my two best friends were headed to the marine corps. vietnam was still going on and what made a pact that would finish the prayer going to live in close proximity to each other and run a year and bait shop. that was our aspiration when we were 22. one of them went off and spent 37 37 years in the marine corps, incredibly successful career, lieutenant general. the other was it for successful stockbroker. after he finished his time in the marine corps, i did my time and came back and did the things that i i did. today we live within 250, 350 yards of each other on 60 acres outside of the little town called round top, population 90. halfway between houston and austin. >> how are things going? >> we decided that beer and bait store is too damn much work.

i had been at e peace corps. even lyndon johnson who had been in many of those meetings with president kennedy, m?what did he know about t and suddenly decisions were being made about issues for which there was very little time to collect the evidence. you know lyndon johnson kept saying to me, in all those years, man is no better, a man's judgement is no better than his information." b and i realieved that, and that has guided me in my journalism career the last 44 years. my opinion isn't worth a pig's ass unless i can back if youit up with evidence.g so, - you said in a couple of places, in some of the books that you have written more than a dozen books. and the thousands of hours of television that you produced. i found three references to the word atonement. where you talkedtobout a personal need to. when you said to william sloane coffin in one of the very last conversations you had with reverend coffin. you were saying you were glad that you had grown old enough to begin to account for in essence the sins o

i'm pleased the corps has allocated $91 million for funding for the critical project thus far. deepening the harbor alone does not ensure that the port of boston can accommodate these new giants of the seas. we must deepen the berths, the area where these ships dock. that's why i'm proud to secure a provision in this bill that will allow the port to con obstruct more expansive berths, and i'm pleased to have help to secure a $42 million federal grant to expand these berths. now, by no means, is boston harbor the only coastal gem in massachusetts. in 2020, we will be celebrating the 400th anniversary of the voyage of the mayflower, but the celebration won't be complete if ships can't get into and out of plymouth harbor. regrettably plymouth harbor has so much sand that ships are having difficult time navigating. and that's why i was able to secure a provision in this bill requiring the corps to dredge this important landmark for the 400th anniversary. just a few months ago, i helped secure $13.5 million needed to ensure this hallmark of american history is swiftly deepened. what

i have a laser pointer, but it doesn't go that far, but on june 18, the union ninth corps and fifth corps made assault on the -- made assaults on the last of three confederate defense lines on the eastern side of petersburg. and on the bottom of the confederate line you see a label for elliott, and next to elliott you see a salient with a couple of artillery piece icons. and that was known as elliott salient or the groom's -- p peagrom's salient. because stephen elliott, the south carolina brigadier was the defender, and peagram because richard p from, their virginia artillery operator had his cannon in that spot. elements of the ninth corps made those assaults and got within a couple of hundred yards of elliott's salient, but they failed to breach the line. salient, but they failed to breach the line. they were shielded by the role of the land. many of you have been to the crater and you will know that the topography dips down into the drainage of poor creek and that gave the attackers the shelter to get within several hundred euros of that position. and it is true that one of the regime

top cover is what they say in the marine corps. saying, okay, well i disagree with this finding, but my gut says go forward. i want a gut check with someone with more experience. right now, unless the case is extraordinarily serious, the foes tend to be first door captains, or reservists. sometimes reservists with a family court practice, or a wills and trusts practice. they are not that conversant with criminal law. if we instead say, okay, you feel strongly about that commander, let's run this up the flagpole and see what a very experienced military judge says. and then allow that to be the failsafe. and i believe that that is, would answer the problem. >> does that create in your mind problems between now you are involving the judiciary and the decisions about charging? that is a concern that i have. i do not disagree with an experienced prosecutor, i also understand there could be merit in saying that the article 32 has to be, defines no probable cause. unless finding additional evidence. where some other change in the underlyi
