better president than roosevelt were the heroes like franklin roosevelt or churchill the villain is really good like william randolph hearst mrs. a cinquain if you like of american newspapers so was joe kennedy and charles lindbergh and a man called the father charles to is the inventor of hate radio. yet avast listenership and he was against fdr with foreign policy also wicked anti-semites like henry ford who would issue a daily newspaper praising isolationism draw his distribution deals you could pick one up in the show room and spiteful stuff how the jews were running the country down then people like walt disney was anti-semitic and he welcomed people to hollywood and all the other moguls would pass. to the with these personalities it should be remembered that history is made up of personalities and strong personalities to make an enormous difference there are socio-economic movements that take place but in the case of most stories you can make a real difference and to the nike dash christoph -- chris jeff and tell i thought about it to say i don't think that aristotle onassis would have proposed.

elbow jumper. 57-56, georgetown. 15 seconds to go, roosevelt jones, me and mr. jones! he had 28. but that left time for isaac copeland at the buzzer. georgetown wins, 61-59. it's a big time win. he's a freshman! from the corner, georgetown winning it by two. >>> virginia and boston college, there's mr. bennett. he's got himself a pretty good team, and this is going to the hole? no, but the follow, yes. virginia, isaiah wilkins doing it there. and he was doing it again, anthony gill with the flush. this was a flush party. virginia rolling over boston college today, 66-51. virginia's still undefeated, by the way. >> what? >> yeah, they are, like, 20-0, something like that. trust me, they are undefeated. >>> battle of georges, george washington taking on george mason, from the corner, joe mcdonald. you better believe it. the buzzer-beater. that made it 26-20 at the break. here comes george mason. the green machine. corey edwards making it 29-28. paul jorgensen made the three- pointer here, with the assist. george washington winning that one, 63-53. george washington winning that one

on end in his compound in florida plotting against roosevelt and roosevelt would call him up and say don't you know there is a war on? mr. chamberlain is asking about you. get back to london. it is almost amazing charm. one of the great delights about roosevelt, you meet every day this extraordinary broad character. was distinct to everybody, even people like frankfurter never knew quite what he was talking about. if he said one thing did he mean it? probably not. he was that sort of character. whoever was in front of him, as long as they were in front of him but as soon as they left the door a wonderful story about how joe kennedy called from london at one stage and we know this because lyndon johnson was in the oval office and franklin roosevelt saying yes, tell me, how is the family and everything? and linda johnson -- it isyndon johnson -- it is the real, day. to live through these times with such a light air. they all get into a bunker eventually but franklin roosevelt was always out and about. he had a family living with him, doctors living with him, two grandchildren all in the white house. the whole thing was go

roosevelt. tell us what the ad says and the objection-mr. sullivan. >> the ad 'twas a full page ad in "the new york times" and it was aimed at trying to rally support for the civil rights movement and particularly dr. martin luther king the ad said that law enforcement officials in montgomery alabama, interestingly it didn't name any officials, just said law enforcement officials -- had harassed dr. king had padlocked the dining hall at the local college, had expelled students talked about student protests singing "my country 'tis of thee" and ran through six paragraphs of describing civil rights era activities in the montgomery alabama, area. lb sullivan was the sheriff of montgomery, alabama, and basically said that the ad damaged his reputation and libeled him. the falsehoods were relatively minor, the dining room wasn't padlocked but some students were not allowed to eat in the dining room. the police didn't ring the campus with a police line, there was just a strong police presence at the campus. the students didn't sing "my country 'ti

when president roosevelt summoned him to the white house to ask him if he could hide a billion dollars for his super top-secret national defense project, senator mckellar said "well, mr. president, of course, i can -- and where in tennessee are we going to build this plant?" perhaps things don't change as much as we think. i recite all of this personal history not to remind you how old i am, but to remark on how young our country is, how true it is in america that, as william faulkner wrote, "the past isn't dead. it isn't even the past." the same ventilation system that senator jefferson davis of mississippi presided over the installation of in the senate chamber in 1859 -- which, by the way, was just before he left the senate to become president of the confederacy -- was still in use when i first came here as a boy, when television and nuclear power were in their infancy. my friends, we enter rooms that clay and webster and calhoun seem only recently to have departed. we can almost smell the smoke of the fire the british kindled in what is now senator lott's office, burning down this building in august of 1814. incidentally, if you smell any smoke now, i must confes

mrs. warren's profession and emmy for his role in the practice he received two emmy nominations for the trouble franklin d. roosevelte kicking off the new year was so new resolutions if you want to make sure this is it your resolution this year there is an application for that. >> reporter: out old habits in with the new fed is off the tops the list of resolutions and that led gronchi particular track of time and distance to walk or run the mile so franz there is a go of its 2015 began with a walking and jogging a working up to that 0.1 mi. and a dye will complement the work out at flights by fitness aisle to help the out is and the calorie conscious guy who was the skinny on which nearby establishment and all items getting the special guys like low cards for financial resolutions the level money application of she stay on budget acting as a single budget meter starting the first of the month for consumer watch. >> reporter: most of that happened and the last few months of the year presage are below $3 a gallon across most of the country and according to the report gas prices remain low america could pocket even mor

roosevelt had such contempt for him. >> it would have been fascinating to be the proverbial fly on the wall on the day truman was inaugurated when the chief of staff said mr. president there something you need to know that's going on out in new mexico. >> and hitler yumeg points and none of us give us points -- give him points for being a great human being but i think the same thing about napoleon, why russia? why couldn't they just stick to europe and be happy with that and maybe that's not part of the personality like that. >> it apparently is not barbara. i think the one thing napoleon and hitler had in common was they were drinking their own kool-aid. >> and alexander the great if we really want to go back. >> the great captains of history typically were a victim of their own success. >> i think that's true. we talked about people and to give a lot of space to the various armed forces land sea and air on the american the british and the german front which i thought was fascinating. talk about the weaponry, the kinds of planes and the kinds of guns and you give credit to american gun designers mr. browning in i'm sorry don't member the other one. >> mr

mr. paulsen: i thank the gentleman for yielding. 1938 was franklin roosevelt who signed a fair labor standards act establishing full-time work as 40 hours. for more than 70 years that has been the accepted definition for government, for corporations, for small business. but in 2010, the president's health care law through 70 years of precedent completely out the window. this new 30-hour rule is forcing companies to scaleback hours with more part-time jobs and less full-time jobs. now many employees that were working full-time, good good full-time jobs have seen their paychecks cut up to 25%. one study recently found that regulations in the president's new health care law like the 30-hour rule are reduce small business wages to workers every year by $22 billion. and that employment in small businesses has been reduced by 350,000 jobs. mr. speaker americans want more full-time opportunities and they should get to choose to pursue those opportunities not have their employers forced to reduce them to part nim -- part-time work. mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to put in the record a letter fro

to president teddy roosevelt or a republican who signed the antiquities act into law in 1906 and includes the former establishment of the national park system almost 100 years ago. mr president, this is an extraordinarily beautiful country that we all have the privilege to represent. we ought to encourage conservation efforts not make them harder to achieve. we ought to build on the legacy of generations of americans and generations in this body of republicans and democrats working together to preserve our natural heritage. i will therefore op the fischer amendment when it comes up for a vote and i urge my colleagues to do the same. mr. president, i y mr. schatz: thank you madam president. yesterday i offered an amendment to the keystone x.l. bill which is really straightforward and it won't affect the outcome of the underlying legislation and i do think it has the potential to get strong bipartisan support. and that's because my amendment states a simple set of facts. that climate change is real and that humans are contributing to it. this is an opportunity for people on either side of the keystone debate to agree on something and that is the facts. it will inform

roosevelt and ronald reagan. we follow process. >> i certainly did not mean to missate -- in the gentlewoman does understand what i'm saying then. i appreciate it very much. mr. aderholt welcome to the rules committee. you're normally up here on appropriations time with agriculture. i assume, i've forgotten, do you still have that a chairmanship? >> [inaudible] >> and that you did. that you did. >> but thank you for your -- >> gentleman's recognized. >> thank you. thank you for having -- [inaudible] >> microphone please sir. >> thank you for having me here this evening. the distinguished members of the committee and allowing me to speak on the amendment which i am cosponsoring with congressman mulvaney and barletta to the department of homeland security appropriation bill. i do want to recognize the work of representatives mick mulvaney of south carolina and lou barletta of pennsylvania for their partnership on these important issues. for time's sake, i want to keep my comments brief, but please let me -- can allow me to highlight some of the purposes of the amendment. the amendment that is before the rules committee prevents any funds appropriated or user f
