[We have the following announcement.]

The National History Center will hold a Congressional briefing on the history of executive orders on Friday, February 17, at 10 a.m. in the Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2103, Washington, DC.

Speakers:  Julia Azari (Marquette), Matt Dallek (George Washington University), and Andrew Rudalevige (Bowdoin)
