Re: "In introducing Bowles, Burr said: "Erskine Bowles is the best president of the university system we had the pleasure of having."

There's actually more than just these two, Ryan. I don't have them in front of me right now, but I've been looking at three different PACs that are in Dole's name, and this one (Leadership Circle) is not one of those. Thanks for the info. :)
