Senator Byrd - Senate Speeches
Despite feverish activity this week on the part of the U.S. and Great Britain to persuade a majority of members of the Security Council to support a second resolution authorizing war with Iraq, the President and his chief advisers have made it clear that the activity is merely window dressing and that the United States is prepared to act with or without U.N. support. For the Bush Administration, war with Iraq seems to be no longer a question of if, but when -- and the window on "when" is rapidly closing. Dr. Condoleezza Rice, the President's National Security Advisor, declared over the weekend, "There is plenty of authority to act.

Today, the herbarium at WVU has moved its 180,000 plus specimens to the new Life Sciences Building, into smaller but more efficient facilities. Support for the state herbarium and its curator, Dr. Donna Ford-Werntz, is currently strong with good research taking place. Marshall University’s herbarium houses more than 50,000 specimens of vascular plants, and more than 5,000 bryophytes. The next largest herbarium at West Virginia Wesleyan is home to more than 30,000 vascular plants. What would happen if those collections were given away to an institution outside West Virginia? What a tragic loss that would be for the conservation of natural resources in West Virginia. ... [Read More]
