State Sen. Randy Laverty, D-Jasper, is so impressed with the book “A Letter to America,” by David Boren, that he, along with several others, has purchased one for every member of the Legislature.

The lawmaker has also arranged for Boren, president of the University of Oklahoma, to fly to Arkansas on Feb. 16 and to speak to lawmakers at the state Capitol and sign books.

Before being named president of OU, Boren was governor of Oklahoma and a U.S. senator.

Assisting Laverty in purchasing the books and covering Boren’s transportation costs are Joe Bell, AT&T, Mullineaux and Associates, Phillips Managment, D.B. Hawkins Consulting and Paul Berry.
