Richard Sesbino, Senior Auditor at BrooksWatson, a Houston, Texas, accounting firm, opened the discussion by thanking the county auditor's office for cooperating in what the external auditor called "a very pleasant experience." Sesbino quickly got to the heart of the matter, advising the court that the county received an unmodified rating -- the overall highest rating -- and a "clean opinion." In other business, Fannin County Commissioners Court approved the final payment of Help America Vote Act (HAVA) invoices in order to qualify for reimbursement from the Secretary of State.

1963 – Cold War: U.S. President John F. Kennedy gives his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech, underlining the support of the United States for democratic West Germany shortly after Soviet-supported East Germany erected the Berlin Wall. "Ich bin ein Berliner" (German pronunciation: [ɪç bɪn ʔaɪn bɛʁˈliːnɐ]; "I Am a Berliner") is a speech by United States president John F. Kennedy given on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. It is one of the best-known speeches of the Cold War and among the most famous anti-communist speeches. The speech is considered one of Kennedy's finest, delivered at the height of the Cold War and the New Frontier. Twenty-two months earlier, East Germany had erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to West Berlin. The speech was aimed as much at the Soviet Union as it was at West Berliners. Another phrase in the speech was also spoken in German, "Lasst sie nach Berlin kommen" ("Let them come to Berlin"), addressed at those who claimed "we can work with the Communists," a remark at which Nikita Khrushchev scoffed only days later. Speaking to an audience of 120,000 on the steps of Rathaus Schöneberg, Kennedy said, "Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was civis Romanus sum ["I am a Roman citizen"]. Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner!"... All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner!"
