(actually his title was :fr:Président du Conseil, not prime minister, but this means essentially the same: head of government.) regards, User:High on a tree 14:46, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC) ::OK - thanks for finding that one. I was looking for [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&as_qdr=all&q=%22L%E9on+Blum%22+June+1936 "Léon Blum" June 1936] and could only confirm the month from that outside of 'this day in history'-type pages. BTW, I list items I remove just in case somebody else has a good reference that proves the item is correct after all (lots of disinformation on the Internet, so I look at a whole bunch of different websites to see if there is a consensus - if not, then I list it here). --User:Maveric149 17:23, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
