director clapper, general burgess, thanks for your extraordinary leadership of the intelligence community and all you do to protect our security. director clapper, i want to go back to iran for a couple of minutes quickly. you said this morning that it's your assessment or the ic's assessment that iran has not made a decision to build a nuclear weapon. but i assume you also believe based on international atomic energy agency reports and information that the intelligence community has that -- that iran has taken sfeps to put them in a position to make a decision to break out and bld build a nuclear weapon. >> yes, sir. that's a good clarification. >> i appreciate that. >> there are also certainly things they have not yet done, which i'd be happy to discuss in closed session that would be key indicators that they have made such a decision. >> whether they have done things, is it fair to say that are inconsistent with just wanting to have peaceful nuclear energy capacity. zo >> well, the issue is the extent to which they produce a highly enriched uranium. they have produced small amounts of

general burgess, for nearly two decades submarine forces and the modernization has been something we have seen from china. to what extent do those ongoing modernization efforts and its focus on expanding its submarine force raise concerns with our navy and our ability to respond to that chinese build up? >> i think across the board, the chinese are making modernization improvements whether it is in the air force or navy and other aspects of what they are doing. they are taking a very. submarines are part of that. we, in defense and intelligence, along with the navy and others are watching that very carefully. we continue to watch their developments. >> thank you. director clapper, i want to go back to russia as i chair the european affairs sub committee and the foreign relations committee. we have been watching closely what is happening in russia now. the protests, the reaction to putin's announcement that would switch to being president again. you talked in your january testimony about putin's return to the presidency is resulting in more continuity than change. can you talk about h

feelings toward fairfax's wife, had he had no designs upon his friend's district in the house of burgesses. yet, he practiced the discretion bordering on deception. early in 1755, surveying his chances like a colonial ward healer, washington instructed the supporter in frederick county to conduct his own poll of local political opinion. quote, sound the pulse with an air of indifference and unconcern, without disclosing much of mine. in the end he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of voters still angry over his earlier impressment of horses with which to counter the french military threat. his first defeat at the polls was to prove no less instructive than the affair at jumenville glen, the humiliation of ft. necessity or the shadowy romance conducted mostly in his imagination with his best friend's wife. few men have profited more handsomely from their mistakes than george washington. as virginia and its colonial brethren renewed their efforts to expel the french, washington's preoccupation with rank, a mark of youthful insecurity, yielded to the unquestioned bravery and rapid respo

general burgess, do you agree with that statement of director clapper in his prepared statement? >> yes, sir. i think it would be very consistent with what will the vice chairman of the joint chiefs and myself along with a couple of other witnesses stated before this committee almost a year and a half ago. >> and director clapper, i understand then that what you have said and now general burgess agrees with is that they have -- that iran has not yet decided to develop nuclear weapons. is that still your assessment? >> that is the -- yes, sir, that is the intelligence community's assessment that that is an option that is still held out by the iranians and we believe the decision would be made by the supreme leader himself. and he would base that on a cost benefit analysis in terms of -- i don't think you want a nuclear weapon at any price. so that, i think, plays to the value of sanctions, particularly the recent ratcheting up of more sanctions. and anticipation that that will endeuce a chaninduce a change i their policy and behavior. >> it's the intelligence community's assessmen

as a member of the colony's house of burgesses, the future president couldn't fail to note the semi-hysterical reaction when his colleague, richard bland, proposed legislation to allow masters to voluntarily emancipate their slaves. the measure was quickly seconded by lanky idealistic tom jefferson, then in his early 20s, and just as quickly shouted down by angry lawmakers. jefferson's views would undergo considerable change over time. as he grew cautious with age, washington became uncharacteristically radical. but then, virginians like jefferson formed their opinion of the african-american on the plantation. after 1775 in particular, washington had his transformed on the battlefield. some battles were waged over tea cups in the parlor. phyllis wheatley was the african poetess whose work had won praise from voltaire and censure from jefferson. named for the slave ship that transported her from africa to boston, wheatley entered washington's life in october 1775 when she sent to the american commander a folsom tribute in verse which ended with a flattering, if inaccurate, prediction. a crown,
