you look at a job corps program.has been a failure in terms of objective, because teenage unemployment is higher now than when job corps started. no, it just means that the job corps was too small. it's too small now and was too small then. the job corps works, it's a success. it's an american success. it's a good investment. for every dollar that the taxpayer puts into the job corps, the taxpayer gets back about $1.48. so it's like investing in the stock market or putting your money in a bank. we're getting money back. the job corps does not add to the deficit of the united states, it reduces the deficit. congressional republicans and democrats joined to reject the reagan abolition attempt and give the job corps a new lease on life. 40,500 job corps trainees a year were a good investment, congress felt, in the battle against poverty. we asked analyst richard gill what economists think of the job corps and the war on poverty. the main lesson we can learn is that reducing hardcore poverty, even in the so-called "afflu

so he floated the idea of a peace corps. he didn't use that term but floated the idea saying to them if you are a doctor or an engineer, or a technician, would you be willing to go abroad for a year or two and help people in other countries and that would help the cause of democracy worldwide. and he went on and said that the people didn't go to school, college just to get better -- do financially better in their life but to do something for the world. how many of you who are going to be doctors are willing to spend your days in ghana, technicians or engineers, how many of you are willing to work in the foreign service and spend your lives traveling around the world. your willing business to do that, or merely serve a year or two in the service but on your willingness to contribute part of your life to this country, i think will depend the answer of whether a free society can. i think it can and i think americans are willing to contribute. but the effort must be -- than we've ever made it in the past. >> that may have been t

sort of like kennedy did with the peace corp speech. he once mentioned michigan when he was talking about education because i read over the speech. he wasn't partisan either in the speech. he was trying to be a statesman. i think it is interesting that both of these major events that are part of our national history and a major part of their programs and what they did, that they happened here. i don't think it was an accident. michigan, the university of michigan is certainly known for young people who care about the world and has a prtradition of always having lots of discussion and opinions. and they knew that they would get a good response. >> throughout the weekend, american history tv is featuring ann arbor, michigan. our local content vehicles recently traveled there to learn about it's rich history. learn more online. you are watching american history tv all weekend every weekend on c-span3. >> from 1979 to 2001 fbi agent robert hanssen told top secret information to soviet and russian television agencies. next former fbi agent,

he went over 20 years in the marine corps last week. it could be his first time being there and last time. i took my wife and son back to columbia where my mom and dad and jackie's mom were and put them in an apartment. we went from travis air force base to what i thought was going to be iwankanichi, japan. i brought my dress drawers and a trunk. i landed, and they said, squadron, that's yesterday. take your trunk, go over to the hanger, and get out enough underwear and flight suits for a month. because you are going south. i said going south where? they said, can't tell you. when i called my wife, she said, what's this secret airbase? i said what are you talking about? she said it is on the cover of "time" magazine. i ened up in the jungle. the c.d.'s had gone in and cleared all the cobras and the jungle out. the air force had started putting in a runway for the f- 111, but could never get it to run the way they wanted it, so they abandoned it. they gave us an extra 1,000 strip, and we lived there for a year. >> i'll come back to the p

university of michigan was very high at least on the number of graduates that went into the peace corps and used to do training here in the early years. they used this as a training spot. so there's a lot of ownership let's say. >> members of the graduating class, my fellow americans, it is a great pleasure to be here today. this university has been -- >> we're in the university of michigan stadium. this is where president johnson announced the great society program which was his major plan for improving the country. he gave it at the 1964 commencement. it was may 22nd, six months after kennedy was shot. johnson had just been in office for six months, and he would be running for election, his first time to be elected president, and this was seen by him and his staff as a good time to roll out this program that was going to be his touchstone of what he wanted to do with the presidency. and it would be a big audience and in fact, it was a huge audience. it wasn't just students, faculty and parents. they had school kids from all over the state just all kinds of dignitaries came. the whole

the army corps of engineers has been around since the very earliest days of our democracy. the army corps has been responsible for the waterways of america and the water resources reform and development act is going to be an opportunity for america to really move its infrastructure, particularly the trade, remember, just review, we're talking 13 million jobs immediately depend upon the water resource reform act. we're talking about 99% of our trade travels through our ports and waterways, whether it's on the mississippi, the sacramento, the san joaquin rivers or the great ports and the water -- and the coastal part of america. it's critically important. and as we do these things, we have the opportunity to reach back into the history of america and remember what the founding fathers talked about way back in george washington's very early days. that these fundamental investments in what they called canals, ports and roads, were critical to the growth of the united states at the very, very outset. and george washington and alexander hamilton also recognized the importance of

life in the peace corps will not be easy. and women will be expected to work and live alongside the nationals of the country in which they are stationed, doing the same work, eating the same food, talking the same language. but if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying, for every young american who participates in the peace corps, who works in a foreign land, will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of preening to man that decent way of life, which is the foundation of freedom nd a condition of peace. >> above the hills of time the cross is gleaming fair as the sun when night has turned to day and from it loves pure light is richly streaming to cleanse the heart and banish sin away to this dear cross the eyes of men are turning, today as in the ages lost to ight for thee, o christ ur hearts are yearning as shipwrecked seamen yearn for morning light the cross, o christ hy wondrous love revealing awakes our hearts s with the light of morn and pardon o'er ur sinful spirits stealing tells us

your marine corps is ready today. in order to maintain readiness within the current fiscal environment, we are mortgages the readiness of tomorrow's marine corps to do so. we are ready today because your marines are resilient and determined to defend the united states of america. despite year after year continuing resolutions, the budget control act, furloughs and the government shutdown, the monday and women who wear my cloth are patriots first. the defense of our fellow americans and our way of life is our number one priority, even over the comforts of self. last month's furlough of more than 14,000 of our civilian marines was a grave disservice to an honorable and dedicated workforce who wants nothing more than to advance the security of the american people. our civilian marines are a vital part of our team. they are the technicians, the experts, the teachers, the clerks in our commissaries and our exchanges. they are our corporate memory. they are our surge capacity or depots who provide unique skills in support o

certainly his legacy is creating the peace corp. is the presidency that was about image and there are a lot of unanswered questions. would they have escalated the war in vietnam. would they have left the conflict to the country to deal with. that's a lot that's unknown. a lot will never be known. he won on charisma and the fact he looked good on television. he reminds me a lot of the current president, in the way he won his presidency. >> he is seen as a clear eye cold warrior. what explains kennedy's ability to be all things to call people? >> i don't know if he was all things to all people. in different parts of the presidency he had appeal to the liberals. he was a pragmatist. that came through about him. he could govern the country in a different way. it wasn't just all ideological. i think there is something else about him that i have never gotten over. he just transformed the way the country felt about itself. he transformed the way we felt about him. he transformed the way we felt about ourselves. we saw this man come out. it

. -- there was a lot of problems with his paperwork when he got out of the marine corps. and he wasn't a very aggressive person.

he thought of the idea of a peace corps. he floated the idea saying to them if you are a doctor or engineer or a technician, would you be willing to go abroad for a year or two and help people with other countries and that would help the cause worldwide. he went on and said that people didn't go to school or college just to get better in their life, but to do something for the world. how many of you who are going to be doctors are willing to spend your days in ghana, technicians or engineers, how many are you are willing to work in the foreign service and spend your lives trailing around the world? on your willingness to do that, i'm willing to serve one or two years in the service, on your willingness to contribute part of your to this country, i think it's whether a free society can. i think americans are willing to contribute. in the end it must be far greater than we ever made it in the past. >> that might have been the end of it except that there were people in the audience, particularly a married couple who decided to

the problem unfortunately is in 2006, the federal deposit insurance corp. essentially speaking for all the regulators, the federal reserve, the fdic and others, said that more than 99% of american banks were highly capitalized in the highest of standards. it would have been very difficult to make any form of legislation that would have raised the capital requirements. and so the problem basically is if you are sitting there as a central banker knowing that you have just been through, from 1983 to 2005, 2006, eight period of extraordinary stability and the euphoria is starting to build, because it's not altogether crazy to believe that this long period of stability, that the next six months are going to be stable. it's not craziness. the problem unfortunately is what happens is the system will break down. it will not only break down but an unnecessary condition for when it breaks down is that nobody expects it to happen. there aren't awful lot of people who are out there saying you know we forecast -- with a forecast is what everybody forecast. we were in a

for us, but is it that this cream court press corps gets? they get preferential seating on the side of the court during the arguments. .hey get guaranteed access they give conference lists of the cases that will be considered. you can actually get that through supreme court's docket. it is more a question of -- and i do think it is significant in the sense -- the supreme court is a signal or to other institutions. its decision about whether blogs deserve recognition is for that reason significant. also has first amendment implications. the court is aware that if we are eventually denied a credential we will sue. >> scotus blog versus scotus. i have said facetiously that i would like to sue because of that title. we are committed to the principle that we deserve it, and they will decide whatever they think is right. there is a lot of debate that we belong on the right side of the line. the question of where to draw the line, they have to create a policy. so it is a challenge to them to draw a line that is sensible. ofcan get many thousands vi

and in those days, president kennedy had just announced really the peace corps. i had been inspired to try to join, and i september in my application. and then i received -- when i received my acceptance letter, was the next week and it was dated november 22nd, 1963. it was just a huge moment for me. and that was what i think was so much of his legacy was this inspiration to service. he made the world a much bigger globe for so many young americans. and his vision inspired us to go forth and to serve. >> john, i don't know how old you were, but you must have been a little kid. >> i was a week shy i have three months. my mom used to tell me that she was in the house when they heard the news and that i spent most of the day on her lap as she watched walter cronkite. she would say that i was a bit of a distraction during the day, perhaps helpful in that. but for the generation that wasn't alive, that doesn't have the memory, i think we grew up in the myth of john f. kennedy. i don't mean that in a negative way at all. if you're irish catholic kid and you grew up in
