reagan said, i have already given the job that bill casey. there was big animosity and between barry goldwater and casey in republican politics. over the next week, the president-elect said he got more calls about me than any other single candidate for any job, as cold water and moynihan were out marshaling other things. and then came the idea, well, less to a shotgun marriage. casey and inman, try to satisfy the congressman. and so we are in the office and speaking as your commander in chief -- [laughter] i need you and i want you to take the job as bill casey's deputy. under the circumstances, i am honored but no more than 18 months to two years. and he accepted that. and he nominated me for for a start. that's how i ended up with four stars. it was an unusual arrangement in many ways. normally the director of central intelligence deals with outside work and the deputy director runs cia day today. that is not what bill casey wanted it all. he wanted to run the clandestine service and the analytical arm personally. he did not want anything to

this is when bill casey was the dci. fidelity in his speaking presentations. the notice that when i got to the committee that the committee had rigged up microphones that came to right here, and you could not possibly avoid it. but i would like to talk a little bit about today is the article that i wrote that talks about the actual record of the intelligence community in predicting the soviet decline in collapse, and talk a little bit about why even to this day, there is a misunderstanding about how well the community performed. i will then conclude by discussing what are the lessons we can draw from this episode. 1994, mid-1990's, around some of the cold war intelligence estimates were just beginning to be declassified and released. an old classmate of mine, jeff richardson, who has written extensively on intelligence and uses of the freedom of information act extensively got hold of some of these estimates. that had been previously cited in mckinsey study. pdf, who knew me from graduate school, called me and said bruce

among his members of his administration and he says i'm going with george on this one, i think bill casey has this right, and so on. so he disagrees -- he recognizes that they disagree and he wants to hear these different views, they come from different places , and there are huge differences, and he tolerates that. ok? he is obviously capable of firing people. he keeps all of them in spite of their disagreements. two of his decisions are especially important. one of them is the decision when he decides that he wants to follow the zero-zero pass on intermediate nuclear weapons in europe and if the soviets did not take their missiles out that are aimed at cities in western europe, that he would put pershing missiles and cruise missiles in western europe to be aimed at moscow and kiev and other cities in the soviet union. he is very determined about that and worked very hard on that. there's a document in the cia collection that shows they provided information how best to work with allies on achieving this objective, but reagan is absolutely determined on that. in november of 1983 we starte

a lot of future directors, allen does, richard helms, william colby, bill casey, all were officers whoserved under donovan. counter teeth under him and became future cia director's. >> we don't? >> you know, that's the story that does sound intriguing to me to go forward with it. she would have to have a personal thing for me. i'm not one of the journalists who show up and knock on doors. i have to have the story. and it have to have the element that i'm looking for that when it's already in the papers that means the other journalists running around it. and i'm also not for higher. i have to want to write it has met the. but it's intriguing. i would love to see an e-mail from her. if it's something that you have, you know, they handle on i can get in and talk to everyone i want to tell their story, i did write a book about oil, but it was more in the new york merc exchange in dubai. it's intriguing. i start with sob stories all the times. a look at them and be like it's not really right for me or it's going to take too much time or be too dangerous. i also like to put myself into real

bill. i think we can do it again. >> okay. senator robert caseyus from scranton, pennsylvania, your hometown. actually you're here in washington but you're from scranton. you had to vote today. >>> now msnbc political analyst and former pennsylvania governor ed rendell joins us. governor rendell, you're from the southeastern part of the state, and i'm just thinking about this very simple thing, connection. hillary clinton could do it, bill clinton could do it. they seemed to come from middle class backgrounds, especially the former president. he never seemed like an elitist, never seemed like an ivy league guy even though he's a rhodes scholar. how do you get that from this president, that connection? >> i'm not sure you necessarily have to do that. fdr certainly came from a white-laced background and he connected, so i think the president can, and i think he's started the road back with these voters by what he's doing on the jobs bill. for instance, in scranton, chris, there are a lot of unemployed or guys who are working halftime construction wo

bill murray can't believe he's waking up with the same day one more time. i'm joined by democratic senator bob caseyk you for joining me. >> thanks, alex. >> i'm going to ask you the same question i've asked other lawmakers. i'm looking for the most nonpartisan answer that you can give me. senator kay bailey hutchison gave me one, debbie wasserm wasserman schultz. can you explain why it's taken them so long to pass this when it only pushes it back two short months? >> i'm frustrated as anyone else. you have people blocking the extension of the payroll tax cut that we put in place last year, put $1,000 in the pockets of the average working take home pay and blocking unemployed insurance. we've got to keep at this, keep working at it. i'm going to be introducing a payroll tax cut bill again. this will be my third version of this. we're going to keep working at it. we've got to extend this for the whole year because it will do great harm to the economy if politicians in washington keep blocking it. >> with this third extension that you're going to write and author and propose, how long do you think you

incorporated, so it still has some of the fundamental problems with the previous bill but it is an improvement. i congratulate senator casey on the improvement. host: could you possibly vote yes on this? guest: i will be studying it. it was released early this morning and added do not do so well and the morning. host: are you willing to let the payroll tax holiday expire? guest: it was a temporary benefit to bring the economy back, just like that $300 per person payment that george bush passed in 2007, an attempt to bring the economy back. neither one of those works. i think it is obvious the payroll tax holiday has not worked to change the economy. our economic figures are about the same. when you get into extending things, they go from being extended to being permanent. the social security trust fund is going broke and 2034. when you lower the payments into the trust fund, you are lowering the time it goes broke. we have to be very careful as policy makers and as lawmakers. host: yesterday president obama pushed for a extension of the payroll tax holiday. here is what he said about republicans like yourself who ever accu

so it still has some of the fundamental problems with the previous bill, but it is an improvement, and i congratulate senator casey on the improvement. >> host: does that mean you could possibly vote yes on this? >> guest: means i'm going to study it today. my first reading was at 6:30 in the morning, so i'm going to give myself the rest of the day. [laughter] >> guest: all right, maybe a little more coffee. you did vote last week against the democratic proposal as well as the gop proposal put forward by your leader in the senate, mitch mcconnell. are you willing to let the tax, the payroll tax holiday expire? >> guest: well, you know, it was a temporary benefit, alleged benefit that would hopefully bring the economy back, just like the $300 per-person payment that george bush passed in 2007 was an attempt to bring the economy back. neither one of those worked, and i think it's pretty obvious the payroll tax holiday of a year ago has not worked to change the economy because our economic figures are about the same. one of the things we're into is when you go into extending things, they end up being permanent, and i

casey: mr. president, this middle class tax cut act is very simple. it does two things for employers and also helps employees. last year the senate came together on a bipartisan bill. we passed a tax bill that, among other things, reduced payroll taxes for employees. this legislation expands that. instead of just saying we're going to have a reduction of 2% of the payroll tax, it was going to be -- this legislation has it as a -- a cut in half. so you're cutting the payroll tax in half. that's take-home pay, 1,500 bucks in the pockets of the average working family in america. secondly, it allows us to provide a -- a cut as well, cutting in half the payroll tax for businesses. it's good public policy. it will create lots of jobs at a time when the american people are telling us with one voice they want us to do one thing here -- create jobs or create the conditions for job creation so small businesses can hire and at the same time they want us to come together on a bipartisan way. i urge a "yes" vote. the presiding officer: the senator's time has expired. who yields time in opposition? a senator: mr. president? mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from
