kennedy's campaign. a lot of the major players in the kennedy administration started out on the senate staff with that permanent subcommittee and investigation. actually, that was not the permanent subcommittee. that was a special committee that was created out of the labor committee and the permanent subcommittee. so it was a hybrid type of community that was created. robert f. kennedy announced in 1968 that he was running for president in this room. when senator kennedy died, the senate named this room for all three kennedy brothers, john, robert and edward and all had some major event in their career and some hearings, like the jimmy hoffa hearings, to announcing their candidacies to chairing other investigations, to have the nominations that were held in here. so this room is now called the kennedy caucus room. 1973, the watergate hearings opened. it was a turning point for the investigation. john mccarthy had given a bad name to investigations. it gave a certain stigma to the investigation. they inv

kennedy. nixon and kennedy were friends in congress. their office was across the hall from each other. and they were both shy. nixon and kennedy had a lot in common in that sense. they were friends. kennedy gave nixon a campaign donation in 1950 or his father for about $1,000 for is about $20,000 today. they ran against each other in 1960 and many of you saw images from the debate of kennedy cool and tan and nixon sweating through his bad make-up. nixon prepared by grinding all day long and kennedy prepared by taking a nap and listening to peggy lee records. it was just a terrible defeat for nixon obviously. but what really got to nixon was kennedy was quoted as saying nixon had quote no class. and that was deeply wounding for nixon. even worse, nixon believes that kennedy assaulted him in the election. in illinois, you know a lot of historians think illinois probably was soletolen. nixon nixon would have needed one more state. he was a good guy by not challenging this. but he was bitter. nixon thought the kennedy's were better at dirty

not president kennedy, not the attorney general kennedy not later president johnson. john brown had gone to the oldest pitcher to get money for the universities research centers. she was one of us and when he starts standing up to george wallace and the alabama legislature on the race issue use, that means something. he's not somebody from somewhere else or a washington bureaucrat he is at huntsville. there were a lot of people that wrote him bringing up the past saying we thought you understood us. and essentially calling him a race traitor standing up and advocating civil rights. whether he was truly a civil libertarian he's seen the light and has been converted or whether he just wanted to build rockets and would say and do whatever cleared the path. >> it depends on what you want to read. and there are good biographies on bob brown this is a wonderful place to start. >> we have a story in the book. when he was preparing to run for president, he decides he is going to invite the national press to come along. he made the decision to come to nasa to say look what i b

himself and jack kennedy. >> ms. crowley: he never said i did this and kennedy did this. he said while the candidates did that in the third person which i thought was interesting. he considered kennedy a challenger and thought he had a constructive relationship with him when they were in the congress together. he did think, though, kennedy had been a reckless president, reckless in his personal life and with the national security. >> ms. crowley: ford pardoned him. did he talk about that? no. he said he didn't think ford was in the presidency long enough to issue a judgment on ford's presidency. >> host: here is a quote about gerald ford from the book. . poor gerald ford. he was concerned about presidential photos and me signing them. he calls me for that. he's busy making speeches for big money. no one gives me credit for not taking a time for a speech. ford was the first to take money. ike and truman never did. ford is out there accumulating a fortune by selling their experiences in office. i know it is tempting but it is just not right. besides when ford talks does any

luckily the original members of the kennedy foundation where the kennedy family and they donated their papers to the kennedy library and they open them. most of those papers were foundation papers. they were copies of memos so i was able to get access to the records anyway into the diligent help of the kennedy library archives. >> i have a question about the president's declassification. if i understand in the nonpresidential papers the billions of papers in the archives if the agency that generates the document that gets to decide when it's classified, is that right? >> yes it does. i will handed hand it over to a greater expert in the field. >> the question i have is about the presidential libraries so in this case you have tried that individuals, these foundations which are often families at least in the beginning that are connected to the families and in these cases they are the ones who are making the decisions about the classification. >> let me make sure this is correct previous are all archivists or members of the national declassification center which was formed a few years ag

kennedy: he is not going to drop out?ing nice, rand paul has got to be, i think, consider the biggest disappointment in the gop field. he's not doing well, his campaign is flailing and i thought that he was awful in the debate. of course he had brought up this stupid thing about the handshake, which is like, you didn't need to do that. but i would like to think that he's going hard-core against donald trump because he honestly believes that. he's doing it strictly as a political move. >> i think what ted cruz is doing is a preferable strategy. i have to disagree on rand paul. no one should attack him. i think that carly fiorina has had it. she has refused to attack him above the fray. you can distance yourself from comments, but at the same time not throw another republican under the bus. >> what about trump attacking others? >> i don't think that's happening either. >> if he's bullying other people and calling them losers and. >> marco rubio said that i'm not going to comment about them because if i do so it's going to b

kennedy cautioned him but he kept picking away. what about a barber shop on the second floor of an existing building in new hampshire. we expect the board barber to install an elevator to accommodate a wheelchair using customer need america? john sununu kept rebutting these objections and finally john sununu became irritated, began speaking in a controlled voice but want to wait to more impassion jones. every time i say something you bring something up. i don't want to hear from you any more. -sitting between them was shuffling his papers trying to affect how to defend his own aid when kennedy jumped to his feet, his bulky frame crating seismic jolt as they crashed against the table. the hours of negotiation, years of maneuvering to get this bill through congress were taking their toll. harkin remembered i thought kennedy was going to grab john sununu by the court. kennedy pointed at him and said you want the let anybody you yell at me or senator harkin, not the staff, go after the big boys. you got something to say, say it to me.

kennedy. nixon and kennedy were friends. the office was across the hall from each other. nixon recognize something. they were both shy. nixon and kennedy have a lot of common innocents. they were both shy and. they were friends. candidate did nixon a campaign donation in 1950, or from his father really for $1000, which is about $20,000 today. then, of course, there ran against each other. many of you have either seen images from that debate, kennedy gould and can't come and pour nixon sweating through his bad makeup. nixon prepared by grinding all day long over preparing. candidate prepared by taking a nap and listening to peggy lee records. it was just a terrible defeat for nixon obviously, but what really got to nixon was kennedy was quoted as saying that nixon had quote no class. that was deeply wounding for nixon. even worse, nixon believed with some reasoning that nixon stole the election. in illinois as you all know there's a lot of historians today who think probably illinois was told by the democrats. nixon would've needed one more state to in attacks as they also

kennedy had great faith in cooper's judgment and discernment.n a sensitive diplomatic mission to the soviet union. the president wanted to get a better sense of the soviet intentions and trusted cooper to carry out the delicate mission. kennedy also urged others to seek cooper's advice, including his own brother. as senator ted kennedy recalled, “i arrived in the senate at the ripe age of 30 years old. i was looking for counsel, advice. after talking to my brother, he mentioned to me that someday when i'm in the u.s. senate and an issue comes up for me and passions are aroused and voices are high, if you really want to know the unvarnished truth and you want the facts on the issue, go to john sherman cooper and you will receive them.” jackie kennedy shared her husband's admiration for cooper's judgment. she marveled at how often there would be a point hotly argued or a bind you could not see your way out of and how often his voice was listened to and how usually his view was the path that turned out to be the obvious right one. sadly, john coope

david kennedy: i agree with that answer. let me just add that the question that you asked was on the minds of people at the time and the advocates of strategic airpower caused something to be formed called the strategic bombing survey which was a scientific and systematic attempt to answer the question. after months if not years of study my psychologist and economists -- by psychologists and economists, trying to answer the question of, what was the effect, the good that come up with a conclusive answer. it remained an elusive thing. one of the pieces of data that came out is relevant today. i am doing this from memory so i might not get the numbers precisely right. it turned out that on average in the air campaign in europe, to be certain of the destruction of one target of something -- took something on the order of 170 airplanes dropping 648 tons of bombs because the bombing techniques were so inaccurate and we could not deliver the ordinance with precision. it was kind of a crude method of warfare which is part of the re
