and you know, with the numbers that we've been hearing on 40,000 and 80,000 and in two 2-henry adams 300,000 square feet , i'm wondering about the the qualification. this says professional and business office. i was thinking for architects and english -- engineers. >> the 5,000 applies to pdr's 1b and 2 in the zoning district. the office use provision applies to pdr and 1 g and d of the planning code. the landmark incentive that's offered for the 1 g and 1 d zoning district does not apply in pdr 1 and 2 in zoning districts. >> okay, so what i'm trying to understand is i thought 2 -henry adams is in the pdr 1d. so does this not apply to that? >> for example, in the case of 2 -henry adams, they are located in the pdr 1d so typically an office would not be permitted at all but in the case of a landmark, they are taking advantage of this provision so they are allowed a use. currently it is permitted and in designated landmarks offices is allowed as a right. in supervisor cohen's provision she has introduced a change in the planning code to equal qualify for conditional use authorizations

henry adams had long since joined clover at rock creek. on her first full day in washington, the wife of president-elect franklin roosevelt invited a friend to accompany her on a pilgrimage. catching a cab, the two caught a street when her husband learned of her wartime affair her social cemetery. reaching rock creek cemetery, they halted. a woman about to become first lady of the united states ed her companion to a marble bench. in the old days when we lived here, said mrs. roosevelt, i was younger and not so very wise. sometimes i'd feel very unhappy sorry for myself. when i was feeling that way if i ould manage it, i would come out here alone and sit and look at that woman and i'd come away somehow feeling better

and you did that with henry adams. so i'm not just vowing the idea of requiring what some better job or somewhere along the guidelines talking about. so this is just my general idea. >> that's a great point commissioner and if i can answer that question. the difference between the designation report and historical structure report is the designation report is done by a qualified historian, for the designation report we would require an engineering to give some seismic information and if the roof meets needs to be replaced. they are able in the historic structure report to prioritize what should happen to the property to continue it's preservation. >> it would be slightly different. >> definitely, but the designation report that you are talking about informs that historic structure. we have to do one first and then the historic structure report second. >> commissioner pearlman? >> i just want to ask a technical question in the code, why is someone required a building to be a landmark and others require it to be a catego

henry adams is the property that qualifies for local landmark status and wants to use it. it's a very runt routine question that we hear. while people are in inquiring about it, my thinking is pretty desirable from a developer point of view. 2 -henry adams is qualified to use it as the code stands right now. >> i guess saying arbitrary is the number of controls, how can we say what is the right numbers of controls and what do we know about pdr use and the zoning issues, that's kind of my point. >> these are existential questions that i don't have answers to. [ laughter ] >> commissioners i'm sorry, i was going to reiterate that those expertise realize what the criteria should be and what we'll need to evaluate if the code amendment goes through. we want to make sure we are providing you with what we can really respond to, but two, that you can use. if you don't this economic data is useful for you but useful for the planning commission maybe we need to make that distinction. maybe you are more interested in the historic structures report rather than the other pieces. but h

as henry adams observed, i quote, the pressure of the blockades was immediately felt. the war seat turned in brittain's favor on june 1st, 1813. first the frig gets, united states and macedonia were driven into london from wince they never emerged and then the "u.s.s. chesapeake" seen here with the stars and stripes under the union jack was captured in a battle that lasted 11 minutes at the most brilliant, brave, and heroic defeat of either navy in the entire war. the fact that captain phillip broker won the battle meant that james laurence captured the chesapeake had captured the wrong enemy. with those three frig gets removed from the american navy's list of ships at sea the american naval threat effectively evaporated. it focused on privateers. they were locked up in south devin which was a particularly unpleasant place to send them. we built it for the french but we ran out of french men so we sent the americans there as well. the british still hoped war would go away. they just wanted the americans to say, you know what, we're sorry. we'll sort of go back and stay

as henry adams observed, the pressure of the blockades was immediately felt. the war soon turned in britain's favor. first, the frigates were -- and the chesapeake seen here with the stars and stripes under the union jack was captured by hms shannon in a battle that lasts 11 minutes. the most brilliant, brave and heroic feet of either navy in the entire war. the fact that captain who won the battle was an obsessive megalomaniac meant he picked the wrong enemy. but with those three frigates removed from the list of ships at sea, the american naval threat effectively evaporated. the royal navy now focused on volunteers and 6,000 were locked up in a british prison in south devon, which was a particularly unpleasant place to send them. we built it for the french, but we ran out of frenchmen, so we used it for americans as well. they wanted the americans to say, we're sorry. we'll sort of go back and status quo. that was on the table from day one. that's all the british wanted. in 1813 the shannon action got the british quite excited. here is the contemporary carto

that's -- that is true and of course the classic case and point is henry adams, who, of course, was theon of the president's grandson, great grandson of presidents who wrote the classic history of the united states in this period. and he waxed eloquent about this. not that evans was sympathetic for the others. you are right, that's all they have into the history. the war of new england is. yes, there's a certain point, yes. yes. >> madison faced this areas attempt in congress to remove the seat of federal government from the potomac. i find little in madison's papers about the subject. i wonder if you could comment about that. >> first, you are right, there's little in the paper about it. the council of the city of philadelphia, after the burning of washington did make it known to the administration that the federal government wanted to move. they are welcome to move back to philadelphia. the weather had been before 1800. this was debated for three weeks or a month in congress. madison appears to have been largely inactive behind the scenes. what happens to a big in coop that every time

john quincy adams is going to lead the delegation. henry clay will be there as well as gallatin.e has pretty much had it. the problem for the interim person at the treasury, mr. jones, and then mr. campbell is appointed as the fifth secretary. in june of 1815, they do it. they pass taxes on sugar on the carriages, license, wine, liquor, and stamps. go back to 1765, you know how we felt about a stamp tax. now we are putting one on our own citizens. what about the dreaded income tax? not yet. they cannot fault the treasury on an income tax. summer of 1813, there is a loan issued that works out, one of the few. a 12-year maturity at a deep discount. david parrish underwrites a big part of this. raised fairly easily. campbell will resign for health reason and be replaced by alexander dallas. february of 1814 they come in for a whopping sum again, $25 million approved by congress. the largest ever up to that time. this one is exceedingly difficult to sell. they put a 6% 12-year on it again. they do a huge haircut. there is recent scholarship that is not out yet. it will be out by the

adams does not get enough credit for the declaration. in the fall of 1775 he and richard henry lee of, virginian, they put their heads collaborated. they were both already radicals at this point. they knew they wanted independence. the question was how to do it. they came up with a strategy. the strategy was show everybody in the colonies, given that the king had ruled them out of their protection they could no longer function as the king's magistrates. they couldn'ldt simultaneously e his representatives and be out of his protection. consequently anarchy was as good as the established order of the day in the colonies and therefore it was incumbent upon the colonies to start billing their own new governments. as part of committee in the constitutional congress in new hampshire, governor fled, write a constitution. did that andve delivered it january 1776. they begann to work to get all theeg colonies to build constitutions. the question was how should a colony build t a constitution. leeil turned to adams about adve on that. adams wrote a letter, reproduced in fuller form pamph

adams taught near boston. abe lincoln was educated in one-room school and henry ford loved his so much he had it moved to a museum in michigan. as late as 1913, half of america's school children were enrolled in the country's 200,000, one-room schools but after the first world war one-room schools started to close as people moved in to cities and small schools started to consolidate. for most of us it's folklore that was in "little house on the prairie." >> no, ma'am. >> you captain learn it properly. >> it's been a long time since the farm land's near lansing, michigan, were prairie. >> let's see. >> linda spent three years as the sole teacher at the strange one-room school. last year she taught a class of 128 ages 5-12. strange school was founded in 1879, the kids still sit in the exact same classroom except now they learn on ipads. but one teacher job requirement hasn't changed across all those years. being self sufficient. >> the big school, teach we're call in the guidance counselor, that would be you. or complain to the principal, that would be you. >> at first it was overwhelming but now it's part of the j

adams existed. >> i like to skip over him. so boring. patrick henry mr.give me liberty or give me death they bruce fein of his day. patrick henry and the ratification made many the same arguments. he said we have created a potential monarch. he's going to use the commander-in-chief power in his power of the military and the opportunity for war to take civil liberties and impose a tierney. james madison who was the guy who drafted the constitution was the leader of the fight for the constitution of virginia. his reply was not oh don't worry the declare war clause is there. don't worry congress has permission. the answer was this said under constitution as it is in england the sword and the purse are separate. the parliament can always cut off funds if the king chooses to fight a war and he said so will be the united states. congress can -- always have control and without it the president cannot wage war. so i agree that it's that check however today congress has chosen to fund the wars. it's not a failure of the constitution our democratic system. it's jus

adams, thomas jefferson, martin van buren and george herbert walker bush. meanwhile, you have those who lost. john breckenridge. remember him? no. henry wallace.mphrey, walter mondale and of course al gore. so what do you make of that? >> well, just because you're vice president doesn't guarantee you're going to win. al gore came really the closest of any recent vice president. so it just isn't a guarantee. it's an interesting dichotomy that we had. he's a heartbeat away from the presidency, but it is hard, it's almost easier to run as an outsider. especially after you've had a president with two terms. >> sure. look at al gore. there he was. his family had lived in washington forever, since he was a little boy. let's talk about the pros and cons. what are the pros about joe biden and the race for president? >> well, joe biden has decades of experience. he was one of the youngest senators ever elected in 1973 he was elected to the senate from delaware. so he has decades of experience. he chaired the senate foreign relations committee. so he has the experience factor which is one reason why president obama chose him in the first place. the cons

henry adams had long since joined clover at rock creek. on her first full day in washington, the wife of president-elect franklin roosevelt invited a friend to accompany her on a pilgrimage. catching a cab, he will la the mashed potato women drove past the house where eleanor roosevelt first learned of her husband's war-time affair with her social secretary. reaching rock creek cemetery, they halted. there, the woman about to become first lady of the united states, led her companion to a marble bench. in the old days, when we lived here, said mrs. roosevelt, i was much younger and not so very wise. sometimes i would feel very unhappy and sorry for myself. when i was feeling that way, if i could manage it, i'd come out here alone and sit and look at that woman and i always felt better. and stronger. eleanor roosevelt was wrong about the gender of the thematic bronze figure. but she captured perfectly the spiritual balm provided by the memorial its sculpture christianed the peace of god that passeth understanding. >> on june 18, 18 12, the u
