war husbands unable to join us, as well, today before stach sergeant lewis lozak, vice admiral john johnson and pfc robert f. myers. it's been a remarkable program today and it's time to wrap it up, but i hope you've all benefited from the words that were spoken today. it was some 60 years ago on the korean peninsula and the future of cokorea was very much in dou. and despite the korea became in abject poverty, devastated by conflict with seemingly few prospects for suffering people. but in the space of a few decades, nothing short of a miracle took place. today the republican of korea is a force for good in northeast asia, a bastion of democracy, and a staunch ally of the united states with an economy that's the envy of the world. mun of this would have been possible without your sacrifices and those of your fallen comrades. so on behalf of those in uniform serving today and an eternally grateful nation, thank you, we are standing on the shoulders of giants. thank you. [ applause ] >> ladies and gentlemen, this concludes came today's say money. we thank you all for attending and helping us

then came presidents lyndon johns johnson, richard nixon and jimmy carter. there was progress made on medicare and medicaid. president nixon came forward with a comprehensive health care reform proposal that built on the employer/employee system. president carter proposed a number of advances and particularly mrs. carter championed the cause of mental health benefits. they too envisioned reforms that would give americans more health security and our nation more economic security. but, like their predecessors, their efforts and their hopes were not realized. so here we are in 1993. 50 years after the chairman introduced -- the chairman's father introduced the first legislation. we are still wrestling with many of the same issues and the same problems that previous generations have worked on. the difference is that today, our system has many problems that have gotten increasingly expensive, and the difficulties of delivering health care in a cost effective way is making a challenge to the fiscal integrity of the federal and state governments to businesses, to

escalation in vietnam during the presidencies of john kennedy and lyndon johnson. in other words, kennedy and johnson inherited a war from eisenhower and nixon before nixon inherited it from these two democratic presidents. but a lot of work needs to be done on this period. another big question has to do with nixon's position on the war in the 1968 presidential campaign. and what was his role in the so-ca so-called caper. there's wide agreement supported by evidence that nixon and his campaign organization engaged in a clandestine effort via intermediary to encourage the president of south vietnam into shunning the johnson-initiated negotiations and thereby influenced the u.s. presidential election vote in nixon's favor. and there is now new evidence, convincing evidence, that kissinger passed information on to the nixon campaign about president johnson and diplomatic negotiations. the unanswerable question, of course, is whether these efforts influenced the electoral vote in the '68 election between nixon and humphrey. a third question, issue, is sort of a con tex

[cheers and applause] >> thank you. i saw the statistics that the secretary of the district released regarding the san francisco unified school district. 50% of out of school suspensions and 42% of in-school suspensions while we make up 11.9% of the entire population in the school district. yet only 4.3% of the students taking the s.a.t. are black. we wonder why more teachers in schools do not use our 50 years of experience and expertise and materials. we need to re-examine how the district is using resources to provide the instruction of our black youth today. so having said that, as a co-owner of marcus bookstore, we offer our services. we offer our expertise. by the way, i'm a product of san francisco unified school district.

joining me here in new york andrew edgecliffe-johnson of the "the financial times,"" john burns from the "new york times." john, tell me what this means and why did it happen now? >> well, if you read the company announcement, you'd think it was just kind of a routine reshuffle, lots of congratulations for all that was accomplished by james murdoch from his years in london. but you only have to step back to take a look at this to see whose happened here is they've taken him out of the game in britain at a time when the scandal is not relenting, intensifying, when, by all appearances, criminal prosecutions cannot be far away. his farther has come in here at 80y years old, assumed direct control, as far as we can see, of the "sun" tabloid, to try and right the ship. so it seems to me this is a pretty dark day for james murdoch and not such a good day for news corp. >> rose: and lock landmurdoch accompanied his farther, went with him to london to the "sun" newsroom. >> yes, that really tipped off what we saw today. 10 days ago rupert murdoch flies in from new york to take control of aff

political advantage because it land blasted and implicated the concerns of democrats, lyndon johnson, hubert humphrey, johnkennedy. it was fine, as far as he was concerned. he called up mr. dixon and then henry kissinger, who at first was also not determined to pursue this or the ones who finally raised the issue to something of importance from mr. nixon and then the question is, so how did he respond? the first thing he did was to seek a prior injunction through but they actually enjoin the american society from discussing the subject. it was the same kind of an approach to an issue when a reconnaissance plane was shut down. now, since i thought about this point earlier, i ran and looked for this little piece of paper, which happens to be the record of the national security council meeting. the first and only national security council meeting that mr. nixon held in the context of the pentagon papers leak. it was held at 3:30 p.m. on the 17th of june, 1971. mr. nixon both opened and closed the meeting. he opened by saying that a number of u.s. presidents, if you wanted to get something into the new york so

when lyndon johnson told john kennedy, as he was about to propose the civil rights bill, that that was going to cost democrats the south for a generation, it's been more than a generation. there is an element of racism here. there's an element of tremendous anger that the president is an african-american, tremendous anger that the country is changing, a sense that all you have to do is look at these tea party rallies that he have woo seen all over the country where the president is portrayed as an alien and worse, and you understand the anger these republican candidates are appealing to. it fits perfectly for gingrich. it fits pretty well for santorum, and romney has cut his conscience to fit the cloth of this kind of reaction. >> chip, can't you see that, as americans look at this kind of feeling, the anti-woman kind of misogyny we went through the last ten days and hearing the south will rise again. to women, that means put on your apron and get in the kitchen, and to african-americans, that means get back in the field. not one of the leading candidates is really openly denouncing th

but one could make exactly the same charge about john kennedy, precisely the same charge about johnson and i'm not sure it is a charge of much substance. it seems that the president is there to use political judgment and not bring validated expertise to the subject. i think if there is a charge to be made the charge is that his determination to maximize employment and minimize the inflation rate by november 1972, a strategy which worked in conjunction with extraordinary success had very considerable medium run consquences. inflation rate rose in every single month between december 1972 and august 1974 and he bequeathed an inflation rate to three times. the nature of economic policy making was something which i think he was inadequately tuned to and i'm not sure he was supported on. it was something which he himself i think had rather slight understanding. so the answer is nuanced in that he had his political interests that were clear. his preferences were clear. i think in terms of his understanding of the long run consequences of his determination to aachieve those twin objectives by

national effort toward equity and fairness for all americans, as johnson knew, president kennedy himself had announced on the very day that john glenn had orbited the earth that he was establishing a commission on the status of women. in an executive order posted at all government agencies, including nasa, the president made to clear, women are entitled to equality of opportunity for employment in government and industry. johnson, looking at the ceiling above his head, noticed four al gore cal frescoes depicting am business. all four figures were women, dressed in impressive robes, staring down at him. many minority groups were asking for attention from nasa. the vice president told cobb. they wanted to be astronauts too. if the united states allowed women in space, then blacks, mexicans, chinese and other minorities would want to fly too. cobb listened politely, looking prim in her tailored dress with three strands of pearls around her neck. what's wrong with minorities serving as astronauts if they're qualified, she thought to herself. johnson did not answer her question. she continued, if the vice president were proposing t

point is used against the president one could make the same charge about john kennedy, precisely the same charge about lyndon johnson. it seems to me the president is there to use political judgment, not to bring disinterested intellectually validated expertise to the subject. i think if there's a charge to be made, the charge is that his determination to maximize employment and minimize the inflation rate by november 1972, a strategy that worked in conjunction with extraordinary success, had very considerable medium run consequences. the inflation rate which bottomed out in november '72 rose in every single month between december 1972 and august 1974, and he bequeathed an inflation rate to his successor of three times that which he inherited from his predecessor. so there are -- the temporal nature of policy making was something which i think he was inadequately tutored on. i'm not sure he was entirely appropriately supported on at least by arthur burns and it was something of which he himself i think had rather slight understanding. so the answer is nuanced in he had his political interest was very clear, his pref
