dick, thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, mr. chairman and mr. chairman, thank you to both chairmen. and thank you all for being here today. i was interested in a number of your points, particularly, mr. salgado, that additional measures are necessary, especially in response to chairman leahy's questions to not only provide additional transparency but also assure that individual rights are protected. as you know, i proposed that there be a constitutional advocate to in effect provide some adversarial process within the fisa court. you know as lawyers, courts make better decisions when more than one side is presented. very few judges would permit a proceeding before them in which only one side is presented. because they know that the core principle of our judicial system is that it is adversarial and that the truth emerges as differing points of view, factual perspectives and evidence are presented and so that is one area where i think that the system can be made more accountable if not more transparent. and as well, disclosure of some of the ruli

and you have dick and mrs. n ixon. >> yes.as apparent their families would be united in marriage. and then the engagement announcement. they were close to the next since -- nixons. >> how much of the decorating did mamie do? >> this is her taste. she had a decorator. she was here to consult. about the conversation in washington. ever meeteisenhower kay summersby? >> mamie was not affected by the meeting. she was aware of the rumors. she met her and went on with her life. >> we will be back to gettysburg later. >> it was around that time the eisenhowers began to be drafted i both local parties. they were not partisan. tell us the story of how the republicans were successful. >> what you find is there is a grassroots movement, citizens for eisenhower. groups of people all over the eisenhowerhing for to run for president and to run as a republican. europe, there in see ike.le flying to -- he doesn't say what because ofl not do his position and one of the stories mamie tells his they are before sending process packages and the ope

mrs. eisenhower really took to pat. pat there three times before dick. -- she was there three times before dick. she wrote her a note that said, come up here and we do not have to talk about anything, just you and i. had a nice conversation. >> thank you for this program. it has really been interesting to see how our first ladies reacted to their place in history. my question is, throughout all of the turmoil of president nixon, did she ever grow to resent him or marrying him? >> how could anybody know inside somebody else's marriage? i inc. -- think she did regret marrying count. if you are married, there are times you regret it. did she resent him for making some the decisions he made? i think that she did. i think she resented it and at the same time she cannot let herself completely resent it. she have to find somebody else to blame. she blamed the press. she blamed everybody who went after him. it was one of the things, she could say anything she wanted about him and be as angry, but nobody else should say anything. nobody should make comments abou

he said, you know, dick, and russell said, mr. president, i have to make a stand. there's a point at which i have to stand somewhere. and johnson said you know, dick, you remind me and he knew this would really grate on russell, he said of that negro boy in bed with that white woman and her husband comes home and she says, my god, it's my husband. it's my husband and he runs to the closest door and it's the linen closet and he has to go into the linen closet slammed against the shelves like that and the husband goes from door to door saying who is here? there's somebody here. he rips open the linen closet door and johnson jumped up straight from his chair and said what your doing there? and he said, everybody has to stand somewhere. and johnson turned to dick russell and he said, dick, you have to stand somewhere but you got have enough flexibility. you have to leave enough room so that these people can get a fair shake in this country. >> one-third of today's united states senate works in the russell office building in washington, d.c. next telephone call is from o

mr. chairman. i thank all the witnesses. i especially thank dick thornburgh and tom ridge. i think you prefer governor to those others, don't you? [laughter] i remember the day, then the president of the unit states, sunday americans with disabilities act on the lawn of the white house and someone of our friends from the disabilities community were there to celebrate what has been. i don't know anyone who doesn't believe that the passage of that act was not an unqualified success. it gave opportunities for some of our disabled community to get ahead in our society, and have rights which they previously had been deprived of. mr. meyer, you made some very important constructive recommendations, in my view, in this legislation come in your statement. and i would just like to ask you a couple of additional questions. on the issue of abortion, the resolution of advice and consent that this committee passed last year that contained the following understanding on how this attribute relates the u.s. law concerning abortion, quote, nothing in the convention, in the convention includ

because instead of the zero tolerance we have heard for two decades since dick cheney used those words in 1992, what we truly have, mr. president, is zero accountability. there is no accountability because the trust that any justice will be served has been irreparably broken under our current system. commanders hold all the cards over whether a case moves forward or not to prosecution. there are those that argue that removing these decisions out of the chain of command into the hands of independent prosecutors in the military will diminish good order and discipline. this is not a theoretical question. we actually know the answer to this. our allies have already made these reforms and they have not seen a diminishment in good order and discipline. the u.k., israel, australia, canada, netherlands, germany, all of them have taken the decision making of whether or not to prosecute cases outside the chain of command for civil liberties reasons. some in instances of defendants rights, some in instances of victims rights to make their justice system better. we could use a better justice system. we could use that tr-pbs parp

mr. president. then he's got to follow through and fix it. >> the national implications for the party. your party has been something of in a trouble spot right now. dick cheney told me last week the republican party is in trouble, it needs new candidates. he was obviously plugging his daughter, but what do you think national republicans should look at when they look at this race versus virginia? >> listen, i don't know about versus virginia because we don't know what's going to happen in virginia yet. >> we know it will be a struggle. >> it will be a tight race as compared to here. listen, i think the party's got to focus on winning again. sometimes i feel like our party cares more about winning the argument than they care about winning elections. if you don't win election, you can't govern. if you can't govern, you can't change the direction of a state like we've done in new jersey. so you know, i don't -- one, i think we need to get ourself refocused on that. secondly, i think sometimes we forget the candidates matter. it's not just about a checklist of issues. it's also about how a person presents themselves as a candidate, how they articulate thei

[laughter] >> -- people that do that. two of those have been nominated for pulitzer prizes. his work ranges rather broadly from examining president lincoln through photographs to the traumatic events of the do dust bowl of the '30s and on to, of all people, the beatles in the '60s. he, marty, is justifiably proud of his six books in the library of congress, the american history series for young people. marty has also won five emmy awards for writing and producing, a former high school teacher who has taught american history at umass amherst. he lives here on cape cod with his wife carol. welcome. marchty, first thing i must compliment you on the incredible variety of letters that you have selected. there are some just remarkable gems. >> thank you. >> jill abramson, who's executive director of "the new york times," wrote ten days ago that an estimated 40,000 books have been pub

in fact, in my home state of maine, it has been the law for yearli' dick -- for nearly a de. simply put, mr. president, enda is about fairness and workplace equality. today i am confident that the senate will affirm that principle and will say to everyone in this country that the workplace is simply no plate for discrimination. thank you, mr. president. mr. merkley: mr. president? officer the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: i ask unanimous consent for five minutes to speak to this bill. the presiding officer: is there objection? so ordered. mr. merkley: thank you, mr. president. and i -- i thank my colleague who preceded me, who has summarized the substantial bipartisan collaboration that took place to bring this bill to this point, this bill that we will -- we'll be voting on in just a few minutes. and no one has done more than she has done to advance this conversation over many, many years. and i thank the senator from maine for those incredible efforts on behalf of ending discrimination and advancing liberty and opportunity. today the senate will vote to break the chains of discriminat

the dick circuit has been insufficiently supportive of the obama agenda, so now they're attempting to pack the court with three unneeded judges in order to stack it in the administration's favor. mr. president, i said last week my colleague from iowa, senator grassley, has offered a commonsense alternative and it's a good compromise. and we've done it before. it would actually real clait two of these seats on the d.c. circuit where they're unneeded to other circuits in the country where they are needed. what makes more sense than that? we've done that once before. we took one of these positions from the d.c. circuit and reallocated it to the 9th circuit, where they needed judges before. so we ought to be putting the resources where they're actually needed, not stocking them in a court where the resources aren't needed in order to pursue an ideological end. unfortunately our friends acontracts on aisle, the majority leader -- unfortunately, our friends across the aisle, the majority leader and others, have rejected the grassley compromise and pushed ahead with their courtpacking maneuver. given their stated desire to make the d.c. circuit a liberal rubber-stamp, democrats have cre
