mr. president. you know, you mention the many hours we have worked together in "the situation room." put together here by john kennedys. >> no windows. >> no windows. i would first like to thank you for this rare opportunity to be outside and experience the natural light. we also mentioned how i began my public service here under presidentç cartener 1977 when was 22 years old. i still remember leaving at the end of the day, walking up west executive drive, past the office of then national security adviser and looking up at the windows of the white house. the lights always on in that office, no matter how late. and i with think to myself, don't these guys ever go home? now many years later, i have the answer. no, they don't go home as often or as early as their families would like. we have been able to protect the united states an prove the role of the united states has been a privilege of a lifetime. to serve under you. those many hours of meetings and briefings have given me the opportunity to see you as few people do. behind closed doors, away from the cameras when a leader's character is revealed. with your permi

single memorable line from this speech that will go down in history the way kennedy had eic bin ie nirks berliner. or reagan had mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. each of those firmly etched in our memories. i'm not sure that mr. obama had one of those lines in this speech. what we can remember this speech for is the fact that it happened on the east side of the brandenburg gate. each of the prior presidents spoke on the west side because there was still a wall dividing the city. mr. obama is historically now the first u.s. president to speak on the east side of that gate. and it's the first time he has been able to speak there. last time he was in this city, he spoke five years ago as a candidate somewhere else. he had a crowd of 200,000 this time. a much, much smaller crowd, brooke, i'd point out, perhaps because people are so upset with him about some of those practices he's continued. 200,000 last time. somewhere around 4,500 turned out to see him this time, brooke. >> chief white house correspondent jessica yellin in berlin. jessica, thank you so much. >>> coming up next, this new documentary raises all kin

mrs. bush between you and senator kennedy. and senator roosevelt was very close to john foster douglas. the reason we have the international declaration of human rights is because of eleanor's relationship with john foster douglas. you would never think they were friends. she would say, i am not jackie. i miss jackie, and i mourn for you. t our country is in a crisis in the height of the cold war, we just came down from the cuban missile crisis, we just barely recuperated from the bay of pigs, and now we have birmingham. how are we going to deal with this? so she was able to be political. and the policy behind-the-scenes like headstart in a way that was nonconfrontational that could help soothe the political feathers that her husband had in some cases not just roughlied -- lucked [laughter] but i think there are times when it is just a fluke and we get lucky. man, she knocked it out of the ball park. >> she was also campaigning for her husband. she was a enata, omplicated person. john quincy adams' wife. he was a really impossible person. she would write letters to old john adams about

mr. dallek. >> yes. . that would be a good thing if governor wallace insists on standing in the door of the university for president kennedyty of alabama and tuscaloosa and escort the student to the university with all of the power of the federal government. i think this would be the greatest moral witness that he could make in this situation. we cannot continue to have birmingham, alabama, as the image of the united states, cannot stand in the shape of the world today. does not afford us the luxury of such an anemic democracy. >> how did he deal with the prodding by civil rights leaders at that time? and what was his relationship like dr. king? they met and talked a lot. >> well that. >> did, but they weren't close. and kennedy was, for example, you know, in the summer of '63, there was the famous march on washington. >> right. >> and kennedy and his brother robert, who was of course the attorney general, were resistant to that, because they were afraid that it would end up in violence. and of course when it came off peacefully and so successfully and with martin luther king's brilliant speech, kennedy invited the civil r

mr. president, they're wonderful, all of them. you see, senator kennedy knew the day would come when a group of senators, divided by party but united by love of country, would see the fight to the finish and that's what we did. that's what these ten men allowed us to do. and i'm not going to ever forget about the man seated right behind me, senator leahy. his markup will go down in history. it was the way that we are here today. he's my friend. i will always admire how he handles everything he does but especially what he did on this bill. so the day is today. and while i'm sad that senator kennedy isn't here to see history made, i know that he is looking at us proudly and loudly. remember that voice? but, you know, mr. president, he's not alone. i have no doubt that my father, my father-in-law is here in spirit. astrid silva is here today i'm sure she's in the gallery someplace, and she'll be looking down from where she's seated when the united states senate votes to expand this country's frontiers and moves it closer to its ideals. but she's not here alo

mr. president, i have indicated the part of the subcommittee chair. this includes ted kennedy who tried to do this the best that he could. he was chairman for decades. i'm sure that he is, and wait until next friday, he's going to smile at all this because this is a remarkable and good piece of work that he tried to do for a long time. this country is a nation of immigrants. i have to say just a couple of more things. my wonderful wife is here in america today because her father came here from russia. he and his people were persecuted against. one thing he did accomplish, he fathered my wonderful wife. an only child. as a result of that, i have five wonderful children, 16 grandchildren, that is what immigration is all about. that is why this country of ours has found immigration as a source of vitality and not a burden. this has been part of america's genius. i'm very proud of this body. >> the senator from vermont. >> i appreciate the comments. and i will be speaking further on this later this week or this coming week i thank him for getting us here. i am reminded that legisl

kennedy famously spoke at the gate. >> ich bein ein berlinder. >> reporter: and president reagan. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> reporter: but the comparison president obama can't escape is to his own speech five years ago. >> we will not leave our children to a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands. >> reporter: at a site just blocks away then candidate obama drew a cheering crowd of 200,000. so massive it inspired this attack ad called celebrity. >> is he ready to lead? >> reporter: the estimated size of today's crowd much smaller. close to 4500 invited guests. he's lost some of his luster here in part by continuinging some of president bush's counter terror policies. >> it means tightly controlling our use of new technologies like drones. >> reporter: drones, guantanamo bay, now nsa surveillance. in germany where memories of the secret east german police are still fresh, fears of nsa snooping are especially intense. so the president offers reassurances. >> this is not a situation in which we are rifling through the ordinary e
