before i turn over to dennis i want to read three quick quotes from dennis that i think again somewhatdefine his views and also set the stage for hopefully some of what he's going to talk about. so, dennis, the website says the mission and vision of nea absolutely defines who i am and what i care about and what i believe in. what a powerful statement for any organization to say that the reason that we exist is to fulfill the promise of public education and not just for some but for every -- to prepare every student to succeed. i'm proud of that and i want to continue that journey. dennis also said on september 30 if when he testified before the house education and labor committee that nea's visiones for a great public school for every student. he went on to say though unfortunately, the intense attention of nea members to many students do not enjoy the benefits of a great public school because the schools are often chronically underfunded, understaffed and unsupported and this is simply unacceptable. and the last quote i will read is about an issue that has been a little bit controvers

i think dennis l. blair house function. it could be an escape, and a place for privacy where things were not overcome. the president could relax in front of a warm fire with an ice and brandy and talk over difficult issues and get good, sound advice as well as a sympathetic shoulder. he was just a boy and remembers abraham lincoln sitting in his father's study of the blair front entrance, deep in conversation with their feet propped up on the fireplace mantel. confidences were still share. there was a closeness. and certainly the night robert e. lee was invited by makori blair and his father to dinner at blair house -- over dinner at the blair and dining room table and continuing into the study with cigars and wine. they offered the command of the union army to robert e. lee in blair house. fedders testimony to the blair family influence in power. >> there are large engravings of president lincoln and his cabinet. the oldest blair's son served in lincoln's capital. mccormick is standing on the far right in that image. it wa

the president has been updated a couple of more times by top aides john brennan and dennis mcdonough. they're giving the president paper updates about the situation on the ground. we're told the president has gotten some sort of document briefing him from the situation room sending it here to hawaii so the president can then stay abreast of the situation. we're also told sometime around dinnertime, the president is going to get another update from the situation room back at the white house, a paper document to brief him on what federal authorities know up to the minute. and important to note what do those authorities know? what are they telling the president? we're told by a senior administration official the president has been told that officials believe this was an attempted terror attack, that essentially did not happen in terms of being terror. it was an attempted one. obviously there were some injuries and some concerns there on the ground. but as you noted earlier, the plane landed safely. the reason why the president increasing these aviation security measures is that we're tol

into the finished product where all you see is the final law of the land which obviously is what dennis survives this court but it's nice to see the dynamics that produced it. >> host: it is a treasure trove, you are a journalist and historian and you are doing both things in books like this. tell me about the fact that once in a while justice scalia's opinions would be sharply critical of his colleagues. somewhat disdainful perhaps. and you mentioned as someone pointed out, in your book i can't recall who, says there is sarcasm from time to time. tell us about that. was that true? and did it alienates his colleagues? >> guest: it did in some respects, but they came to embrace it >> host: you do it long enough and you can get away with it or because you smile? [laughter] >> guest: you know, as justice ruth bader ginsburg one of his closest friends said i love me know but i could strangle him.

dennis also said,"nea's vision is for great public school for any student.tment of members, too many students in communities do not enjoy the benefits of a great public school because their schools are often chronically underfunded, understaffed, and others supported. this is simply unacceptable." one issue that has been controversial in the education committee and dennis said desk," the time to fix the flaw of education law has,. we cannot afford to start another school year beginning with the unintended consequences of a lot that is schools and students based on standardized test scores and a narrow curriculum at the expense of students with 21st century skills." that is the backdrop but i will turn over to the president of the nea.

host: florida, dennis on the independent line. caller: good morning. i got a comment. think c-span is the pantheon of cable television. what i wanted to ask mr. korb is, how can you sit there and tell us we need to cut back on defense spending and making all of these remarks when you oversaw one of the largest military expansions in probably the last decade or generation with the star wars and the military expansion under reagan -- what happened to the star wars initiative? so you are sitting there telling us we need to cut back on spending and is and that and, sir, you were in the forefront of the biggest military spending we have seen. host: let's get a response. guest: in the first reagan ministration we did increase defense spending significantly because of the 1970's we let it go down drastically. a lot of the bill but was for military pay. i was response will form manpower -- with a pay raise to the troops because they have been falling apart. we gave them housing allowances key to the areas you live in rather than being the same for the whole country. after we d

the house clerk began to take on some of those services with some of his folks, and during denny hastert'se distinguished historian, a scholar of jackson that would play the early theperiod. -- the early national period. he would write the history, but was appointed historian about the time the book was completed. he remains house historian to this day. he is not there very often, as i understand. in the meantime, the house has created wonderful office of history and preservation, headed by elliot that you have had on c-span from time to time. she is the curator, there is the archivist. there is a first-class historian and writer. they have a very nice office. they're doing a lot of the things at my office was doing. i am happy to see that the house has paid attention to its history. >> last quesiton. how long -- question. how long will you keep doing this? >> as long as i can. i have a few more books in a trade and might take up what you suggest and to do something about my years as house historian. i also thank my publisher that did the booker t. washington book. they have been talking a

i think dennis l. blair house function. it could be an escape, and a place for privacy where things were not overcome. the president could relax in front of a warm fire with an ice and brandy and talk over difficult issues and get good, sound advice as well as a sympathetic shoulder. he was just a boy and remembers abraham lincoln sitting in his father's study of the blair front entrance, deep in conversation with their feet propped up on the fireplace mantel. confidences were still share. there was a closeness. and certainly the night robert e. lee was invited by makori blair and his father to dinner at blair house -- over dinner at the blair and dining room table and continuing into the study with cigars and wine. they offered the command of the union army to robert e. lee in blair house. fedders testimony to the blair family influence in power. >> there are large engravings of president lincoln and his cabinet. the oldest blair's son served in lincoln's capital. mccormick is standing on the far right in that image. it wa

as noted in a recent article co-authored by dennis smith and former deputy general counsel of the department of health and human services, peter urbana wets requiring a person to purchase health insurance could be considered an arbitrary and capricious taking the matter how many hard ship exemptions the federal government might dispensed. some of my colleagues also may be familiar with david rifkin and lehane kayce freed there washington d.c.-based attorney served in the department of justice during the reagan and bush administrations. in september were of ken and casey published in of hid in "the wall street journal" entitled mandatory insurance is on constitutional. i urge my colleagues to read this article and others i will be submitting for the record. in the op-ed rifkin and casey argued the health insurance mandate, and i quote, would expand the federal government authority over individual americans to an unprecedented degree. it also is profoundly and constitutional making healthy adults pay billions of dollars with premiums into the national health care market is the only way to fund

in november of 2005 i led the effort, along with senator kennedy dennis senator enzi, and without theenzi led an unprecedented effort to establish basically a plan for the 300,000 children that had been displaced from the storm in the week of august 29, which is approaching soon, to try to find them a school somewhere in america where they could start school on a monday, the following monday, because children who are out of school have to skip a whole year. under their extraordinary leadership bear plan was implemented and basically provided -- their plan was implemented and basically provided vouchers for children to attend school for that year and as a result of the katrina class graduated, many of them. this was one time, though. my question, mr. fugate, are you going to recommend a continuation of the plan, and if so, how, and if not, what plan is going to put in place of the next time a catastrophic disaster happens? >> again, that is one of the issues we want to raise with the childrens' working group. in florida, our experience was, when we looked at fremont registration, 25,00
