It was Madison who introduced it in Congress and who pushed it through. James Madison University, named for the father of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, is 150 miles west of ~-lV Washington in the Shenandoah Valley town of Harrisonburg and well _ outside the Beltway. It is small town middle America, the students there are not politically active, and there are a number of Mennonite families who travel by horse and buggy. Quite a quaint place. It would be a close-in stop for a speech, and photogenic.
