that's why we have come to the national archives, the sacred home of our national memory.this great chamber, we preserve our glorious inheritance: the declaration of independence, the constitution, the bill of rights. on this very day in 1787, our founding fathers signed the constitution at independence hall in philadelphia. it was the fulfillment of a thousand years of western civilization. our constitution was the product of centuries of tradition, wisdom, and experience. no political document has done more to advance the human condition or propel the engine of progress. yet, as we gather this afternoon, a radical movement is attempting to demolish this treasured and precious inheritance. we can't let that happen.

likewise, this image comes from the archives in missouri and the title that the archives gave this image is portrait of a well dressed woman believed to be a house servant. so i'm going to pause for a second and ask you to look at the picture carefully and ask yourselves is this a woman who defined herself as somebody's servant? no. right? it so clearly is not. here is a woman that has gone to the studio, put on her best clothing, worn her best gold jewelry, picked this gauzy, romantic background to stand in front of. her sense of self bears no relation to the title that her image was given when it was archived, when it was saved. and i think for all of us who do research with sources, who go into the libraries, going into the archives that that's a question we need to ask ourselves, right? who has titled this document? who has named this person? so with that in mind i want to end with a couple of family portraits. this is a portrait from montana of a woman named emma smith. we know in montana african-american photographers, somewhat oddly, proliferated during the late 19th and early 20t

archive: no praise is too high for these fine men who are doing so much for the empire... when britain went into the war, it was an imperial endeavour, and the imagination was that everybody around the empire would come to help and to serve and save the motherland. from december 1941, the conflict came closer to india, as japanese offensives threatened british strongholds in asia. shahid was ordered to burma. his ship arrived in rangoon in the middle of an air strike. it was the first of many searing experiences which have been pieced together by my uncle. when the japanese surrounded rangoon, they blocked the road, and he writes that there was a column of over 40 miles long. where is the water coming from? where is the food coming from? what is happening to the injured? the plight of the civilians is terrible. he said that the stage came where they were offering a fistful of rupees for a fistful of rice. burma was about to fall, and he was living through a perilous time.

in fact the national archives have two terminals in the entire agency. it does not have the experience and focus on protecting sources and methods but something the oh dni's highlighted test in 2018. and for some reason i would think oh dni would want to take on the leadership role so it does have a good way of protecting methods in doing that. unlike the dni the director does not have the same stature ability for those agencies as a mention on those policies. probably in conflict with their main oversight commission. we've had discussions with archive leaders, historians, researchers, civil societies, organizations, records managers and other agencies pay fromch the national archives is not the appropriate organization to serve as executive agent or to lead the reform of classification/declassification. we have tried have discussions of this with the folks at the wioh dni's office and we have not been successful to date. we are open to more discussions with them on that. all the things i mentioned, though dni does hamper it i'm not o aware of other agen
