dr. randolph what do you do? >> guest: i direct the history program and i have 45 historians working for me most of them ph.d. historians from predominantly diplomatic history and area studies backgrounds. we have a series of missions. the one that brings you here i think today is that we published the foreign relations of the united states series but just to make sure we understand the context the other third of the office do historical analyses in support of policymaking at the state department into the normal official history aspects of documented history of the department. so incredibly productive and interesting work that i get to do. the foreign relations series began in 1961 actually with the request from congress were some of the documentation associated with the diplomacy of the opening of the civil war and its continued ever since then which is a series of incredible miracles i think that the series has survived and matured as it has. we operate now under a law passed in 1991 in the immediate aftermath
