when he first heard what mansfield was trying to do he said he that could not work in the senate but yet it did work although it wasn't that easy but it worked the senate responded to the crisis of civil rights in the kennedy assassination but part of what mansfield instilled and what the senators felt they represented their state vigorously as democrats or republicans cared about their party but an overriding national commitment like john mccain's new phrase, phrase, country first they were there for the national interest but that also meant that what mansfield insisted individual agendas that we are here to make the senate work subordinate your individual agenda for the need for collective action that is what we are here for. so they took up issues and they argued, took their votes, the end of the day they knew they had to take collective action nobody want all the time absolutely that the notion that they were there to make the senate work was important to them now we see the opposite senator mcconnell in particular has shown no interest to make the senate work. he is undermined t

remarkably, rankin's march into senator mansfield's office was not her last trip to the capital. in 1969, she testified on behalf of the direct election of presidents. she wanted to eliminate the electoral college. in 1970, she returned to the rayburn building for her own 90th birthday party. now in a wheelchair, she reveled in the praise members of congress heaped on her. in 1985, montana sent a statue of her to the collection. now, rankin stands at attention, greeting thousands of schoolchildren as they stream in for tours of the capital. it depicts a bold woman, clear it depicts a bold woman, clear it depicts a bold woman, clear eyes, boldly facing the future. the phrase "i cannot vote for war" is written across the statue. when these words were first uttered, they were called weak, nervous. now, they represent the courage of jeannette rankin, the first woman elected to congress and the only one to vote against both world wars. she has inspired countless members of congress who followed to achieve firsts of their own. they are likely to look back on jeannette rankin with fondn

study author julie mansfield conducted tests on multiple rear facing seats. all were effective at absorbing the force of the crash and protecting the child. >> those crash forces are going to be transferred from the shell of the car seat into the vehicles seat and into the frame of the vehicle. that keeps the crash energy away from the occupant himself. >> the american academy of pediatrics says parents should keep their toddlers in rear facing seats until they are 2 years old or when they reach the maximum height and weight. >> the rear facing seat does a good job of keeping the head, neck and spine aligned and supported. >> and that can save a child's life. >>> b.a.r.t. is tackling a new problem at its stations, those lime green bikes popping up all over the place and being left on platforms and sidewalks. b.a.r.t. is trying to figure out what to do with that. the bikes are dockless. that means people can leave them wherever they want, like here, outside the b.a.r.t. station in south san francisco. b.a.r.t. wants the bike stowed in a designated area that's

senate on behalf of former majority leader mike mansfield. the idea is they become senate's records and they would come to the national archives and become part of the official senate collection which they are today. the collection has about 2400 of cliffo clifford berryman's cartoons. when the collection came to us in the early '90s, we spent a lot of time dating the collection and going up to the mlk library and finding out when these cartoons of their titles and dates. jim berryman was also a cartoonist, we had this great cartoon that clifford berryman drew in 1939. this was his christmas card that year and they just moved to the family house in northwest washington and he sent this out to all their friends and family announcing their new address but also holiday greetings. >> so an archive is not a place where documents go to die. we use this very rich collection and a variety of ways, first of all, all of the berryman cartoons that we have in our collection are available in the national archive catalogs and you can see it online. we use

because of the difference in tax rates making it more likely company will shut down in doffer and mansfield and move overseas. it wasn't -- instead, i offered -- first time i met president trump was at a meeting of a dozen senators. mostly republicans. maybe four, five democrats, the rest republicans on the tax bill. we met in the cabinet room. i told him of two bills i had. the first was to talk about the tax reform. i said i have two bills. one is the patriot corporation act. if the company is doing the right thing, pays its workers good wages, does the right things in terms of paying benefits and health care and retirement, that company should get a lower tax rate. the other bill was the working families tax relief act. those companies that -- those individuals that are making $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 a year ought to get a higher earned income tax credit. if we used those at book ends in the tax bill we would have a tax bill that would reward companies that do the right thing, have more production in this country. stead, we passed a bill that -- andrea: so this plan doesn't address the

senate on behalf of former majority leader mike mansfield. the idea was they would become senate records and then they would come to the national archives in the center for legislative archives and become part of the official senate collection. which they are today. the collection has about 2,400 of clifford berryman's cartoons, most of which appeared on the front page of the papers. when the collection first came to us in the early '90s we spend a lot of time dating the collection and going up to the mlk library, pulling the microfilm and finding out when these cartoons were, their titles, their dates. then we also have about 230 cartoons from jim berryman, which was clifford's son who was also a political cartoonist. we have this great cartoon that clifford berryman drew in 1939. this was his christmas card that year. they had just moved into the family house in northwest washington and he sent this out to all of his friends and family announcing their new address but also holiday greetings. so an archive is not a place where documents go t

seoul he's a fellow at the chicago council and global affairs he's a scholar at the korea foundation mansfield organization obviously lots and lots of symbolism so far lots of pains taking symbolism i notice even right down to the two leaders sitting two thousand and eighteen millimeters apart that's a nod to the year that we're now in twenty eighteen so the symbolism they've got that they've tick that box how long until we get hard fact when it comes towards say the demarcation line becoming a border demarcation agreement becoming a peace treaty. i think it's going to be quite some time before we before we see any of that actually roll out but i do want to go back to the statement that's being done right now because there are some remarkable things that are being done in there you you mentioned very quickly where the reference was to the people being hurt it was actually a bit more specific than that and the reference was to young people of course and twenty twenty twenty ten north korea launched an artillery barrage killed two three four south korean civilians and that's i think a very good

of the mansfield foundation which promotes cooperation between asian nations and the u.s. he says the meeting between donald trump and came john and will be part of a lengthy and difficult process. north korea's pledge to completely denuclearize a pledge which i believe kim jong un will deliver to president trump when they sit down together has always been contingent upon what they call the end of the u.s. hostile policy the war needs to end there needs to be diplomatic normalization and peace there needs to be removal of sanctions and many other steps taken in order for the north koreans to feel comfortable with abandoning their nuclear weapons but when president trump sits down with kim jong il and then i think he will there they're searching for an agreement in principle the president of the united states will pledge and and to the hostilities on the peninsula and his very presence at the summit meeting will signal a kind of a u.s. acceptance of the legitimacy of kim jong un as well as the legitimacy of his government and in return i think the president will extract tha

agreements, in part because of federal tax policies, we've seen companies shut down in dover near you or mansfield where i grew up. we have seen companies shut down, they move production overseas and they get a cast break. they can deduct the cost of their move on federal income tax. instead of closing that loophole, we opened another one because of the differential in tax breaks making it more likely companies will shut down and move overseas. instead, i offered -- first time i met president trump was at a meeting of a dozen senators, mostly republicans, about maybe four or five democrats, the rest republicans, on the tax bill. we met in the cabinet room, and i told him of two bills i had. the purpose was to talk about the tax reform. i said i have two bills, one is the patriot corporation act. if a company is doing the right thing, if it pays its workers good wages, if it does the right thing in terms of paying benefits and health care and retirement, that company should get a lower tax rate. the other bill was the working families tax relief act. those companies that -- those individuals that a

office a fellow at the chicago council on global affairs and a scholar at the korea foundation mansfield's foundation thank you so much for joining us again so. kim jong un has already said at the start of the summit and i want to get this right he says that he doesn't want a repeat of the past where we were unable to fulfill our agreements what would you like to see happen to make sure that these talks actually progress somewhere and there is some sort of accountability for whatever agreements are reached one thing for that to happen what we're going to have to see is north korea take accountability for its own actions you know we've gone through this in the past and and essentially north korea has walked away from any number of agreements that are already on the books so if we're going to go out and look for a new kind of agreement if they're going to have to form something with that's going to be phased you know this is something that the north through is going to have to take seriously but in the end there's very little i think that south korea or the united states can do to try to for

of the mansfield foundation which promotes cooperation between asian nations and the u.s. he joins us live now from washington it's very easy he makes for a good headline to say that the north is completely in favor of full scale denuclearization but then the question is whether there are different definitions of denuclearization and whether now we're going to see a misunderstanding of the arguments over semantics in the coming days and weeks. i think there are no real differences on the semantics but where you are exactly correct is that north korea's pledge to completely denuclearize a pledge which i believe kim jong un will deliver to president trump when they sit down together has always been contingent upon what they call the end of the u.s. hostile policy the war needs to end there needs to be diplomatic normalization and peace there needs to be removal of sanctions and many other steps taken in order for the north koreans to feel comfortable with abandoning their nuclear weapons do you think there is a clear understanding of that in washington or should i say specif

i'm joined in the studio now by emily mansfield she's the europe analyst at the economist intelligence unit from the economist magazine thanks so much for coming in so just to get back to this deal the iran nuclear deal with the possibility as michael suggested that it could be built on or that the new deal could be come up with an what do you make of the widening of this and the inclusion of things like the syria crosses into it well i think really what mike holmes amiens is to show trumps that that the e.u. has really listened to his concerns and taken them on board and that the e.u. is also ready to make some concessions so for instance further sanctions on iran in would have to ensure that there is continued u.s. support for the day and i think you want to represent this deal more as part of a broader security strategy for the region rather than just about syria about iran i mean president jiang was was careful not to say he was going to do in may the twelve thirty is there a possibility that you could still have him pulling it out of the deal and that this wider arrangement goes a

. >> from mansfield, texas, anthony is waiting on the line for those to 30. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i wanted to highlight several articles in the "new york times" regarding the census bureau and a study they had been working on since 2004, which concluded with them deciding that they would create a designation for hispanics and arab-americans so they wouldn't have to define themselves as white, however, the trump administration through jeff sessions came up with another question, which of course you-all i'm sure know, they rejected the designation for hispanics and arab-americans and opted for united states citizen, a question about whether you're a united states citizen or not because of course they fear a true depiction of what the demographic in the country really are and my concern is that just as they did back for years, they keep repackaging the same practices and bringing them to us in different ways, but basically it's going to have an impact, or it could have an impact according to the many articles i read on voting rights, on housing, and many other importa

how many times i hear in my hometown of mansfield or where connie and i live in cleveland or senator whitehouse's town where my daughter and son-in-law and two grandchildren live, how many times do i hear people in these commun communities say i'm working harder than ever and have less to show for it. president trump is going to put two lawyers in key places in the federal government that's going to stack the deck even more against those workers. the the last thing we need is more people serving in washington who don't value work, who don't respect the americans to do it. i urge my colleagues to listen a little more to the americans we serve. go out, go out -- as president lincoln said, go out and get your public opinion baths. listen to workers, not just employers, not just the country clubs. go to union halls, go to where workers hang out. listen to them. listen a little more to the workers we serve, a little less to big corporations, which it seems these days are trying to squeeze every last penny out of their workers. mr. president, reject these nominations. the presiding officer
