impeccable quality and consistently formatted. My only question is in the two Congressional Record refs is "page" spelled out and in the rest it's "p." Why is that?
605:"Smoot, however, stated if the bills had not been reached by" – This phrase uses "reached" in a way unfamiliar to me. Is it a legal term? Are some words missing? 133:

Is "was" really needed? 755: 30: 17: 766: 632:"sculptor member" seems to be terminology used by the CFA to designate the member representing sculptors, and I'm reluctant to alter it.- 342:
Yes but go to that file, click on the source\photographer link, and the photo that comes up is in no way the source for that painting.
