with the invasion of afghanistan and the soviet union later innate administration the administration decided to withdraw from negotiations. since that time that has not been a serious entertainment of any arms limitations and space since that period of time. thank you. [applause] see a couple of those. we are going to do the q&a session at the very end of this program, so save your questions until the very end of the program and when the q&a session arrives, because we are saving this -- taping this for c-span, please make sure you state your name and your organization or affiliation. thank you. so next we have the reagan administration. the reagan administration was marked by the star wars program, arms control talks in the beginning of the space shuttle program and unfortunately the space shuttle challenger disaster. there were a few other events occurring as well, the bombing in beirut, the american embassy in beirut but a very lively area and to discuss the reagan administration we had mr. gil rye. he was also the executive secretary to the senior interagency group for space whic

first, the shuttle program after much debate in the carter administration, the administration decided the four orbiters and it would be the primary access to the states for the intelligence community as well as the department of defense. but it would need a primary access to face. the decision to enter the negotiations in the soviet union to ban the systems was a two-part decision. the first of course was to hopefully arrive at a agreement would place some limitations on the soviet capability and the second was to pursue the active research and development program in the event the negotiations were unsuccessful. the carter era the fenestration resulted in three presidential directives that were released in 1978, and a lot of the material as both of you were probably school than states policy are redacted but the fundamental aspect of the three policies were reflected in the national space policy at 37. 42 was the national policy and the civil operational was captured in tv 54. the national space policy directives established policies that would conduct activities of space, reaffirm th

-- administration in my opinion? first and foremost we defined a national security space rammer bets is sustained today. i think you could take a direct line from that because before cold war national security space policy and strategy and portman in portman afterwards was a post-cold war world. it must be protected and is we created a policy for commercial space commerce that is the same today. government supports, utilizes facilitates encourages and protects u.s. commercial space enterprise. the russians. we initiated cooperation with it was modest by the end of the bush ministry show and we had agreed for the shuttle mir program which was then in the works for about three years, but desert storm intervened and eventually before the president left signed with force yeltsin an agreement to fly a cosmonaut on the shuttle and put u.s. astronauts on the space station mir and that really opened up the opportunity for a lot of cooperation, very positive on the u.s. side. i want to talk just briefly about something that w

from carter administration all the way up to the obama administration. with -- this is the first of its kind. this event has not been done before, and good timing because this may be one of the last events c-span does because we all know the end of the world is tomorrow. a little bit about the space enterprise council. we advocate for the advancement of space commerce in the context of why space is an important economic and national security. wide is the important right now? with the budget environment that we have, space budgets are under attack, and we believe that space is so integral and important to our nation that this has to be our message. we bring this message out, not only to the inside the beltway crowd but also out side the beltway crowd as well as this audience. so it's my pleasure to introduce my cohost for today, jeff. jeff is the president of the schwartz marshall institute. the institute is one of the few players in washington, d.c., focusing on security issues and space exploration issues. so jeff, i want to hand over the mic to your. >

dms it -- administration decided. was a critical step in our strategy for achieving the president's goal. it happen sooner than we ever fought possible. it is thanks to the leadership of senators nelson and hutcheso. it is thanks to the leadership of senators nelson and hutcheson and others in the senate. much work lies ahead that history is being written but there is some exciting stuff happening today because of the work these gentlemen have done and what nasa is doing today. is really exciting progress in space. in the coming months nasa is poised to announce more details on the heavy lift rocket that will eventually take man further and faster into space to places we have gone before including asteroids and beyond the earth/moon drill. yesterday there is an alpha magnetic back from a we docked with the space station to unlock the biggest questions in science's search for dark matter and finally fulfilling the space station's goal as having a science component and turning it into a research lab orbiting 250 miles a

the administration. had its head screwed on it would have dealt with fox news and right wing media as an outgrowth of the republican party in a much different way than it had so then do you think it's one one could argue that if there's politics over at the justice department and the f.b.i. it's in their interest. to take what house politics is influencing the f.b.i. to really find something here but innocent until proven guilty we don't just throw quickly yes or no do you think that has anything to do with this f.b.i. investigation of news corp i don't think it does at this point because remember congressman peter king a republican from new york has been the one pushing for this he was the longest so i mean time will tell that should be investigated here to see if they're doing what they were doing in england it's completely correct for the f.b.i. to do it by politics but a roll down the way we don't know we will see we'll have you on to talk about it that was journalism professor jeff cohen thanks for

up next and it discusses the need formula of the obama administration to avoid using dawn time in the bay prison camp looks at other news ignored by the mainstream means you . welcome to the ilona show where you'll get the real headlines with none of the mersey are going to live in washington d.c. now tonight we'll talk about the somali man that's being brought to new york to be tried on terrorism charges and you'll never guess where he was held for two months while being interrogated well if you get another obama broken promises the white house makes plans to keep up to ten thousand troops in iraq after the withdrawal deadline at the end of this year and we'll see what it would cost us to adequately invest in green technology but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has missed. you know i thought that yesterday was ridiculous when the so-called knew it was going every over every single little detail of every single juror that was deliberating on casey anthony's case what happened after that verdict was read that's a really takes the cake i mean what do you do when a v

the administration asserted it would not require an act of war. three months later, these assertions ran hollow. military operations expanded to a campaign to drive moammar khaddafi from power. the administration is unable to justify the duration of the operations. it has grown from efforts to protect civilians under imminent threat to obliterating libya possible military arsenal, command-and-control structure, and leadership apparatus. most recently, the a demonstration has sought to avoid its obligation under the war powers resolution been making the incredible assertion that u.s. military operations in libya did not constitute hostilities. even some prominent supporters of the war have refused to accept this claim. the administration pause a description of the operation in libya underscores the fallacy of this position. u.s. warplanes have reportedly struck libya air defenses some 60 times since nato assumed the lead role in the liberal campaign. predator drones reportedly have fired missiles on 30 occasions. most significantly, the broader ran

reagan's administration, mr. bush first administration, mr. bush second administration and we ran up over -- i want the gentleman, i know he knows this, over $6 trillion of deficit during that period of time. however, in the eight years that mr. clinton was president of the united states we had a 62 -- $62.9 billion surplus. now the gentleman makes the point that spending is out of control. the fact is, as the gentleman clearly knows, that when you were in charge of the house and the presidency and the senate you increased spending by more than was increased during the clinton administration by a percentage on an annual basis. so that i'm glad to hear that your side now, without fail, talks about spending being out of control. as a matter of fact, i have a feeling if your side was spending five cents would you think that we would need to cut an additional five cents in revenues so that we could not pay the bills. because that's why we ran up $6 trillion in deficits. you did not pay for what you bought. i'm with those who strongly believe we ou

but it was an administration without an internet, an administration where newspapers articles and web sites did not have instant commentary by people so that reaction and reflection to her role as first lady was in the form of the united states mail. to the tune of approximately 9,000 letters a week asking questions from everything to how did you develop such nice posture to do you wear rollers to bed at night and what does your husband think of it and what kind of deodorant do you wear? this was the kind of scrutiny that faced jacqueline kennedy when she -- when they entered the white house. also the kind of financial accounting that is required of political candidates now did not happen then. now we have a -- an administration where we have a first lady who's every move, every day is under a microscope. what she walks off of air force one in tremendous heat to see the grand canyon and is wearing denim short, not short shorts, denim shorts that are basically the length that people are wearing skirts. sometimes we wish they would wear their skirts that long. it generated a furor. so i

so if you're the obama administration and you still want to capture people abroad interrogate them but you can't take them to guantanamo bay seeing it has your first order of business when you became president it was decided to have order to close it but what do you do apparently to scatter people and hold them interrogate them on navy vessels in international waters that's we've now learned after the obama administration announced yesterday they'll be prosecuting a somali man accused of having ties to al shabaab and al qaeda in civilian court in new york that a bill could hear what are some eight was captured on april nineteenth he was held on a navy vessel for two months where he was interrogated heavily without being right in iran to warning and reportedly those sessions were very very productive then after a short break from interrogation a separate group of law enforcement terry gaiters came in and then delivered a miranda warning after which are some he continued to cooperate and give more statements so this raises a lot of new questions about the administration's take on civilia

bush and other senior administration officials of bush's now this is something that human rights watch is asking obama to do so laura petter counterterrorism adviser for human rights watch is she disappointed with obama she was in our new york studio to answer that i first asked her though you know bush hasn't been in office for a while it's been over two years what is human rights watch done recently aside from issue this report to promote a point of view that bush has committed crimes that obama should investigate him for which is that. it calls on the criminal inquiry and investigation into. the use of torture by senior level bush administration officials specifically george bush vice president dick cheney secretary of defense don rumsfeld and george tenet head of the cia and it documents a lot of the evidence that is was an involved a lot of the things that that the bush administration did in relation to its cia detention program and the rendition of suspects to other countries along with what happened to the detainees during the time that they were in both cia and military custody

the gentleman from alabama blamed the obama administration. i feel like humphrey bogart, when it comes to fannie mae and freddie mac, republicans cannot proceed without obama. why have we not seen that? because of obama will not let them do it. a recent entertainment and elegy was wilson, in which the republicans of the house are geraldine annika obama is the devil. the chairman said that he was asked by the obama administration to wait. i have checked with the administration. he misunderstood them. no one in the obama toinistration has passeasked hm wait. i have a role that i try to fall myself. no matter how tight the quarter you are in, avoid saying something no one will believe. the notion that they are not acting on fannie and freddie -- esther garrett said it was not a simple problem. the republicans in the house have a bill opposed by everybody who is dealing with the housing market. that collection of radicals, all disagree with the plan, all think you have to have a more comprehensive approach. the republicans have this problem, their

program shared by administration. this is about three hours. >> good morning everyone. everye an author's a of major space policy. this is the first event of its kind. it has not been done before. it is good timing. it may be the last one c-span does. the end of the world this tomorrow. a little bit about the space enterprise council. we advocate for the advancement of the space commerce in the context of why space is important to economic and national security. " with the budget and barn to have, space budgets are under attack. we believe that's boys -- space is so important to our nation that this has to be our message. we bring that message not only to the inside the beltway crowd but also the outside bid beltway crowd. it is my pleasure to introduce my co-host for the day. jeff is the president of the george marshall institute. the institute is one of the leading players in washington focusing on space exploration. i want to hand over the microphone to you. >> thank you, david. thank you for posting this even toda

bush and other senior administration officials now this is something that human rights watch is asking him to do so is laura pitter she's a counterterrorism adviser from human rights watch disappointed well she was in our new york studio earlier to answer that but i first asked her with bush not being in office for a while it's been more than two years what is human rights watch done recently aside from is issue this most recent report to promote their point of view that obama should investigate bush. well this more than a press release is actually one hundred seven page report that builds on our past reporting and also combined with a lot of the information that that has been me made publicly available since our earlier report and yes it calls on the criminal inquiry an investigation into. the use of torture vice senior level bush administration officials specifically george bush vice president dick cheney secretary of defense don rumsfeld and george tenet head of the cia and it documents a lot of the evidence that was in involves a lot of the things that that the bush administration

now it is managed again by the city administrator's office. >> so the city administrators of this is ultimately responsible. we look forward to getting that information. what is the end date projected? it is not clear from this report. this young, if you want to answer that, that would be great. >> i do not have a clear date. i am trying to get through phase one. i am sorry. i literally inherited this project. i would tell you what i know. we know the case management systems at individual departments have been funded. we are working with them to connect to the hub. my plan for this fiscal year is to get as many of the departments, including the police department, on board. once that phase is over, i see it at the end of the project. the program, which is different from the project, certain operational functions that have to continue. maintaining the hub, mainframe, we will always have a few staff around to do that. >> so how do you intend on making sure the project gets done? >> part of the resources, originally intended to have eight staff people. when we inherited the project, it o

this administration and folks close to this administration, and this is hard to believe. they have said that you want 1,900 construction jobs and you want to create 1,900 jobs in western kansas to grow your ability to produce american electricity and you know what the answer is from this administration? you know what the answer is from environmental groups? they say, no, we don't want your jobs. we don't want 1,900 jobs in western kansas. i have rural communities all across western western kansas. they depend on this power. if they don't have more electricity we'll begin to see brownouts in less than a decade in a rural area. and we're trying to grow our production of energy. of coal-fired electrical power. and this administration says no, we're going to stop you. the e.p.a. says, no, we're going to stop you with degree de-regulations. it's death by lit fwation. that's not only stopping our power plants but power plants all across the country. it's hard to understand. i talked to my constituents, they said, why can't we we have more electricity? who is opposed to this? wh

-- tim geithner wants out of the administration.se reports, i was like wait he's still there? >> i think he's close to the president. close in age they've always said to have a been. interesting who he will choose next. i think obama would like to choose the guy with the question marks who does the commercials, the free money guy. i think it would be wise to choose a businessman. he has none in the administration. >> i made some calls. this is more of an idea than a plan for him to leave right now. i think he's talking off the top of his head when he said this, this afternoon. like you said, these are difficult jobs. this is probably the most difficult in washington now given the state of the economy. he is under a lot of pressure. he's got kids who arein school. it is still too early to tell if he is going to leave before the end of the first term. i would bet he doesn't. >> mary if he decides to go he is going to join this long conga line of obama economic advisers. summers, romer, orszag and goolsbee. >> and they all back to thei

so for some regional administration has to take care for the locality administration. so this is mainly a guideline that has to support local administrations in their work. and why do local administrations need this? because there is a regional regulation that says that all our local authorities need to have a local mobility plan. i heard this morning about a problem like neighbors complaining when things have to be changed and the whole debate that is coming up then. but i think we have it similar because it's our local mayors who sometimes are hesitating to put into practice -- that's one of the reasons why those cycling routes sometimes get stuck, because you have a regional cycling route, but local authorities, we have 19 in brussels, local authorities do have to give permits for that. there is a lot of criticism on that and i heard my dutch colleague say one hour ago, you can get stuck because at local levels people don't like it, although your regional plan is to be so good. that's true. on the other hand, i think that it's a good democratic process to really to

and neither does the administration, nor -- neither the administration nor the fsoc has told us. maybe the date is august 15. i don't know. and neither the administration nor the fsoc has told us. i don't know. the american people don't know. and this is unacceptable. wall street firms have recently put out their own projections and they say august 2 may not be relevant at all. maybe it will be august 8 when treasury runs into a cash flow problem. maybe it will be august 13. does treasury still believe august 2 is the date when cash flow problems are most likely to arrive given new information on government receipts since early may? if not, we need to know. and we need to know how that assessment has been made. if so, then why is treasury not telling us and showing us why? my letter to fsoc members which includes the treasury secretary, includes a simple request for updated information about treasury cash flows and liquid assets. i might add that the treasury secretary knows that i've supported him. that i care for him. i don't agree with him but we didn't win the election. presi

this is where the administration is going to be tested. if they start doing the chicken little thing by not paying social security recipients or people in our military or interest on our debt and instead choose to cut the things that will hurt the most but not the things that they could cut responsibly, that's going to be the test that they're not serious. >> ken, she's talking about a test. is this a logical test? if you strongly believe that spending needs to be cut or taxes need to be raised or somehow the budget needs to be dealt with, is this the way to keep the administration's feet to the fire? >> i think this is nuts.

she did not prove herself a good administrator. she put some people at jobs that seemed rather strange, such as teaching dancing in air raid shelters. the press laughed her out of that job, but she never really took responsibility for the fact that she had made some mistakes. in her my day column, she said after she resigned, people can gradually be brought to understand that an individual even if she is a president's wife may have independent views and must be allowed the expression of opinion, but actual participation in the work of the government, we are not yet able to accept. and, in fact, several times she was asked, particularly in her later years if she was interested in being president and she said, no, that she didn't think the country was ready for a woman president. well, it seems to have taken us for a long time to get to the point where we might be. okay. i'm going to move carefully, quickly here because we want time to talk among ourselves but i'll show you the other slides that shows her transforming the role of the

reagan's administration, mr. bush first administration, mr. bush second administration and we ran up over -- i want the gentleman, i know he knows this, over $6 trillion of deficit during that period of time. however, in the eight years that mr. clinton was president of the united states we had a 62 -- $62.9 billion surplus. now the gentleman makes the point that spending is out of control. the fact is, as the gentleman clearly knows, that when you were in charge of the house and the presidency and the senate you increased spending by more than was increased during the clinton administration by a percentage on an annual basis. so that i'm glad to hear that your side now, without fail, talks about spending being out of control. as a matter of fact, i have a feeling if your side was spending five cents would you think that we would need to cut an additional five cents in revenues so that we could not pay the bills. because that's why we ran up $6 trillion in deficits. you did not pay for what you bought. i'm with those who strongly believe we ou

first, we will hear from linda young from the city administrator's office. she will be followed by eileen hurst, the justis co- chair. i also know that we have representatives from the police department, d.a.'s office, and superior courts to answer questions. ms. young, please make your presentation. >> thank you for this opportunity to be before you today. i am the deputy city administrator. i ago a lot of the comments that the supervisors book about. this is an important project for the citizens to save lives. when this project was moved over, we convened a government council, and that that with each member of those departments. they are here in the audience. i want to acknowledge the team behind you, who is committed to moving this project forward. it is the city it this triggers office including the acting city it minister, the sheriff's department, the court + executive officer is with us, the district attorney, adult probation public defender's office, department of status of women, police department, and the part of technology are here to answer any q

the administration includes the colonies top brass and even the priest of the local church. they will consider whether andre often has mended his ways and is ready to be his own master. the colonies chief warden is the commission chairman he poses very awkward questions to the inmate. so your parents will give you a flak and you wife will help you find a job without you when you go to do something on your own as soon as i was i think it's time we began providing feel parents and wife. the court will make the final decision on whether or not under a will be set free colonies administration concedes that inmates are fully aware of their rights and take a firm stand to defend them. we need to build dozens of new prisons we have to install modern equipment to beef up security and we are and we also have to iron out how sentences ought to be served as to be more pragmatic more qualified immunity for the border. we have to reduce the enormous number of prisons in our system as well. it is a unique colony for women in the urals but also houses they young children although convicted

for continuing all of those actions they criticize the bush administration for but we interviewed jeremy on this program last week but for some reason none of the big networks and i literally made it not a single one of them decided to give the story any play but then suddenly suddenly today the l a times came out with some groundbreaking information that new american intelligence raises concerns about a widening alliance of islamic terrorist groups plotting to target the u.s. and you know where that alliance is yemen and somalia and you know how they found out some of that information well according to the l a times it was learned when somali all thora these allow the cia to interview shabaab militants imprisoned in mogadishu now this is all according to anonymous u.s. officials of course but it's not odd that first the story is completely ignored and now the l a times is reporting on it from anonymous u.s. officials and they don't bother to ask why somalia authorities would be so kind as to let the cia interview their prisoners they don't bother to connect the dots ask of maybe that's

it will continue to thrive in this administration and in administrations to come. i want to continue working with the agency to make significant strides in existing businesses and attracting new businesses to the community. to date, 16 projects have been completed, one of which to highlight is the dollar store. one project is currently in construction, and an additional 10 projects are being faced for design and construction. the redevelopment agency was able to secure additional funding that will assist another three to seven businesses in the coming fiscal year along the third street corridor. as for workforce opportunities, i am proud to announce that as you already know, fresh and easy grocery store will be opening their second san francisco store in the bayview in august 24 of this year. the office of economic and workforce development negotiated with them a first source hiring agreement that obligated the store to hire 50% of its employees from the 94124 zip code, including 15 permanent employees for the store as well as 20 temporary employees to assist in th

but if the administration was hoping for a big thank you from business leaders, they may be in for a very long wait. wait. speaking to investors on a conference call, this week, casino mogul and democrat donor, steve wynn went on a rant it against president obama and his economic policies. here is just some of what he had to say. >> i'm saying it bluntly, that this is administration is the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime. and i'm telling you, that the business community in this country, is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the president of the united states. and until he's gone, everybody's going to be sitting on their thumbs. >> you have to admit fairly strong stuff. steve moore, do you think that sentiment, harsh as it was, is widespread in the executive suite? >> you know, i think that steve wynn is likely to be subject to an irs audit sometime very soon after that, because when you go after the white house they come after you. this was a courageous thing for steve wynn to say to speak out and say what a lot of c

and the administration -- and the administration continues to do this. the house passed legislation, putting the gulf of mexico back to work act this legislation we passed here in the house with a bipartisan vote, sent to the senate, they haven't taken action in the senate but what this did, amongst other things, is address that problem. instead of this administration is going to tell responsible companies who are trying to go back to work, who are trying to do the right thing if the administration is going to tell them they're not allowed to play by their own rules, then the clock stops while the administration denies them the ability to be permitted. and so the legislation that we passed addressed this but the senate, for whatever reason, refuses to take it up, gep, costing our country thousands of good, high-paying jobs, and hurting america's energy security, making us more dependent on middle eastern oil. what we're saying with this amendment is, if the administration wants to continue going forward with a radical policy which a majority of the presi
