to the population. it is important we address how easy and effective biological weapons would be. >> is there a question? >> i wanted to ask -- you said there is not a plan that we have in place. at what level do you interface with the scientific community when coming up with some of these contingency plans? >> it is hugely important. the private and local sector which is for profit, non-profit and the scientific community. they have come a long way. if he were in nuclear science and the minute you start studying it

>> the build of the house brought out as an important provision in it because a unified laboratories under hhs rather than dhs. if you do not partner with the scientists, this thing will not workdhs is involved and it is hugely important. we are trying to decide what to stockpile. that is a community thing. we will beat this. i hope we do. it is very important. >> yes, sir.

>> thank you. i represent the advocate hospital system in chicago which is the largest delivery system in chicago. my question is -- what do we know about the stockpiles of weapon was smallpox virus created by the soviets during the 1980's? do we know if these have been genetically all -- altered like the small parks we have now? >> that is probably a question that none of the panelists will have detailed information about. if they did, it probably could not be shared. >> exactly. >> we all know the answers but it is classified [laughter] >> i would just say that yes and

yes of there were substantial issues on both of those questions that you raised. we will leave it at that. here. >> there is some concern with state agents doing it but it is not as great a battlefield weapon as it was originally thought because it takes a long time to work. >> if this young man who has an fbi jacket took stas to atlanta --sars to atlanta and it had to shut down, it seems aside from the health-care issue, is fema

and the faa and tea as a positioned organizationally to manage the business opportunity and transportation issues into the city? >> comments from any of the panel -- the question had to do with the complex biological attack, plant of that involved -- biological attack on a atlanta -- on atlanta in solving many of the elements of government that needs to deal with those issues and is there a plan that would address that? >> this whole business of planning gets very confusing in the sense that i don't think given the nature of this country we could have a federal plan

would one-size-fits-all, atlanta, denver, cleveland, dallas, etc. the best that laboratories can do is suggest guidelines and provide as much detailed information that local authorities in any of these cities might not have and then urge, incest -- insist that the local command adapt that information and those guidelines to the peculiar situation of that city. if we are talking about a plan or a big blueprint and the department of homeless security that can then be delivered to the state of colorado or anywhere else, i don't think that they would happen. >> i would agree with that.

the states and localities have been planning to deal with epidemics of various kinds for a long time. there is still a crossover. there is a larger health care infrastructure to deal with. there is a big overlap. how big the planning is to deal with that depends on where you are. i don't know about atlanta. there's a general agreement that n.y. is doing well and chicago, by the way, has really turned things around mayor daley a few thing. on a federal level since 9/11, each of those agencies should have people designated to try to consider and figure out how they will work with localities in dealing with that. we have not studied this at the granular level to ask if the faa is prepared to deal with this.

others do not have high confidence levels. there are definite areas where we have found big gaps in the chain of resilience. having said that, we are better off and we have done more than we had done as of 9/11. would you all agree with that? >> one way to answer your question is to drill. the military does drills. i often wonder what would happen, pardon me for my home town bias, if the mayor of denver has an alarm clock said 4 3:00 in the morning and picks up the phone and calls the chief of police and the head of the fire department and says there is a weapon of mass destruction in a downtown high-rise building in denver and it will go off in eight hours and then starts his stopwatch per you cannot do that for obvious reasons. you will panic everyone.

it would be kind of instructional. [laughter] and it would be interesting to see how well they did in denver dilem. >> a little of local and even governors do not have the kind of constraints that military people or national security people have been going through these war room type of exercises. if you're going to have governors in charge of it -- some of them do -- you ought to go through this so they learn how to make decisions in that kind of context. they may have to locally. they have not all been through that in the way the pentagon and national security people routinely do. >> i see >chertoff -- secretary chertoff has a hand up and i was

going to take the privilege of some guilty knowledge. >> i thought i would like of an answer to a prior question and pose the proposition to the panel and hear the panel's reaction. the way planning is currently operated is it takes place under the auspices under the auspices of the department of homeland security and brings together the operational agencies. there are between 15-20 scenarios that we plan against. we do a national strategy and national plan and it flows down to an agency plan and ultimately the state and local who have to agree they want to invest the time and effort in doing the planning. they've very frankly depending on where they are. we have probably done a lot with

respect to the gulf and her kids because they are used to dealing with that. the key difference between the military and civilian domain is there is no command in control. under our constitutional system, there cannot be. it is a combination of court of planning, training, and exercises. does about drilling and the more drilling you do, the better the coordination is it is like%+ fielding a baseball team. the manager does not sit there and yell out to catch the ball and throw to second baseman and then the first basement. you train over and over again and when the ball comes to the third baseman he knows what to do. it is an instant management process, not a command process. i would like to come to a statement earlier when people ask how dhs is configured.

somebody said we should separate counter terrorism from the routine missions. i would like to suggest that that is exactly wrong if you look at the question of how you broaden the flow of information and how you network and engage the broadest number of people in a counter -- counter-terrorism mission, the answer is to integrate that mission with day- to-day activity. the essence of what you want to do with your police department is not only have counter- terrorism, you want to build it into the portfolio of every single beat policeman. from the fhs standpoint -- from they dhs standpoint, the way border patrol or the coast guard

has counterterrorism in his portfolio means that every time they have a benign encounter, they are attuned to look for the anomalies that suggest something more serious. i would argue that if you want to get better information sharing and the benefit of network and nimbleness in the field, you want to integrate counter-terrorism as part of the portfolio of responsibilities across the board of a large group of people. i throw it out there. i want to do it now as opposed to when i speak last. >> i offer the opportunity -- >> yes, we have issues in the intel community, there is no question. one of the things they have done the last few years is to change culture through those kind of techniques, understanding how things actually operate at desks

date today and rather than try to chase the systematic structure, do the things that change incentives so that people begin to naturally work together. we found a lot of that has happened in the intelligence community. there are gaps and problems and that is the kind of thing that will allow homeland to work together over time. it is important to try to do that in public self offices around the country. states are all short of money now. they are cutting public health. your average public health officer, your day-to-day duties do not include preparing for an anthrax attacks. you look on that as taking away from your ability to deal with the pressing problems you're already dealing with. we have to find a way to get them as a involved in integrated -- and integrated. >> mr. secretary, i will take

the prerogative even though i don't know if i am entitled as a moderator to push back on the point you make regarding planning. it relates to this issue that because of our federal system we are simply unable to conduct the kind of planning that we would like to do if we were going to truly address how to deal with a major domestic catastrophe. i was just clean oil off of brown pelicans -- i watch us clean oil of a brown pelicans and deal with the damage down there and i ask myself if it were television pictures of citizens with the radiation burns and contamination, what would be the tolerance of the argument that our system did not

permit us to do the planning that we need to do. i believe the action that is required is to get all the branches of government and all of the elements of the problem including federal, state, local etc involved in determining what we need to do to make it work and be able to plan. actually, i believe there is some progress in this regard. i will give you an example. there was a mandate that required state emergency andgers to produce plans there was a program instituted to get army guard assistance to those state emergency managers to create those pledges.

one of the curiosities of the federal system is that only some of the states have completed those plans and not all of them will share them either with their neighboring states or the federal government. for a variety of reasons. might view is that it would be a mistake for this country to wait for when we have a major wmd incident to then decide to take the step to force us to have a planning system that would deal with what i would call the fog of domestic disaster. >> for your principal to work, people have to have confidence in government and at no time in my life has citizen confidence

in their government and lower. >> there are practical as well as legal issues. in theory, you can change the legal issues. there aae many people in congress that would raise issues on a practical basis. anything that is service delivery, you will have to work through state and local agents. if you are trying to impose a hierarchical system to avert their sovereignty and independence, constitutional you could do it, they will resent that. i am agreeing with you but it has to be done by changing the incentives and their motives so that they want to do we have done this to some extent. if you talk to dod about homeland participation, they don't know either who is in charge. >> i have gotten a look -- i

and i want the clochook to thank all of you for this energetic discussion for this serious issue for the country and thank our panelists.

the united states representative from georgia, the hon. john lewis. [applause] >> thank you, madam speaker. first of all, i would like to thank the house and senate leadership for their support of the slave labor task force in making this day possible. i would also like to take the opportunity to recognize the other members of the slave labor task force who are here today, especially former congressperson jc watts,

together we created legislation creating the slave labor task force in 2000. we would like to take a moment and ask the members of the task force to please stand. all the members that are here -- [applause] as chairman, i would like to thank each and every member for their hard work and dedication. you never gave up. you never gave in. we could not where we are today without the leadership of my friend, my partner, and the vice-chair of the task force, senator blanche lincoln. thank you. [applause] additionally, i must also

acknowledge the work of the clerk of the house and staff for dedication for seeing this day become a reality. i must recognize a young man on sse uman, ff, jeffre please stand, you work so hard. we appreciate it. [applause] today we shed light on may long hidden truth. african-american slaves were used as construction for the capitol building. the mandate of the slave labor task force is to study and recognize the contribution of enslaved african americans in building the united states capitol.

there was a 2005 report which officially documented the work of slaves in the capital construction. with these plights and an historic marker to be placed in the capital visitor center, we recognize the blood, sweat, and toil of enslaved african americans who helped construct this embodiment of our democracy. imagine, constructing this nation's capitol building with your own two hands. imagine, and washington's a oppressive heat and humidity. to push and pull massive stones

out of a mosquito-infested quarry. imagine having to fight for the withoutlli chilling winter shoes. just imagine. the united states government, our government, not you but your honor -- your owner, you get $5 per month for your labor. this capital, the most recognizable symbol of our democracy was not built overnight and was not billed by machines, but was built through the back breaking work of laborers and slave laborers. this building from which we project the ideas of freedom, democracy, and in my own mind,

the beloved community stands grounded on a foundation laid by slaves. slavery is a part of our nation's history of which we are not proud. we should not run away or hide from it. the history of the capital, like the history of our nation, should be complete as thousands of visitors walk through our nation's capital and leave without knowing the true history of its construction. today, that changes. today we move one step closer to realizing a dream of an all- inclusive and more perfect union. today through these plaques, we now tell the full history of our nation's history and the capitol building. today through these plaques, we now remind all visitors of the

work of enslaved african americans in building the temple of freedom. again, madam speaker and leaders of the congress, i would like to thank everyone here for their support for the slave labor task force and helping to bring this little truth to life. thank you very much. [applause] >> ladies and gentleman, the united states senator from arkansas, the hon. blanche lincoln. [applause] >> thank you. i, too, want to thank the speaker of the house and the republican leader of the house, our majority leader in the senate and a republican leader, as well for being here today and

join all of us in this very incredible opportunity to pay respect and to really elevate this monumental task that was a part of our great history in this country. i want to say a very, very special thanks to my friend congressman john lewis for those remarks, for his passion, for his steadfast determination in his lifetime to do so many good things on behalf of some many people. most of all, his leadership here with a slave labor task force. i had the privilege of working with him, serving with congressman louis when i served in the house, but i have please -- been pleased to work with him on this initiative. my former colleague jc watts has worked hard on this and i want to extend my thanks to the price

family for joining us here today. i want to remember mr. curtis sykes who is no longer with us but he was an original member of the task force and a resident of arkansas where he was a member of the black history advisory committee and i am grateful to his contribution to this effort and his lifetime contribution to our state of arkansas. i would also like to thank thayer davidson who knew mr. sykes and has joined us as well today. a very special welcome to our distinguished guest for taking time out of their busy schedule to join us here in washington for this momentous occasion today is such a very special day. after almost 10 years of hard work and dedication we are

celebrating the contribution made by enslaved african americans in the construction of the u.s. capitol. when the capital was first being built in the early 1800's, enslaved african americans worked in all facets of its construction. for nearly 200 years, 200 years, the stories of these slave laborers were mostly unknown to the visitors of the capital. we forgot to say thank you to these incredible skilled and talented craftsman and workers. in 1999, all pay stubs were discovered that slaves were directly involved in the construction of the u.s. coup capital. i sponsored a motion to establish a special task force to honor the slave laborers. in 2007, the task force can -- presented congressional leadership with a recommendation

and today the events of the unveiling of these blacks represent the fulfillment of one of our recommendations. as we gather here today, i am reminded about the story of the philip reed and a statue of freedom. we look at the top of this great building when we come to work and there is a statue of freedom on top. the statute was cast in a five- piece plaster mold and italy. prior to the casting, mr. crawford passed away. once it arrived in wwshington, d.c., problems seurat's great work and who assembled the plaster model for all to see got into a pay dispute. when it came time to move it to the mill in maryland where it would be cast into bronze, he refused to reveal how to take apart. work on the statue became stalled until a man by the name

of philip reed solved the mystery. he was an enslaved african american. he worked for the owner of a foundry and was selected to test the bronze statue. he figured out how to disassemble the plaster model by attaching an iron "to the statue's head and gently, ever so gently lifting the top section until a hairline crack appeared. the crack indicated where the joints were located and he then repeated the operation until the five different sections of the statue were discovered. we know about philip reed because the son of a foundry under shared this story back in 1869. it describes philip reed as an expert an admirable work and and highly esteemed by all who knew him. we stand here today not only because of philip reed but for other enslaved african americans

like them who worked tirelessly and sacrificed in the face of strife. these plaques in their own right will serve as a symbol of their sacrifice and will be seen by visitors will enter the building for evermore. in closing, i would like to personally thank the members of the slave labor task force, chairman charles schumer for his help and senator chammbliss who was an original sponsor to honor these slave laborers. this incredible sacrifice and contribution to the construction of this building have gone unrecognized for for two long. i am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this initiative and to thank everyone who joined us today for this very meaningful and long overdue event. as i think back of what might have been on the minds of those

enslaved african americans, i can only think, just as the father mentioned in his prayer and benediction, to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk, with our god would have certainly been on the minds of those enslaved african americans as they did their jobs as skilled laborers, craftsman with a great sense of pride that they produced. thank you all for joining us. [applause] >> ladies and gentleman, republican leader of the house of representatives, the hon. john bain of. ehner. >> we welcome all of you to the capitol today. we take time today from our busy

schedules to honor a group of people who are almost forgotten to. history i want to commend the work of the slave labor task force has done and the work of john lewis and blanche lincoln and jc watts and+ all of those who served on that task force and thank you for being with us today. the capitol buulding that we all love began its lead in septembbr of 1793. it is now the preeminent symbol of freedom and liberty throughout the world. the work of the task force is to remind every american of the contributions that african- american slaves made to the construction of this sacred building prior to the end of slavery here in washington, d.c. in 1814, when the british came to bring the capital, they did in fact burnet. it.

all that remained were the outer walls. the effort to rebuild what was lost was extensive. all of that work was performed by many enslaved african americans throughout the d.c. area. they transported the stone to the capital. they cast the bricks, they cleared the land. they rebuilt the two wings that were destroyed and help construct what we know now as the greatest symbol of representative government and the world and that is our capitol dome. the plaques that we are dedicating today simply say that we will not forget. american slaves not only help build the capital but they helped build a nation and our nation owes them a debt of gratitude. thank you. [applause] >> ladies and gentleman, republican leader of the united

states senate, the hon. mitch mcconnell. [applause] >> speaker pelosi, leaders behner, congressman lewis, the senator lincoln, a distinguished guests and friends, we have come here to tell the rest of the story. we come tooacknowledge the profound indignity that the slaves to help clear this land and lady stones must have suffered in building this great monument to freedom. we remind ourselves that for nearly a century after the preparation of independence was signed, an entire race of people were not represented in that immortal document. we give the slaves in debt some dignity they were denied in life. for all these reasons we are grateful for the work of slave

labor task force chaired by our good friend congressman john lewis and vice chaired by senator blanche lincoln. without it, we would not have these plaques paren we would not now some of the stories that have come down to is as part of the research. senator clinton has already told you the story of a philip -- senator lincoln has already told you the story of phillipsreed. it bears repeating. he played an unlikely role in finishing the construction of the capital as it appears today. originally from south carolina, he worked in a foundry owned by thomas crawford, the man who designed the statue of andrew jackson that we are all familiar with in lafayette park. it was later commissioned to test the statue of freedom that now sits atop the capitol dome.

as senator lincoln pointed out, the plaster model for the statue of freedom was supposed to be displayed in the old house chamber until the time came for it to be disassembled. , cast into a statute and put over the don't. but there was a problem. there was a big problem. the italian sculptor, as blanche pointed out, who ended up stacking the plaster model in the house chamber was the only person around who knew how to take it apart. well, philip reed was apparently the sharpest guy in the capital at the time. he was the only one, literally the only one who could figure out how to take the thing apart without the sculptor's help. it is largely because of him that this great symbol of

freedom now sits atop the capitol dome. he was the only guy is smart enough to figure out how to take it apart. as the historians point out in their excellent report, the story of fell reed underscores one of the great ironies of this construction and that is the irony of the work and helping to cast the statue of freedom who was not himself free. this was a terrible injustice. but that is part of the story. we must continue to tell. as congressman lewis said, the history of the capital, like the history of our nation, should be complete. and so we are grateful to the slave labor task force for their work, they're helping us remember a moralize this painful but important part of our history, and they're helping to make sure that future

generations continue to tell the whole story, the whole story of this place and our nation, thank you very [applause] >> ladies and gentleman, majority leader of the united states senate, the hon. harry reid. [applause] >> as we have heard [laughter] the same year that president lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation, a statue built by slave was lowered onto the capitol dome. the untold story is that we already know is less than reed blood -- [laughter] -- his last name was reid --

but there are different ways to edell it and his was spell rei reid. the title of the capital's crowning feature belies its own history. it hardly describes the foundation of the building over which it presides. each of us speaking today recognizes what a privilege it is to call this place are workplace. countless local slaves labored here long before we or any centers or congressman before us could enjoy that honor. their tasks or backbreaking. there are condemned to a disgraceful injustice but they found the strength to fashion the most graceful. design through blistering summers and biting winters and snake infested quarries, they carted carry this does that would shape the structures in

which players would shipping nation. -- in which leaders would shape a nation. they toiled with nothing more than the hope and the faith of that promise would be fulfilled inside all day built, the rights of their descendants to be free, to be counted as equal citizens, to elect the leaders who would represent them and serve as their representatives. in this place where some much of american history is written, it is our duty to ensure that none of it, no matter how file is erased from the national memory. that is what we're doing here today. we share their story and place this plaque not only for those who worked for generations ago but for those who will work and visit here for generations to come. [applause] >> ladies and gentleman, the

speaker of the united states house of representatives, the hon. manciple [applause] lexi. >> hello again welcome to all of you to the capital for this very special occasion. imagine having this program, a plaque-unveiling ceremony in recognition of the contributions of enslaved african americans to the construction of the united states capitol. because of john lewis and senator blanche linccln, jc watts and so many of you, you have given us this privilege to unveil these plaques to correct this injustice. i'm glad we are doing this in a bipartisan way. ner and mitch mcconnell, i want to acknowledge

the presence of so many members of the traditional black costas and associate members of the caucus, congresswoman barbaralee. today, the challenge to the congress that this has presented is at least partially corrected by giving the recognition that we do. it has been an honor to work side by side in this endeavor. i would also like to recognize two other leaders from the african-american community who had leadership roles. lorraine miller, the clerk of the house, and terry rauth. [applause] terry is the ceo of the capital

visitors center which houses emancipation hall. thank you. i don't know where lorraine is. where is she? she is still working making sure everything is running out that. over the past decade, the slave labor task force worked to document the history of slave laborers who constructed the walls of the united states capitol. we all know that by now we know the valuable contribution reed family. it was a dark chapter in our past within age of equality denied, a dream not yet realized, these masons, carpenters, painters, and others and beacon of hope for our nation and indeed the world. history books up until now out not recorded their story nor describe the pivotal role they played in erecting the capital.

yet the tail will be written for ever into these walls, etched into this structure and spoken from this marble chamber. today, it is enshrined in these plaques which state, "this original text your wall was constructed between 1793-1800 of sandstone, corrida by enslaved african americans who were an important part of the labor force that built the united states capitol for all to read and savor when they visit the capital of the united states, never again will our contribution: recognize. this plaque will join the busts of such an honor truth and shirley chisholm and a capital. they are a symbol to all who come here, these plaques are,

that no american is left out of america's story. " we honor men and women today who became a critical threat in the fabric of our country, our country's heritage and we will continue to honor the diversity of our nation in the months and years ahead. once again, -- i always love to tell the story that when lincoln made his second inaugural address which is sometimes called his greatest speech, with malice toward none, with charity toward all, that was the first time that african-americans as a class were ever attended a presidential inauguration as free people. it was a very, very changed situation by the great amounts of better and that he would make his inaugural address and said those beautiful words and have people there really attending f

reely attending. he said we could not escape history and with his black, we celebrate it. i would like our colleagues to join us with the unveiling of this plaque. and reverend a black who is the chaplain of united states senate will deliver the benediction. after the invocation, i invite you all to participate in the celebration at a brief reception. thank you all for coming. as i look around the room, i see so many of you i want to run up to each of you and ask you to sign my progress [laughter] . rogram. [laughter] we will now unveiled a plaque. [applause]

[applause] are there other members of the
