to see eisenhower. they thought okay, the bloom is off the rose with the kennedy administration. in eisenhower's thoughtless it is important that we support our president, especially in dangerous times. let's not become a partisan issue. >> which is very much what happened two or three weeks ago. i just have to bring this up. after george w. bush left office, the club had its protocols and traditions. he was off the grid and disappeared. he said the current president deserves my sound. it is a very classic decision. obviously his vice president did not take that approach. [laughter] when he finally broke the cover three weeks ago and made some very gently constructive criticism of obama's tax on energy policy, he said but, i don't believe our president, our country should criticize our president. the public role of the president supporting the current one continues. this is a great picture. >> this is an amazing moment. again, we argue about whether eisenhower does or not. johnson is the majority leader

eisenhower said, forgive me, mr.hs ago. >> sometimes it takes much longer. sometimes it takes eight years, sometimes it takes the assassination of another member of the club to get eisenhower and truman talking. >> they meet again, having -- truman did not step foot in the white house. he and eisenhower had such a feud after the 1952 election, until the kennedy assassination they find themselves sharing a car together riding back from arlington cemetery at kennedy's burial. in that asmoat fetmosphere that you bury the hatchet. they spend the afternoon drinking together and review nighting. >> the fact that they have all lived through these moments as presidents explains why after they leave they're so much more forgiving whoever is sitting there. george w. bush can say as he said of president obama a few months ago, i don't believe our country should criticize or undermine our president. that's an astonishing thing in our day and age for a republican president to say about a democratic president and he said it and it

on johnson's -- on eisenhower's wisdom. >> and the great thing about eisenhower he was so popular among the people. the great song ♪ i like ike because ike is easy to like ♪ no one else has a great song. i think lbj is rising too and i think it's about time he does. he left under a cloud, the scar in vietnam, so painful at the time he left. and the combination now of some distance from the war, the recognition that what he accomplished domestically we cannot take for granted. three great civil rights law, medica medicare, aid to education, his vibrancy that shows in the crazy tapes. listen to those tapes, he's back alive again swearing and being the most fascinating person i've ever met in public life. and carole's books are helping because they create this giant character. he deserves it. >> giant situations in front of him, the way he came in as well as the way he left. >> giant character and also -- >> dark clouds. >> you were there closely with him, but also so complicated. our relationships with our presidents are so personal, and the fact is he accomplished remarkable things polit

[ applause ] >> well, i hope we can get that video working before we're done because it's really good. we take it for granted these days that senior government officials travel all around the world, but that hasn't always been true. so i think a great place to start today would be to ask julie, who although she was only 5 years old when her parents went on their first international mission in 1963, because she's an authority on her mother, and her biography of her mother, "pat nixon: the untold story", the definitive biography of pat nixon. >> where might we buy that? >> it's available as an e-book now. be sure to find it for your kindle or nook or any other reading device. but julie, if you would start by talking a little bit about the context in which that first trip that president eisenhower asked your parents to make 45,000 miles, 10 weeks, 17 countries. >> well, it was 1953, and eisenhower, when he was elected, i would say it was probably the hei

eisenhower. and he began talking about eisenhower's political genius, which was a revelation to me. and he said, who do you think the first person was that i called from air force one after the assassination on the second person after i called rose kennedy? i called eisenhower. i said i haven't been elected in this terrible tragedy. i don't know what to do. i want you to come to washington right away and give me advice. and he said, eisenhower came down from gettysburg and he said, mr. president, i'm a military man. i give advice in writing. and my secretary, ann whitman, is in retirement in an apartment on connecticut avenue, let her come down and i will dictate to you, while you go to the events of the funeral, i'll dictate my advice. and president johnson said, the advice that he wrote in that memo became the script for the first 100 days of my presidency. and he said, during that entire dime when eisenhower advised me to speak to a joint session of the congress and make that my inaugural address, to call business leaders together and show the unity of the business community. all

shriver, there are a great many critics of the peace corps, among them former president eisenhower who call dd a juvenile experiment. others who called the program naive and arrogant and other things. how do you answer those people? >> i think the best comment on the peace corps is the reaction to the foreign persons coming into contact with it. in every country where the peace corps is now in operation we've been requested to send back more peace corps volunteers. >> as you hear him defend the program so interesting that the likes of president eisenhower were skeptical about the program. what did he see in it in what potential did he see in it right from the start? >> i think a lot of people forget that the peace corps was not, had not been around forever. it was an idea that jack kennedy proposed at the university of michigan late at night. dad took that idea, made it reali reality. he was opposed by eisenhower, opposed by "the wall street journal" and opposed by the state department. and dad worked with vice president johnson to make it reality. i think he saw the power of young ame

the design for the eisenhower memorial is becoming increasingly controversial. in the process, it requires consensus and the concept of what is durable. can you make some observations that can help congress to improve its authorizing process in the future, based on the lessons we have learned from this controversy? >> it does encourage consensus. we as a commission have been concerned about the consensus. the eisenhower memorial application may have been before a several months ago but has been delayed. you are correct that part of the commemorative works that has us look at the very -- durability of commercial -- materials. how did these materials stand up and over the test of decades? the architects are continuing to work and test the materials to answer those questions. the last part of your question is, what can we learn from this process? how can it be improved? there has been a joint task force on memorials. that worked from 2000 to 2002 to answer or review that question. how can the process be continued -- continually improved? one of the recommendations

turns out he was, he was appointed by president eisenhower. hired by president eisenhower. he was a republican from the midwest. he had this incredible reputation while at the justice department. so he started to get on our list. and i started to feed these names to the congressman as -- and there were maybe ten that we decided that had reached the place where they would meet congressman rodino's criteria and that it was time for him to start meeting these people and we began the interview process. i think john doar remembers that -- i think i called him. i think that's how he remembers it. that i'm the one who called him and had him come in, and i can't remember the time. i think i talked to him first. you have to think about that for a minute, for people who are watching this. here was this young staff person. not a lawyer. very low experience. i'm interviewing sort of the icons of the civil rights movement for this job, but clearly, i'm just a clearing house. anyway, we present the names. he interviewed the various candidates, and he came to the conclusion, he thought th

and a very important book called eisenhower 1956 frankly in spite of my own politics i ended this book relieved that ike beat stevenson for the presidency because ike was able to stand up in to the military because he knew something about the military. since then, we've had a string of amateur presidents. some of whom you might like. some of whom you don't. i'm not a fan of george w. bush and therefore i was horrified by some of the things that john wrote about presidential power. i assume that many of you in this room were no fans of bill clinton or barack obama in terms of their capacity to be commander in chief. i think all of us are right. that you wouldn't select out these people to make the decisions of peace and war, life and death. shift to the financial crisis. one of the most interesting books on that was written by a reporter for "the wall street journal." and one of the points he made is that the decisions again, whether you like them or not, the decisions were made by the head of the fed that is ben bernanke and secretary of treasury pahlsson, who wants to stipulate and kn

i mean, dwight eisenhower had a largely successful presidency. richard nixon, my goodness, an enormously talented man with a wonderful mind and a seriousness of purpose and brought an honestlial ended team of people into government who effected the course of government for decades after, like henry kissing jer, bill steinman, alan greenspan and so many others. >> we are out of time, but why did you not take the job to reelect the committee under richard nixon back in 1972? >> i was interested in the substantive side of the government as opposed to the political side and didn't have any interest in doing it. >> we are out of time. the book is called "known and unknown." a memoir, donald rumsfeld, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> for a dvd copy of that program, call 1-877-662-7726. for free transcripts or to give us your comments about this

the orioles present in the eisenhower has gained intention. achieve a design with the consensus of support. that particular situation has worked out. i hope we can learn from the process. this committee must also consider the pace at which new memorials have come about. we have to evaluate each proposal on its merit. i believe congress has done that. however, taken on their own, there are probably thousands of ideas that make sense. vietnam memorial is very popular and most people find it inspiring. i doubt that at the time congress approved it they consider that it would lead to a korean memorial and enormous world war ii to memorial. it is not to say that each of these and on meritorious. the committee must take into account the future generations. where do we draw the line? between elements that are free for the mall and what has become a gettysburg national battlefield? this hearing will provide an opportunity to discuss what we can do better when it comes to the future of our national mall. we of witnesses who will provide us with an insi

and you know actually this goes back to eisenhower growth was really fast and truman with the with the the war in korea to do it faster for f.d.r. so you can say this always goes all the way back to you know logically hoover this was not the president's idea it's the austerity program that the men who are in that meeting have forced us all into so that they can crash the economy or at least keep it bad so the question what do you call it when a small group of republicans gather to intentionally sabotage an entire nation just so their party can win political power off the pain of working americans is a treason is a sedition is a simply the most corrupt evil and petty sort of politics this town the scenes it's newt gingrich shut down the government and millions of americans out of work as bill clinton made him fly in the back air force one that's it for the big picture and i'd have a great for the job i will see if there's that. he is easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy. easy .
