, or national cyber director. then i kind of came around a little bit saying one thing i was concerned about, that things were starting to work within the department of defense. we were actually having movement forward, getting things done and i was concerned we not create any silos and am happy to hear all of you indicate the same. it is not the intention and legislation should not be there to create that. but there is clear evidence that the congress has in the past asked for senate approved members to advise the president or to participate in the executive branch and i thought i'd take a minute to make that point here. examples of such positions that currently exist that congress has put into law. top leaders of the office of management and budget. the director, the deputy drecter, the deputy director foremanagement. the controller, office of federal financial management, omb. administrator office of information and regulatory affairs omb. administrator office of federal procurement policy omb. director of offi

but along came the national depression, which caused the business to fail.t is to the everlasting credit of harry s. truman that he slaved for 15 years to pay back very dollar that was owed. his former partner, who still owns the store, and the president are still the best of friends. today, as through the intervening years during which harry s. truman has struggled and risen to his high position in national and world affairs, the big frame house in independence, missouri, has continued to be home. it is now called the summer white house and he returns at every opportunity which his residential duties permit. harry s. truman is fundamentally an average american. not rich, but not poor. not sophisticated, but far from naïve. an early riser and a hard worker, and very much a family man. having lunch with his family on the backyard lawn of his rural summer white house in independence is symbolic of the democratic principles which motivate the life of this leader of the people of the united states. the family is equally npretentious and american. to the presiden

and those ideals have to defined our nation.s democratic national convention. instead, democrats spent four attacking america. joe biden said that we were living through a season of darkness, but as president trump said, where joe biden sees we seen darkness, american greatness.

[applause] further, allow me to say a word to families and communities in the path of hurricane laura. my prayers are with you tonight. and our administration is working closely with the authorities in the states that will be impacted. fema has mobilized resources for those in harm's way. this is a serious storm, and we urge all of those in the affected areas to heat state and local authorities. stay safe, and know that we will be with you every step of

i seek to lead a great nation.hubert humphrey: and either we achieve true justice in our land or we shall doom ourselves to a terrible exhaustion of body and spirit. i base my entire candidacy on the belief which comes from the very depths of my soul, which comes from basic religious conviction that the american people will stand up, that they will stand up for justice and fair play, and that they will respond to the call of one citizenship, one citizenship open to all for all americans. [applause] hubert humphrey: the american presidency is a great and powerful office, but it is not all powerful. it depends, most of all, upon the will and the faith and the dedication and the wisdom of the american people. [applause] hubert humphrey: and i know, as you know, there is an essential strength in the american people. and tonight, i call you, i call you, the american people, not to be of one mind, but to be of one spirit. i call you, the american people, not to a life of false security, false promises and ease, but to a

that is what is governing our new nation, and continues to govern our new nation, even when we have 22 states before jefferson passes away. generally, throughout our country, it is the white male beholder, freeholder meeting someone who owns outright his property, who has the vote, who has the say. look at our history and you see that the fitting of states, and this is a result of the finds oneordinance, from the north and the next one is going to come from the south, and then after that, one from the north and the next from the south, and this can until we have a question we have to grapple with, admitting north of massachusetts, known as the that fallsmissouri, distinctly in the west read how do we balance this, who is going to provide the answer? the white male freeholder, compromising, kicking the can. and that is when we begin this conversation. jefferson wrote to one of the first two senators in maine, i think jonathan holmes, this could be a fire bell in the night it could call the now of theunion -- it could call ofit could call the knell our union and i think i creator i will
