I'm helping my g/f out with this assignment she has, and I'm finding it actually quite difficult. I figured some of you here might be able to help. It's a crossword puzzle using words having to do with the US gvmt. I've done 85% of the crossword, but these are escaping me. I'm embarrassed that I don't know some of these, but I'm gonna go ahead and blame it on a long day heh.
