but that great britain had absolutely no interest in a military engagement in laos. i was awakened at 4:00 in the morning prime minister harold mcmillan reported to queen elizabeth ii, to be shown an emergency telegram from president kennedy. it was saturday, march 25, 1961. mcmillan was in spain, the capital of that then colony trinidad. kennedy asked to meet asap. within 24 hours they met here in key west. now, their meeting actually started badly. kennedy hoped that he could get the british to agree that if laos was going down the drain, london would participate in a 35,000 troop intervention force to hold the countries capital and the border with thailand. mcmillan, who consulted with his cabinet before leaving trinidad, had no intention of approving any military intervention of any kind. kennedy, not understanding how reluctant the british were going to be, had staged a dramatic u.s. military briefing. i want you to think about this. the prime minister of england flies 4.5 hours with a small group and they arrive at the airport. they come in a nice convertible t

they see the former prime minister of great britain on stage. sitting next to him is the president of the united states, harry truman. it certainly is a world platform and what you see is something of great significance. in the speech, he outlines the united states and british alliance and says that even in peace time, we must continue the anglo-american relationship. he outlines his strategic concept, as he puts it. this page in the speech is very interesting. it's the only original typewritten speech. it's not a carbon copy with notes on it. we can only speculate. this is the thesis of the iron curtain speech outlining the strategic objective, too many notes at the last minute that she had to retype it in total. that's why there are slightly different type fonts. churchill talks about war and tyranny, the two marauders and the destruction of war. he outlines and gives a history of world war ii, the aftermath, the lingering impacts in his great rhetorical style. he talks about methods for achieving peace through the united nations in his speech,

the advantage of great britain is going back, two real things, having a magna carta and so forth. great britain is not a hugely rich country and they have had over 1000 years to conserve and produce the edification and whatever. so the difficulty there is not the will, sometimes it is the resources. it is interesting to go back and forth, that is to say family history at both sides and looking at the great documents, the bill of rights and so forth. it is accessible on both sides. it is a wide range that you have to go onward for great britain, where the focus here is in a smaller range. and i like the difference. >> a practical point on collection of care is we expect a little bit from buildings and the use of buildings which is something that we were talking about at lunch, it is something that i talk about with the uk and palaces like buckingham palace. it has been 50 years in development, collection care has been very much promoted by english heritage and the national trust. which are not occupied, and is something which is growing greatly certainly in the collections that i l
