i'm sure we would get some dispute on that from london and the library of congress but i'm sticking with it. i'm also sticking with this. i thank you for joining me here tonight to hear about the world's greatest investigative reporter seymour hersh, the scoop artist. i see a lot of friends and former students and the rest of you i don't know but i suspect you may be here because you are part of a legion of fans and maybe some of you are enemies of seymour hersh. he has a huge following of friends and a huge following of enemies. a number of years ago "the new yorker" magazine beside hirsh worked for many years for a decade when over the million marc in circulation and david remnick the editor of "new yorker" magazine asked how did you get to 1 million he chuckled and said well we have cited hirsh and that push them over the million marc. thank you all for being here tonight. i also want to thank the new york public library deborah hirsh and my former student for interviewing. i spent what should my academic career across the street at the new york public library three to 1985 in the mid

library of congress, another one where congressional research services have, very important to what we do. hopefully as we go forward we'll be able to do more in some of these areas but i think given what we had, we've done reasonably well. while these have been tough decisions, they've been made in a bipartisan manner with cooperation between the majority and minority with appropriations on the legislative branch subcommittee. my friend did point to the senate and i suppose we always have a little bit of envy of the other body in terms of its funding. i would suggest while their expenditures have gone up, they been particularly dynamic in their legislative performance, and frankly, you know, far be it from me to offer a definitive opinion, we normally let institution do what they want to do, but i'm always appy for the contrast in the budget of a republican house and a democratic senate because i think it's clear which sun w sun serious about fiscal responsibility and which one is not. i suspect we'll have that debate going forward but i thank my friend for his remarks and his focus o

pointed there a book out a week or so ago, it was copyrighted originally in 1942, library of congress has this book, "the road we are traveling," and it's interesting, he basically talks about the ways socialism and communism had failed. and socialism and communism, those are bad words, so you don't want to call it that. we know it is called progressivism. but page 95, he talks about basically -- and i'm quoting, in "war and peace," the march towards centralized collective controls has continued. planning has often been identified with socialism. yet orthodox socialists themselves are far from pleased with the practice in russia, germany, italy, japan and spain and look with grave suspicion on the new deal. something has appeared that nobody anticipated, nobody wanted or nobody understands. this was written in 1942. they have called it the manage earl revolution. in the first attempt to understand it, more studies will be seen before the mystery is cleared up. we have something called x, which is displacing the system of free enterprise all over the world. if we do not know yet what t
