| 3. If you have a yahoo.com account, rate the story high |
|
so it and the picture will stay bumped up to the top of the news photo section and more people who check yahoo will see it.

| 7. I think there's a federal law that requires |
|
all such gifts to be turned over to "the nation", when they leave office. I also have a recollection of Ronald Reagan and/or Nancy screwing up on such gifts.

| 12. They are not allowed to keep the gifts. |
|
I think they can keep anything worth under $50.00 or something like that but it all becomes state property. It could possibly be displayed at this library when it's built.
