This was followed by cheers and applause from the crowd while the Fourth Artillery fired a national salute. 680: 788: 635:, she said the reliefs were not meant to be historically accurate: "Of course, we knew all this, but we disregarded it because we wanted these panels to portray the most prominent men of the history of the country who were in the Senate during the 16 years that my husband was Senator."
