[applause] >> do you know who would have loved this day? walter. what today is. mr. president, and mr. president, members of the cbs family, member of walter's family, the other day, walter's grandson, who is a proud member of the cbs washington bureau now, working this summer as an intern, came into my office and ask me, what was it like when my grandfather was here? i tried to tell him, and the first thing i told him was, it was fun. we all wanted to be there. his grandfathers' enthusiasm captured us all. walter cronkite was the most curious man i have ever met. he always wanted to know everything about everything, and he wanted to know it before everyone else knew it. that was the spirit that settled on to the washington bureau and the cbs news. there was a downside to this. many of

and that's a little bit of the walter i knew. >> i didn't work with walter.end for a long time. like everyone that knew walter, i was always asked, what's he really like? and i would answer, he's just the way you hope he is. he was always, i thought, the same guy that most of america guessed he was. he was physically brave, and he wasn't afraid to show his emotions. he's generous, fun loving, a courtly gentleman, and good company wherever we were. to steal a line from melville, he was my harvard and my yale. i learned to think and appreciate and observe the world the way walter did. i even learned how to handle my own very, very small celebrity watching him enjoy with good humor, a smile, and patience his slack-jawed admirers. our happy friendship began years ago. we were hosting a financed raiser at my home down on the chesapeake bay. walter and betsy were the celebrity couple. it was a rather dull affair, actually. mrs. cronkite seemed content. she was whistling a little ditty to herself. seemingly. of course, all of us that know betsy's little whistle, and

: in walter: yes. dr. doudna: i think there needs to be a broad societal consensus concerning whether that type of use of gene editing should proceed. there obviously hasn't been the opportunity -- >> so if you knew that somebody, genetically an embryo, was going to get a fatal blood disease, ou would not fix it? dr. dr. doudna: i would advise other approaches, i think, today. i think the use of it in somatic cell application should happen first and you know, partly for safety reasons but really frankly also to give us some time to grapple with this issue. are we going to start editing the germ line. i think once it begins it will be very hard to stop it, very hard to say, i will do this thing that not that thing. everybody's feelings about this will be different. and who decides? who pays for it? walter: so you're saying that we, the responsible people should pause. not do it until we grapple. your co-author, i think a fwradge watt student of yours, sam sternberg, i sume it's a woman by the pseudonym chri

former north carolina --gressman walter jaros died walter jones died earlier this month. a public memorial service will be held today in a greenville, north carolina. yesterday in the house, has colleagues observed a moment of silence and shared memories of the republican. the speaker pro tempore: the house will please come to order. for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina seek recognition? secretary price: i ask unanimous consent to speak out of -- speak out of order. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> i rise along with my colleagues in the north carolina delegation to remember -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is correct, the house is not in order. the gentleman shall proceed. >> we honor and remember the life of walter jones junior, a treasured colleague, a public servant and a personal friend to many across this chamber. walter died on february 10, his 76th birthday and lived a life full of service four years in the north carolina national guard, and quarter century in the u.s. house of representatives. walter and i met long before

barbara walters. tehran, 1977. i said, indeed, we work for the same company and gyptian said he wants to know, is it true she is paid $1,000,000 a month? and i said, well, actually i think it's $1,000,000 a year. and the drivers face fell. barbara walters was already a global icon. and then didn't it kind of propel her her career from that point on? isn't that a wonderful story? because how many journalists have had similar experiences to that? and, you know, one of them who did was walter cronkite. so walter cronkite was, of course, the leading anchor of the day and a figure of unquestioned authority. and someone who viewed barbara walters with a little bit of skepticism about whether she was a real journalist. and they were both trying to cover the groundbreaking things that were happening in the middle east, a groundbreaking trip of anwar sadat of egypt to israel. and it was barbara walters and her ability to cultivate relations with world leaders that a few months earlier in 1977 enabled her to get the first si

barbara walters lobby rep.ey in press secretary explain why she should get the interview, but why diane sawyer should not. and the bureau chief who had been in the middle of this and have very much get involved, said, listen everybody, it is diane stern. she got a call from the white house press secretary said, you are getting the interview and we decided it is going to barbara. so robin understood this was going to cause some internal consternation. so she calls the president and says, the good news is we got the interview. bad news is the white house is giving it to barbara. and he exploded in anger because it was just the latest, the straw that broke the camels back in terms of barbara's rivalry with diane which had made diane very angry and which diane was complaining about. and the president said turn it down. tell them we will not take it. which is, as you know, totally unheard of. you don't turn down an interview with the president because they will not give it to who you want ? that is not the way it wo

to know walter jones is to love walter jones. and i have to believe that the relationship he had with so many and in particular his family and his extended family, his work family, had to be driven by that love that compassion that was part of him. it was undeniable. it was so clearly presented by every step, every thought he shared. he was a person of deeply rooted faith. his christian faith, his catholic faith, guided him. he's a pious individual. but was not self-righteous spoke with such integrity and such deeply rooted beliefs that our goal in life is to connect inextricably with everyone and to serve everyone. he understood the role of legislators to be compassionate. to emfa -- to empathize. to be able to express the many people who trusted in his leadership, to share what needed to be done here. so tonight we gather together to offer our thanks to this consummate gentleman who was in every bit of the way an individual of greatness but if we do not mention his heart, his kindness, we don't capture the individual. his kindn

walter cronkite's anger was when barbara walters became the million dollar a year later and he was getting $600, 000 a year. when he left, he was getting paid a million for being on retainer. the kids need to negotiate his contract. a million today sounds small. look at what katie couric's contract was. people get paid hefty salaries. cronkite was the most well paid. money was not always as motivation. it was more if he got so used to be on television he did not complete if he was not on. >> what was the story of mike wallace and dan rather? >> mike wallace is a whole other case. he was the toughest interviewer cbs ever had. it is a style of how you interview people. wallace and cronkite had their differences, but they became close in later years. it is called the battle of the bathroom at cbs. it is a long story. rather did "memo gate" about george w. bush in the national guard. there was some sentiment by mike wallace that rather should have just quit and taken the knife. edward r. murrow always said in journalism, be ready to clean your desk out in half an hour. if you make one big mist

walter: yeah. think, it comes down to, to me, with any technology, first and foremost you have to have a risk versus benefit approach. i would want to know, does this even works, does the company have any credentials or evidence , what is the safety of this. decide, is theo risk, because there was always risk, is the risk worth the benefit? are there alternatives that would be better or just good that i would consider? walter: and suppose the benefit is better than the risk? then, i thinkll at some point in might be something that we have to consider. we had an interesting meeting in early january of 2015, i think we talk about it in the book, where a group of scientists, of about 20 people, including paul berg and david baltimore who had been involved in the discussions in 1970's on them up -- the ethics of molecular cloning -- >> let's posit that. there is something on cloning where they say they need a moratorium on cloning. well, molecular cloning means making copies of little pieces of dna in

he knew the funny walter cronkite. the bitterness was directed toward cbs, not just dan rather perry -- dan rather. there is the new regime. he thought he would be able to hang around cbs in the 1980's and 1990's and they did not have a role for him. brokaw said he always had to be the top dog. he is very darwinian. that comes across in my research. with walter cronkite, people only see him as the friendly man, which he was, but there is another side of him that wanted to be the best. he was obsessed with ratings. he is a fierce competitor that i have written about, and that includes presidents and generals. his desire to be the best was very pronounced. >> you talked to a nixon aide chuck colson. what did you learn from him? >> he was very nice. this was before he died in florida. he was a very repentant pro- nixon person. he regrets the nixon tapes, he told me perryhe was embarrassed when i read to him transcripts of white house tapes about walter cronkite. he was the pit bull of richard nixon. colson was on to the i

walter: cautious. president carter: we've got a lot to work on, but one of the things putin said, almost to change the subject, he said, i have had two different sessions in russia this year, in january and april, with representatives from syria to try to resolve the syria issue. he said it has not been very fruitful. but what i think we should do is have the united states and russia sponsor a meeting with the top leaders in the region. saudi arabia, iran, and turkey. if you get those five leaders together or the representatives, and we can decide together what to do about syria, and whatever we decide, aside and his syrian opposition will have to agree to it. i said, that's a wonderful idea. have you made that proposal to president obama? he said, no, i haven't. i said, do you mind if i make that proposal to him on your behalf? he said please do. so the next day i sent obama an e-mail and told him that is what putin had asked in about a week later, you may remember that john kerry went to see putin to

walter: [laughs] amb.darroch: our bilateral relations, particularly with the gulf countries, are very important. if you want to look more optimistically, where some of the things are happening, in the gulf in particular, in terms of liberalizing the -- in terms of the oil supplies running out, that will come in the future. you know, both in syria and in libya, they are working hard to try to reestablish security, and a lot of resources have been put out. it is a tragedy what is happened in both of those places, especially the loss of life and destruction of syria. my friend who especially specialized in the inner world, it is a tragedy. i do not question whether it is now achievable, but we will try. walter: there are some young people in the audience and other people watching on cnn. do you have any advice for people who like to follow the u.k. news? what should they read? what should they do? amb. darroch: [laughs] there are so many different ways of following the news now banned that used to. i kind of

gary walters 2007. :steve reflect on your 27 years : at the white house and that moment of september 11th and september 12th. gary walters well, obviously : that was the most horrific event that occurred because of the loss of life life. obviously there was a tremendous scare when president reagan was shot. those were probably the two most difficult days. learning, as it turned out, on the day president reagan was shot i wasn't at the white house. i was at home and it was my day off and learning that the president of the united states had been shot and may be near death that was a difficult day. but the -- those days are over with and by the history and the events that go on at the white house. the positive event that occurred was when president reagan had gorbachev at the white house, and i literally felt the breaking down of the cold war and the iron curtain. i mean, that was quite an experience. i had a tremendous opportunity over the years to oversee history. chronicling that history as a historian

walter: move back to education. if you could list the seven or eight, or five or six things we could do to improve 0-18 education, what would they be? mike: oh my goodness. one of the things in 0-5, that we are trying to do is to reach the parents. we have done a lot, we have funded a lot of brain research on babies, nonintrusive, high-quality brain research using an e.g. machines -- meg machines, that registers depending on how the babies are reacting, what parts of the brain are being engaged. as an example, they have this baby, eight months old or nine months old in this huge thing. it looks like a hairdryer from mars. the babysitting there. the parent is right in front of the baby interacting so the baby is not threatened in any way. from the baby looking at a screen where there is someone doing puppets or talking on a tv screen. the baby is just fascinated, looking at that monitor glued to the monitor. they are registering what is happening in the visual and auditory, and how those connections are being made. t
