george washington national forest april 2011. section 1, my quote comes from section 1, very calm and in the document. horizontal drilling moratorium stipulation. >> so is this the george washington forest plan document that you are referring to? >> george washington is noted on here in the heading. >> so what that is, it's an alternative in our draft forest plan among several alternatives that we are considering. >> how do you -- trying to figure out in my own mind, so this was in an internal exercise. for something that was a proposal being considered and yet in your testimony you said nor do we have any plans to develop any policy. >> correct. what i am referring to, there is no policy that the title of the hearing had to do with a policy on banning forest service ban on horizontal drilling on federal lands. my statement was intended to assure you that there is no intend for us to develop a policy nationwide broadly that, what we are talking about on the george washington is a very site-specific locally driven and also says to

in this panel, we have a depiction of george washington moving west. what is interesting about it is the image of lewis and clark here is in black and white, something that is occurring in the future, painted as though it was in the past. what is interesting about it is the very obvious conclusion of slavery. the number of students were expressing unease around some of the themes. the additional mural would be placed in the school, one with more positive representation of the student body. in 1974, they completed three panels that were placed in the library -- in the lobby. they depict native, latino, asian american, and african- american heritage and culture. >> that artist was talking about the history coming alive. that is what we want for the students here. i also think they might share that with past alumni and the community, so they could no the treasure that we have here in the schools. many people have the same experience i did when i first walked into this building three years ago, being the new principal. the grandeur of these murals is fanta

>> there was a shaft that george washington said hu -- shaft that george washington had. a lot of the early presidents like french cooking. there was a pattern that once they were trained, a lot of them escaped, and they did not come back. jefferson had the same thing happen. he had them trained, brought some of them to france, and this person also left. he bought his freedom. jarvis and asked would you come back and work for me, and he said it now -- jefferson? would you come back and work for me, and he said no. this was an important vehicle. >> kenneth walsh, i am so glad you did this book. you worked brilliantly at it. we would like to thank you for watching, and remind you this program has been possible by arizona public service, and its holding company, panicle west. we'll be back in a week. until then, visit us on the web at whchronicle.com. cheers. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- "white house chronicle" is produced in collaboration with howard university television. from washington, d.c., this has been "white house chronicle" a we

the george washington national forest is a popular location for hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoor pursuits. it's home to the head waters of the potomac river, which helps supply drinking water here in washington, d.c. it appears the u.s. forest service has correctly taken a precautionary approach in assessing the impact of natural gas production on water and other resources in the george washington national forest before moving forward to approve any new drilling. while there's growing understanding of the environmental impact of oil and gas development, much remains unknown. there has been little scientific investigation into the wide range of potential environmental impacts from this very complex industry. federal agencies have begun conducting their own inquiries into various aspects of oil and natural gas operations. for example, forest service research in west virginia found that forests suffer permanent changes from drilling operations, including ineffective erosion controls and toxic waste disposal methods that kill vegetarian. they found unexpected impacts could not

the answer though about the dies , jefferson, franklin, john adams, and george washington and look at more christian outer doux founders, john w witherspoon and adams all believed in a believe there was a god who not only created the world but also sustained the world and even at times may intervene in that world that the god created so in the 18th century, deeiests came out of, you know, sort of christian churches and so forth, you know, but deism and providence in the 18th century are incompatible terms. you can't believe in a god who creates the universe and steps back to allow it to run by natural law or laws of morality and so forth, you can't believe that and at the same time believe this god can actively intervene in his or her creation, so the classic example is benjamin frapping lin. if you read his autobiography, he tries to refute them and is convinced by them and became a thorough going deos. certainly he doesn't become a christian and certainly rejects the trinity, rejects the inspiration of the old and new testaments and so forth and may even reject the resurrection of j

with the story that they had -- they were george washington's sun glasses, we had no reason to doubtthat, but more recently as we have been cataloguing the selection we have learned two things, that causes us to question the story the first is this type of double lens with this folding piece with the green glass wasn't patented until 1797, two years before georges death but more importantly, this particular shape, this d frame is a style that is not made until the 1820s somewhere the story got confused and that is one of the things that happens when you do research and we have been committed over the years to constantly try to make the story of mount vernon more authentic. >> and also, you know, is a testament to the fact that the story is still evolving that makes history so exciting and what makes every visit to mount vernon memorable this exhibit will be here a little while if you can't come out today that is okay but if you can you will get to see this and more they are open 8 to 5:00 p.m. they have super fun things planned throughout the day we will talk more about that in our n

for two hundred years for our first president george washington all the way up into the swearing in of our fortieth president ronald reagan our nation operated under an economic plan known simply as the american way it was based on an eleven point plan to foster american manufacturing created by america's first treasury secretary alexander hamilton it was literally called the american system and for two hundred years it was referred to as the american way the american way was built on three basic tenets one tariffs or import taxes to make foreign made goods more expensive here and thus protect american industries to a strong national bank to facilitate commerce and three loads of federal spending for infrastructure projects like roads railroads airports bridges ports even canals that help american industries easily and cheaply transport products around the nation this is the type of economy that ruled america through forty presidencies and turned our fledgling newborn nation into an economic superpower unlike any the world had ever seen before it work flawlessly but then in one nine hu

george washington almost certainly did not say so help me god. not only is there no evidence but there's a minister whose presence, he is writing about the inoculation. he later becomes washington's great christian defended that he's arguing what a great christian washington is that if anyone was willing to say washington said this, this person would have said it. and he doesn't. he almost certainly say. on the bible, actually. 12th century england? want to change is, and it's also changed in the state constitutions, you don't have to. so there's nothing -- i don't have any problem taking an oath on a bible. but equator was a don't make me do that. and that's what the change is. >> i would agree. there's a guy who e-mails me i think once a month asking me this question if i found him or evidence to see whether or not washington has sworn on -- >> has he sworn on the bible yet? [laughter] >> have you dug up the evidence. spent i think part of what's interesting is the way the logic works, and i think we're on the same page, thinking first were aski

george washington, whom i respect the most, would not be a good dinner partner. [laughter] i mean, he just didn't talk much. [laughter] and he was not an intellectual. he had no intellectual pretensions. he did not go to college. but he had what you want in your leader, is wisdom. and he was a great leader and, of course, he stands head and shoulders above all the others in their eyes. now, we tend to lump them all together in our eyes. they're all part of that founding group. but in their eyes there was one person who stood way ahead of the others, and that's washington. they concocted the presidency and they gave it so much power simply because they knew george washington would be the first president. and he could be trusted. with good reason. he had acted in a manner that nobody had ever heard of before except for this distant -- [inaudible] that is to say he had surrendered his sword to the authorities and said i'm going back to my farm at mount vernon, i want no more public office. now, no general in recent history had ever done that or even going back to ju

so these are a handful of letters that we have that are from george washington. this entire series of correspondence is with charles cotesworth pinckney, and time and time again washington tried to recruit pinckney to serve in the new national government. this is from 1791, and this is a letter to pinckney and his friend, edward rutledge, asking if they would join the supreme court. rutledge's brother had just kind of gotten warped from the court, and washington basically says you won't be paid anything, you won't get a lot of respect, but if either of you two guys would like to come up here and be supreme court justices, we'd love to have you, it would be a great addition to the court. neither of them did. they were happy to stay here and keep maintenance on their crops which was much more profitable and probably much more enjoyable than moving north, in their opinion. he again asked pinckney if he would become secretary of war a few years later. he asked him if he would become secretary of state the year after that. pinckney says, no dice. and finally, 1796, he
