james weldon johnson was the first african-american executive secretary of the naacp. but it's important to note that prior to his becoming the first, there were five other executive secretaries, none of whom were african-american. it's important to note that the naacp accords an award annually, it is known as the stengarn medal. this is given to a person who has made great achievements in the area of helping the human rights and civil rights struggle. it's important to note that the medal is named after joel. the spingarn family were great contributors to the naacp. in fact, thurgood marshall was a great litigater in part because of other persons who made contributions to the naacp, they were great contributors and as a result we had this litigation to go forward. the naacp is an organization that welcomes anyone who desires to be a part of the fight for human dignity and human freedom. i believe that the naacp merits this special expression from the congress of the united states of america and i also believe that we should thank senator dodd becaase he has the senate

part of the problem we have had is we have been trying to fight president johnson's war with president reagan's military. this military is not suited for this type of fighting. we put it together in reaction to the vietnam experience. without the anticipation that we would find ourselves in a similar situation. our assumption is regardless about how you feel about these wars, nobody talks about that was a good idea. when people look back and say that was an investment of $1 trillion focus on 1% of the people. how much progress were we able touy. we are still spendg sums equal to the gdp of the countries. i don't think anybody is thinking about repeating that. what we want to do is lock in a guaranteed. we are not going to find rselves in that slope ain. >> there are allies i feel commitment to. there is taiwan, south korea. nobody is talking about significant numbers of ground troops. there is a technological aspect. i think it goes back about human rights. the focus ought to be on democrats in -- democratic societies. intervening in a civil war does not wor ery well because of the bag
