so, charlene, bring us out. >> okay. i'm going to talk mainly about how we got to this point to the 22 volumes and it has to do with a lot of support from others. we were very committed to the project, sometimes i thought i needed to be committed, but we worked hard to keep the place operational. and first, today, i want to say thanks to cokie who has a history with this project. cokie's mother, the wonderful congresswoman lindy boggs was a huge supporter of our project. i always loved picking up the phone and having her say hello, darling. this is lindy. she searched on our advisory board, she was responsible for getting us a special congressional appropriation for the founding era projects during the bicentennial period. and she just was a joy to work with and know. just a very special part of working for the first congress. >> she felt the same way about working with the project. she just loved it. >> yes. anyway, we want to talk a little about the structure of what we did. we started with the journals. the basic thin

charlene, you are an inspiration and you are a hero to all of us. [applause] [applause] >> there are a number of ways to intervene in the fight against crime, providing more behavioral health services in new mexico than at any point in state history, restricting the use of distribution of narcotics and medication, confronting tourists in our schools and through and wi efforts, driven alcohol-related fatalities on our highways to historic lows. these are all important efforts, but the question remains. will we make new mexico a very risky place for criminals to commit crimes? or will we continue to develop a reputation as a state where crime is worth the gamble? where police departments are shortstaffed, serious offenders are released from jail prior to trial and punishments are weak? crime is costly. it inhibits economic growth and i have seen firsthand how it destroys the lives of its victims, their families, witnesses and perpetrators alike. we are not helpless. this does not have to be the norm and those who say the answer is too complicated have

[applause] charlene can tell you a little bit more she likes. going down to it being interviewed by the fbi in north carolina, but i can assure you when i go to raleigh to the archives they roll the red carpet out. thank you very much. >> that's great. [applause] >> taking all these documents, i must say the letter about the depressed wife, john marshall when he was in france, wrote to his wife who had ten children in virginia and said she had to stop being depressed because it made him sad. [laughter] these documents are fabulous and they are so able to tell a story, but not everybody is going to sit and read 22 volumes. we are lucky that they took the information and wrote it into a very readable narrative, the first congress, how james patterson, george washington, and a group of extraordinary man invented the government. he is again, a very distinguished historian and author. let's hear from him rather than about him, and let's hear about the book. >> all right, so, this book, the first congress, this book couldn't have been written without

and that's when charlene's talking about going up ahead. we also have letters that were discovered in the civil war by union soldiers and published in their home town papers like "the indianapolis star" in the 1860s. manuscripts don't exist. >> go ahead. >> hi. good afternoon. i'm jonah estes, a student at american university. my question is for kath bowling. you mentioned several times that the first congress was the most productive congress perhaps in american history. i am curious as to what you meant by most productive? >> i think that was actually furges who said that. >> i wanted to know what you meant by most productive and in what sense? >> constitution is bare bones. it was written by politicians that wanted their work ratified. they couldn't make the hardball decisions or it would have been defeated. they left those for congress. the first session of the first federal congress created the executive branch, the judicial branch. it adopted the first federal incomes, taxes, tariffs. it created a system to collect that money. later se

so user-friendly, i can't express enough thanks to ken, charlene and the others for that. thanks. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> i do think what's so interesting is how you do make them come alive. you always think of the founders as these bronze and marble deities. one of the great joys of writing women's historyy the women did not see them that way. i'm sort of sorry you have the word "extraordinary" in the title because your quotation says it takes way from them to see them as demigods. it's much harder for people to do what they did. for ordinary men and women to do what they did with the founding of the country is much harder than for a bronze statute to do. i love the fact you made them so lively. >> ted has done something that is the great deal. you could write about almost any debate in this first congress and have a book, whether it's the bank, where to put the city or creating the superiority, a currency, think of all the things they did. of course they didn't want a bill of rights, they had just gone through a horrible campaign process. and he tried to defeat him

charlene, you are an inspiration. and you are a hero to all of us.
