lee knows that. theigade commander fights -- rights the following about his men. " such a filthy and unprintable set of villains i have never seen. they have lost on honor or decency, all sense of right or respect for property. i had to strike many a one with my savior. they are new -- the offices are nearly as bad as the men. when they thought they were going into a fight, six out of 10 did not come up until they thought all things were over. more than half my brigade went off that day. he is describing an army that is in rough shape. right below that, dr. lewis a u.s. sanitary commission dr. in frederick, maryland. he talked to a lot of confederates when they occupied frederick. he said they all believe in themselves as well as in the generals, and are generally in earnest. he thought they were pretty tough. one of the things the confederate army has as a big strength is most of the soldiers in the army are combat veterans. they are experienced combat veterans, trained combat veterans. goodas very

lee allow us to do this. i want to thank her and thanked the lee family as well. i'm sure there were a lot of people who wanted to name things after mayor lee and for the family to say, yes, this school feels right, means a lot to us too. it speaks to what we are doing in the school dressed strict -- school district. i am very proud to be part of this. i think the last thing i will say, school names matter. they do communicate. to children, who they should look up to. who is valued and whether their cultures and their community and our diversity is fully respected , and for this service that ed and anita lee have contributed to our kids and to our school scent to our city. i cannot think of a more powerful statement to the kids of today and of the future to put this name on the building. thank you to everybody for doing this and i'll be very probably supporting this this evening. >> thank you. commissioner norton? >> i want to add my thanks to the authors of resolution for bringing this forward. everything that i know about mayor lee and his career, i think is he

it lee.ve why does -- move it lee. don't say lee invade maryland. which is red dot centreville menear manassas and where all the union troops are gathered within fortifications. lee has some options available to him. initiative. he's got three essentially options that i see. he can invest washington, d.c., besiege the city. going to be able to besiege the city because he entirely but he can besiege part of it. that maintains the pressure on and federal army. when you have a army outside gate that is pressure. negative is his men can't eat. supplies in northern virginia. that option isn't going to work. second option, withdraw to warrent reestablish your supply line, re-equip your army poorly supplied. condition me of the value less sent -- convalescent wounded and sick men and the army will be bigger. safe move. negative. surrender the initiative to the enemy. if you know robert e. lee he likes to do that. option.aryland, third leaves northern virginia open. battlefield of second manassas, still trying to collect the equipment off the field. give a

lee told me afterwards, i was so surprised. he said, you know, in congress the chairman is everything and the vice chairman is nothing. so when you said that i was both happy and shocked. anyway, we worked that way all the way through. lee and i agreed on working together all the way through. we agreed with each other on most things. >> i mentioned earlier that people have come to take for granted the 9/11 commission's success. when i look at the list, there were some pretty partisan people on that commission. i remember you saying at one point that the commission was designed to fail. reflect on that a little bit and talk more about what you and lee did to make sure that didn't happen. >> lee and i, chairman and vice chairman, whatever, you get a lot of credit. the commissioners were terrific. richard was one of the best and he is here, so richard, thank you. thank you so much. [ applause ] and the second thing is, what i called the wind in our sails. the families of 9/11. they were there all the way. they lobbied for our repo

lee's battles. when i drive through the fredericksburg, spotsylvania, battlefield system, i am aching of how it all interrelates. i'm a huge fan of robert e. lee myself. these four battlefields which surround this area are the mecca for me. as well as the rangers, they like to talk about other subjects too from time to time. what is the point of robert e. lee fighting all of these battles in the fredericksburg area? the point is, ladies and gentlemen, he is trying to win the war. how do you win the war? according to robert e. lee, if you're going to win it through military means, you probably have to win a decisive battle or on virginia soil or at least a victory on northern soil. robert e. lee knows he can keep whipping the yankees time and time again, but what does it solve? what does it accomplish? after the battle of chancellorsville, robert e. lee is going to get the opportunity . he has the initiative area and and he is going to use that opportunity to invade the north. map is not have mountai

lee. robert e. lee stopped talking to james longstreet and turned to another confederate general who serves under james longstreet. lee says can you get your troops from point a and oint b and asks him to deploy his men perpendicular to the road. he is going to cross a t and attack north toward gettysburg. lee says perpendicular to the road, meaning he wants to attack toward gettysburg. lee takes a little stick that they used to show the movement of the troops. this is the plan he comes up with. longstreet is going to ask for one more division. then he would have at least two of his divisions together. he is not available for the july 2 battle. longstreet has 14,000 men. what he is going to do is march to the south end of the battlefield. his idea is to attack up the emmitsburg road. idea is to take off from chancellorsville. on the left end of the confederate monument, this could turn into a big attack. that is what robert e. lee is to do, as he is acting as an army commander. longstreet will attac

lee move -- robert e. lee believes the union is moving behind him not towards him. he calls a junction of his forces and gettysburg to keep the union army on the eastern side or the washington side of the mountains. make sense? how about around the applause. thank you very much. [applause] it?asn't too good, was and ie have the first day like to say, once again this is not an overview of the battle or any stretch of the imagination. i like to say that the battle of ends uprg and's up -- in a confederate victory. what i like to say in summation of the first day is i think it is the worst thing that could have possibly happened to robert e. lee. the first dayins and it sets up the next two days. if you lost the first date you might have got away from it. but he wins, when you are winning, i don't know if you've ever pulled a slot machine, when you are winning it is fun. [laughter] when it is not, it is not. they chased the union forces renewsd robert e. lee the offensive the next day on the second day. he ends up attacking the end of the union line at places like peac

so the first thing i said to lee and something lee would tell you if he were here, i didn't know about this i said, we have both been appointed here, but we are equal and we are going to work together and i'm not going to do anything you don't think is right and we will make the decisions jointly. i thought that was the normal thing to do. lee told me afterwards, he said i was so surprised he said in congress, the chairman is everything. in the vice chairman is nothing. so when you said that, i was happy and shocked. but we worked that way all the way through. lee and i agreed on everything all the way through. we would agree with each other on most things. >> people have taken for granted the 9/11 success. when i look at the list, there were some partisan people on the commission. i remember you saying at one point that the commission was designed to fail. talk about what you and lee did. >> bni with chairman and vice chairman the commissioners were terrific. richard is here, so thank you so much. [applause] the second thing is what i call the wind in our sales, the families of 9/11.

lee: yeah. i think they are happy to hear about our outreach efforts and frankly sometimes magnifying our outreach efforts and our products and that's really beneficial. don: right. allie: one last one for me. do you guys -- how are you working with the committees? obviously there is the rnc, dnc, and all that. and also vendors. i mean, campaigns smarl so they out source a lot. obviously the national campaign is a way to enter a campaign. a campaign is a way to open the door to a national committee which has tons of donors and people who are not being educated by you guys. what is your guidance on that issue? don: i think the committees and vendors especially the larger ones are excellent multipliers. it tends to be campaigns managed by a great vendor or agency and have a great relationship with the committees that are in best shape. they do a great job make shurge they are secure and following best practices. from that perspective terrific. but there are still people not necessarily captured by

lee is a longtime friend and former colleague.lee has earned great respect for members of both sides of the aisle for his exceptional leadership on ladders of foreign-policy and national security. served as an example with his formative intellects, tireless work ethic and nonpartisanship. i'm not surprised to be signed up along with you for this next step. you know what a privilege it is to work with lee. while our political careers have some parallels, lee achieved many milestones including one that i will always envy and never achieve. he was inducted into the indiana basketball hall of fame. [applause] trust me, as far as hoosiers or can turn, nothing else you can do in life comes close to that achievement. the lifetime of service to this nation is truly remarkable. from governor of new jersey to cochair the 9/11 commission to drew university, tom is widely respected for his approach of leadership and willingness and ability to work with others to achieve a common goal. so we gather to honor these two man on the somber annivers

mayor ed lee and anita lee are people that inspire each and every one of us to aspire to be better people than we are each and every day. these are people who made and to make a positive difference for the people of san francisco. mayor ed lee was a champion for education. under his administration,, our district and our city shared one of the strongest partnerships supporting children, families, immigrants, and public education ed lee was an unassuming leader, who led with his heart. he was thoughtful, intelligent, and joyful. he was the kind of leader that i aspire to be like. all these different pieces of who he was, and how he came across connect with a kind of learning environment we want our newcomer school to be like, for immigrant children and their families.

the minna lee is a celebration of 50 more solutions. in our collective effort toward ending chronic homelessness in san francisco. and that is something to celebrate for sure. i'd like to thank our partners, s.h.s. and to echo everything that the mayor just said about a team coming together, a true partnership and that was h.s.h. and dish. specifically, again, i would like to thank jeff for his leadership and his drive to really kind of open every door and really tackle every issue, like kicking down the door to make things happen. it takes courage. and i really want to thank you, jeff, for your continued coverage and our efforts together. thank you. i want to thank terry abbott. i know she was new on to the scene. i want to thank her for her leadership. i want to thank margo ancanetti who has always been there in the supportive housing realm and has guided us and has been a true partner. and, of course, there is the dish tale. i really want to thank you guys. special thank you to lauren and to doug. and their leadership of dish who nev

i worked with olson lee when he was with the mayor's office of housing and ed lee, and so many people who fought for r.a.d., while others tried to stop r.a.d. i didn't want the conditions of public housing to continue to persist. and i want to thank the san francisco housing authority, who helped to lead this particular effort. and i want to thank our community partner because it is a partnership that gets us to a place like this. thank you, reverend fong and chinatown community development for not only taking on the responsibility of helping to manage this property, but doing it with love, making sure that you work with the residents so that they understood that they were derchfinitely going to be coming back, that you tried to find locations for them that were convenient for them so that their routines were not knocked out of whack. in plaza east, those units were torn down and only 200 were rebuilt, and many weren't coming back. we're changing that. we're changing how we displace residents -- well, not displace. excuse me. that's not the best word. how we make sure when we're remod

i'm here to support steven lee's -- or commissioner lee's reappointment. i believe he's the most qualified person for this commission, not because of just his ties to the night life and hospitality committee, but also, i've known steven lee about 15 years, and what i admire the most about him is his ties and his reach to different generations. again, i'm a 15 year veteran, started from -- as a promotor, and i can see that the people like i started today, steven lee can reach out to them and represent them in the entertainment commission. so it's great to have someone like him that understands different generations. thank you. >> clerk: next speaker. >> hello, esteemed commissioners. i'm here to support mr. lee. i happened to meet mr. lee back in 1999 when i was an investor in a nightclub, and he happened to introduce me to who is now my wife when i met him, and we are still together, this young lady and i. mr. lee is a pillar in the night life industry. he also knows how to run a club and how to help people make it in this -- in this city of san francisco,

lee: thank you. mr. speaker, i rise to rizz to remember the life and legacy of a great social justice waror, congressman ryan dellham who passed away on july 30678 the cricks that ron made to our community, the nation and the world are endless. as a former marine and first african-american to serve on the house armed services committee and later to become its chair, he was a true tray taye property -- patriot and hero. as co-found ore they have congressional black caucus and congressional progressive cawcurks he fought for the civil and human rights for everyone in america and around the world and he fought to end poverty. as a social worker he made his life mission to make for the most vulnerable. that was evident in his fight against the brutal apartheid regime leading to the passage of his south africa sanctions bill after introducing it 11 times. president reagan vetoed the bill and congress overroad the -- overrode the veetosme i am blessed to have called ron my dear friend , my predecessor, my ment

supplies to lee's army. finally starting it outand forcing them to flee . and forces surrender. that was then the third confederate army that grant captured. robert ely never captured a single union army. >>. [indiscernible] >> it's the most touching part of the story because he refuses to allow his soldiers to celebrate. is very generous. the confederate soldiers are are starving. he issues rations to feed them. really i think the most beautiful passage and grants memoir is about the meeting at - - because grant instead he was sad and depressed when he met lee. he writes, i felt like anything rather than rejoicing over the downfall of a faux who fought with such ballervalor and suffe such hardship for a cause. even though the cause was the worst any army could have fought for. i think it's a beautiful statement. we've had a prolonged discussion about the confederate monuments and i think grant paved the way. on one hand in that passage, he pays homage to the bravery of the confederate soldiers and they were

lee might be trying lee's preset to positions. clausewitz says operational value is derived more from the presence than from its efforts and from the engagements it might offer rather than those that actually fight. it was never intended to stop an enemy's movements, but whether the rate of a pendulum to moderate and regulate them so as to make them calculable. elements ofes the the first corp on the early morning of july 1. he starts off moving only s division. some regarded him as impulsive. he just moved out with wadsworth division. the other two divisions will be an hour behind. that did not seem to faze reynolds. .e accepted that before that, reynolds left and he reviewed with him what he wanted to do. to go to want gettysburg and if i am met with overwhelming resistance, i am going to fall back to emmitsburg. he recited to doubleday exactly what george meade had told him in his june 30 letter, exactly. in battles of it leaders. he told me we would fall back to emmitsburg, which is exactly what george meade had told him. reyn

jackson lee: mr. speaker, it's my pleasure to yield to the subcommittee ranking member of the immigration committee on judiciary, zo lofgren, one minute. two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for two minutes. ms. lofgren: mr. speaker, there is some things in this bill that probably make sense and there are some things in this bill that i think are very poorly crafted and will have adverse implications for juvenile law, for sentencing reform. we should have had a hearing. we should have looked into this whole matter and come up with something that we could all support. now, one of the things i hate to say, there is a sense of urgency here. the problem is the majority sat on their hands. this decision, the supreme court, was april 17 of this year. what did the committee do in response? nothing. nothing. no bill was introduced. no hearings were held. and then last week this piece of legislation was introduced, rushed to the floor without adequate thought. yes, we need to act

lee was the best they had. no kind of organization like the bmi. >> yes, sir. >> you mentioned the pinkerton's earlier. how large a role did they play in getting information during this time? >> the question was allan pinkerton. he wrote a book about this. if you believe him, a lot. he did very good work. at the beginning of the war, he was hired by george mcclellan when he became the commander of the army of the potomac. mcclellan is an intelligence minded guy. he needed someone there. he knew pinkerton from the railroads. pinkerton probably saved abraham lincoln's life in 1861 as lincoln came through baltimore. there was a plot to kill him. pinkerton figured out a way to get lincoln through baltimore into washington for his inauguration. i think he did human service. pinkerton and mcclellan, pinkerton adored mcclellan and mcclellan was a guy who really knew how to organize armies, but was not good at being able to fight them. what happens is, he believes throughout the entirety of the peninsula campaign up to

lee: thank you, congresswoman jackson lee. thank you for telling us what an honor he was. ron was determined to put together a coalition between african-americans and latinos in houston, he and mickey leland was very close and he worked very closely to the latino community. to really put together the agenda that spoke to both of our communities. so thank you very much for being here and reminding us of that. he was a coalition-builder. i called him the father of coalition politics. you laid that out tonight. mr. speaker, how much time do we have remaining? the speaker pro tempore: six minutes. ms. lee: thank you. i'd like to come down and close. mr. speaker, we've heard quite a bit tonight of the life and legacy of a great human being, a great warriors for peace and justice, congressman ron dellums. let me highlight a couple of -- couple of stories that weren't highlighted tonight that i would like to share. first of all, ron really worked in a bipartisan fashion on many, many issues, and i remember that ron and former speaker newt gingrich, i remember them talking about c
