insecure, knowing your American history is a way
to feel more secure.” Burchfield said. “It’s bene
ficial to know your American history. Its not a
blueprint for the future, but it helps us figure
things out.”
Burchfield said the Bush Library is a great
place to learn about American history.
“It's (the Bush Library) a nice asset to have close
by that you can come over and see the real things of
history,” he said. “I think when people (look back
through history), they will know this country has
been through a whole lot in its short 200 year histo
ry and will survive and persevere.”
On Wednesday, the library will commemorate
the fifth anniversary of its dedication with a cele
bration in the library's rotunda. The event is open
to the public.

rates in the South are historical.
“If you look back 50 years,
southern states have always had
higher rates,” Randall said.
“This is due to lower literacy
rates and less awareness of
what the disease can do. The
message just doesn’t get
through in the South.”
The two groups with the
highest incident rates are drug
users and homosexual men,

Perry, who won a full term
after succeeding President
George W. Bush two years ago,
led Sanchez, a banker who spent
at least $59 million of his own
money on the race, 59 percent to
39 percent with more than half
the expected votes counted.
In the weeks approaching the
election, the gubernatorial cam
paign centered on the state’s
growing homeowners’ insurance
crisis, questions about shady
business dealings and respect
for law enforcement.
Some analysts estimated
Sanchez and Perry could spend
as much as $100 million com
bined, breaking the 1990 record
of $53.4 million for a Texas
governor’s race, even adjusted
for inflation.
Cornyn, elected attorney gen-
a speaker with the ability to
make an impact because these
groups are the hardest to reach.
“It is the key messenger who
must deliver the message of how
serious syphilis is,” he said.
Since overall syphilis rates
are lower than ever before and
the disease is easy to detect and
treat in its early stages, the CDC
set its plan to eliminate syphilis
in the United States in 1999,
Chatterjee said.
Syphilis can be eliminated
but not eradicated because it is
transmitted by sexual contact,
Chatterjee said.
“In order to eradicate it,
this effort would have to be
eral four years ago, was leading
Kirk, the former Dallas mayor,
by 56 percent to 43 percent.
Cornyn maintained that Kirk
is too closely tied to out-of-state
liberals and soft on defense
issues. Kirk countered that he
forged a bipartisan reputation as
mayor and was better suited to
work with leaders of both parties.
In the race for lieutenant
governor, often considered the
most powerful elected office in
the state, Dewhurst was
attempting to move up from
land commissioner. He depicted
Sharp as an out-of-step liberal,
while Sharp touted support
from business leaders.
In legislative races, the GOP
was trying to win control of the
Texas House for the first time in
130 years.
Texans were voting on 32
U.S. House races, including six
in which an incumbent was
without major-party opposition
and three more that were uncon-
global,” he said.
The CDC aims to make 90
percent of U.S. counties syphilis
free by 2005.
The effort was also prompt
ed by the high correlation
between syphilis and an
increased HIV rate.
“Since syphilis creates ulcers
and breeches on the skin, HIV
can spread easily.” Chatterjee
said. "There is a two to five
times greater chance of acquir
ing HIV if syphilis is present.”
Syphilis has three stages and
the final stage is the most seri
ous and can result in death. If
caught in the first two stages, it
can be successfully treated.
