to me, the most striking resemblance is john randolph. he was tall, he was lean, he had hunting dogs, i have hunting dogs. he looks really young for his age. my staff, on the other hand, picked stevens, the youngest of four children and he liked to wear large, ill-fitting suits. a little bit of an office debate about this. but the chairman who had the biggest effect on me are the chairmen who are sitting here in this room tonight. bill thomas, bill archer, dave camp, and a person who is a fantastic ranking member, jim mcrery, it's great to see you guys. p [ applause ] i was the young guy. i came here when i was 28. i aspired to be on this committee. people told me no chance, you can't get on this committee. ended up getting on here and just looked at the people who were in the fast lane, the people who actually knew how to get things done, and it's these gentlemen right here that taught me so much. and i had just this it amazing flashback today. it was in one of the rooms that ways and means has and the flashback was bill thomas saw me, c

. >> was john randolph's daughter married to robert lee? >> no, there was -- robert e. lee was married to -- like george washington's granddaughter or great granddaughter or something like that. but randolph was somehow -- he was akin to everyone. he was a relation. okay. [applause] >> thank you so much. >> thank you for joining us everyone, have a wonderful afternoon. the john locke foundation. here is our prime time lineup. at 8:15 congressmen talks about recent book, guardian of the republic. followed at 10:00 with charles thoughts on how to reduce the power of the federal government through the use of technology and at 11:00 a look at japan as tomorrow marks the anniversary of the u.s. bombing. >> the corner and joining us right now is one of the actors that's exhibiting and talking about his book. he's the author of gas money. >> it's a little small town in virginia. >> why does it matter to you? >> it provided me with the foundation that i ended up with, it's the place that made me me. all of the people that changed my life, that's where everyone organize -- when

also in the chapter on macon and randolph john taylor was also a name that would -- he would have been a good fit with the old republicans but i just decide today limit -- decided to limit it tomayo -- macon and randolph. he didn't have the impact, so -- >> you mentioned about on conservative. it appears that no one who said they're conservative will govern as conservative. >> well, that's our challenge. let me back up one second and make one thing clear. several people have asked me about the comment on the final chapter, well there is a final chapter in the book but i want to make it clear that i don't think that's the final chapter in conservatism. i think there's going to be future chapters, i certainly hope so. i think you're right. if you look back at the leaders who have really been successful at governing and i would suggest look at cleveland and reagan also, i mean, cleveland is just a great example. he vetoed stuff right and left and didn't care what the public -- what good is it elected if you don't stand for anything. adamant that he was going to continue on that course. he

norman vincent randolph was 15 years old when he joined the 24th battalion of partisan rangers commanded by major john scott, the gentleman who wrote the partisan ranger act for the confederate government. that was in 1862 when randolph joined that unit. he would eventually join mosby. he would be badly wounded and return to mosby's command and be with him until the end of the war. now on 21, april, 1865, mosby disbanded rather than surrender his men in salem, today's marshall, virginia. the majority of the rangers at that expanding with the next day to winchester seeking their roles, but a small group of rangers remained with mosby. mosby's intent was to travel to north carolina and link up with joseph johnston, who at that time was still fighting. in that small group of rangers seeking to continue, were both ben palmer and norman vincent randolph. the picture you see at the bottom of the page with the group of men, you see ben palmer on your left, norman vincent randolph on your right, that photo was taken probably august of 1865 in richmond after the men had truly ended the war. i spent the majorit
