mark snider, her deputy worked for senator edward kennedy of massachusetts on everything u.s./latin american issues. in congress, representative dawn frazier chaired the first congressional hearings on human rights in 1973. helping him were among others top harken, michael harrington, toy moffitt, george miller in the house and kennedy and george mcgovern in the senate. these were all democrats. which cut off aid to any government that grossly violated human rights unless the president determined that such aid would directly benefit the needy. the following year, teddy kennedy directly targeted chile, marking the first time the congress ended military aid to another government because of human rights. one chilean magazine called kennedy the most dangerous foreign adversary of the pinochet regime. letelier worked in this environment at the institute for policy studies, one of the most influential human rights organizations in the country. he met with top state department officials. he taught at american university. he lunched with senators. angela davis once came to his house.

we had the deregulation of trucking which president carter supported, senator edward kennedy supported. the deregulation movement was bipartisan. thehave republicans in gerald ford of administration and the ronald reagan administration supporting it and you had ralph nader who was not a partisan figure at that stage and is not a supporter of either party now but ralph nader argued that deregulation would be better for consumers. i think that has proven to be true. that hashe one affected most americans in many ways, airline deregulation. we used to have the days of little silver salt and pepper shakers and airports but the price was so high that the majority of americans could not afford going on a plane. if you ever have been at the orlando airport, get the idea that there are a lot of americans that can afford a family vacation by aircraft and that is thanks to deregulation. that is an achievement that president carter can take pride in. host: chapter 14 is a surprising new political battleground in the midwest and you make the following point that of the 100 electoral votes that swi

we had the deregulation of trucking, which president carter supported, which senator edward kennedy supported. the deregulation movement was bipartisan. you had republicans in the gerald ford administration and then in the ronald reagan administration supporting it. and you had ralph nader who was not a partisan figure at that stage and is not really a supporter of either party now, but ralph nader argued that deregulation would be better for consumers. and i think that has proved to be true. you know, we've had perhaps the one that's affected most americans in many ways, airline deregulation. you know, we used to have the days of cloth, table cloths in the airlines and little silver salt and pepper shakers, but the price of fares was so much that the great majority of americans really couldn't afford family vacations, going on a plane these days. if you have ever been at the orlando airport, you will get an idea that there's a lot of americans who can afford a family vacation by aircraft today. that's thanks to deregulation, but it squeezed out costs in transportation everything that we buy.

and so, my question -- you know, and this report makes clear, you know, that the edward m. kennedy service act authorized four times as many positions as are funded. so as you redesign the architecture of national community service in the way that you've proposed, do you have a strategy for closing that gap between authorization and appropriation? >> yes. i continue to struggle with the mike. we do. i don't know if it's the perfect answer but one of the ways we look at this is because there's that gap we do have serviceyear.org. so we do want a way we can move forward and experience growth even if we're not seeing it on the federal level. i think one of the ways we drafted our legislation, because it is going to be at the end of the day very much tied to a reauthorization of ameri corp. but the focus on the communities and that demand and raising their hand and providing incentives on the community level. we see that as a first step to get towards that growth. by no means do we have the complete answer but we think it's starting at the local level and growth through our service yea

. >> the political environment in the country where senator edward m. kennedy, was about to challenge president carter where were you involved in iran? >> i was very much involved. i was involved in trying to develop an energy policy because of the cut off of iranian oil. it's very important to understand, the notion that we left the shah to his own devices is not true. we said, you have two options. a military government or a coalition government with the second international front. we backed every effort made to put down the demonstrations and we sent a three-star general two weeks before the shah left to but got the military, to support his, the shah's, prime minister. we tried to get them to put down these demonstrations. at every step, there was an effort to save the shah, or, when it was clear he could not be, to make sure khomeini did not take over. >> did you realize this would into for more than a year? >> no one knew it. the prime minister, khomeini's own prime minister, and the foreign minister both said to us, the administration this is going to be
