hoover. from up here, it may not be as easy to see. it is herbert hoover. think about it, the urals, who had some mining interests there before the war, all of those contacts were broken off. the rumors that hoover was there trying to revive business, which was nonsense. but hoover's image in that photo in particular shows up in many background offices. the reason i like that is the chief is there right above these tremendous totals. in fact, and this is what i will end with, researching the a.r.a. records -- and i started doing this in 1987, and so my image of herbert hoover was of the other herbert hoover. i kept thinking herbert hoover, the post-presidency. i did not have a strong sense of how hoover related to or how the people who worked under him related to him. reading the records, reading the private letters, the diaries of the americans who served, you get a sense of their ferocious feeling of loyalty toward hoover. they would follow him into any battle, right? hoover -- it is a word

those were hoover's words. it was a story, he feared, that was being lost to history. 100 years after the end of world war i, it sometimes seems that his fear has been realized. few americans today have more than a hazy awareness of the first world war. american of hoover's epic. in part, this is due to the understandable tendency of historians to focus on the wars terrible battles and tangled statecraft, not on the individuals like hoover, who eased the suffering of helpless noncombatants. moreover, in 1939, we have lost of the earlier conflict, for which hoover's role was so admired. if the conventions of historiography have dimmed our consciousness of the humanitarian response to the great war, our conference today provides a fitting opportunity for reappraisal. for the work of the convention any relief in belgium and its successors was more than a minor incident. it was a pioneering effort in global philanthropy, with long-term consequences for the western world. hoover's relief endeavors were among the for

hoover. as chairman of the american relief administration, the ara. told us, since 1919 the ara is a private relief organization, relief agency. but i would say really at least for this part of the hoover humanitarian story we should say it is because i private. private. quasi- hoover is the secretary of commerce, and that will play a role in the story as it spins out in the next few minutes. aftert summer of 1921, some very delicate negotiations, hoover's ara enters soviet russia to fight the great famine. in the end, millions would die in that famine. most soviet historians believe the figure is at least 6 million people would die in 1921, 1922. other estimates go as high as 10 million. these are deaths not from outright starvation. most people in a family die of hunger related disease. but many more, many millions, i should say, are saved by what the a.r.a. is about to undertake. in fact, we will do a flashforward. by the summer of 1922, american kitchens were feeding every day abouton a d

did hoover have something on johnson?but, i think it is pretty clear, that both hoover was an enormously popular political figure, in part because of his conservative political constituency, someone who could help johnson with the more conservative elements of the democratic party, and in part that hoover would serve many of the goals that johnson had for his own presidency. from 64 through 65, johnson more than any other president uses the fbi to support his own political agenda, to secure his own reelection, and to forward both his more conservative and his more liberal political goals. i'm happy to talk more about any of that in the q&a. but, in finishing up, i suppose i want to push back on a few of the concepts of the deep state at least as they apply to j edgar hoover, famously this unaccountable bureaucrat, i think that we cannot see the quote unquote deep state as developing outside of a broader state of development, the fbi's greatest moments of expansion were also the greatest moments of expansion of the liberal

first of all come he did not get along with j edgar hoover. roosevelt like hoover a lot. second, roosevelt said -- certain men are excellent in peace times but are not just the right stuff in war times. ok? i am going to finish my little talk here by talking about an example of attorneys advising the president. you know following 9/11, president bush decided he wanted to authorize torture as an ordinary investigative twill to ferret out -- tool to ferret out terrorists. he did so on legal advice from attorneys in the justice department. it was private and confidential legal advice. they counseled the president in a written memorandum -- you can do this, it is not a problem. even if there might be a problem with an act of congress, don't worry. under the constitution, you the president can override congress anytime you want to if it is for national security purposes. now, based upon jackson's career the president's advisors , just did not do the right things. apparently, they acted improperly because apparently they gave the president legal advice that was simply inaccurat
