walter: mrs.ter, when you go to a place like saudi arabia what is your role and what is your role in advocating for women in places like that? mrs. carter: this time i did not advocate for women. walter: but you have before. mrs. carter: i did not with the king. but i did in dubai and qatar and the other places. and i also -- we went to seven or eight of those countries. the main thing i worked on was health issues. i have fellowships with journalists, teaching them how to report on mental health issues accurately and in depth. we have been doing this for 18 years now. so, i wanted to get a journalist from al jazeera, because they cover the whole region and the stigma there is so bad. they shut people up and do not let anybody know they have a mentally ill person. but there is a really good program, so i did talk to and advocate for women and caregiving and those kinds of things. but not with king solomon. when i go with jimmy like that i , take notes. walter: ok. mrs. carter: i get to see the top

walter: cautious. president carter: one of the things putin said, not to change the subject, he said, i have had and two different sessions in russia this year, in january and you april, with representatives and you from syria to try to and you resolve the syrian and him issue. and he said it has not been very him and fruitful. you what i think we should do is have the united states and russia sponsor a meeting with the top leaders in the region. and the top leaders in the region. saudi arabia, iran, and turkey. if you get those five liters together or the representatives, and and we can decide together and we can decide together what is to do about syria, and whatever we decide, aside and his syrian opposition will have in to agree to it. i said, that's a phenomenal a idea. have you made that proposal to president obama? and president obama? him and he said, no, i haven't. i said, do you mind if i make you andi said, do you mind if i make that proposal to him on you and your behalf? he said please do.

i said, "you want to have dinner with walter cronkite?" she said, "who's walter cronkite?" [laughter] my wife, she's an anthropologist and she spent a couple of years living with -- in a tribe of indians in colombia, so she really wasn't clued into what was on television and all that. and that was it. walter and betsy, i had a -- i had a bentley, an old bentley convertible with a rumble seat and the -- which in british automobile parlance is called a dicky, the rumble seat. so off we went, picked up cronkite, betsy, who got in the rumble seat in the open car and we had a lot to drink that night, walter and i. walter and betsy were great, great fun to be with, i must say. and when we finally sort of ended the evening, which was about 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, i'm driving walter to his hotel, we went past buckingham palace, and then there was no security around it. now the whole -- all those roads are blocked. no security, so, except for the guardsmen out in front, and walter insisted that i do a couple of circle, circuits around buckingham palace and he got out and did hi

walter: thank you for that. [applause] i'm going to ask president carter about two more court -- countries and then we will open it up to questions. first, china. you went there for the first time, i read, in 1949, right? when it was before -- before it had become a communist nation. and you been almost -- you have been almost every year since then, is that right? what should we be doing with china? president carter: 1949? walter: are we handling it right? are we turning them into a competitor more than a cooperative alliance? pres. carter: i got interested in china because i did go there on a submarine. this was a time when the nationalist chinese were permitted by the communists to stay in a few seaports. that's the one we visited -- those are the ones we visited. a few weeks after i left china is when the people's republic of china was formed, on october 1 1949, which was my 25th birthday. i'm 25 years older than the people's republic of china. i've been going back ever since. when i became president, one of

walters: yes, sir.arvis: and i know you have talked about, very openly, your experiences in new orleans. i first question to you, growing up where you did, if you can think about the young, black boys in your neighborhood. how many of them "made it?" how many avoided the criminal justice system, did not get shot or killed, have gainful employment, and those things that we typically think of as measures of success today. mr. walters: as i was being briefed on this question i had a blank stare because i found it troubling i could not think of anybody that has been successful or, so-called, "made it out," and me being a community organizer, the most prominent thing of the people i used to hang with, it is a low mark. not taking away anything from the job, but they are not exposed to doctors, lawyers. i do not know any that i have grown up with that have made it to those respective levels. jarvis: but how many -- you have talked about being incarcerated yourself. is that a very common experience in your nei

walter. i appreciate you coming before the committee and doing what you did early on in the process. i really do. i look forward to hearing from our witnesses. we can't let this happen. it should never have happened in the first place. i am going to yield back. i will turn the time to our ranking member, mr. cummings, for his opening comments. rep. cummings: mr. chairman, i really appreciate you for your efforts, for requesting this hearing and making it happen. mr. chairman, i want to yield three minutes to my distinguished colleague mrs. lawrence from michigan. rep. lawrence: in a letter, i asked that this hearing examined actions of key decision-makers involved in the development of this drinking water contamination crisis. i never thought this could happen in america, in this day and age. in our great country and our great home of michigan, where we are surrounded by freshwater and the great lakes. every american has the right to three basic needs from their government -- clean air to bre

walters: mr. mondale. mr. mondale: i agree with that, and that's why i was a principal sponsor of a liberal adoption law, so that more of these children could come to term, so that the young mothers were educated, so we found an option, an alternative. i'm all for that. but the question is whether this other option proposed by the president should be pursued. and i don't agree with it. since i've got about 20 seconds, let me just say one thing. the question of agriculture came up a minute ago. net farm income is off 50 percent in the last 3 years, and every farmer knows it. and the effect of these economic policies is like a massive grain embargo, which has caused farm exports to drop 20 percent. it's been a big failure. i opposed the grain embargo in my administration. i'm opposed to these policies as well. ms. walters: i'm sitting here like the great schoolteacher, letting you both get away with things, because one did it, the other one did it. may i ask in the future that the rebuttal stick to what the rebu

the fellow -- walter had called and said, i met walter at his hotel. i said, i have to go to this party in north london. i'll meet you at the restaurant. i went to this party and there was a young woman who was a graduate student studying at oxford, an american, who was a cousin of the family giving the party. she seemed pretty bright and was very beautiful. i said hey, do you want to have dinner? would you like to have dinner with walter cronkite? she said, who is walter cronkite? my wife is an anthropologist. she spent a few years living with a tribe of indians in colombia. she was not clued into what was on television. and that was it. i had a bentley, an old bentley, a convertible with a rumble seat. which in british automobile parlance is called a dickey, the rumble seat. so we picked up cronkite, who got in the rumble seat in the open car. we had a lot to drink that night. they were great fun to be with. when we finally ended the evening, which was at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, driving walter to his hotel, we went past buckingham palace. then,

thanks, walter. walter: thanks, david.applause] >> coming up at 7:00, robert kurson talking about his book "pirate hunters" about the quest for the golden fleece that suck off the coast of the dominican republic in the 16 80's. it is part of an encore q and a on c-span2. this holiday weekend, book tv brings you three days of nonfiction books and authors. friday, back-to-back hearings of afterwards. , aei presidentrn arthur brooks discusses the conservative heart. >> the biggest mistake i think we make on the conservative side a lot, the one that tricked people of the most common is the one that should be the easiest, to get happy. >> 8:00 p.m., cornell west analyzes the life of martin luther king jr. in his book. >> martin understood that not just for christians, but for any aman being who wants to reach level of integrity, ice-t, and decency has a -- if to kill something in yourself, fear. kill your obsession with the status of wealth. >> followed by now :00 p.m. eastern, how faithful people can change politics. -- beyond

i respectfully think that walter is being too narrow. if you look at the cases, there are various forms of injury that have been recognized for standing. if you look at, for example, judge bates' decision in the myers' case, he said i'm looking for an institutional injury. he was actually talking about reins. in powell you had a member of congress that was actually coming forward and he was personally agrieved because he had been excluded from congress and that was viewed as an injury and you have in subpoena case as different type of injury which is an institutional injury. in coleman, you had 21 out of 40 kansas legislators who had recognized standing because they had an institutional sfatanding. this is part of the confusion that we see in this area. because there is a lack of clarity. but my point is only that i believe those other forms of injury are not being manifested of walter's analysis. >> again, you've been very generous, mr. chairman. i don't want to overstay my welcome. i appreciate your testimony. it's been very helpful. t

just focused on people with things to say. >> but i think walter makes a good. the internet itself was really the printing press, but it was the way i describe blogging finding one of the web's native. it was people in publishing. homepages, people spending magazines. this native form that only made sense on the web and take advantage of the fact that they're is -- you can publish many times a day. you can interact with the readers command anyone can do it. and then suddenly you have this knew form that took advantage of the network which was there for a few years before we really realized what we do with this thing. >> if i could add one of the things it does is makes it simple which is one of the themes of digital success. you success. you watch the alley hear and watch people doing things. those who those who can make something much simpler, and it starts with a videogame they take space wars this wonderful videogame created an mit and says we are going to make it simple. insert quarter, avoid klingon. that is how that is how simple it will be. steve jobs was

david, you're on with walter isaacson. >> caller: mr. am a new fan since i saw you on booktv the other day. if you'll indulge me for a moment, i'd like to make a quick comment to our friends in connecticut, scientists create technology social leaders and artists teach us what to do with the technology. >> guest: uh-huh. >> caller: i'd like to go on with my question. i feel much at least the last several millennia of human history have been about de-evolution of power from -- more to individuals. as we become more thoroughly interfaced with our technology, as we move toward becoming sigh borks, i guess how -- cyborgs i guess, how do we protect ourselves from losing our individual uniqueness in that process? >> guest: i think you answered your question in the very beginning of the statement which is it's the humanities and the arts that make us unique. one of the things about that alan turing movie, in the end he's a human. in the end, he has his own creativity. and so the end of the innovators, there's a chapter about this. i also did a l

walter: one of the things about the bush administration was they never claimed to be an expert on the middle east or iraq. and proved it. history has proven it.

>> i think walter's intent was that it look like masonry. he did not intend for this to be a modern structure. he intended it to be appropriate to the rest of the capital design. -- capitol design. because of the weight, it could not be built in masonry. walter had just finished the library of congress renovation. once it had been destroyed by fire, he went in with a fire crew to the interior structure, -- he went in with a fireproof interior structure, made of cast-iron. in building that, he proved the resilience and economy of cast- iron. you could make multiple pieces from a single mold. and was able to then create this dome without extensive cost, and aspectsugh light weight that it was possible. cracks -- >> much heavier wo od or a marble dome? >> it would not have been supported by the structure, so i think it was never calculated. the list to say, it would have been considerably higher than the 14 million pounds the dome and masonry additions were that was ultimately built. i think the point here is that the walls you are leaning agai

i went to walter walter reed tuesday. had these two little girls whose daddy was killed two years ago in afghanistan. his name was sergeant kevin balded. benjamin palmer was from cherry point, in my district. they were sent to afghanistan to train afghans to be policeman. the night before those two men were killed, kevin e-mailed his wife and says i don't trust them , i don't trust any of them. the next day, he and palmer were killed by the people they were trying to train. i had no idea that i was going to meet two of the four who were part of the group were a medic was shot in afghanistan and killed by the people they were trying to help. we need to have this debate. the military deserves it and the american taxpayer deserves it. host: al in tampa, florida. caller: i'm a disabled vet. i've been waiting nine years, two months and five days for my v.a. claim. my concern is, you don't know where anybody stands anymore. republicans or democrats, even their speeches about these wars. at least you can go and look at the votin

walters. he has stepped up to perform duties as acting undersecretary of memorial affairs after the retirement of undersecretary morrow. we look forward to hearing about his visions for overseeing the honorable mission at nca. secretary cleland, it is nice to hear you as well. the people with these organizations work day in and day out to honor veterans and serviceman with dignified burials and to assist families and loved ones who must deal with the lost and tremendous gray. our nation's solemn obligation is to honor those who have served does not cease at the end of their service, retirement, or ultimately upon their death and it is the responsibility of these organizations to see this commitment through. i would like to take a moment to note that today we will be -- today will be my last hearing as subcommittee chair and i'm extremely pleased that they's focus is on the tremendous work of these organizations. your commitment to these timeless on rings of the nation's veterans and the compas

i saw walter in india about a year ago, and walter brought that same combination of intellectual acuity and enthusiasm, which so much of have -- so much of us have come to appreciate through history. walter started out in advertising, something i found a little surprising. because walter has been focused from the beginning on how do you actually speak to audiences. not only telling the audience what you want the audience to know but how the audience and the way the audience wants to hear. and walter did something that i think very few people in the state department are able to do, not only did he sit down and put his thoughts into a document, a document which i hope you'll read and then he did what a lot of officer do is, then he went to the clearing process. that explains a little bit of why now that he's been in india for a year, he is back with us. i'm delighted to welcome him here. i'm delighted to hear some of the ideas he conveys in his presentation, and now look for to helping moderate the discussion with all of you and his linux. so ladies and gentlemen, walter douglas. [applaus

i'm not sure how walter gets to eight. i can't count up to eight. i can count up to eight but i don't count eight justices. he is certainly correct about justice scalia's position on legislative authority but i extend your question. but i disagree with some of the cases that tend to mind the line between article one and article two. >> thank you very much. part of the testimony this morning seemed to indicate prior congress's past law that really we should not stand behind or really had no inherent interest as an institution, and that would tend to say nor should the president have to follow what i believe was law. i came to congress, went to a small school in texas, southw t southwestern. the law of the land is what we have agreed in the oath of office that i take, that the president takes, the law, rule of law. please discuss this issue about maybe that was a couple congresses ago and maybe this president is not bound by the same set of laws. >> first of all, i disagree with walter's view that that was the 111th congress and you're a different con

walter: what about expulsions? mr. perry: that was about school leaders coming up with common suspensions. walter: so each school cannot have a separate policy? there is one board that approves expulsions? mr. perry: in generalmr. perry: that is the thinking. i think one thing that is misunderstood is that the politics of schooling in new orleans don't feel nearly so divisive to us. instead, it feels like republicans and democrats in baton rouge and romans in washington working together to try to find solutions. the most innovative thing about the solutions that have been found on other changes to schooling. we still have school buses, lunch, recess, we still of high school football. it is the changes to the lake government overseas schools. that has been the thing that looks the most different in new orleans. how role in government as regulators is so different. we don't tell principles which curriculum to take, who a higher, or how to spend their money. we guarantee equity. equity for all kids to all schools. equity

walters house and some neighboring houses. very high lead levels are being found. >> i understand the concept of a deal a lot with water that epa, the environmental quality, but it is set up as a checks and balances would you agree? >> epa has an oversight responsibility. >> would you agree mr. edwards? >> yes, i do. >> so something failed. there is another line that should come about. i'm going to go along the line of the pa. when did epa administrator mccarthy's first visit with flint about this crisis? >> i believe yesterday with mr. it was yesterday. >> it wasn't until yesterday that you visited for the first time. so the day before this hearing. said mr. mccarthy knew about this for eight months but didn't visit flint until the day before congressional hearing. >> i do not believe he knew about the crisis rate month. >> really? something as dynamic as this and you didn't relay that up the chain? >> i came into this job in november 2015 so i don't have personal knowledge. >> what is today? >> today is february 2016. i'm a

walters.hat we will now hear from mr. hallinan for his testimony. so you're recognized for five minutes. >> chairman runyan, ranking member titus, distinguished members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunities to provide an update on operation at arlington national cemetery. since my testimony to the subcommittee a year ago, we continue to build upon our tremendous progress. we are setting standards for best practices, becoming a center of excellence while working closely with our partner organizations that i'm honored to testify with today. i apprentices i have one of the most stringent accountable the processes of any national cemetery. we have leveraged cutting-edge technology to develop an integrated solution that uses additional interments system to rewrite website to build and provide real-time mapping and a common operational picture of activities at the cemetery. our internment services perform systematic backups, have begun identification, burial location checks. it provid

and now of course we've got the tragedy of walter scott. someone who was killed running away from a police officer after having been tazed. and it's not clear to me that it's a courageous -- that if a courageous bystander hadn't captured that incident on video the officer responsible for killing walter scott may be patroling the streets of south carolina today. what more does congress need to see to realize that we've got a problem that needs to be addressed? i'm thankful that several of my colleagues in government beginning with the assistant democratic leader, we've got a -- who's got a tremendous history of combating injustice before he got to congress and in his two decades plus of serving the people of south carolina in congress, let me now yield to the distinguished gentleman from the great state of south carolina assistant democratic leader, james clyburn. mr. clyburn: mr. speaker i request permission to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. clyburn: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank my f

walter was a remarkable scholar with the american constitutional order. a wonderful colleague and friend. there are a number of items on his life and we have the link there as well to walter burns.org which has [inaudible] he is quite a scholar and today's topic that we have talked about and have found supremely interesting we welcome you. >> thank you so much for being here. to explain this and thanks to all of you for being here as well. i'm grateful because i think the language of constitutionally appropriate is a lot more helpful to my side of the dispute than the legality because i think that in this issue of discussion on immigration, you are in an area where it's hard to bring the issue to so sharp of a point on the question of the written material of the loss to prove once and for all that this was illegal. i think it was very clear in what they have considered constitutionally inappropriate they have existed in many areas, particularly in this area and it is constitutionally inappropriate that is connected to a broader pattern particularly this o

you had a chance to talk to walter scott's brother. how did that discussion reality with the cell phone video. set up that story for us. >> sure. we talked sort of right after the murder charge came about. he told me about how he first saw the video, which he was at a vigil for his brother. and he said -- this is anthony scott, walter scott's brother, he said he never really bought the story as it was told to him originally. he did not think his brother would be one to confront a police officer, so he was sort of skeptical at that point, and he was approached by a man who said he had something to show him, and he pulled him aside and showed him the video that is now infamous. at first the man did not want to go public with the video. he hoped the police would tell the full story themselves. and then walter scott -- excuse me, anthony scott -- stayed in touch with him and he did release the video. that is sort of how he came to secure the video. but i think the interview it was, of course -- he was still shocked by what happened. as you

we spent christmas day at walter reed all day. the reason i mention that is that you have had the experience i have had -- walking into the room of a wounded warrior, with his or her family. now i always asked the same question -- talk to general dempsey about this, he has done the same -- as the same question -- what can i do for you, soldier? what can i do for you, soldier, murray, airmen -- marine, airman? and the answer i get almost every time a stunning. the answer i most often get is, mr. vice president, sir, can you get me back to my unit? i can help. jill and i usually host a warriors at our home as they prepare to united states of america in a competition in called the invictus games. and it struck me that there a more ot have been appropriate description of the determination and commitment in the character shown by all of veterans then these games referred to as the invictus games. the poet william ernest henry wrote a poem. stanza of that poem, it matters not how how charged ate, the punishment, i am the master of my fa

. >> thank you, walter and zoe, for creating this platform. before i get home and my wife yells at me i want to point out i am a strong supporter of hillary clinton. when i said president daniels -- it was in contrast to the primaries. this is one of the key issues this country faces; how do we more rapidly connect kids with the skills? not necessarily the knowledge but the skills they will need to succeed in life. i think skillful and what marco is working on is apprenticeship and i think that is a huge part of it. my son is in a public school are longer days but no homework. loves it. we have experiments like that all over the country. >> one thing that just strikes me is our own citizens and else i read, young americans are complacent about giving up the data. if you tell them we will give you ten cents that is fine. but we haven't thought about that enough. probably ought to be a matter of free choice but ought to make sure it is informed and i don't deal informed to know what the implications are when i let somebody look through my person

walter: you have a question? >> i wanted to follow-up on your comment that you do not want to over focus on stem. course isf well-established, everybody knows what we mean. but there is also now steam. and i wonder if the smithsonian and your emphasis on not over focusing on stem is going to be willing to push the idea of steam, using your considerable persuasive powers to make steam as well fixed in the american psyche as stem. know: it is terrible -- i quite a bit. it is alright. i am always concerned that we do not portray the artist in the humanities as handmaidens to the sciences. ifing something onto stem, you do not think about it very deeply, one might think, well, it is important have the arts because it order to complete thinking about some scientific thing you have to think about it conceptually or communicatively. there is also this value of perception that anyone can i get any other way. so i struggle, as silly as it sounds, i struggle with it is a good idea to have steam. i was very privileged to be

asrything that walter added this edge.rom the east and west front. -- happyee overhead columns are drainage columns and the other half are ventilation columns. it would have been very odd to leave that cantilevered condition exposed to view. ironwork that of makes that transition from the cantilevered skirt out to the rest of the roof of the capital. you can see the great condition that we have been able to achieve with the restoration at this point. the skirt has been completely restored. the ironwork was repaired and the new paint system was installed. we cleaned to that, and repainted the original bulfinch stonewall. masonry that is seven feet thick -- that is the foundation for the ironwork that extends above. these brackets -- we only see eight feet of them now very there is an additional seven feet that is embedded into the masonry work. that acts as a huge foundation that supports the weight of the dome and transfers it evenly onto the stone walls below. sense foret a good the brackets and cantilevered beyond the ol

thank you for that question, walter.t tackle the more conceptional question about basic research, and it was brought up earlier by some of the questions raised. we have this view of progress in science as being the sort of linear process where a mad scientist is sit being somewhere underground in a quiet dark room with a lot of sharpened pencils and things that bubble and steam and comes up with some observation about nature. and then that observation is shared with others, perhaps intellectual property is protected. and then it's handed off to the business world where a product or service is developed. and then it's marketed and there's progress. and a certain a chemount of ecoc development was based upon that model. >> they talked about the linear model where looking at, say, semi conducting material, science and eventually the transist transistor. >> here's hook on that. here's the rub. so if you take -- and i know you've done this, especially in "the innovators", which you can get on amazon, if you take something tha

he would say "and that's the way it is"&american's trusted that walter told them walter told them the way it is. he was followed by dan rather who was a 32-year-old reporter when kennedy was short. he was an assistant of cronkite for many years until he was the anchor in 1982. he moved to a modest closer saying, "that's a part of our world tonight." from this is london to that's the way it is to that's a part of our world tonight, these changes by cbs broadcasters seem to me to chart a retreat and appropriate retreat from claims of implicit acknowledgment that television news was at best partial, limited a part of the world tonight. a similar tone of honesty characterized tom bro ka's news. the 42-year-old ended each of his television broadcasts as nbc's anchor with the simple statement, "that's our news." only this is what nbc has done. long before brokaw, the nbc network contributed one important earlier element in development of what broadcast news actually was. in 1956, nbc pioneered the practice of a dual anchor. 45-year-old chad hutly of montana and the boyish 35-year-old david

former vice president walter mondale. [applause] throughout his public life, he stood up for the rights and dignity of all americans no matter how the political winds were blowing at the time. i want to thank you for your lasting contributions, for all of us here, it is quite a privilege to welcome you to this room named in your honor the mondale auditorium. [applause] finally let me thank all of you in the audience for your commitment to bring about a more open and fair housing market. you are partners in progress and help open new doors for families every single day. keep up the good work. this is why we gather today because we share a common belief that every american deserves opportunity regardless of what they look like, where they come from, or who they worship. and a common resolve to do something about it. we know that everybody wins when a family gets a chance at good housing, when a child gets a quality education, when a parent gets a good job and when the elderly have healthcare. and that's a fair america is a

walter talks about the veterans he talks of walter reed seen veterans at walter reed. i talked a better title. i've been to funeral after funeral after funeral and do not even the actively engaged in the discussion about what we are doing, i think it is a sad commentary on where congress is right now house of representatives thomas in harrisburg pennsylvania a democrat. you on with the "washington journal." >> caller: [inaudible] desperate on the afghanistan resolution, yes. >> caller: that's right. >> guest: and i voted afghanistan resolution because i thought it was appropriate to hold those responsible for 9/11 to account. what i didn't expect everything we all didn't expect was that resolution would be so broad and in its terms of interpretation we were still be in afghanistan again not by al-qaeda any more than we are now fighting the taliban and god knows who else, but i voted against the iraq resolution as well because i thought that that was a mistake. i didn't give the administration had made the case and i'm glad i voted against it. but i think the important

walter scott let's remember, what was walter scott's infraction and he had a car.it had three brakelights two of which were working. one of which was out okay? so by the letter of the law -- i spent time in the south carolina brakelight statute. by the letter of the law it was a legitimate stop because if you have a brakelight, you're supposed to have at least two -- one but if you have one and it's out, then that's a violation. the point is if there's a entire category of stops of policing, of contact between police, that might be legitimate, might be justifiable on the law but folks suspect and are probably right, are being driven by essentially a kind of cloud and racialized suspicion. >> most police officers don't dig into the minutiae of the law. the really good ones do. i used to do that. for example in dak it's illegal to play ball in an alley or street. play any game in the street with a ball or in an alley it's illegal, five dollar fine. tight 282 of the d.c. code. and i was working in an early and this was in 1998 that had aislingant amount of violence --

the four times fourth speaker is walter dillinger.he's a partner to -- best known as a former acting solicitor general during the clinton administration. i was always much more excited about the fact that he was the head of legal counsel where he wrestled in particular with more power issues that arose in the 1990s. he wrote some seminole opinions about the bosnian interventions and that belief among other things he was the most important voice in articulating the notion that there are interventions the all short of war in a custom channel since in terms of the nation duration of scope and some wars do not need prior national. vultures are graduates and former clerk to justice black and has talked -- taught at duke law school. walter what do you think a president, i'm sorry what should the congress do when confronted, let's stipulate that the present is gone too far. we have seen increasing trend of that one chamber congress filing lawsuits against this president. we have seen states recently jump into the courts. what do you make of

but in walter's case certainly. so just to put my cards on the table as frankly and tersely as walt put his, let me state six propositions some of which engage what walt said and some of which are as social scientists would say somewhat orthogonal to it but to establish parameters proposition number one is that the obama administration's action is consistent with the governing constitutional understanding of the appropriate role of the executive branch. this is not not a lecture. i am not going to go into detail except some.you to the lead case in this area which is headquartered in cheney. an opinion by justice rehnquist, and the chroma of that decision which i quote i quote is, this has recognized on several occasions over many years that an agency's decision not to prosecute or enforce whether through civil or criminal process is a decision generally committed to an agency's absolute discretion. does that mean that it is never reviewable? no. but it means, as the heckler court went on to say that there is a presu

and then i turned around and looked at walter and walter was smiling and he went - [laughter] i knew he knew now. >> we are, unfortunately almost out of time but before i ask you the last question, a couple of housekeeping matters -- i would like to. remind you of our upcoming speakers on november 5, we have rolled it on -- we have goldie hawn and then walt bettinger from charles schwab. i would like to present our guest with the traditional national press club coffee mug. [applause] >> thank you. [applause] >> and for the last question -- tell us, are there gay vulcans and if so, how do they socialize? [laughter] >> i can answer that. it's a changed world now. we have the new version of "star trek." the last two movies had younger actors playing our roles. the actor who plays spock, a vulcan, is played by zachary quinto who is gay. we have an out gay vulcan and he happens to be spock. [laughter] zachary is a real great guy and he's also a very serious actor. as you know, he was on "heroes," and i was mr. knocker mora -- nakamura, the father of hiro who has magical powers. zachary wa
