History:	(From website provided by ArcGIS Blogs):

    	A zipped shapefile (163 kb) of US 50 states + DC, suitable for enhancing with
	new tabular data. Source is Esri Data & Maps for ArcGIS 10. Attributes as
	provided include only state name, state FIPS, state postal code, Census region,
	and "draw order". The attribute table can be enhanced by any software package 
	which can write out a DBF file, but it MUST be saved in the original draw order,
	which matches a set of state attributes with the correct piece of geography.
