hearings not just on the general problem of racial profiling, but on a bill introduced by senator ben calvin of maryland last fall to end racial profiling act and this act bans racial profiling by federal law enforcement and by local law enforcement and enforces that band through suits that the department of justice is authorized to bring and private individuals are authorized to bring and there are attorneys fees to plaintiffs and it enforces the band by cutting off any funding for state or local law enforcement agents that don't comply with the mandate to end racial profiling and the commands all law enforcement agencies to keep statistics to gather data so that we can tell whether they're, in fact, making decisions that are based on race for conscious or unconscious reasons. isn't that the way forward? >> that's -- so, there have been -- this bill has been introduced many times and it has not yet passed maybe 2012 will be a charm here, but there are a lot of states and local governments that already collect this information about 21 states are under statutory mandates to collect the infor

it's not every day you think of calvin coolidge as a source of inspiration. but i always like to recall what he has to say about persistence. i think it's not a bad message for the add yens today. the president said, nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful men than talent. jen use will not. unrewarded jen use is almost a proverb. education will not. the world is full of educated derelicts. persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. the slogan "press on" has solved, and always will solve the problems of the human race. so colleagues and friends, we must press on. we have no easy task ahead of us. we must simply press on. we have far to go, and there are problems that we cannot anticipate, certainly in this job over the last three years there have been many problems that i did not anticipate. but we continued to press on. make no mistake, the arc of nuclear history is bending downwards. i'm quite sure of that. i look forward to your comments and questions, and thank you very much
