Without the Corps, (A&M) would be just another huge public university. The Corps ensures our traditions will continue even as it reforms and modernizes itself. The Corps has its problems and its flaws but, like it or not, and no Aggie should misunderstand: it is the Corps that makes A&M different -- and better. That is why I believe the Corps deserves the support of every Aggie. Including me.

Enjoyed your public comments a couple of days ago about not looking for a "victory", per se, in Afghanistan. You and Mr. Obama are gonna get that situation going in the right direction very soon. Especially with that bar of accomplishment being so definite now. My congratulations.
