what it does is it creates a friendship between humboldt and lafayette.o years later, humboldt will write and say, thank you for introducing us. the third person they are hanging around with his simone bolivar, who encourages him to go back to his home country and free them from spanish colonial rule. we have these three revolutionaries who are hanging out, driving napoleon crazy. he thinks they are all spies. he wants them expelled from the country. they are all writing letters to each other. they skip his coronation because they really don't want to be part of that, and they set up this pro-american enclave in paris that becomes really important during the war of 1812 when humboldt will actually be part of the treaty proceedings for the treaty of ghent to settle the war of 1812. he is arguing on our behalf, even though they are in ghent and london. he will meet john quincy adams and henry clay. john quincy adams will come to paris with him and they will both go to science lectures in paris and hang around together. literally, there is a sense that going

i did not think that lafayette square would be quite in the news as it has been when i put together this presentation. but we need to thank mrs. kennedy for preserving it because in the eisenhower administration, there had been a movement supported by the president to take down the beautiful 19th century town homes surrounding lafayette square. in a way, they are viewed as an adjunct to the white house. sort of the presidents part if you will. one of those town homes was dolly madison's, where she had lived after the presidency and after her husband had died. mrs. kennedy got wind that might be torn down to put up a new high rise office buildings for the burgeoning federal bureaucracy. she approached her husband and asked if that could be held off. they brought in their mutual friend jack more nikki, the west coast architect who specialized in historic preservation, and you can see him and miss kennedy with an architectural rendering of what it now looks like at lafayette square. that these low rise, red brick office buildings for federal offices are there to this day, but so are the bea

it was supposedly directly from gates and the board of war to lafayette. the reaction to this in the army itself was explosive. we have two reactions that are really worth mentioning. -- whilerom the french his titles not abbasid or -- he was the equivalent of the french ambassador. andre gerard and he was to keep the french court apprised of what was going on politically in america. he was very close, had his ear close to the ground, his contacts in congress and outside congress were very good. when the word of the abruption became public gerard immediately the court,etter to and i'm quoting right now, "the entire proposal was the cabal against washington. " i do not see how it could be interpreted as anything else. n even more revealing letter was written by a member of congress and this is joseph reed, pennsylvania. aid tod also been in washington and his relationship was quite tepid. , washington had inadvertently been aware of correspondence between another charles lee and reed, and where he had become critical of washington and impressed with gates.

kennedy with an architectural rendering of what it now looks like at lafayette square. that these low rise, red brick office buildings for federal offices are there to this day, but so are the beautiful town homes, historic town homes. and the office buildings almost fade into the background. you almost don't even notice they are there. so with that we will move to the next. part of that diplomacy in addition to the cultural side that stewart mentioned, mrs. kennedy was a goodwill ambassador, so when she traveled with her husband and their famous trip to paris in 1961, the u.s. was having difficulty with an ally. charles de gaulle was an ally. he often wanted to go his own way. in the cold war alliance of the four powers, the three that were now democracies in holding tight to the free world, the soviets going their own way into the communist world, he is completely mesmerized by mrs. kennedy here. she can speak fluent french from her year abroad, junior year abroad in college. she had spent it in france. and she usually wore beautiful gowns and suits because he was an

people didn't want the military involved on june 1st when they cleared lafayette square so president trump could go through the tear gas and hold up a bible in front of the church. the next 13 days ahead of us, what does it look like from your vantage point because as i said at the top, president trump has vowed to continue to fight to make america great in his words. >> well, we are going to have a pack of troubles overseas as a result of this and we shouldn't lose sight of that. think about how this is going received. yesterday, i got dozens of emails from senior military and political figures abroad saying, jim, what's going on in your country? this will have long-term impact on our ability to bring our allies together. do you think the europeans want to stand with us against china after watching scenes like this? they'll have their doubts. exact swing countries like vietnam, which way will they break in all of this? and finally, moscow, beijing. tehran. pyongyang, talk about high fives, talk about opportunity. if you're sitting in beijing, you are thinking, what can i do to take

it was directly from gates and the board of war to lafayette.n the army to this itself was explosive. that arewo reactions really worth something. his title was not ambassador but he was the equivalent of the french ambassador. gerard. andre he reported directly to the french foreign minister of virginia. them in theto keep french quarter abreast of what was going on in america. close to the ground. his contacts in congress and outside of congress were very good. when the word of the interruption became public, to himgot off a letter and he explained it, am quoting from him right now. the entire proposal was a cabal : "the cabal against washington." i don't see how it could be anything else. and even more revealing letter was written by a member of congress, joseph reed, pennsylvanian. reed served asr, an aid to washington. his relationship with washington was quite tepid. 1776, washington had inadvertently become aware of anotherndence between american general, generally and joseph reed. it was clear that reed had become critical of washington

the portraits of washington and lafayette.e house collection was lafayette. he had been such a young man during the american revolution that as late as the 1820's he was still around. he came and did a tour of the u.s. before returning to france. at the time, in the early 1820's, that picture was presented to the house of representatives. he's the first foreign dignitary to address the congress as well. and because he had been such a great friend of washington's, as well as one of his strongest allies, there's also a portrait of washington there that was subsequently commissioned to match the portrait of lafayette. that's an example of the way our history continues to thread through what we do. wherever the house has met since they first arrived here in this congress -- what, 100 years ago -- 180 years ago? >> the people can make a difference. and i think that's what every member of congress has to recall, that they have been given the gift by their constituents to come here and make a difference and they should spend every da
