I found your quiet tour along the rugged road of American history and origin of the Constitution most enjoyable reading. Of particular interest to me were the suggested alterations of the Constitution presented by former Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter.

Sir Oliver Wright provided a unique and enlightening assessment of the political circumstances in Britain that led to the American Revolution, Independence, and the Constitution. Additionally, the portrait of Philadelphia and wealth of information on upcoming bicentennial events are very useful to readers.

Thank you very much for your remarkable contribution to the celebration of the bicentennial of the United States Constitution. I am thrilled by the overwhelming enthusiasm over the commemoration and I am extremely proud to have the privilege of serving on the National Commission.
