always tends to lead to the next and i am also a curator so my most recent show i curated for senator bob dole and the dole institute and it was about the p.o.w. and mia wives and i traveled for four years across the country and a quarter of a one million people so i so that was exciting. peter: how do you approach the daughters of a u.s. president? is it a cold call? heath: i know some cold calls work very well. once you have written a couple of books, sometimes you have a bit of a platform, people know you and they can read your books and i often have people from my previous books reach out and just say, i have worked with her before, i think she is fair, i think she is objective, maybe we'll talk to her. that helps a lot and then i do so much research at the nixon library so they knew i was very interested in mrs. nixon and might want to write more about her but i do not think cold calls are great. i have done them when i have to but i generally like someone to introduce me or provide some reassurance to the family that i am fair and objective, as all historians should be. peter: how does p

i'm also a curator's most recent i curated was senator bob dole and the dole institute is about the powes that title for four years across the country. >> host: heath hardage lee how do you approach the daughters of u.s. president it is in a cold call? >> guest: i don't think cold calls at work very well. once you have written a couple of books you nice to have a bit of a platform. people know you. theyow can read your books and i often have people from a previous books reach out and just say i've worked with her before. i think she is fair. i think she is objective of the presidential library, at the nixon library. in the know for my previous book the league of wives i was very interested in mrs. nixon, i might write to what what to write some more about her. i don't think cold calls are great. i've done the when i have to do them but it generally likes like someone to introduce me or provide some reassurance to the family that i am objective. as all historians should be heard see what how did pat nixon get from eli nevada to southern california? >> that place where she was born is a p

tip o'neill got together, was primarily led by senator bob dole, got together with ronald reagan who was adamantly opposed to social security, but dole convinced him, no, this is the right thing to do. so what they did is they extended the solvency of social security to its current position. not as long as it should have been, but nonetheless, it was an action that went in the right direction. mr. speaker, i know you to be a man of goodwill and integrity and i hope this is something that we can bring up and work to get this done on behalf of the american people. with that, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from connecticut yields back. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. ... mr. meuser: thank you, mr. speaker. this past week house republicans passed the protection of women and girls in sports act. which ensures that biological men cannot compete in women's and girls sports. makes sense to about 99% of america. the idea that we even need a bill like this is disturbing in itself. think about t we are debating whether boys or men should compe

so he comes into the senate and you have people like ted kennedy, daniel patrick moynihan, bob dole, bill bradley, all sorts of people, john glenn, people who had really made their mark in american life in all sorts of different ways, including in the senate. so he took a seat in the far rear of the chamber where the newest members had to sit, but he immediately looked down and saw where dole was. and in his mind, he thought ahead and he thought, that's what i want to do. always had his eye on leadership then. and one of the reasons i think he eventually got there was unlike 99 out of 100 senators, he didn't want to be president. he had no desire to do that. he was fixated on that. and i think it made his strategic maneuvering easier within the senate, and it also made his path easier because he could take jobs that other people didn't want because it wasn't going to cost him in any kind of national campaign. you heard lamar alexander say you're smash him in the mouth strategy. explain what that is. and how did he apply that strategy not just to his own races? well, it's interesting

patinaud, including by bob dole in george mitchell. without objection. so ordered. congratulations to both of you on your nominations to these important offices and thank you for your willingness to serve. senator brown? >> thank you. welcome. nice to see you. thanks for holding this hearing. i look forward to hearing from the witnesses on important areas of the committee's jurisdiction. more recently, she headed that her will agree foundation for housing america's families. a report entitled the silent housing crisis that reported that safe and affordable access to housing has been recognized as part of america's critical compact with its citizens. i look forward to hearing her views, particular since her past advocacy seems at odds with the approach hud has taken in its budget proposal. included manufacturing ohio communities and we have seen the administration threatened reform and take away health insurance from 23 million people and 11 million renters pay over half their income and rent. one thing) their lives and they effectively and their children how to vote

my good friend and former senate majority leader, bob dole, summed up the reason for this legislation better than anybody else, and i quote senator dole -- many of our citizens have begun to view the senate and house of representatives not as the people's body but as an imperial congress, as an institution that considers itself above the law and without accountability. end of quote. so that double standard had to end. we had to restore confidence with the american people, and that's why i championed the congressional accountability act, to inject common sense into lawmaking. this federal law would provide that lawmakers walk in the shoes of our constituents, abiding by the same workplace rights and worker protection laws, including civil rights, age discrimination, disability, overtime pay, occupational safety, and health laws. one of my opponents during those years of trying to get this legislation passed was senator stevens of alaska. and i remember as this bill passed the united states senate and i was victorious, he came up to me and poked his finger in my chest and says, i hope y
