mr. kennedy -- mr. ferguson explained that basically dod and the interest of making sure that the information was out there in theater took a risk, but that does not explain to me how the private would have access to state department classified cables that had nothing to do with the country for which the private was involved in intelligence activities. so, how did it happen? he has access to cables, state department pacified cables involving countries that had nothing to do with his intelligence responsibilities. >> that is a very good question, senator. several years ago the department of defense and the intelligence community came to the state department and said, we need the state department, and actually they paid for it, to push out reporting to it super gnat, which is the department of defense worldwide system and to put, to load a number of power cables on to the defense department database that would be accessible to defense department people. so, in response to their request we took a selected

mr. kennedy. if the folks who are speaking to public comment could step closer to the microphone. >> my name is mark solomon, the north mission district, and i am proud to support supervisor campos to the mtc. he build coalitions, and they have the reaching governing body and it will be critical addressing the shortfalls we have seen in the past five years. if anybody can go to the mtc to restore those relations, it is supervisor campos, and i support his nomination. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i also sit on the working group for the sustainable community strategy. i am here in support of david campos' appointment to new- paragraphmtc -- appointed to the mtc because it is not dealt -- because of his intelligence, and he is also vice chair of the transit committee. moreover, as malcolm stated, but we're dealing with sb-375, we're dealing with the sustainable community strategy, and it takes somebody like david campos to be able to deal with these complex is

mr. kennedy's detail. can you tell us a little bit about what that was like?>> can you tell them what it was like to be a secret service agent? >> it was pretechnology in those days. we had very few agents, and we did not have radios. we operated by hand signals. we wore sunglasses. in our pocket we carried 3x5 photographs of people we were looking for, and the glasses kind of helped hide our eyes, and it was an altogether different world then. >> and what was it like being on president kennedy's dee tail? -- detail? >> what was it like being on president kennedy's detail? is. >> fantastic. he was quite a man, and both -- this is clint hill over here, by the way, and lisa who helped me with the book. we both started with president eisenhower who did not have a far cyst bone in his body and operated like clockwork and rode in a closed-top car. when president kennedy came along, the world lit up. >> and what made you decide to write about your experience after all this time? >> well, there are very few of us left anymore, and we decided that it was time to share

mrs. kennedy came to the door to see him off the church and the bomber said i don't want to do this in front of his wife i'll wait and then he was caught. that's how close we came. this has gone about unnoticed as any major one i can think of. >> charlie: i think i heard something about that plot with you i hadn't heard about it. >> the third one is not life and death. he's with jimmy carter in 1976, a second debate and he announces there is no soviet domination and never will be. that's frankly when the "new york times" stops the debate. you realize he's incorrect lust. did you mean to say the so yents don't exercise influence. instead of saying as i have him do in my book, i'm the commander in chief, i know the soviets but i'm talking about the spirit of the issue. it says i don't think the pole is considering themselves dominated by the soviet union. for a week that campaign is stalled in its tracks trying to get the president hu offer is supposed to be superior to jimmy carter in his knowledge of foreign paul sea to fix himself. i went back and looked at the numbers. 10,000 roads in ohio

mrs. kennedy. i was in the follow-up car and witnessed the president being shot and tried to interseed to get to him beforehand, of course, i was unable to do so, so i saw everything unfold. i was a witness to everything. what's instory -- >> what inspired you to write about it? >> i wrote the forward about the book. i was promised it would be facts and no gossip. i wanted to contribute to it as long as i could check the facts, which i did. >> your role in writing? >> well, i basically helped him write the book. he's a secret service agent, and his writing was more stick to the facts, and i helped frame the story, put the story together, interviewed a lot of the agents, and got very involved in the project and it's been a privilege an honor to work with these great men. >> what was probably the most interesting thing for you in putting this project together in >> the most interesting thing was it's hard to believe, but all of these agents who witnessed the assassination of president kennedy never s

mrs. kennedy and the president with the general in paris, the cuban missile crisis in october, 1962 which riveted us because it seemed the world was on the presence of the nuclear disaster. and at least even some's "when hell freezes over" speech to the security council and of course those events on november 22nd, 1963,. president johnson's swearing in on their force one going back to washington. he had been sworn in bye district judge syracuse with his wife on his right and the widow of the slain president on his left. then two days later, the homicide of the alleged assassin of the president and the next day, the president's funeral, and shortly thereafter the report given to president johnson by chief justice warren of the commission report on the assassination of president kennedy. all of these events showed what seemed the time to be the enormous power and influence of television in our lives. the other notable feature i think of cheeks justice warren's opinion is the irony of his opinions he used pictures. picture after all it's worth a thousand words, and one of the pictures he use

mrs. kennedy with a general degualle in paris. the cuban missile crisis.nd at least the vinson's one freezes over speech to the security council of the united nations. and of course, those events, november 22, 1963, in dallas. president johnson's swearing in on air force one going back to washington -- sworn in by district judge hughes with his wife on his right and the widow of slain president on his left. and then, two days later, the homicide of the alleged assassin of the president', and the next day, the president's funeral. and shortly thereafter, the report given to president johnson from chief justice warren of the warren commission report on the assassination of president kennedy. all of these events show what seemed to be at the time the enormous power and influence of television in our lives. the other notable feature, i think, of chief justice warren's opinion is that of the irony that to illustrate his opinion he used pictures. a picture, after all, is worth a thousand words. and one of the pictures that he used -- i will show you at the momen

he now teaches at harvard university's kennedy school. mr. heinonen, thanks very much for being with us. there was the bad news about smoke coming out of some of these reactors today but then there seemed to be some good news that the pumps are working in a couple of the reactors, that the power lines are restored. how significant is all this? >> first of all, it is very serious as we heard. this is by far not resolved but we see that the engineers are working hard. once they get the power resred properly, they can look how the equipment has been damaged, which equipment can be used and which equipment needs to be replaced. then we start to see light at the end of this long long tunnel. >> woodruff: when we hear the man at the nuclear regulatory commission saying that there is, i think he used the term, containment is now functional in three of the reactors, what does that mean? >> it means that the fuel which was in the reactor itself is contain properly so there is no emergency to that end. but the company still has to maintain and restore

kennedy presidential library and museum. and our third, mr. duke blackwood, director of the ronald reagan library and a fairly constant host to me when i get up there. >> we'll start out by recognizing the -- i'm going to -- i'll catch those when we get -- when we get to them. but we'll go ahead and what we're going to do is we'll have the first three give their testimony. we tried to limit you to five minutes. if you have a lengthy statement, or anything you would like to have included in the record, that will be part of the -- made part of the proceedings today, but first we'll recognize mr. ferriero. >> by the way, if david has to have something put in the record, make sure it is not all of his archives. that could be over our limit. >> we'll make note of that. thank you. and you're recognized. welcome, sir. >> chairman mica, chairman issa and chairman of the other committees, i appreciate the opportunitto testify to you today on the important role of the presidential libraries. both the nation and to their local communities. presidential l

mr. franklin. and people like ike and jack kennedy really did matter to me. that sustains you through some really lousy times. brian: with back to your cato event. >> here's what i would do. the dos are indian ocean rim and china are where it's aught -- at. look at the 10 years from 2006 back and look at the year on year growth rates. it's compelling that this is where it's coming from but almost every problem in the world emanate from this region too so let's actually learn about it again. let's be foreign policy analysts again and analyze because if we don't, we're going to be in trouble. what shouldn't we do? nation-building. i will say this, it's eloquently silent about darfur now from the left because there is simply no money. who is going to go do what on what terms? this is how things will change. they will tack with the wind not because they like it but because they have no options. this is a change. brian: when i was listening to you it reminded, and you have written about this, that george bush said no nation building in the campaign and barack obam

she marched up to president kennedy and handed him a three- page list of women qualified for top posts in his administration. this led the president to select mrs. roosevelt as the head of a new commission to look at the status of women in america. she passed away before the commission could finish its work. the report they released spurred action across the country. it helped galvanize a movement led by women that would help make our society a more equal place. it has been almost 50 years since the roosevelt commission published its findings. there have been few similar efforts by the government in the decades that followed. that is why last week here at the white house, we released a new comprehensive report on the status of women in the spirit of the one released half a century ago. there is a lot of positive news about the strides we've made. women have caught up with men in seeking higher education. women today are more likely than men to attend and graduate from college. there are also reminders of how much work remains to be done. women are still more likely to live in poverty in this country in education, there are areas like mathematic

kennedy in 1962. ♪ happy birthday, mr. president ♪ >> osgood: patty smith-hill died in 1946 at the age of 78.♪ i'm a man of means by no means ♪ ♪ king of the road >> osgood: coming up westward ho with painter ed ruscha. radiating pain everywhere...m, and i wondered what it was. i found out that connected to our muscles are nerves that send messages through the body. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia, thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. and less pain means i can do more with the ones i love. [ female announcer ] lyrica is not for everyone. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior or any swelling or affected breathing, or skin, or changes in eyesight, including blurry vision or muscle pain with fever or tired feeling. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swel

on the other side though, chief justice roberts, justices kennedy and alito, they pressed the lawyer defending the law, mr. phillips, on why that isn't a substantial burden. the chief justice said, for example, isn't it just a matter of common sense that if i want to spend $10,000 and i know that that $10,000 is going to trigger $10,000 for my opponent or maybe $20,000 or $30,000 depending on how many publicly financed candidates there are in my campaign, then i'm going to think twice before i spend it? mr. phillips said i might think twice but it's not a significant burden. he noted that two-thirds of arizona candidates do participate in the public financing, and he said that at the outset these candidates make a choice as to whether public financing will benefit them. >> suarez: janet napolitano who was governor of arizona once joked that george w. bush raised money for her by holding a very successful republican fund- raiser which in fact enriched her own campaign coffers because she was using the public financing. >> that's true. and the opponents of the law feel that it can be gained in certain ways.

mr. franklin. we are not the worst place. people like ike and jack kennedy really mattered. >> what about issues?> here's what i would do. the indian ocean rim and china is where it's at and where the future growth of the world is. prices are for bad analysts. prices are for bad analysts. look at the tenures from 2006 back and a year-on-year growth rate. it is compelling. almost every problem in the world emanates from this region. let's learn about it again. let's be foreign-policy analysts again. if we don't, we will be in trouble. we should not do nation- building. it is eloquently silent about darfur. from the left because there is no money. this is how things will change. they have no options. this is a change. this is a change. >> that reminded me that george bush said no nation building in the campaign and obama said he would shut down guantanamo. you also read about convention. why do we go through all this is what they promise on all sides they don't follow through on? >> part a it is the disconnect the between elites and the regular people. the differences at a 40-year high. most americ

but i'm satisfied the leadership in this newport director at kennedy who i hope you'll have an opportunity to meet, mr. brian humphreys, at o'hare airport now in charge of kennedy airport, and i will make him aware of your concerns and confirm that he's always looking at how best to allocate the resources among the function that is we have. >> i'm not questioning anyone's ability. i'm just saying that i think it's important we get the job done. if you need more assistance, you should let us know. in that regard i have been to san diego entryway and i have spent hours there. and to me it looks like a needle in a haystack. i applaud you. i don't know how do you that work. i also want to say you talked before about the issues involving our government and the mexican government. i met with calderon, i have been there, talked with him. and i think this has reached proportion that are just extraordinarily dangerous. we know of the 35,000 lives that have been lost there. i personally think it's not enough to say guns are going there and drugs are going there. i think we have to push for an assault weapons ba

for extremist recruitment the kennedy school of doesn't think using force against extremists will help instead is exercising an old peaceful and personal approach. hello mr firth thank you very much for coming to our program hello mr the fear of. the war against terrorist networks and your public i asked you this same question fifteen months ago how much progress have you and she stands and. when to with you must have noticed that journalists are usually quick to notice everything both good and that of course we have made good progress in i would like to emphasize that which you did not only through the use of force the most important it was done through crime prevention measures we talked to people especially those who have relatives in terrorist groups. you see our approach is that we look at them not as bandits and if we look at them as young guys and got involved in this bloody war against their own people due to some unfortunate circumstances. so we do our best to talk them out of it. and today we see that this kind of criminal activity has dropped you know our republic drastically this year our statistics for the first two and a half months for a t

on booktv, william coon recalls the publishing career of jacqueline kennedy onassis who worked as an editor for doubleday and viking. mr. coon reports that her project selection as an editor mirrored her own personal interests. among these were a history of thomas jefferson and his relationship with sally hemings. a book on the assassination of john lennon, and even an effort to convince michael jackson to write a memoir. >> i want to tell you, begin by telling you a little story about what a nosey biographer does when he's invited over to your house for the first time. you offer me -- i may know you not very well, you offer me a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, maybe a glass of wine, and you go into the kitchen to get it for me, and while you're out of the room i sidle over, and i take a look at what's on your book shelf. [laughter] raise your hand if you've ever done such a thing. [laughter] all right. some other nosey biographers in the room. the point is that a collection of books tell you something important about a person and possibly something that that person might not be willing to tell you right away themselves

left my country, four years ago, -- john kennedy said that here in america, by english, the arabian man, he make the song. the song i have said in my mind for years. mr. president, i am here to survive like anyone else. but i have something to tell you, but i refuse to get any sympathy for any one of you. the man here around you -- i have many other illness. i have cancer. i am dying, sooner or later. i am very proud to be american-egyptian. i have blessing. to be people like me and to have people around me and to have -- i know that's very hard for me, but that's you. you run for mayor. i am going to be with you and i want to know. if you want my book, i would like to give you my book. president chiu: i need to mention that no one is allowed to politic or campaign in these chambers. >> i want to let you know, i begin to shout in chinese. at least i understand what you said, what our supervisor said. i would like to start -- president chiu: thank you very much. thank you, sir. thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. stop the corporate rate for the public library. don't give money to the friends in foundation. don't accept money from

mr. garamendi, are old enough to remember the passion and enthusiasm from these 50 years ago when president kennedy announced the creation of the corps. the idea that americans from all different backgrounds and walks of life would have an opportunity to work for and to learn from other cultures. you know, in that time, that was a radical concept, but i marvel, don't you, as to how far we have come? since 1961, when the first volunteers went abroad, nearly 200,000 volunteers have served in 139 countries around the world. these are talented and selfless americans who made lasting contributions in agriculture, in business development, in sustainable infrastructure, in education, in health, in come baiting -- combating hiv-aids. collectively, each volunteer's work represents a legacy of service that has become a significant part of america's history and the positive image that we have abroad. i know that mr. farr is going to speak after me and he has just joined the group. he and i are part of an organization here in congress, which has some connections to the peace corps. and it is called the house d

kennedy as well. this is a double whammy. it's not fair. so i commend mr. garrett, i support this amendment, i will continue to oppose the f.a.a. re-authorization until the f.a.a. halts and revises the airspace redesign and reports to congress. after all, we are' the ones that report to the people. -- we're the ones that report to the people. they should report to us, the f.a.a. should report to us. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. garrett: i yield a minute and a half to the gentleman from connecticut. the chair: the gentleman is recognized 1 -- recognized for a minute and a half. mr. himes: mr. speaker, i rise in support of the amendment that's at the desk. the redesign of the airspace over new york-new jersey, philadelphia to improve our air travel. the redesign was badly implemented from the start and used flawed prors. plans for this redesign have moved forward without proper input from stakeholders and without regard to the parties who are affected, notably, many of my constituents. planes have been rerout

mr. patrick. massachusetts has a health care they are happy with. we think that's their right. and when senator kennedy and governor romney and then governor patrick, if that's what massachusetts wants, we are happy for them. we don't want that. that's not good for us. we don't want that. we don't want community rating and extremely high mandatory benefits packages. so the point i'm trying to make is different states have different problems, we have different issues, and while you may not believe it, some politicians who obviously act like you love our constituents more than we do. believe it or not, we love our constituents as much as you do. we want to do right for them. we want to do what we can afford and sustain. medicaid is a second biggest item in my budget after education. we spent about 63% of state budget on education and medicaid is the next biggest thing. however, medicaid's growth before i was governor it was growing at 16.5% a year, and we were cutting our community colleges and doesn'ting our universities because of the money that was having to be diverted to medicaid. and in my seven ye
