--bob bartlett. >> was it because of johnson's presidential ambitions?ost people i've talked to have said it was because of his friendship to bartlett. >> narrator: perhaps rayburn and johnson could bridge the divide with dixiecrats over alaska, but there was still the question of hawaii. in the past, tying the two together in one bill had always defeated both. >> we decided to let alaska's bill go forward first, and we thought that once we got the alaska bill through, the hawaii bill would pass without any objection. >> narrator: but that strategy required support from hawaii's delegate to congress, john burns. >> "jack burns realizes that hawaii's only chance is to get the alaska statehood bill passed in this session of congress. then with the precedent of having admitted a noncontiguous territory, hawaii's chances would be much better at a future congress." --ernest gruening. >> "i will work hard for alaskan statehood. if it becomes necessary to drop hawaiian statehood in order to get alaska through, i will do just that." --john burns. >> he was known

foremost on the new statehood committee was bob bartlett of fairbanks.artlett had been elected to the office of territorial delegate to congress in 1944 and would go on to lead alaska's fight for statehood in washington d.c. in the 1950s, america was engaged in a new war, a cold war with the soviet union. and with only 55 miles separating the territory from siberia, the u.s. government recognized alaska's strategic importance. a long list of defense construction projects meant that federal spending would continue to dominate the territory's economy. alaskans were optimistic in the flush of a booming economy, but in many ways, little had changed in the federal government's approach to governing the territory. the eisenhower administration seemed indifferent to the statehood movement, and at the same time, dissatisfaction with the territory's administration and judicial system was reaching the boiling point. >> in 1954, it became very clear that congress again hadn't acted on an alaska statehood bill and that something more needed to be done. >> narrator:

with congressional republicans, bartlett was at a disadvantage. what's more, the president, dwight d. eisenhower, was a republican. >> it was a matter of the majority of the u.s. senators supporting statehood, but the filibuster power was with the southern anti-civil rights senators, and so that statehood bills couldn't successfully move through both houses. >> narrator: the key would be turning around those powerful leaders in the senate and house who kept alaska statehood bottled up in committee. >> was it true that there's a split in your own democratic party between the conservative wing, the southern wing of the democratic party, those 15 states which believe that a few more northern senators might upset their filibuster rights? >> i have heard that stated, and i think there's truth to it. on the other hand, i am happy to say that we have some very fine support from southern senators. some of those people have come to our assistance and are working actively for us, but i think that situation does exist, yes. >> the congress was very narrowly

. >> narrator: on the convention's opening day, alaska's delegate to congress, bob bartlett, made theeynote address... >> "the story of alaska's natural resources has too often been one of exploitation with very little of the great wealth extracted going to pay for necessary governmental services and for the permanent development of a sound economy for the people. the second danger is that outside interests will attempt to acquire great areas of alaska's public lands in order not to develop them until such time as, in their omnipotence and the pursuance of their own interests, they see fit." >> narrator: convention delegate bill egan had to hitch a ride to fairbanks on a truck because cars couldn't make it through the snowbound mountain passes from his home in valdez. >> he was not an educated man. he never went to college. but he had a lot of native, natural intelligence, and he was well-read and served in several sessions of the legislature and honed his political skills in those experiences. >> bill egan was elected president because he essentially was seen as a very fair, decent h

joseph in baltimore ex-you're on with james steele and donald bartlett. >> caller: thank you. i'm glad to be speaking to these two gentlemen. i was wondering whether they would agree that the democratic party, in the early '90s, with the new democrats, a conscious decision that in order for them to be a relevant national party, they had to neutralize the defense establishment, the foreign policy establishment, as well as wall street or else they would never have a national significance and they would become irrelevant. i'd like to hear their take on the shift that the democratic party felt it had to make. >> guest: we -- to tell you the truth we do not delve too much into the issue of motives and motivation, about why things happen. unless that motive makes itself very, very clear and obvious, and you can sort of get to the heartment we just try to stick with what happened, and there's no doubt that the democratic party certainly in the '9s and today is a far cry from some of the positions it took in the past. i couldn't believe at the time on the whole debate on obamacare you

brute bartlett -- bruce bartlett, deputy assistant secretary for economic policy at treasury under president george h.w. bush. this is what he said: "a potential debt default is far more than a domestic consideration. it is a matter of foreign policy." now, that leads me to briefly comment. we suddenly have in the international arena a whole bunch of new things that might be optimistic signs. if the russians follow through and if president assad does, in fact, open up -- and those are two big ifs, but at least it's happened thus far in the first week. in assad does, in fact, open up his chemical weapons, then there is the possibility that not only would the ability to disperse chemical weapons in syria have been eliminated, but the entire weapons would have been eliminated. that's a pretty good first step. and then, too, we're hearing a new president of iran as a result of an election in iran start to talk a new tune with an outreach to the west. should we be skeptical? of course. but if they follow through on their statements, and i can tell you that this one senator has already talked to t
