here is another one in the dutch, dutch euthanasia according to santorum.t is rick santorum said that has the dutch z mad. i want you to pay special attention to the gasps of shock and horror coming from the crowd as he talks. >> the netherlands, people wear different bracelets if you're elderly and the bracelet is do not euthanize me. because they have voluntary euthanasia in the netherlands. but half the people who are euthanized every year and 10% of all deaths in the netherlands, half of the people are euthanized involuntarily at hospitals. because they are older and sick. and so elderly people in the netherlands don't go to the hospital. they go to another country because they are afraid because of budget purposes that they will not come out of that hospital if they go in there with sickness. >> mr. santorum says that is where we are heading now, too as a nation now that we had national health reform. none of the things he said are true. none of them. we will veer frify that in a mo. he has a politician demanding the dutch ambassador to the united stat

now we've got the dutch mad at us. >> do not euthanize. >> we know candidate in dutch is candidot. my late grandmother would smack me upside the head for that prenunsiation, i'm sure. i have been watching dutch news videos and reading translations all day. because the dutch are mad at us. they are not a people given to getting mad over nothing. they are mad at us right now because of rick santorum. he's been saying a thing on the campaign trail about the dutch, right wing watch posted video of him saying it. it got fact checked by "the washington post's" fact checker with be picked up in the dutch press and the thing rick santorum is saying about dutch people has become an issue in their national politics. this was the headline on buzzfeed yesterday. santorum royals dutch politics, which almost sounds dirty. you can tell they're mad, even if you don't speak dutch. when you get it translated by your staff member who's dutch then it all comes into focus. rick santorum thinks he knows the netherlands, murder of the elderly on a grand scale. here's another one in the dutch. right? and

i'll start with some facts and figures, then the benefits for the society, the dutch dutch. how we do it in the netherlands and then i go deeper into bicycle infrastructure. that's the main reason for this workshop and also the main argument for using bicycle or not using bicycle. i go briefly into enforcement in education and i come up with some conclusions. bike ownership in the netherlands and other european countries. i don't have the u.s. figures here. i have to go to my notes. but you can see the netherlands is top in europe as it comes tobacco ownership. we have more -- to bicycle ownership. we have more bicycles than people. so you can imagine how many bikes there are. you can find them on every street, every street corner. denmark is very good. second. and then you see it all the way down to spain. oops, now i see a mistake in my slide. uh, where -- if you compare the netherlands with other cities, we have 27% bike share. so this is the use. we own many bikes but we use them a lot as well. we use -- 27% of our trims are made by bicycle, average in the netherlands. d

big thanks for jennifer with the dutch consulate. i was fortunate to spend eight months in the netherlands, and we got to test ride the thing that many of you have been working on for some many years. we have this idea, a belief that san francisco can be a great bicycling city, internationally recognized. sometimes that vision gets challenged and that belief and waver a bit, i will be honest wit. my time in amsterdam, i could test that vision. is if all i make it out to be when i talk to folks. what i saw and what i experienced let me feeling without a doubt that you have succeeded in a way that is amazingly admirable, and in a way that we should be striving for here in san francisco. and most importantly, that i know we can reach. that was my biggest take away. there is a wonderful presentation of all of the elements, many of the elements they are using to make the netherlands said world-renowned bicycling environment. i saw that san francisco has some many of these elements already in place. we are so far down the line, what we nee

we're not asking the dutch to help us with all 100 miles. i think we've given you three or five miles or so. we will take it, we will take the five miles. and this is why we're doing it. in conclusion, the reason i know that we can do what the netherlands has done, perhaps even better, is we have the same kind of investment. we know we're doing it for the next generation. we know that we need to do these things to make sure we're leaving san francisco a better place than how we've found it. i want to say we have all the elements in place -- the political support, the city leadership, the public enthusiasm has never been greater. the economic need has never been greater, whether it be a need to drive tourism greater in our city or a need to accommodate the population growth. we have the urgency in front of us, as well. i will end by saying i am thrilled and proud that san francisco is such a good bicycling city. we can be a great bicycling city. we look forward to your help. i want to invite everyone here, please come and invite friends to to

>> i began to write on the computer halfway through "dutch." >> and when you were writing "dutch" had you already done a significant amount of your second roosevelt book? >> i'd done -- yes. i'd done, oh, about seven chapters. which i completely rewrote 15 years later when i wenthanged a by then. and so "theodore rex" which followed "dutch" was more or less a new book. >> how had you changed as a writer? >> well, i think i was just that much older and wiser. when i started "theodore rex" i was not very hip as a student of presidential politics. therefore, i found it very difficult to write a book about his presidency when i really didn't understand the white house. but having spent all those years in reagan's white house and seen the presidency in operation, i could go back to "theodore rex" and rewrite it from the point of view of somebody who had seen ow power works and gotten to presidency. >> we talked a lot about your being around ronald reagan. did you ever total up the number of days that you were in the white house during that last term of his? >> no, i didn't. met i ca freely

. >> back in 1999 i think maybe the last time we talked, i'm not sure, was your reagan book "dutch" i asked you, we've got some video of that moment, i asked you about the early introduction to thee theodore roosevelt, let's watch. >> there's a preliminary apprehension of him when i'm a small boy. at the age of 10 i looked at the history of nairobi that was published to celebrate the 50th anniversary, and it had this historic photograph of president theodore roosevelt heading to nairobi, kenya, in 1909 on his great safari. i remember identifying as a small boy with that picture. the smile, the snarl, the spectacles. there's something about him that affected me. and a quarter of a century later, i ended up writing his biography. >> when is your second edition of the three-parter on theodore roosevelt going to come out? >> it's going to have to come out on september the 14th, 2001, because that will be the centennial of his inauguration as mckinley's successor. >> are you on time this time also with the third book? >> i was just thinking thank god it did not come out on september 14th,

he was just like one of the teenagers, double dutch jump roping. so i have so many fond memories of john glenn and the role model that he has been for me as a senator. sometimes it seems the more we learn about the great reaches of the heavens, the more we have left to learn. so much left to learn. space travel taught us as much about the planet at home as much as about the mystery that lies beyond. and for that we have these four pioneers to thank. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> ladies and gentlemen, the speaker of the house of representatives, the honorable john boehner. >> well, i think i'm going to say what i think everybody is thinking. this is pretty cool. when the prime minister of australia addressed the congress last march, she said that as a little girl watching the men land on the moon proved to her that americans could do anything. she grew up in adelaide, east of perth. it was a small city whose residents turn all their lights on to greet john glenn the night he flew back across australia. the world looks to america because we ar
