the same is true with my predecessor, dig baker. -- dick baker. senator byrd was unique in the senate. he never got a college degree. he went to law school as a senator at night. the american university law school recognized the service in the senate as an equivalent of a college degree. he went on to get his law degree, and he had president kennedy come to present his diploma at his graduation. but i thought here he was in a body full of rhodes scholars and yale and stanford and harvard graduates and all of the ivy leaguers with terrific education. he never felt inferior about that. he felt that he never ended his education. he was always reading, he was always studying. i once went to him at -- whence with him at an event and i looked at the back of his car and it was the count of month cristo, and i was surprised and he said i never got to read it. irma byrd complained she could never dust her table because she was bringing books home from the library of congress always stacked up and he was working on them. in 1980 he gave an impromptu speech

senator baker. we come this evening in this stately and formal old senate chamber, our convocation has the light spirit of a family reunion. it's a thrill to me to see the way our colleagues react to senator baker on both sides of the aisle. and even some that could not be here tonight made a special point of coming by to speak to senator baker. tonight we welcome a second in the series of leaders lecture series. we are hoping this will be something we can continue throughout this year with senator byrd being our invited speaker in september and in to next year. uh i this this is a part of our family and i'm delighted the american public is the joining us this evening through public television. they'll hear this outstanding gentleman who will give us a great deal of the wisdom and much wit. i hope they sense the enormous affection of our speaker tonight that's almost palpable in this room. i wish they could see the display of photographs in the corridor outside of this chamber for our speaker is as

senator baker had to face senator byrd. he said, he went up to senator byrd the other day and said, i'm going to make a deal. i won't surprise you if you don't surprise me. byrd said let me think about that. at the end of the day, byrd came back and said, i agree. that was the working relationship. they did not blind side each other. that kind of cooperation helped make the senate work. even when they were fighting they did it i the rules and they respected each other as colleagues. >> donald richie, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> at about 20 minutes, we continue our look at the v

a lot of history in that suite of rooms were senator baker served. his official biography list honors and accolades positions won and positions awarded, but those details don't reveal the more important aspects of his career. how, for example, he became the first popularly elected republican senator from tennessee with bipartisan support, a pattern that continued throughout his years in congress. i was a student of the university of mississippi law school. i had seen republicans before in my life. it was the first one i had seen win an election. it had an impact on me. howie handled the crisis of 1974 and nudged it towards a resolution. my own freshman service on the house judiciary committee at that time was one of the most difficult times i've ever experienced in at least my political life. i can appreciate how difficult the task was for senator baker at the time. is nothing any political science text book that explains the unique way he led the senate. those who were part of it remember. i've had occasion to talk with our senior colleague, my seni

the main room is now known as the howard baker room. >> bob dole was a fighting partisan. he was the person who could debate ferociously. and in the senate, that's really fighting partisan turned into a wisecracking thing. the man who realized things didn't happen often in the senate because they were ramrodded through, they happened because they were negotiated through. and you had to find co-sponsors and colleagues on both sides of the aisle. senator dole was the kind of person who could sit in a chair with a yellow legal pad and with a bunch of senators standing around it working out the effects of the amendments, of the unanimous consent agreement that we get them through the hurdles that's going on. and i think he was leader on two occasions, first in 1985, and sixth in the majority leader for a number of years and he came back as a majority leader in 1995 and 1996. all of those occasions, he was the person to work out difficult situations. he had a great sense of humor. he liked the history of the senate. he would give the minutes and by the by centennial, he publish

it is curious that you left law to be a baker. that is so much people's usual -- they want to be a tv chef or a baker. how did you manage to make the transition? >> a lot of help support, blood sweat and tears. it took a lot of time. i thought it would take three months. it took 18-20 months. >> why being a baker? >> i get a lot of questions. people say you look like a rock star or a wrapper, because i had dreadlocks back then. i love food. i love putting things together. when i was busy developing a hobby, which this was at first. it was a new year's resolution in 1999. i wanted to understand how to bake different things. it reminds be a lot of models i used to make when i was a little more. lots of meticulous work, ours by yourself. i love that when you can't share that in a way with people. no one really understood how much i just got into them. with the cake, you can slice it, serve it, people can understand a lot easier and they are excited to. >> i can't resist interrupting. the origins of friends a street -- of french pastr

, and his lovely wife, nancy kassebaum-baker. you honor me by coming here tonight, howard and nancy, and i deeply appreciate it. [applause] i had seen mike mansfield some days ago and he indicated that he was coming; is he here tonight? very well, perhaps he could not make it. i'm glad, also, to see in our midst one of the rocks of gibraltar -- there are only two--the real rock and strom thurmond. [laughter] [applause] he is the only remaining senator with whom i took the oath of office when i first came here. i'm greatly flattered by the presence of so many of my peers. and i can say something good about every one of you because i know something good about you. clio being my favorite muse, let me begin this evening with a look backward over the well-traveled road of history. history always turns our faces backward, and this is as it should be, so that we might be better informed and prepared to exercise wisdom in dealing with future events. "to be ignorant of what happened before you were born," said cicero, "is to remain always

it took 18 to 20 months or so. >> why be a baker? being a tall, strapping, heterosexual man --i hate to stereotype. >> i had people say you look like a rock star, a rapper, or something like that. i had dreadlocks back there. i love food and i love putting things together. when i was busy developing a hobby, which this was at first the new year's resolution in 1999 -- i just kind of found myself wanting to understand how to bake and how to bake all kinds of different things. i realized it reminds me of a lot of models i make when i was a little boy. i used to make military miniatures of tanks and soldiers , lots of continuous work, ours by yourself. i love that, but you can shut -- you cannot share that with people. nobody understood how much i got into them. with a cake, you can slice it serve it, and people can understand a lot easier. i>> i cannot resist interrupting. the origins of french pastry are from a man who was an architect. so the first book widely followed by pastry chefs was designed and written by an architect. so you

but one worker at this local baker did not.ork and was already known to police for early convictions of indecent exposure. he didn't want any further involvement with the police so he persuaded coworker ian kelly the take the blood test for him. kelly lived out of the area and wasn't asked to take the test him. he was the perfect foil. >> pitchfork spun a yarn that he had already given blood on behalf of somebody else that couldn't go because he was wanted by the police, et cetera. and kelly swallowed it hook, line and zinger. >> since police required identification before giving a blood sample, kelly needed some photographic proof that he was colin pitchfork. they both went down to a photo booth and took a passport picture. they slipped the plastic casing with the razor blade and neatly inserted kelly's photo in its place. ian kelly took the blood test for colin pitchfork. of the 5,000 men who gave the blood and thus samples, none matched the profile. but no one could anticipate what would happen next. on a summer's evening on

and the room the main room is known as the howard baker room. >> bob dole?tor bob dole came up from the house of representatives as a fighting partisan. he had been a chairman of his party. he was the kind of person who could really debate ferociously and in the senate there is really fighting, fighting partisans turned into a wise pragmatist. the man who realized that things didn't happen often because in the senate because they were ramrodded through. they happened because they were negotiated through. and that you had to find cosponsors and colleagues on both sides of the aisle. senator dole was the kind of person who could sit in a chair with a yellow legal pad and with a bunch of senators standing around him working out text of amendments or you unanimous consent agreement that would gut them through the hurdle that was going on. he was leader on two occasions. first in 1985 and '86. then he was minority leader for a number of years and came back as majority leader in 1995 and '96. and in all of those occasions in the majority and in the minority he was

the same is true with my predecessor, dig baker. -- dick baker. senator byrd was unique in the senate. he never got a college degree. he went to law school as a senator at night. the american university law school recognized the service in the senate as an equivalent of a college degree. he went on to get his law degree, and he had president kennedy come to present his diploma at his graduation. but i thought here he was in a body full of rhodes scholars and yale and stanford and harvard graduates and all of the ivy leaguers with terrific education. he never felt inferior about that. he felt that he never ended his education. he was always reading, he was always studying. i once went with him to an event, and i looked at the back of his car and there was "the count of month cristo," and i was surprised, and he said, i never got to read it. irma byrd complained she could never dust her table because she was bringing books home from the library of congress always stacked up and he was working on them. in 1980 he gave an impromptu speech at his grand

but senator baker's high was 54, and mine was 53. the last time there were 55 republican senators was in 1929, which is pretty impressive considering there were only 48 states. [laughter] and strom was then a democrat. age may not bestow wisdom, but as some of us know, it carries certain privileges. among them the right to remember and perhaps distill whatever perspective comes with experience. there are countless memories wrapped up in nearly 10,000 days i served in the united states senate. 10,000 days. i'm not going to speak about each one of them because i know we have limited time. but i would like to pick out a few that stand out. as i tried to whittle it down, it was difficult. but like all of you here, i remember the day i took the oath of office and signed the book is senators have done before and since. it was january 3 1969. i sat in the back row, the seat senator susan collins now occupies. i was sandwiched between arizona's two senators. very goldwater sat on my right. i was really impressed. i looked around and saw thes

and the fellow she's with is howard baker. [laughter] and a lot of friends, as i say. in fact, one of our friends, larry harrison -- you may remember larry, he worked in the men's restroom area for years -- died just last night of cancer. trent mentioned coming home. there's an old saying that "home is where the heart is." even though i have been gone from this building for nearly 4 years -- i haven't been back but two or three times -- a part of my heart will always remain here. so, as the other speakers have been honored, i am very grateful for this opportunity. the voters of kansas granted me the privilege of serving in the capitol for over 35 years -- 27-plus in the senate. and my republican colleagues granted me the privilege of occupying the leader's office across the hall for over 11 years. i was a little nervous at one point when senator byrd came in to look it over after they retook the majority, but he was kind enough not to take the office. hubert humphrey once said about his own speeches that "i didn't think they were too long. i enjoyed every minute of the

senator baker became the republican leader would senator byrd became the democratic leader. they worked together. they got the panama canal treaty together it was only because of the partnership that that happen. then when senator baker became the mantra to leader, now he had faced senator byrd, the man he knew so much about the rules and senator baker tells a story that he went up to senator byrd one day and said, i will make you a deal i won't surprise you if you don't surprise me. and senator byrd said to let me think about that. at the end of the day he came back and said i agree. that was a working relationship. they did not blindside each other. that's kind of cooperation helped make the senate work even when they disagreed with each other, even when they were fighting with each other, they did it by the rules and they respected each other as colleagues. >> donald ritchie, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> this sunday on q&a, the groundbreaking 1915 film the birth of a nation in its depiction of former slaves after the civil war and the efforts by african-america

baker? one more time from you. >> mobile broadband has never been under title 2 because of explicit expression of congress. it's not sustainable. >> there might be an opportunity for litigation here, you think. this is my point. we have soltalyinted people. some are attorneys. some are not. some are backed up by smart attorneys. there's division right here on this panel. this is where i think certainty matters and legislating matters. yes or no. have you actually seen what the f.c.c. is proposing? mr. dickerson? >> we have seen principles. >> i mean have you seen the language? >> no. >> mr. misener >> i have heard a great deal about what's in it. >> you have. but you haven't read it. >> no. >> ok. >> don't no nothing. -- don't know nothing. >> ms. baker? >> no. >> does anybody anticipate they'll see it before they vote on it? >> no. >> could you repeat that question? >> does anybody anticipate being able to see it before the commissioners are called upon to vote on it? >> no. >> mr. dickerso

baker said.has been as you know, a former commissioner of the fcc under title 2 since 1993. so i think everyone needs to have an appreciation of that. and i don't think the testimony reflected that. thank you. >> thank you. i think we agree that putting protections into law would be a win for consumers. i think what's on the table today, there's serious threats this undermines fcc efforts to bridge the digital divide. which brings could have the potential to bring affordable broadband to the working poor. undermines privacy truth in billing, consumer protections that we have come to expect and rely on calls into question the ability to continue protecting us on the communications platform of the 21st century. >> thank you, my republicans colleagues characterize it as consistent with the fcc's 2010 net neutrality rules. do you agree it provides the same level of protection as the 2010 rules? >> i think it's true, there are some rules that look like the 2010 rules. i think -- and there's a number o

i enlisted the support of howard baker. senator baker could rise above political parties. when he believed the national interest required it, just as he did in the panama canal debates. the carter administration chose to withdraw the sale of awaks temporarily. the iranian revolution occurred and the shah. had the sale gone through as planned, the sophisticated aircraft would have fallen into the hands of an unfriendly government. and so often as happened in our history, individual courage and character again chartered our course. this brings me to my second point. the senate has always been blessed with the senators able to rise above parting and considered first and foremost the national interest. and they're a very worthy example in senate history. the senate has appointed the special committee chaired by john f. kennedy to it was no easy task. in setting the criteria, the committee looked to senators who had stood firm for our principles. who had not blown with the wind daniel webster's personal financial dealings left an eternal blot on his record, yet he deserved to h

the same thing is true of my predecessor dick baker.senator bird tapped to be in the historical office on a regular basis. he was unique in the senate. he never went to college. he took a class here and there but he never got a college degree. he actually went to law school as a senator at night. and the american university law school recognized his service in the house and the senate as the equivalent of a college degree. and he went on to get his law degree, and he had president kennedy come to present his diploma at his graduation. but i've always thought that here he was in a body full of rhodes scholars and yale and harvard graduates stanford graduates, anda, leaguers and people with terrific educations he never felt interior about that. instead, what he felt was that he never ended his education. he was always reading. he was always studying. once i rode with him to an event, and in the back seat of his car was a copy of the captain of monte cristo. i looked at it with surprise and he said, i never had a chance to read that when i

meredith avril baker, president and ceo of the wireless association. ms. baker glad to have you back before the subcommittee as well. >> chairman, ranking member and members of the committee thank you for inviting me to share the wireless industry perspectives on the importance of an open internet. at the outset i want to be clear america's wireless industry fully supports an open internet. wireless users demand it in a marketplace where competition has never been more vigorous. in the past 20 years the wireless industry has grown from a luxury product to the key driver of economic growth. we all benefit from faster speeds, more services and lower prices. think u.s. the u.s. is the global leader in wireless by any metric and it's at the forefront of mobile innovation in health automotive and payment fields. central to that growth was the foresight and establishing section 332 a mobile specific regulatory framework outside of title ii. congress has the opportunity to grow the same stability for broadband. we greatly appreciate the committee's work to develo
