mr. kennedy: i yield to the gentleman from washington, mr. kilmer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington is recognized. mr. kilmer: thank you, mr. speaker. and thank you for yielding me time. i want to thank representatives kennedy and reed for work across the aisle to develop legislation that len courage the growth of innovative technologies and the creation of a manufacturing work force that will be able to compete on the global playing field. i also want to thank the representatives for working with representative hultgren and myself to include the re-authorization of the regional innovation program. accelerates job creation and economic groth in the united states. it acknowledges something important, that innovation and job growth don't happen in our nation capitol. but happens on the ground. it happens intake coma where clean water is happening in a collaboration between our companies and university and happening on the penla of washington where people are developing technologies. the united states is going to be a global econom

mrs. kennedy did not testify before the commission because the chief justice wanted to save her the experience. it was a bad decision. she was the closest witness to the incident. she went back onto the trunk of the car. she was said to have remembered nothing about that. she was pushed back into the seat by clint hill, the secret service agent who carousing into the morning raced ahead, jumped on the car, and pushed her into the back seat. but she should have been questioned. , johnwas a report that raised the issue at a commission meeting. warren announced she would not be questioned by the commission. the word was that mccloy objected. they called him mr. chairman, which was interpreted to be derisive and insulting. nobody called the chief justice mr. chairman. it was mr. chief justice. word was warren's wife called him c.j. >> whose testimony was most influential in developing the single bullet theory? >> commander humes. >> tell us about that. >> he testified about the path of the bullet. when i questioned him at bethesda the friday before his testimony, he told about how he looked at the

mrs. kennedy. author of mrs. kennedy and me. great to see you. you know what current procedures are and this is the worst breech that any of us can recall, a fence jumper getting inside the front door. how can it be unlocked? >> it really is open to people coming in and out that use that for a pathway once in a while, but the problem is that he shouldn't have gotten that far and that close. there have been incidents similar to that over the years where people scale the fence frequently. in 1972, we had a gentlemen with a vehicle come through the gate and knock the gate down and get close to the front door and get out of his vehicle and had what appeared to be explosives strapped to his body and eventually we were able to talk him down and arrest him and he went into a hospital, i guess. the problem is you are never going to be able to prevent people from at least attempting to get over that fence and get into the white house. >> the argument seems to be why weren't the dogs let loose? they are trained and supposed to be the best in the world. the

mrs. kennedy may have come back for the trial of lee harvey oswald.he feeling came within me that someone owed this debt to our beloved president to say for the of comingr the ordeal back." from jack ruby. later that morning, ruby killed lee harvey oswald. what happened to lee harvey oswald in jail says the worn -- says the warren commission, all available evidence indicates that oswald wasnot subjected to any physical hardship during the interrogation sessions or any other time when he was in custody. the commission finds that oswald's bruised eye were the result of that scuffle with officer mcdonald. the commission does indict the dallas police for -- and the press for creating the bedlam that existed in the dallas jail during oswald's last two days. and that leads to the next great question. who is responsible for the murder of lee harvey oswald? jack ruby did it. the commission points out that millions of people saw him do it on television. but how was he able to do it in the midst of a crowd of police in the very basement of police headquarters?

mrs. kennedy had plans to redecorate the room for -- to match the house, but in his death, precluded that.nson moved in with a very different -- two ticker tapes, typewriters, it was a work room under him. mostly, unless the president loves to work there, it's ceremonial now, to have your picture taken with the and you can, and you can too. and so he had a gun.okw3 anyway, that's used ceremonially now. that's the brief history of ok . but that's the brief history. it roosevelt by eric googler. roosevelt likes to play architect.archit he had -- mrs. roosevelt got the signal and she got her friend 2 that silly man. he came in and did a design that roosevelt finally agreed to and that's the design the president wanted and there are parts of the other one in it. ma'am? >> who put the pool in? >> the pool was put in for president roosevelt, march of dimes. and it was in what was still, if you can believe, a laundry. it had always been that west wing that west wing that connects to the big building. that had been a laundry since the beginning and wine cellar and so president roosevelt, there wer

mrs. kennedy saying that eric holder upheld the standards set by has office. and in his office is a picture of robert kennedy. >> speaking of civil rights, we both remember his statement to that department when he took the job february 18, 2009, and we have always been and continue to be in too many ways essentially a nation of powers and through its work and long as i am here we must leave the nation to rebirth o. referring to abraham lincoln there. >> reporter: sorry, tony. i thought there was a sound bite coming up with the president. point of fact. let's talk about the items that eric holder debt wit dealt with. he tried to change the vote. treating same-sex couples the way they treat married couples. advocated voting rights to be served for those who served their time in prison. he most recently was seen in ferguson, missouri, delivered a very, very moving message there about being an african-american man and understanding the anger and the pain that the citizens of that city felt after the death of the unarmed teenager, which is now being litigated. eric

mrs. kennedy, continued with president johnson, fully aware of exactly what changes have been made and how different it is today than it was then. today there are many more challenges than we had back in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. things are very, very different. it's much more difficult and a lot of that is attributed to technology. but technology can work against you as much as it can work for you. so there are just different situations that exist. it's an organization that's widespread, has a multitude of responsibilities, and i think for the most part does an excellent job and i think it's probably the premier law enforcement agency in the world. >> that's former secret service agent clint hill. now to a fire that crippled air travel in and out of chicago in and around the weekend. caused delays, cancellations and still causing it tonight. has the faa reviewing emergency plans. paul beban is here. >> key air traffic facility outside of chicago, technicians are working round the clock to get it back to speed but it won't be to full capacity until mid october. the ripples are getting smalle

mrs. kennedy is wearing, you can see a lot of similarities. jackie is blending in with her group, even though we can assume those clothes cost a whole lot more than what was being made by the cottage industry. it is not only her sense of style but her sense of presence that really made her a fashion icon. this particular pictures is taken at the national gallery of art. you may recall that jackie and jack went to france to meet with charles de gaulle, that she was such a sensation over there partly because of her eye for design, but also because she was fluent in french, and so jack kennedy was just so awed by how successful his wife had been that he made the speech where he said "i am the man who accompanied jacqueline kennedy to paris." but one of the things that jackie did was to talk to this man over here under the paint ffing the mona lisa, the minister of arts. this is france's tremendous painting treasure and the idea of it being transported over the ocean and hanging in american galleries required a lot of choreography. one of the thin

mrs. kennedy may have to come back for the try a lovely harvey oswald. of lee harvey all sold. i don't know what got a hold of me. i will tell the truth word for word. i am taking a drug that i use for dieting. i think it was a stimulus to give me an emotional feeling that suddenly i felt, that was wanted to show i our love of our faith, and the jewish faith, the emotional feeling came within me that someone owed this debt to our beloved president to save her the ordeal of coming back. i don't know why that came through my mind. what i want to point out from that is that ruby said that his jewish faith was what was part of his reason for shooting lee harvey oswald. doesn't that sound like -- it is not so bizarre. let me tell you why. on the morning of november 22, the day that the president was news"the "dallas morning carried a full-page ad, critical of president kennedy. it was signed with a name which ruby identified as a jewish name. ruby thought that nobody who was jewish could have been a part of an ad like that. ruby expressed this feeling to moment thehat president was

mr. kennedy? >> you guys are stuck in between two walls. i've never really seen this before. a lot of chemical security issues obviously, and i'm also an honorary regulatory geek as well. the question that i had was, for fix some of these issues? and also, moving forward, could you just sort of explain kind of what the time line -- if i had an idea, like a checklist or something like that, and i propose it, and i make comments, in the next reiteration in the final rule, will you take those into consideration and weigh that over another option of what dhs could do? or another person? i just want to know exactly how that would work, nuts and bolts-wise. >> i'll do my best. i know there's general counsel members in the audience. so give me a sign if i'm talking about -- >> i'll look over here. >> from the perspective, will it impinge the dialogue. that certainly does restrain some of the ways we'll communicate with our stakeholders and communities. but i look at it as more of an opportunity because it's going to formally open it up to stakeholders, who otherwise might not have t

kennedy. krikorian.u, mr. good morning. i am judith kennedy. i usually drop the flanagan. it is too many symbols. as you know, lynn is a coastal city north of boston. we have a population of about 90,000 people making us the ninth largest city in massachusetts. largest schoolth system. we have seen a great increase in our school system over the past couple of years. of 2012, my superintendent came to me and said, i have been noticing a large number of unaccompanied minors. unaccompanied children coming in from guatemala. she thought it was a city and it is a province and they are all comes from santa marcos. i do not understand how all of these people are making their way up to lynn. we met -- we at the numbers. two new out ofof admissions from guatemala. 26ough june of 2012, we had out of country at omissions into the school system. 13 --eptember 12 through 2013, we had 84 new admissions from out of country from guatemala. we started to look into this a little bit. a lot of these children that were coming into our city were common through a place called in sanilee center

mr. dallek's fantastic biography and realized the breadth of the health problems it makes you see kennedy and a more heraldic life. -- her rohit light. -- heroic light. >> how bad was the health? >> it was very bad. he was hospitalized for 44 days a number of times in the late 1950's. >> given the last rites a few times? >> three times. >> a number of physicians i spoke to told me they don't know if he would have lived that much longer or well into his 50's. so, it was a serious issue. they hid the it. it.hey hid the day after he was elected, there was a press conference and someone asked the bobby kennedy, what about your brother's health? they were not going to fess up to the fact that this was a man to being on the edge. what saved him were the medications he was taking them. i don't think you could have functioned the way he did. >> how much of the way we feel today is attributed to his sense of history, his sense of public image, his sense of trying to control the image and a sense of friendship with journalism? >> i think all of those things. that was a term they actually used in th

is it time we release all the cia records still sealed concerning the kennedy assassination and mr.bernstein you wrote in the last days what george h.w. bush's reaction was when he heard that the transcripts were to be released. i wonder if you could recount that quotation, please. >> i don't remember -- i wrote a piece in "the los angeles times" about -- tell me. remind me. >> apparently it pointed -- >> we can't. >> to him laundering money to mexicos to the burglars -- >> sir, sir. >> that's not what it was about. >> okay. >> thanks. >> you guys want to pick up the point about the bay of pigs? >> do you want to start or -- >> i think all i'll say is nixon was -- i read a couple -- question that a couple different ways. nixon was often interested to ask his people could we release some prior records from presidencies, kennedy and johnson, that he thought wouldxp and he wanted bay of pigs records themselves out because he thought they would make kennedy look weak in the bay of pigs. it was not a high moment for kennedy foreign policy. i think nixon does talk, does scheme at times to

conspiracy theory you want to believe, there was a culture of assassination in the kennedy administration, particularly with mr. castro and then the deaths of other people and yet and who turns out to be the victim but the man who kriteded that culture. >> but the points that survives is it was such a less violent culture. i mean whatever was going on within the bowels of the cia or the white house. we hadn't lost a president in 60 years. the crime rate had only begun its rocket all through the 60s and the 70s it would make this a much more fearful country. people don't do such things. the line from-- that is part of what was so shocking. nobody will be shocked today if a public official was shot. back then it was quite literally unthinkable 789. >> rose: a couple points, what was it-- had said. >> i think miriam-- the washington cor core said to him around the funeral, we'll never laugh again. and moynihan said no, we'll laugh again. we'll just never be young again. and it was jacqueline kennedy based on your piece, i think, in which she supposedly said there will be great presidents again, but there will not

in time, the settings of the kenne kennedys inside the rooms were replaced by museum collections, assembled by president and mrs. nixon. the nixon white house is really the white house today in the sense of the furnishings. the -- what they did was they put history back. that truman had torn away. as a presidentiol complex, the white house served the purpose well as an office adjacent to the residence. it's very crowded. and the office staff of some 3,000 people spills over into the historical state, war and navy building. that booufl second empire building to the right of it or west of it. and across the street from there to the new executive office building, a large office -- modern office building. crowded office conditions for nearly everyone are tolerated because they have to be. being in the complex is paramount for one who works there. when one says, i work at the white house, it can mean a lot of places. a big fancy office or a broom closet. but sounds good. but the residents always remains the central focus, the defining place. here the president lives. here we imagine here every day. the closest point

. >> they always point to john kennedy's inaugural address, roosevelt after pearl harbor, your speech writing, mr. gorbachev, tear down that wall. what happened to people speaking in common english? >> well, that isn't the style right now. the president is more analytical, he's more in his rhetoric, he's cool in his rhetoric to a point that many people find disengaged. that's his style -- >> so that's a polite way of saying it doesn't work. >> well, it has not worked of late. obviously, he's been elected twice to the presidency with convincing margins, and so, it's worked in some ways, but his rhetoric has tended to -- his problem right now isn't his rhetoric, it's the facts on the ground, that he's faked his policies and staked one set of policies, they didn't work, now he's going in a different direction, a direction by the way in which he's catching up with the country, rather than leading the country. in that sense, he doesn't have the same kind of hurdle to convince that he's had. the real convincing he has to do is for these persuade people he's serious and he'll be serious about following

kennedy was known for was his book "profiles in courage." if he were alive today and were adding another chapter to that historic book, he would include senator and mrs. creigh deeds in that book. [applause] >> senator, like my family, your tragedy was exhibited in public in a way that should not have to be for any family. and instead of running away from the problem, you ran toward it, and you took your own devastating, incomprehensibility personal tragedy, and you show the light of your own family's experience, facing a fragmented, uncoordinated health care system, which was the responsibility of us all to do better on and showed what the ultimate consequences of that failed system is through the loss of your son. and you, more than anyone, have helped america understand what is at stake if we do nothing to repair this broken mental health system. senator deeds and mrs. deeds, we owe you a debt of responsibility to fulfill your mission, to fix the system so that it does not have to be fall any other family like it in your own. and for that we are very grateful for your leadership.

kennedy library for a 50 year period. much of that material sealed, still. many father used this precedent in 1964 finally in 1972 was mrs saying and chose the library of congress. he felt that this was the proper place for presidential material where it could best be housed and preserved. now, my father was a devout no nonsense person. he understood that a president's personal letters are different than those. regular citizen. he had hoped now, think of this, 1964, he had hoped that in the calm, cool, political air of 2014, that there could be a careful review of the letters by historical scholars. he, of course, in 1964 had no idea or could not even imagine that the internet was coming. he would not have believed that in 2014, any person in the world would be able to read the letters at their leisurely in their office or at home. the family has some frustration that now most articles and inquiries so far have focused more on the titillating phrases rather than the8 meaningful historical content of these letters. so we're proudly here. the symposium will focus on a small part of harding's life. we were pleased to have

mr. give me liberty or give me death, the bruce fein at this day i call him. patrick kennedy-- henry made many the same arguments that you said you have created a potential monarch. he is going to the commander-in-chief power and the power of the military and the opportunity for war to take our civil liberties and impose tyranny. james madison who is the guy who drafted the first draft the constitution is the leader of the fight for the constitution of virginia. his rely was not oh don't worry to declare war clauses there. don't worry congress has permission. his answer was this pretty set on their constitution as it is in england the sword in the purse are separate and so the parliament can always cut off funds if the king chooses to fight a war. he said so will be the united states. congress can have, always has control of the purse and without it the president cannot. i agree that a fat check however today congress has chosen to fund wars. again that's my point is not a failure of the constitution for democratic set that the congress and the president are in agreement.

mr. president, and to the legacy of those who have served before me. >> the significance of these comparisons and the particular cases. >> i think that eric holder viewed robert kennedyole model. that was a guiding light for his tenure in the department. eric holder, it was very personal for him, this connection to robert kennedy. was holder's sister-in-law one of the students who desegregated the university of alabama. her name was vivian malone. she is one of the two students who governor george wallace blocked in the schoolhouse door from entering the campus under a court order to desegregate that school. the justice department, under the leadership of robert agency, was actually the that asked governor wallace to step aside and allow the students to enter into the campus. it was robert kennedy who sent , whoivil rights deputies negotiated the entrance of eric holder's sister-in-law into that university. it is a pivotal moment in civil rights history. i have to think he remember that every day of his tenure. he said he had a painting of robert kennedy in his office. i think that was very personal for him because his family, more than most, understood the role of t

i watched robert kennedy prove how the department can and must always be a choice -- force for that which is right. i hope i have done honor to the faith you have put in me, mr. president, and to the legacy of all those who has served before me. i would like to thank the vice president, who i have known for so many years, and in whom i have found great wisdom, support, and a shared vision of what america can and should be. i want to recognize my good friend, valerie jarrett, who i've been fortunate to work with from the beginning of what started out as an improbable idealistic effort with a young senator from illinois who we were both right to believe could achieve greatness. i have had the opportunity to serve in your distinguished cabinet and work with a white house chief of staff, white house staff ably led by denis mcdonough, which has done much to make real the promise of our democracy. each of the men and women i have come to know will be lifelong friends. whatever my compass mince -- accomplishments, they could not be achieved without the support of people who are not here today. my parents, eric and miriam made menurtured me, and believe in the value
