president jerry ford observed the -- year, two staff members are sitting here in the audience who have written their own inside story about this that you should read. he appointed a republican feminist, jill roll kug house as priding officer. that year was a international year conference, a truly international one that took place in mexico city. they urged participating nations to hold conferences to involve the women of their countries indrafting policy on women's issues. american feminist leaders, such as new york congresswoman bell who attended the conference were inspired greatly, by participation they were eager to have these kinds of gatherings, believing that involving women all over the country in this process of formulating recommendations, was going to help to introduce them to the women's movement to expand its reach and to diverse fie the movement itself. so, late in 1975, congress approved a bill that she'd introduce that mandated and funded these meetings that would then be held in 56 states and territories and they are people would coming to, anybody who was a resident o

>> the last time, white house chief of staff, it was under jerry ford after nixon resigned. for about a month. one of the reasons is because ford had a model very much like donald trump nobody empowered his first among equals he called it the spokes of the wheel with jerry ford in the center it was a disaster. within a monk, ford was begging his old pal to come in and whipped the white house to shape which he did only because jerry ford empowered him to do so the great story that i love is dick cheney, the 34-year-old white house chief of staff for jerry ford, he was given a gift the day he left. it was beautifully packaged and he opened it up and it was a mangled bicycle wheel with every thing broken he left it for his predecessor also, he paid the price. so that's the choice you can either try to spokes of the wheel which donald trump had been trying without success or you can empower the white house chief to help you govern >> who were the most effective and powered chief of staff i think i can anticipate your answer james a. baker the third under reagan would be everybody

jerry. lets go to page one of 22 for those of you following along and i will read a bit of her bio first. cornelia fordwas born in 1919 and she died in 1943. she was part of the us women's auxiliary flying squadron. on the morning of december 7, 1941, civilian instructor pilot cornelia fort was airborne with a student pilot at an interstate cadet monoplane over pearl harbor. she sought military aircraft fly directly at her. she took the controls and pulled up over the oncoming plane only then did she see the rising sun emblem on its wings. moments later she realized that pearl harbor was under attack. japanese zeros straight her plane, but she landed and ran to safety with her student pilot. in 1942, nancy hartness love invited for it, didn't-- then just 23 to join the women's auxiliary squadron later merged with the women's air force service pilots or whop. here's a little expert-- excerpt. i knew i was going to join the women's auxiliary ferrying squadron before the organization was reality. before it had a name, before it was anything but a radical idea in the minds of a few men who believed that wo
