mrs. johnson. she said mrs. kennedy quote really wanted me to safeguard that and continue that her words fell on fertile ground because i care deeply about it although from a very different viewpoint because i wasn't formally trained in 19th century furniture art or anything like that. my drive was to get american artists represented in the white house and i did lady bird lets jackie know that president johnston formerly planned to establish a committee for the preservation of the white house. jackie response by writing mrs. johnson in december of 1963 i'm touched that you want to do this thing. maybe i will be remembered as the person who started restoring the white house, but you will be the one who is remembered as preserving it and making sure for all time it was cared for. that was the moment. i was always scared of. would the next president's wife scrapped the whole thing as she was sick to death of hearing about jacqueline kennedy or which she forget about me and ensure the white house will b

mrs. johnson's case. i think it just reaffirmed and mrs. johnson to be mrs. johnson in other words mrs. johnson was very clear with me. she was terrified before the first committee for the preservation of the white house. these were experts it wasn't her world. she felt comfortable with bringing in america with in the first meaning it's really funny. they're talking about getting expensive rights where i think it was the state dining room and mrs. johnson is going well, aren't they walk down here these antique rocks ruins. they finally come to the conclusion. maybe they should get good copies, but i think that the public opinion influenced her and then she loved it didn't want to compete with mrs. kennedy and just sort of enabled her to be more. quest he raised with through the white house historical association and through their own brands a lot of things the first ones learned howard that was added walked in through a good texas friend of hers in a paper bag to the first meeting of the committee for the preservation and said i have a little pressure for you. what a great story and so w

mr. johnson: and also retire. mr. cohen: thank you, mr. johnson. i know you, like me, are available to constituents any minute of the day and it would take so many people reto the replace you. >> i want to remind my colleagues that this hearing is on self-help evictions that are illegal under the law and that we've heard testimony about these types of evics that have happened both before the pandemic and during the pandemic and are likely to happen after the pandemic. and as we're talking about the pandemic right now we know that millions of americans have struggled with homelessness during the pandemic and millions more are at risk of eviction when the federal and state eviction moratoria expire. people who are chronically homeless and housing insecure are at substantially higher risk of poor health as the lack of stable housing can result in disruptions to employment, social networks, education and the receipt of social services benefits. in short the pandemic exacerbated issues that already were occurring. despite local, state, and federal evict

mr. johnson: i thank my friend. the people do know better and the pain americans are feeling is very real. i'd like to yield next to the gentleman from pennsylvania's ninth district, mr. mousser. mr. meuser: in less than six months, the biden administration's policies have disrupted the fundaments of our economy and caused significant inflation. in march, congressional democrats pushed through the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan, some thought after the recovery began, in a highly partisan process without one republican vote. this level of spending was unwarranted. even many liberal-minded economists felt it was bigger than needed and warned of inflationary pressures not seen in a generation as a result. inflation ocurse when too many dollars chase too few goods. this influx of spending resulted in prices increasing in april, 4.2% and 5% last month. the reality is that inflation is a tax on every american family who is now paying more for essential goods such as food and gasoline and many others and whose savings a

johnson: president trump signed the legislation himself, right? mr. griffith: politicians from both parties. rep. johnson: come on, now, mr. griffith. you can't have it both ways. >> let him answer the question. rep. johnson: let me move on. mr. shelton, what would you say to those who would say patient moratoriums aren't unlawful limit on their property rights when at the same time you're offering them money to open them get through the emergency, a once in a century pandemic we were all faced with? mr. shelton: let me just say this. we need to bring all government resources to bear. certainly as we look at what the usual issue is for those who happen to own apartments and so forth, we know most of the issues that affect them on a daily basis are closer to home. when we are talking about a pandemic like this, a coronavirus pandemic, with hundreds of thousands of people have already died and the impact crosses every line. economic, race, ethnicity, gender, and otherwise. we know we have to bring to bear resources from all those places. the money was in

mr. johnson's decision brought action from hanoi. to paris, the agreed upon site sent a delegation to negotiate a peace. the chief negotiator for the united states was assisted by cyrus vance. while talks began with a ceremonious first meeting, the steps towards peace had really just begun. the talks proceeded with agonizing slowness as representatives used charges and counter charges. from mid-may to november, the conference scarcely moved forward at all. big news came of another move to show its sincerity. the united states announced a total bombing halt of the north and paved the way for expanded peace talks. timing in delaying tactics were important to the north vietnamese negotiators because the u.s. presidential campaign occupied the attention of the americans. people asked what changes might occur in the washington political attitudes. speculation ended when president-elect richard nixon affirmed with president johnson a solidarity and a smooth transition between the old and new administrations. a few days later at his florida

mr. johnson: so january 6 could be the tip of the iceberg? prof. pape: january 6 could be the tip of an iceberg. it could be that what we are seeing now is a focal point. january 6 brought people from 44 states together to invade the capital, to stop the transfer of power from one president to another. that's people who came from all across the country exchanging cell phones, talking on whatsapp, developing social networks. this is a very important problem that we have a difficult time tracking. it is going down in the movement as a new independence day. and we have political leaders -- marjorie taylor greene, she repeatedly calls it the new independence day. it is being lionized, glorified as a positive thing. and this is in fact now gaining -- many politicians are gaining political support for supporting the insurrection. this is something we have observed in other countries, india, but not in the united states until now. mr. johnson: oren, the adl has been tracking violent white nationalism now for years and sounding this alarm now for years. ma

mr. johnson. we happen to have mr. johnson as our next guest. let's talk about joe manchin. he's not easily swayed by the typical talking points. i'm always shocked by the fact that people not only know joe manchin when i ask about him, they know him personally. they can't name their member of congress, but in west virginia folks know manchin personally. what, if anything, can be said to him to sway his opinion on voting rights and maybe even potentially or changing the filibuster. >> i think that would be a difficult conversation for manchin who was governor and secretary of state before that, so he knows the voting issues inside and out, at least in his own state. i was in a group of reporters last week talking to manchin about the filibuster, and he said he's not going to break the government by voting to get rid of it. that's how he views this issue. i think mr. johnson would have to convince the senator that getting rid of the filibuster, the cure wouldn't be worse than the disease here, essentially, that the problems they would be able to fix by doing so would be worth

mr. johnson. you are recognized for five minutes. mr. johnson: thank you for holding this hearing. racism is a belief that inherit differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to others. when the europeans landed at jamestown, virginia in 1607, they came with the idea that they were a superior race and the native americans, known as indians, were subhuman. this idea of white supremacy was further evidenced with the start of the transatlantic slave trade 12 years later in 1619, 401 years ago. racism has never suddenly disappeared from the hearts and minds of the people it afflicts. in fact, racism has been foundational and permeates the soil of america. it has manifested itself in the area of voting rights of nonwhite people in america. because racism still exists, the racist length of voter disenfranchisement is alive and well. the lie of voter fraud in american elections is the latest generat

mr. johnson has told the nation. ime minister johnson: i cannot say that we have met all our four tests for proceeding with step 4 on. june 21 i think it is sensible to wait just a little longer. and we will bring forward our target to give every adult in this country a first dose by the 19th of delight. thomas: earlier we spoke to our london correspondent. and this is what she had to say about the prime ministers addressed with englanders now having to wait a little bit longer for normality to return. >> it is an unwelcome announcement but it was really an expected announcement. why? because there have been heavy hints from ministers over the last two weeks to ten days, and even more heavy hints early on today and h- leaking to the media. the speaker of the house is not happy. the government and the prime minister, boris johnson, need to make these announcements in the house of commons. the people who directly affected by this are the population, because it affects all kinds of jobs and lives. businesses are fearful

mr cummings has published what he says are messages that he exchanged with mr johnson. uestioned the authenticity of those messages which apparently show mrjohnson describing his health secretary matt hancock as �*hopeless'. mr cummings also accuses the prime minister of lying. our political editor laura kuenssberg has more details. a convenient afternoon jog? is this nowjust a vendetta, mr cummings, with mr hancock? dominic cummings just happened to be seen for the cameras hours after chucking another grenade his old boss's way. he'd already been plain the man in charge of the health system during the biggest health emergency in decades wasn't up to it, in his view. i think that the secretary of state for health should've been fired for at least 15, 20 things. the health secretary's retaliation — the boss had been behind him all the way. i had the prime minister's wholesome support - all the way through. yet remember how close mr cummings and borisjohnson were. having promised evidence to back up his blast from the outside, he's now even published private messages. in t

remarks reported that during these remarks reported that during the conversation with mr macron mr johnsonou feel if you could not sell at sausage from toulouse and paris? and then reportedly mr macron said that is the same country and mrjohnson said but northern ireland is part of the same country. instead of the summit being a moment we are perhaps a little bit of trust could have been found, maybe a little bit of a place where perhaps some kind of pragmatic deal could have been farmed it seems to have driven both sides further apart on that issue. the row over british sausages neither row over toulouse sausages. —— it is now the row over toulouse sausages. we can also speak to our correspondent nomia iqbal. you were watching that barbecue on the beach. we were talking to james about perhaps a few simmering tensions that as well. that's right. it is the morning after the night before and the barbecue lasted a lot longer than we expected. the g7 leaders and their partners and other representatives appear to have a really good time on the beach. we have a really good viewpoint from where w

mr. johnson said it was like the 1st day back at school, seeing all your old friends again, and that was really the atmosphere in the room. today, we opened a new chapter for our alliance. we addressed key issues for security and to far reaching decisions. we heard a strong message from president biden on america's commitment to nato, on an equally strong commitment from alder allies in return. only there's agree into that in an age of global competition, europe a north america must stand strong together in nato to defend our values on our interests. especially at the time when all put a tarion regimes like russia on final challenge. the rules spaced in national order allies the welcome to today's consultations with preston biden. head of his meeting with president put in geneva. our relationship with russia is at its lowest point since the cold war. and most goes aggressive actions are affected to our security. nato remains committed to try to do a truck approach of the fence and dialogue will keep over the fences strong while remaining ready to talk to make our positions clear. avoid m

mr. johnson at home. a lot of criticism over it and the u . k is now thinking about pulling out of parts of that protocol. so that's where the tension comes in. the latest tension, it may sound trivial, is about sausages and whether they can be why they can't be imported from the mainland to northern ireland. it's not trivial. there's a real danger that this could become a problem for peace in ireland and certainly could sour some of the relations that take place during this meeting and cold. okay, thank you so much. and james mays reporting from the u. k. while european union leaders have been speaking about the week ahead, including how they plan to address russia, russia will be one of the men took peach. g 7 partners share similar views on russia, disruptive activities. you condense, illegal, provocative and disruptive russian activities against you. it's member states and beyond. all thousands of mourners have failed street to me. occupied westbank city of janine for the funerals of 2 palestinian intelligence officers. they were killed al

mr. johnson who's fighting fires in a trade dispute with the you over northern ireland. it's a trade dispute that has caught the attention of joe biden. no less the irish president. and of course you leaders who've arrived in combative mood. so we are given to understand they also got the chairs of course, at the top table and kind of related to that. jonah, we kind of have a big issue hanging over this g 7, although it's not on the official agenda, right. the issue of is america back, how is it back in the post trump era and how much the allies and friends of america will buy into it? well, how much will they buy into it will have to remain to be seen, but that's pretty much joe biden. sales pitch, he made it straight away as he touched down you saw a couple of days ago. he said the u. s. is back. he wants to project the image of a us moving on from the obstructive ways of the trump era. i get embracing its global leadership role, a group again returning to traditional forms of multilateral diplomacy. you'll be showing that or here you'll be showing up key alliances. he

but crucially what mr johnson has done is avoided a potentially embarrassing defeat this week on internationalhosting the g7 summit. so i think, no 10 will be happy that the problem has been parked for now. the one thing of course that has not changed are the fundamentals of the disagreement, the government believes that cutting aid this year by £4 billion at the time of an economic downturn is not only the right thing to do for the public finances, it is also popular with the electorate. its opponents believe these cuts are notjust unlawful and immoral but will also result in hundreds of thousands of otherwise avoidable deaths around the world. , . , ., ., otherwise avoidable deaths around the world. �* . , . . . , the world. james landale, many thanks. police in norway say a body which was washed ashore on new year's day has been identified as that of a 15—month—old kurdish—iranian boy who went missing when his family tried to cross the english channel. artin irann ezhad drowned with his mother, father, elder sister and brother as they attempted to reach britain from france. a dna sample was

lastly, if you want a little more gossip, it was the first big public appearance of the new mrs johnsonally along the beach with jill biden and interesting to see the choreography of that was captured by some of these snappers and eagle eyed camera people, walking on the beach barefoot with baby wilfred and dr biden after the meeting. we got a lot of those pictures that will play on the news for years and years to come of them doing the pointing across the beach and in the corners of the shot was the prince of wales aircraft carrier and the reason the prince of wales was there was back in 1941 winston churchill sailed to the us to see president roosevelt on the ship and they signed a thing called the atlantic charter which was all about how the uk and the us would work in a postwar world and what happened today in cornwall is that biden and borisjohnson have signed a new version, a 2021 edition about how both countries will co—operate on modern 80 years ago prime minister winston roosevelt signed an agreement known as the atlantic charter. it was a statement a promise that the united ki

mr biden sits down with boris johnson later today.s america's relationship with britain is still special. the prime minister says this is a big moment. don't forget, this is the first time in six months in office almost thatjoe biden, the us president, has been able to come overseas for a major trip. it's his first time on the european continent. it's the first time any of us really have been able to see each other face—to—face since the pandemic began. and the pandemic, let's face it, was a pretty scratchy period for the world. downing street is talking of a new atlantic charter, modelled on the 1941 joint statement in which winston churchill and franklin roosevelt set out their vision of a post—war world. it sounds lofty, but includes more immediate objectives — like opening up travel between the us and uk as soon as possible. borisjohnson will also seek to reassure his guest that a row over sausages and the northern ireland protocol does not threaten the good friday agreement. american officials say their concern runs very deep. pa

johnson: mr. speaker, thank you and thank chairman defazio for his leadership in bringing this bill to the floor. i rise in strong support of h.r. 3684, the invest in america act. the bill authorizes tremendous funding boosts to our nation's surface, transportation and infrastructure system -- surface transportation and infrastructure system, including a significant amount for our state of texas. failing to invest now will cost much more later. the invest in america act also makes significant investments in transportation research, development and demonstrations to support a safer and more resilient, equitable and sustainable transportation future. i am pleased to have inserted numerous provisions in the bill before us today, including one to establish grants in the department of transportation to develop transportation work force training programs, workers adversity affected by industry automation, a sense of congress to emphasize contracts with minority owned businesses must ensure it is fulfill
