly will not and our debate over religious liberty but it should help to make them much more productive. with that let me thank you again for being here and let me turn over the mic to e.j. for the
