modern america was really formed by the policies and beliefs of franklin and eleanor roosevelt. when you think about the century, you have to start with the foundation of franklin and eleanor roosevelt, and no one knows more about that than our next speaker. please welcome alonzo hamby. [applause] >> ah, well, thanks very much for the kind introduction. i'll do my best not to disappoint you but, gee, you've made it difficult. [laughter] well, what i'm going to do is try to give you a kind of a fast tour through this new book, "man of destiny." i should begin by saying that one of my first historical memories, probably really my first historical memory is a very hazy recollection of my father and mother listening to a radio talk by franklin roosevelt. very probably his last fireside chat in early 1945. i have a more distinct memory of just a few months later hearing on the radio the news bulletin announcing his death. and running to tell my mother about it. let's, let's begin as we kind of take a quick walk through this book by asking about fdr's heritage. specifically, who were t

they proved that even republican nominees can quote franklin roosevelt to their own purpose. the grand old party thinks it has found a great new trick, but 40 years ago an earlier generation of republicans attempted the same trick. and franklin roosevelt himself replied, "most republican leaders have bitterly fought and blocked the forward surge of average men and women in their pursuit of happiness. let us not be deluded that overnight those leaders have suddenly become the friends of average men and women." "you know," he continued, "very few of us are that gullible." and four years later when the republicans tried that trick again, franklin roosevelt asked, "can the old guard pass itself off as the new deal? i think not. we have all seen many marvelous stunts in the circus, but no performing elephant could turn a handspring without falling flat on its back." the 1980 republican convention was awash with crocodile tears for our economic distress, but it is by their long record and not their recent words that you shall know them. the same republicans who are talking about th

that nominee whose name was ronald reagan has no right to quote when delano roosevelt. -- quote franklin delano roosevelt. the great inventions which our progress is our heritage not theirs, what is right for us as democrats is also the right way for democrats to win. -- that will never wear out. programs may sometimes become obsolete, but the idea of fairness always endures. circumstances may change, but the work of compassion must continue. it is surely correct that we cannot solve problems by throwing money at them, but it is also correct that we do or not throughout our national problems onto a scrapheap of inattention and indifference. the poor may be out of political fashion, but they are not without human needs. the middle-class may be angry, but they have not lost the dream that all americans can advance together. the demand of our people in 1980 is not for smaller government or bigger government, but for better government. some say that government was always bad and it's spending for basic social programs is the root of our economic evils. we replied that the present inflation a

let me suggest to you that the record, particularly from franklin roosevelt's standpoint from franklinlt's standpoint simply does not justify macarthur's player. there is usually three suspects that macarthur is sure out to get them. roosevelt is one. george marshall marshall is the second and dwight eisenhower, third. i think you for this right that when i got to london, proper british matron came up to him and said well, general eisenhower, do you know general mcarthur? will ike, web and macarthur say both in washington and the philippines supposedly replied, know him, madam, i studied i study dramatics under him for four years in the philippines. so there is that relationship there, but but let me suggest particularly from roosevelt's standpoint, there are a number of times that he really could have put macarthur out to dry. there were certainly political implications involved, this idea of macarthur and his hero status and everything, but i think on all three levels, the evidences that roosevelt, marshall, and eisenhower did everything they could in the spring of 1942. it was a tou

franklin roosevelt's new deal promised security and succor to those in need.ut the new frontier of which i speak is not a set of promises. it is a set of challenges. it sums up not what i intend to offer to the american people, but what i intend to ask of them. it appeals to their pride -- it appeals to our pride, not our security. it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security. the new frontier is here whether we seek it or not. beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered problems of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus. it would be easier to shrink from that new frontier, to look to the safe mediocrity of the past, to be lulled by good intentions and high rhetoric -- and those who prefer that course should not vote for me or the democratic party. but i believe that the times require imagination and courage and perseverance. i'm asking each of you to be pioneers towards that new frontier. my call is to the young in heart, regardless of age -

a little bit more about the relationship between douglas macarthur and franklin roosevelt. and permit me if you will to actually start with someone else, admiral william leahy. now, you roosevelt scholars in the room know him as roosevelt chief of staff. his wartime counselor, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and really a de facto national security advisor long before that position was set up. and four years ago when it published admirals which you mentioned in the introduction, about america's for, fights are admirals, a schedule conflict prevented me from being here at this conference. socketed ya i jumped at the chance to talk about macarthur. but if i'd been here four years ago to talk about leahy and "the admirals" i think i would've mentioned that in five really was the man during the last three years of roosevelt's life who really was the mainstay of his administration and perhaps more to the point is the one who really i think sort of transitions and explains the roosevelt legacy to truman. okay, how does that relate to macarthur? leahy is a great segue to maca

franklin roosevelt's new deal promised security and succor to those in need. but the new frontier of which i speak is not a set of promises . it is a set of challenges. it sums up not what i intend to offer to the american people but what i intend to ask them. it appeals to their pride. it appeals to our pride, not our security. it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security. frontier is here, whether we take it or not. , uncharted frontier areas of science and space, andlved problems, unanswered questions of poverty. it would be easier to shrink from that frontier. to look at the safe mediocrity of the past, with good intentions, and those who prefer that, who should not vote for me for the democratic party. and i asking you to be pioneers towards that frontier. i called to the young apart, regardless of age, for the regardingpirit, parties, to all who responded, be strong and of good courage. be not afraid. complacency, is our need today. leadership, not salesmanship, and the only valid test of leadership is the ability to lead and lead

like the secretary of treasury for franklin roosevelt looked at the problem of germany in the 20th century, they recognize the problem of the entire 20th century was the germansof germany, that cause all of europe's strategic and military problems. bush's response was that the was not the europe germans but that it was filled with europeans. europeans by their nature across centuries did nothing but fight against each other. national, religious, ethnic reasons straight the only time in his view that europe had known sustained peace was when the united states had been after 1945, and after nato came into existence, nato which allowed the americans to not only have an invitation

after taft we needed wilson; and after hoover we needed franklin roosevelt. [cheering] but we're not merely running against mr. nixon. our task is not merely one of itemizing republican failures. nor is that wholly necessary. for the families forced from the farm do not need to tell us of their plight. the unemployed miners and textile workers know that the decision is due for them in the november. old people without medical care, the families without a decent home, the parents of children without a decent school: they all know that it's time for a change. [cheering] we are not here to curse the darkness; we are here to light a candle. [cheering] as winston churchill said on taking office some twenty years ago: if we open a quarrel between the present and the past, we shall be in danger of losing the future. today our concern must be with the future. for the world is changing. the the old era is ending. the old ways will not do. abroad, the balance of power is shifting. new and more terrible weapons are coming into use. one third of the world may be free, but

franklin roosevelt like to read. nobody likes to read that much. and yet the foundation for the modern intelligence system was laid, for the first time there was an intelligence service in the united states which had as one of its objectives serving the president of the united states. harry truman picked up on that soon. oss was disbanned quickly after the war. but in early 1946, it was back. had a new name, there was a new head. called the director of central intelligence, and he headed what was call the central intelligence group, which became the central intelligence agency. harry truman accept getting what he called the daily summary, and this was a document that analises at cia pulled together baited on classified information -- based upon classified information. this one was more direct at truman himself. they thoughted.what does truman need and not need. so he picked up on what roosevelt built and got something more focuses on them. even thy they were getting feedback and over time didn't get the kind of response they were looking for. under

one thing he admired about franklin roosevelt was roosevelt's ability to connect with the american people by radio, in fact, reagan was starting his radio career when franklin roosevelt was conducting his fireside chats over radio, and roosevelt was the model of how you could use radio to create this world for the listeners out there, and reagan appreciated that. both as a radio guy but also as someone who eventually wanted to convey his vision to the american people. now, in fact, by the tame reagan came along the medium was television but the goal was still the same, and so to the end of his political career in fact in one of the last speeches he gave in 1988, reagan again cited franklin roosevelt as a model of not so much to what to do as president but how to be president. but in terms of the change in his philosophy, some of it was the fact he was never really a convinced liberal to begin with. that was part of it. so it was relatively easy to shake him from that. reagan tells the story that it was his awareness of communists in hollywood, and the threat they posed not simply to the m

the rough rider president franklin roosevelt's fifth cousin. he was a hero from world war i of the american legion and later he would be on d-day the roosevelt hated the hyde park roosevelt and there was a family battle. it's as franklin roosevelt was pushing towards the intervention in the war. others include president herbert hoover. thanks to the goods and purchase of u.s. government purchases the good times were rolling in the united states for the first time since the great depression so you can also understand from an economic perspective, people didn't want to go to the war, they wanted to find a card they could purchase. they finally had enough food to eat but there were other reasons. there were the memories the wiping out of a generation of young european men in the trenches of the western front of world war i. the history's largest colonial empire. now, through this all come fdr was not idle unlike president wilson whom he served with during world war i. president roosevelt pursued what he recognized as unnatural actions. he was sendi

west coast andrew jackson to woodrow wilson to franklin roosevelt to saying that our truman, whoharry not only spoke, but acted for freedom. when he became president, not only had his own ideas, but the strength of the democratic party , so he wanted to do something for the mentally ill -- mentally ill and mentally retarded, for those not covered by social security, for those not receiving inadequate minimum wage, for those who do not have adequate housing. for our fellow citizens who are not white or different beliefs living in this society. that in order for us to make progress at home, we had to be strong overseas and our military had to be strong. -- can we be certain without doubt that it will never have to be employed. -- the soviet union withdrew their missiles and bombers from cuba. [applause]. ] his idea was that this company -- this world should be a better place when we turn it over to the next generation then we inherited the last generation -- than we inherited from the last generation. that is why with all the other , and that is made, why he made such commitments. that

franklin roosevelt like to read. nobody likes to read that much. [laughter] and yet the foundation for the moderate intelligence system was laid. for the first time the was an intelligence service in the united states which had as one of its objectives serving the president of the united states. harry truman picked up on that very soon the oss was disbanded quickly after the war but in early 1946, it was back. and adding your name, a new had called the director of central intelligence and yet it was called the central intelligence group which eventually became the central intelligence agency your harry truman started getting what he called a daily summary and this was the document that analysts at cia pulled together based on classified information but this one was more directed at truman did so. that is, they thought about what does truman need and what does he not need. he picked up on what roosevelt had build and get something more focused on him. but even then they were not getting tons of feedback and overtime they didn't get the kind of respo

seaboard and sent lewis and clark to the west coast; of andrew jackson; of woodrow wilson; of franklin roosevelt who saved our citizens who were in great despair because of the financial crisis; of harry truman who not only spoke but acted for freedom. so, when he became president he not only had his own principles and his own ideals but he had the strength of the democratic party. as president he wanted to do something for the mentally ill and the mentally retarded; for those who were not covered by social security; for those who were not receiving an adequate minimum wage; for those who did not have adequate housing; for our elderly people who had difficulty paying their medical bills; for our fellow citizens who are not white and who had difficulty living in this society. he realized also that in order for us to make progress here at home, that we had to be strong overseas, that our military strength had to be strong. he said one time, "only when our arms are sufficient, without doubt, can we be certain, without doubt, that they will never have to be employed." so when we had the crisis with

you through some of that because it relates to the man we're talking about most here today, franklin roosevelt and how he planted the seed for what we know today is the modern delivery of intelligence to the president of the united states. first i'll go back a little bit to give you a sense of what fdr face when his coming coming into office relating to this top-secret intelligence. then i'll talk about what happened during his administration and then walk you briefly through what his successors did with the foundation that he laid. back to george washington, george washington came into office as president, there was no intelligence community. it was no stranger to intelligence he had been his own spymaster as commander-in-chief of the army. once in office he did not have anyone assessing international developed for him. his successors in either, they face the same hurdles. seems strange to think about today but if you think about the five successors to george washington, people who lead the nation for the 40 years after his death, they had extensive international experience during that time.

in an uncanny coincidence that would change history, president franklin roosevelt ordered the entire.s. pacific fleet from san diego to pearl harbor. by 1941, it was defended by every branch of our armed forces. including the coast guard. some said it was most heavily garrisoned island in the world. but shortly after dawn on december 7, we lost our innocence. where were you on december 7, 1941? >> i had just enlisted as a seaman. i was home in honolulu. that's where we lived. way up on the hillside we heard a commotion, we went out on the lanai and there were jets flying overhead in formation. i didn't have a b-b gun but we could have reached them up on the hillside. >> 21-year-old ed nash joined the coast guard. he suddenly found himself in the naval service. where'd they send you? >> we immediately went down to the island of the south pacific. the captain didn't elle us what we were doing. >> 4,000 miles away in new orleans, another young american was devastated by the savage attack. marvin, where were you when the japanese bombed pearl harbor? >> high school, as a 17-year-old kid.

there have been five presidents in my political lifetime--franklin d. roosevelt, harry truman, dwight eisenhower, john f. kennedy, and lyndon johnson. they had differences on some issues, but they were united in their belief that where the security of america or the peace of the world is involved we are not republicans, we are not democrats. we are americans, first, last, and always. these five presidents were united in their total opposition to isolation for america and in their belief that the interests of the united states and the interests of world peace require that america be strong enough and intelligent enough to assume the responsibilities of leadership in the world. they were united in the conviction that the united states should have a defense second to none in the world. they were all men who hated war and were dedicated to peace. but not one of these five men, and no president in our history, believed that america should ask an enemy for peace on terms that would betray our allies and destroy respect for the united states all over the world. as your

beginning, the section that's difficult to hear, i'd encourage you to read that address of fdr, franklin roosevelt, how roosevelt proposed slashing federal budget, having smaller government. that's why reagan voted for him and compared that to what actually occurred. well, ronald reagan followed ike's advice. reagan made eisenhower's theme of common sense in that first letter that ike advised him to do twice as his actual campaign theme in '66. eisenhower admitted that he had been studying reagan and did not view reagan as an extreme right winger. he was well within the broad tint of modern republicanism. he actually ended up advising reagan on polling, to emphasize northern california in his campaign for the governorship. to bring in his primary opponent, the former mayor of san francisco, to bring in his supporters into reagan's campaign. and also, twice, dwight eisenhower helped ronald reagan fight false charges of being an anti-semite. eisenhower mentored on speech delivery, this is the well-known actor ronald reagan. eisenhower actually critiqued some of his speeches and reagan thanked him. t
