in many respects we owe the war resolution to cambodia. it was at this moment, amid the super heated atmosphere that nixon called the chiefs to chastise them for not acting more exquisitely against the nation's domestic enemies. it would be appropriate to raise this issue against foreign enemies, as the relationship between fbi and cia has caused some strain. something we heard again after 9/11, didn't we? it's been going on for decades. like johnson nixon was convinced that the anti-war movement was led and inspired by communist agents. the solution to the lack of cooperation that nixon saw among the intelligence agencies was later known as the hosten plan. after the white house aide who wrote it at nixon's direction. the plan called for the centralization of domestic intelligence activities inside the white house and involved aggressive illegal measures, such as break-ins, to combat domestic protests. when hoover objected -- fbi that's j. edgar hoover objecting. don't know if that made it into the clint eastwood movie. he objected to thi

troops to invade border regions in cambodia to eliminate the sanctuaries. as was characteristic of all his strategies, this was all planned in secret. he shared his plans with very few people, except kissinger, his national security adviser. he could not see how much crisis management the invasion would impose on his administration. universities shut down in protest and several of kissinger's aides resigned. under considerable pressure, there's a lot of evidence that nixon began to act erratically. the invasion of cambodia was perceived, not without cause, as a major expansion of war. backlash and protests as a result of the invasion was the turning point that gave significant credibility and impotus to efforts. it was at this moment, amid the super heated atmosphere that nixon called the chiefs to chastise them for not acting more exquisitely against the nation's domestic enemies. it would be appropriate to raise this issue against foreign enemies, as the relationship between fbi and cia has caused some strain. something we heard again after 9/11, didn't w

it's because cambodia is very close to countries which are now engaging in mass tourism for the first time, china being one, south korea being another, massive numbers of tourists from those countries are coming in here, and they have to get a grip on it very quickly. among other topics, they'll be talking about that over the next few days. >> and in terms of actual damage of all this foot fall, if we can call it, do we see signs of it? is it evident? >> you know, the archaeologists, the experts, are terrifically concerned about this, and over the years, you've seen how things have changed, where there used to be exposed stones, there are now wooden cases covering it. there's one temple where you're no longer allowed up if there's a certain number of people are up there. the temples are very strong. they've lasted 1,000 years, but they weren't built for three million tourists a year. >> amateur astronomers have been watching a pretty rare event. the planet venus is in perfect alignment with the earth and the sun. our science correspondent has been doing his best to peer through clouds

this poaching vessel is an old and battered japanese schooner flying the flag of cambodia. poaches often register their vessels in small asian countries which agreed to register any ship no matter how the latter dated it might be. clear that the satellite report is correct the hole contains around seventeen tons of young crabs they will have to be released back into the sea the captain has no permission to fish in russian territorial waters. what do you expect me to do i see no point in taking the blame and doing somebody else a favor in the process. is packed full even if the catch is legal it's not allowed to catch crabs in such huge quantities scales are brought out to check the exact weight of the contraband. finally the border guards tell the captain of the trespassing ship to release the crabs into the sea. to a designated depth where they can survive in a natural environment. biologists are going to examine the crabs to determine which part of the sea they came from. find out whether or not the catch originated from russian tourists or real waters and if it was permi

i was reading last night about a wonderful woman in cambodia because i traveled in that country and learned a little bit. she is out there listening, isn't she? just to give me a quick thumbnail. >> as you know, this book is really trying to bring forth a new leadership model -- five core principles. the second principle is deep roots in the community. >> do the five, real quick. >> you have to have a driving force, sense of mission, you have to be deeply steeped in the community and understand the people you are leading, you need to be of across lines that typically divide -- you have to work with the people that actually does agreed to break through sustainable change. you need to take the bold ideas and turn them into bold actions. it is wanting to have really bold ideas. i thing women are so good at this -- we did not get enough credit for this. women think totally outside of the box because we do not know what the box looks like. we have never been inside the box, for the most part. then and resolve to pay a forward. that is just about how you get back and mentor others. women tell me

following the collapse of cambodia and the fall of saigon. he was also able to focus the attention of the world and his country on other important matters. he persuaded israel and egypt to accept an interim truce agreement, the first ever for the two countries. he was the first president to begin to emphasize the need for regulatory reform. and the first president to call for a national energy policy. he was an early supporter of majority rule in south africa. and he was a strong proponent of equal rights for women. did he accomplish everything that he set out to accomplish? no. but he reversed our course and he moved the country forward against strong and difficult headwinds. if there is a tragedy in president ford's brief term as president, it is not based on anything that he did while he was in the white house. nor is it based on anything that he didn't do. nor, the tragedy of president ford's service is that the american people did not give him a full term in office. had they done so, i'm sure that his already sizable footprint in america

commission we have a joint commission with russia on that and we visit recovery sites recently i was in cambodia i went to a recovery site where the four young american soldiers went down in during vietnam and they were working to recover those remains we also visit china to try to get assistance from the chinese government as well so we are very very active in this issue we take it very very seriously and of course the purpose is to get closure to many families who have lost loved ones of world war two to the present so so you do really would collect on the ground really is the country do we do every country they have to visit with well we we visit taiwan we visit china we visit russia and primarily those countries and of course we also visit southeast asia where the actual many of the vietnam. remains still there and but of course we're also interested in world war two and korea as well we'd like to get into north korea possibly your government might be able to help us do that then i outgrew that the russian the russian official rest of the fish was they they volunteered to be a sort of a midd

i mean some places in kenya, some places in cambodia have done a better job with education, in china, than they have here in the u.s. and that's kind of embarrassing considering we have such experts here and wealth and -- and i would like to draw on the experience of china. i know a lot of people think that china is run by dictators, they have done terrible thing to the dissidents, but they also have done something remarkable. just 20 years ago we were talking about the year of the woman. 20 years ago, most of the people in china were in poverty and they were under a communist society. so not only did they have to come back with an economic challenge, but they also had a political challenge and a social challenge. certainly the government can set certain goals, but really what happens is it's done at a local level. there's a lot of bureaucracy in china, and the u.s. is still full of brewer rourke si. if you try to change things, you keep bumping up against it. but 20 years ago they said that education was really critical. because if we can educate our girls, even if they can just get

he has advised the constitutional creation process of many foreign countries, including cambodia, muldova, ukraine, and the czech republic. he is the 11th most cited law professor in the united states, and that's a little dated. i suspect it's higher than 11 by now, but that was from a couple of years ago. also, commissioner of the fair political practices commission of the state of california. won't you join me in welcoming professor rob rotunda? [ applause ] >> thank you, tom. i wish my mother-in-law were here. today we talk about lawyers. in fact, i'm not a subtle person, but this is a subtle bow tie. unusual for me. it shows sharks carrying briefcases. that's what -- that's what people think about lawyers. lawyers cause problems. but they also solve them. that's why it's my pleasure to introduce john dean. he earned his j.d. from georgetown in 1965, and in the next five years he became a chief minority counsel to the house judiciary committee, the associate deputy attorney general to the united states, and president nixon appointed him as counsel to the president in july 1970 at age 3

in cambodia under the khmer rouge, in iran under the told, in iraq under saddam hussein, under milosevic in bosnia. as i had said many times before, the cuban people are no less deserving of american's support in the millions who were imprisoned and forgotten in soviet gulags, left to die for nothing more than a simple expression of dissent. i am compelled to act again as i did before. why is there such an obvious double standard when it comes to cuba? where the gulags of cuba different from the gulags of the old soviet union? where we listening them when it comes to an equally oppressive regime inside cuba? why are we willing to throw our hands and say, it is time to forget? it is not time to forget. we can never forget those who have suffered and died at the hands of dictators, not in iran, cuba, not anywhere. it is clear the repression continues unabated. notwithstanding all the cause to ease travel restrictions, notwithstanding millions of visitors from across the globe, notwithstanding greater resources this regime has now in terms of currency. now -- not with countin that hap the r
