and bill white, without -- you would never be able to say this nowadays he would say bill white, whitey, and whitey was, you know, bill white was a black guy, he would say whitey, you have to take over for me, i have to go home, i have to get across that bridge. and pretty soon it would be in the middle of an inning and three balls and two strikes from a guy and say i have to go. and of course bill would try to cover for scooter, i remember one more occasion they would take a shot of someone warming up in the bullpen and he would say looks like the yanks got a new pitcher in there, no, scooter, that's the bullpen. >> poor bill white. >> scooter would write ww sometimes in his score sheet, when he wasn't watching, to see what happened instead of a strikeout for a fly ball. >> but the yankees were so part of all of our lives as kids, that wpix had a theme song that they would play and when i was made to take piano lessons that was the only thing i asked the teacher to teach me how to play. we passed up the b. ach and beethoven and went radio right to the yankee theme song so i didn't have

i know daphne has written a lot about this and, and also bill white. i published a paper in 2004 in the treatment, alcoholism treatment quarterly, which actually talks a lot about the issue of terminology and how it may affect, how it's imprecise. for example, we use the term abuse, generically, but also it's a diagnostic label, it's actually a, a dsm diagnostic label, which creates a lot of confusion when you see it written. are they referring to the more generic issue, you know, regarding the whole range of problems versus a particular diagnosis, that has specific meaning? so it's imprecisely used and this is a problem, of course, in communication. so one of the things that i think we need to, we need to have a term that describes these problems generically... and the institute of medicine has tried to deal with that, have they not? yes and the world health organization too, so in the 1970's they were advocating against using the term abuse, even though the american psychiatric association adopted that term which is unfortunate because then that give

and so i think it's real important that, and, and i think bill white talks about this, that the greatest stigma reducer is when you begin to promote these relationships, their interactions between communities and people in recovery or the interaction between treatment programs and the neighborhoods where they're located. and i think it's really, really important. and lureen i want to go into the, the treatment system itself. are there opportunities for the treatment system, the individuals that are providing the treatment in your, you're in a state entity and certainly this program is sponsored by a federal entity, are there opportunities for, for those entities to look at the change that needs to happen in language and, and what can be done about that? i think it's very important, i do think it's an opportunity. one of the things that we're doing in new york is that, we've taken the language that samhsa has promoted and we have sort of tweaked it. we have a one-pager, two-sided, that we are going to be taking to every meeting, every meeting with a provider, every convention, everywhere.

bill. >> reporter: white house officials say the president has no regrets about anything he said. as for republicans, they're dismissing the comments as campaign talk. katie? >> couric: chip reid at the white house tonight. chip, thank you. and by the way, congressman ryan will be bob schieffer's guest this sunday on "face the nation." ryan's controversial budget plan passed the republican-controlled house today. congressional correspondent nancy cordes has more on that. >> reporter: the yeas are 235 and the nays are 193. >> reporter: all but four house republicans voted yes on a budget plan the g.o.p. claims will rescue medicare. >> it's time we got serious. >> reporter: and democrats say destroys it. >> ends medicare. throws seniors to the wolves. >> reporter: the plan, devised by house budget chair paul ryan, would cap medicaid, slash domestic spending and convert medicare from government insurance into subsidies seniors could use to buy private coverage. it would also cut the tax rate for the wealthy from 35% to 25%. >> we save medicare, prevent its bankruptcy and what does th

here's senior white house correspondent bill plante. >> reporter: the day of reckoning with uncle sam is less painful for some than for others. the tax policy institute says 45% of americans don't owe the government anything today, but they're not the superrich. >> many elderly people don't pay any federal income tax. low-income elderly. the second group of people is low income working people and people with families. we have a large number of credits that have been introduced in the tax system. >> reporter: the very rich do pay, but they pay a lot less than they used to-- 17% in 2007, down from 26% in 1992, according to the i.r.s. but tea partiers protested around the nation charging that the government takes too much. while the liberal view moveon.org protested corporations pay to little. president obama's return, released today by the white house, shows a sharp drop in the first family's income, from $5.5 million last year to $1.7 million this year, reflecting fewer sales of the president's books. the obamas paid $453,000 in taxes, about 26% of their adjusted gross income. the pres

plante is at the white house now with more on what the president might be saying momentarily. bill white house doing this now? >> reporter: the one thing you haven't heard mentioned around here this morning is that of donald trump but he does indeed seem to be the reason why the president is speaking out about this today. the white house puts a slightly different spin on it. they say, we have had the information out there since 2008. but it's been a distraction since it's come up in debate recently. what we should be talking about is the way to reduce debt and other important issues facing the nation not this sideshow. so the white house spin in a briefing earlier today is that the president decided to request his birth certificate and put it out there so that this debate would end. we hope, he says, or the white house official who spoke to us earlier said, that this will close the debate. the certificate which they have shown us is a copy of live birth from hawaii which has more information on it than the computer generated copy which is out there. that copy is what every hawaiian

but they think it works to their advantage. >> all right, bill plante at the white house this morning. bill, thank you very much. it is 7:13 right now. and we head back to london, where erica hill is standing by. good morning. >> jeff, good morning. good to see you this morning. this is, of course, the day before the big day. less than 24 hours from now, we will be in full swing at westminster abbey. cbs news correspondent mark phillips is outside the abbey this morning, where anticipation is really hitting a fever pitch, especially because, mark, as i understand it, there were a few rather important people in terms of the wedding at the abbey today. >> there are, indeed. let me just mention the phone that i've got stuck in my ear here as we're ironing out our communications difficulties. i'm not talking to somebody else, i am talking to you. but, yes, there are, i don't know, 300, 400, maybe more people already camped out here. to use a sports metaphor, they've staked out positions at home plate for this event tomorrow, and it's just across the street from westminster abbey, maybe 20

bills. >> reporter: the white house is confident that congress will eventually make a deal, but with so many americans still unconvinced that the debt limit should be raised, it sets the stage for another high-stakes political drama here in washington, russ. >> mitchell: whit johnson, at the white house. thanks. for more perspective on the debt ceiling and what a default might mean to the economy, we're joined by jim awad, managing director of zephyr management. in a nutshell, why should americans be concerned about this? >> well, the government borrows money to repay maturing debt, to pay interest in debt outstanding and to pay for the army, medicare, social security, and all of that would stop if the government ran out of money and couldn't borrow any more. >> mitchell: again, this number is staggering. $14.3 trillion, that's the debt. how did we get to this point? >> we got here gradually over time through a buildup in entitlements and basically spending more than we take in revenues. but recently it's gone up really dramatically over the last ten years. under president bush, you paid for

>> bill plante at the white house this morning. bill, thanks. >>> i want to head back to new york now to check in with jeff glor at the newsdesk for a look at some of the morning's other headlines. good morning, jeff. >>> hey, erica, good morning to you, good morning to everyone at home as well. your grocery bill is going up. food prices are rising right now. the agriculture department reports the price for beef is expected to rise 8% this year. pork prices are predicted to rise 7.5%. the price of food overall predicted to increase 3% to 4%, the most since 2008. >>> there's news on the presidential campaign front this morning. ron paul will announce today he's forming a presidential exploratory committee. paul, a texas congressman, libertarian, and tea party favorite finished fifth in the 2008 iowa caucuses. >>> also, yesterday, mississippi governor haley barbour said he will not run. political correspondent jan crawford is in washington with more on these stories. jan, talking about barbour. why did the barbour team decide this is

where cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante is this morning. bill, good morning. and you were there covering the white house during the last shutdown in '95-'96 under president clinton. what is similar this go-round to the last shutdown? >> well, good morning, rebecca. it's kind of deja vu all over again. you have both sides standing on principle. you have a clash between the president and the speaker. back then it was democrat bill clinton in the white house, and republican newt gingrich, the speaker of the house. but, just like today's speaker, john boehner, gingrich was determined to cut money out of the budget. the money issues are very similar, too. the congress had passed a budget that cut medicare, medicaid, education, environmental controls, and president clinton refused to sign that budget. he said that the republicans were putting ideology ahead of common sense. sound familiar? and, of course, just as today in 1995, an election year, a presidential year, was just around the corner. rebecca? >> yeah, bill. certainly many similarities there. one difference,

praised his commitment to an open and transparent government the at the time the event was billed by the white house is open to a very limited press pool but was postponed the last second due to the president's schedule well it turns out the bad award was presented to the president this monday and guess what the press wasn't even invited and ok i'm going to take that back there was a white house videographer and one photographer present could get this the entire event it didn't even make it on the president's public schedule that's great transparency isn't it how is that possible in the white house think that none of the groups giving the president be awarded right about the meeting now asked for transparency this white house is guilty of evoking state secrets in court hearings numerous times something of they criticize the bush white house for during the campaign they've launched a war on whistleblowers and they've been slower to respond to freedom of information act request than other white house has before that and then again they also start of the war without asking congress or talking to

cbs news senior white house correspondent, bill plante, has more from the white house where the president just finished speaking. kind of an extraordinary news conference here this morning. >> it was preceded by a white house briefing with are officials brought out this letter they had received a certified cope of the long-form birth certificate. they said they had regarded the issue asset ld even though they knew there were people who doubted it. our polls showed that 25% of all people doubt that the president was born in the u.s. and 45% of republicans doubt it. yet, the white house said they were ready to ignore this until in recent weeks and they didn't mention donald trump's name, it began to overshadow the debate about what they considered the important things, the debate over the finances of the nation to come. the debt and the deficit. the white house put it out and they said, they put it this way. here is their spin. this he said, look, this would have played out to the president's advantage if we had let it stay out there. the president thought it was more important to bring the

resurrect it apparently because congress is, for the first time in years, privacy, consumer bill of rights and the white house has said that this such a thing is needed. does that have a real shot at passing? can something be done here? >> technology emerges, consumer follows and then businesses and brands come in and government is way behind that. really we have to look at consumers. consumers, in our research, say they care about privacy, but they rarely turn on those features. >> thank you very kindly. >>> up next on "press here," we'll continue the talk with s.a.p.'s chief information officer. "press here" will be right back. >>> welcome back. if you're a huge software company, you have to decide not only which tablet to give your employees, the ipad or something else, but what tablet to program for. what will your customers use? s.a.p.'s top technology officer was in town recently. i sat down with him in this pretaped interview. oliver busman is chief information officer at german software giant s.a.p. he's purchased more than 3,000 apple ipads for his work force. thanks for being with us this morn

the bill and subsidies for airline service to remote communities with the exception of alaska, the white house has threatened to veto the bill. advisory panel to a food and drug recommends the agency further study the link between food coloring and childhood hyperactivity. products that contain dyes do not need package warnings. the doctors and academics and others agree the fda there is not enough evidence to show certain dyes cause hyperactivity in the general population more women are having babies later in life. our recent study found women 40 through 44 at 6% increase in birth rate during 20007-2009. the study found that after reaching an all-time high of 4.3 million births and 2007 the number dropped to 4.1 million in 2009. we are keeping an eye on a hot spot this morning plusher 7 day forecast when the kron 4 news comes back. >> erica: welcome back, i look bring you good news and i finally can. no longer tracking southbound 101 as of hot spot this morning. we were following an earlier morning vehicle fire that was blocking all lanes. to lanes were blocked causing the slowdown past

[laughter] and later she goes out to the balcony on the white house bill by a harry truman and says you know, mrs. bush this particular balcony was built by mr. truman. and she says i would not know i was not born then. [laughter] she had a good time with that. but it warmed up both of the bushes. george bush walked to one side of the room and shared a toy chest where the kids get their choice when they came in it was very humanizing. man she became first lady mrs. bush elected and the press to have a long history of working on capitol hill to be her press secretary and gave the advice, if i said it, said it. that means if i said something to be favored to not interpret what i am saying and i meant it if somebody needs to interpret it i will do that. please don't do not do it for me. that's is an interesting approach many people will spend things the way that they want them but mrs. bush obviously felt very strongly she bled represent herself. no regular press conferences but press opportunities and mrs. bush got along well with the press but something in her memoir she said it somethin

>> well, he's -- the two that they watch closely at the white house are ronald reagan and bill clinton. both were in the 40's at this point. and the issue for the president, if you're over 50%, in approval as you near the election, you're going to be very tough to beat. history says if a president is over that mark, they're in good shape. if you're below 42%, below that, you're in real trouble. he's in that kind of nether world. vulnerable, not in clear danger zone but certainly not in a comfort zone. >> how about that republican field? and who we've seen the most of lately, donald trump. but is he leading? gwen: it turns out somebody has to beat the president? is that what you're saying? >> somebody will have to beat him. donald trump has gotten an enormous amount of attention. most of it self-generated. he has made himself available -- gwen: with some aid and comfort by people who do what we do for a living. >> made himself available and all of us have climbed onboard to do interviews. and in some polls now he is at or near the top of the pack. it's quite remarkable. he is a celebrit

. >> are you concerned that the white house has not been very active in messaging this bill? there are a lot of things in it that people think are unworkable. some of the things you are talking about the seem overly harsh, but the white house has not been talking a lot of specifics about this. are you frustrated by that? >> i wish they would be a little more on target here, but you have to remember, this would be a thing came up, and it has really dominated the news for the last week. i wish they could do more. i wish they would talk more about the pain that will cause, and the most important thing beyond that, and these programs are important, is that this will not work economically -- you have paul krugman, all the best economists in the country saying that by cutting spending, all you are going to do is increase the deficit. they are doing exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time. this is basic keynesian economics. even though the stimulus was very active -- very controversial, we would have 12% unemployment today if we have not done that stimulus package. and the tax cuts

you have among them supreme court justice arthur goldberg, the actor sterling hayden, white sox catcher bill berg and arthur schlesinger, jr. but perhaps the most unusual and notable was the chef, julia stevan. the news that she worked for the oss made headlines across the country. everywhere i went on the book tour for the next few weeks people would stop and ask me was she really us by? what did she do, where did she go? and i didn't know the answer to any of the questions. so i began doing some research, and one thing or another lead to the beginning of this book. now, like so many wartime secrets, julia child, oss's career really wasn't a secret at all. the fact of her intelligence career could be looked up as easily as the ingredients to the recipe for quiche lorraine. in her life she opened up a bit about her past, she had broken her vow of silence and talked about her page for the oss. she even mentioned a few paragraphs about it in her memoir my life in france. it was mentioned in the various books. one movie about her and paul had a brief bit about it, and it wasn't all the obituari

then in the navy i had a wonderful boss, a physician who said i will nominate you for the white house. and bill clinton trusted me to take care of him and his family and go from there and proceed. what do i plan to do? claman entreprenuership i could probably expanded by 12 but i want to write books and other things that i was in honolulu and then i was asked why didho j you run for office?of governor of hawaii? my husband said you probably have to live there. why can't i commute? [laughter] it is of limited. that is the beauty to know what is already ceilings have been shattered but it is on the minute. what you want to do?your women are living longer into their 90s.wo what am i doing? women run for secretary of state in their sixties. it is on limited.t, but you have to decide i want to do it and have the tools to move forward. lot of times the only things holding us back is ourselves. you just don't hold yourself back. >>y, [inaudible] [laughter] >> i will get back to you in four years. >> absolutely.[lau typing 175 words a minute i have to become a the ceo.

of independence, the articles of could be federation, the constitution, the bill of rights, there are also cabinet minutes, white house papers and the presidential library system. including secret audio tapes and confidential memos. what can average americans find in this priceless legacy? is it readily accessible? how many secrets reside in the repositories of our national archives? have any of the secrets been improperly penetrated and revealed? we'll ask the archivist of the united states, alan weinstein. [theme song playing] >> doctor alan weinstein, it's a great pleasure having yo pleasure to be here. >> recently, you brought the minister of iraq. what did he -- what was his impression? what did he take away from your visit and what did you show him? >> john, we have over a million visitors every year. he was -- he had the place to himself for a while. he was interested in seeing the charters of freedoms, interested in seeing the declaration of independence, the constitution and -- >> u.n. declaration? >> and the bill the rights, the u.s. charter. he was also interested in the revolutionary period. washingt

. >> reporter: and while the white house is billing the trip as part policy statement and part politics, they are definitely squeezing as many fundraisers in as possible. a $25 to $15,000 a seat rally at san francisco's masonic auditorium. $35,800 dinner here in pacific heights. and tomorrow night at the regis a $5,000 per person breakfast plus an add on of a $35,800 per couple for a cup of coffee. >> we don't have a ticket to give to anybody no matter what they wanted to pay. >> if i said i have $10,000 for obama what would i get? >> i have already turned away $350,000 of people who want to come. >> reporter: that's one big chunk of change. but is it still change you can believe in? >> money is definitely a relevant practice of politics. that's not a news flash for anybody. >> reporter: in his first run for president obama raised and spent $250 million. they think this campaign could break the $1 billion mark. >> what do you think $1 billion? >> more than that. >> the trip itself with air force one is split. taxpayers are paying for the public part of the trip and the campaign for the

of course the name was bill by the justice white. i recognized him immediately. to give you a really quick thumbnail sketch, he was born in 1823, died in 1891. he was from a fairly poor family. his father died when he is gone. he went to one of the public schools. they called the mcauliffe school. afterwards he went to train with james mccann smith who is one of our early doctors and pharmacists. he was an apprentice in smith's pharmacy for two years. that then enabled him to enter the college of pharmacy of the city of new york. he got a degree in 1844, 1844, black man from the college of pharmacy. is -- then he established a pharmacy, a drug store in downtown new york. it is on the corner of what was frankfurt and called street. part of pace university is there now. he made quite a bit of money through his drugstore. the money he had he get back to add to causes. one, the education of black children and the other, his church. when he moved to brooklyn in 1870 he settled there. 1883, seth low who is then mayor brooklyn appointed him to the brooklyn board of educ

the white house says it will veto the bill. if the shutdown happens it would hit california hard.ens of thousands of federal workers will stay home without pay. national parks including yosemite would probably close. the irs would shut down in the middle of tax season. and tax refund checks wouldn't be issued and new applications for passports and visas are not expected to be processed. >>> celebrity chef guy fieri has a new car to replace a bright yellow lamborghini that was stolen from a san francisco car dealership and the new car, a bright yellow chevy camaro convertible. his lamborghini similar to this one, it was his -- his was yellow -- was stolen from british motor cars dealership on van ness on march 8. the thief rappelled from the roof of the building and drove the car out the door after he cut the lock. surveillance video captured images of the car driving across the golden gate bridge and through tiburon and it has not been seen since. >> it took off big parts. >> speaking of wheels, how much are you willing to pay for a bibby stroller? would you pay $1,500 for a baby

we got a message from the white house while i was on the floor, the president will veto this bill. yes. great. i hope he can hear you from here. way to go, way to got! all right. good. i think this legislation attacks the bedrock of our country. we have fought as women and a lot of good men to have our rights to vote. now they are chipping away at that, a piece of the time, reproductive freedom. i promise you that i will stand with you and for you in your place, whatever we need to do, until we see this through, and once again we have the ability, not have to go through what i had gone through back in the day, when women were simply sent to the back alleys and put their lives in danger. thank you so much for being here. thank you. >> please recognize the great champion for women's health, a representative. please welcome connie britton and david eichenberg from "sex and the city." >> ok. today is the day. this is real here today, as real as it ever gets. politicians have been elected to the hill in d.c. to do something. i do not know exactly what, but they were not elected here to

but the new six-month spending bill also protects some key white house interests, especially in education. among the protected items, $7.5 billion funding for head start promoting early childhood development. $700 million for the race to the top fund that rewards states for implementing reforms. and pel grants for low-income college students keeping the maximum award at $5550. on the senate floor today, majority leader harry reid said democrats shielded those priorities and others from republicans. >> there are many examples where they wanted to cut recklessly. we insisted on cutting responsibly. throughout this debate we stayed true to our values. american people noticed and they're glad we did. by clear majorities our constituents are glad we stood up for health reform, for women's health for cleaner air and on and on. >> suarez: it also became clear today that many of the cuts were one-time only. such as unused census funds and leftover construction money. some house republicans argued today it's not enough to make any real dent in the deficit. ohio congressman jim jordan, chair of the

bill yesterday. immediately president obama threatened to veto it. he said it's no way to run the government. there may be, though, a bit of wiggle room. the white house said mr. obama would be willing to sign a bill that he called a clean bill. one that would focus on budget cuts, not focus on particular policies, if that would allow some talking time to finalize an agreement. so far, though, no public indication that that is likely to happen. mike and peggy? >> all right. emily schmidt, live from washington this morning. thank you. >>> the commander who on in libe military mission in libya before nato took over, said the u.s. may consider sending troops into that country after all. army general carter ham told a senate committee it is possible america could participate in an international ground force after gadhafi is gone. but he also says that the situation in libya is turning into a stalemate. >>> and secretary of defense, robert gates, is in iraq today. he's urging iraqi officials to decide soon, whether they want u.s. troops to stay beyond december 31st. that's when the withdrawal is now set to be finished. gates also visited troops at ca

this bill like h.r. 1 before it isn't going anywhere. the senate leadership and white house have already made it very clear that yet another short-term continuing resolution is not acceptable. further, this bill continues the misguided priorities that we have seen from the republican leadership of the house for the last several months. it cuts vital domestic programs that families, communities, and states rely on during these difficult economic times. let me just give you a few examples of the cuts to programs that will be directly -- that will directly affect the people in massachusetts that i'm honored to represent. h.r. 1363 would cut the land and water conservation fund which helps preserve open space by another $71.5 million. it cuts $700 million from the clean water and drinking water revolving funds. i don't know of a community in this country that doesn't have infrastructure needs. and the state revolving fund is one of the few areas where they can get money to help repair sewers and deal with storm water and a whole bunch of other issues, but they cut it by $7

i mean, look, just since bill clinton took office, the non-white population in this country has morehan doubled. right now, almost more than half of all americans under 18 will be minorities. those are numbers that are going to be higher for the republicans to overcome if they don't start reaching out into the population, if they don't stop doing things that drive non-whites away. right now it's kind of hard to see how they're going to get around this unless they do something like, you know, maybe putting a rubio on the ticket. >> i was just going to say that. that's the five-letter answer i always here from republicans. we'll put rubio on the ticket. >> if republicans were already getting 100% of the hispanic vote, putting rubio on the ticket would still be a good idea. the other thing i would note about this, the most recent poll of latino voters, 70% said they approved of obama, but only 40% said they were definitely going to vote for obama. so there's some sort of -- >> lack of energy, yeah. >> it's not in his pocket yet. i think one of his key things, unemployment in the hispani

dollars and keeps the military funded throughout the end of the year but the bill is essentially dead on arrival as the white house has made it clear that they will veto that legislation and it does seem to me like republican speaker boehner seems to be in a bit of a tough position he's facing a caucus that he can't get control and a caucus that essentially shows very little sign an interest in compromising now a new poll that came out today as an n.b.c. wall street journal poll shows that sixty eight percent of tea partiers and fifty six percent of republicans do not want a compromise and all of those folks would in fact some port a government shutdown and quite frankly judging by recent developments or lack thereof it looks like they may just get their way now there is very little optimism coming from senate majority leader harry reid today when he spoke on the senate floor this morning take a look. the numbers are basically there but i am not as nearly as our commitment and that's an understatement as i was on hours ago the numbers are extremely close or differences are no longer over how much so huge we

got to the white house, and bill clinton trusted me to take care of him and his family, and, you know from there you just proceed. i mean, what do i plan to do? i have a concierge practice, so i'm a entrepreneur. i think i can expand it if i want to, but then i want to write more books and other things. and can then i was in honolulu recently and one of the judges said, well, why don't you run for office? i said, can i run for governor of hawaii? i know it's been done. my husband said, you probably have to live there. so i said, why can't i telecommute?
