i also wanted to say i used to work for the national archives and we don't often congratulate the national archives when it does a superb job and those of you watching tv and in the audience who saw the video presentation, you should give a round of applause to tom putnam, director of the library and david, the head honcho of the entire archives and to stacy who is the curator, for that magnificent achievement.

he was one of the items in the national security archives got in 2006, 2007. program in the summer of 1962 was when kennedy started to crack down drastic weight. during the cuban missile crisis, the white house had intense control of the information and you would expect that. it was a moment of crisis. you don't want to broadcast what is happening to your enemies. after the missile crisis, the administration continue continued to control the information. that has two effects. one of them as they have a very specific story coming out. so if the press is clamoring at this point can me think about the reporter or journalist or editor at this point, you just have this massive close call with nuclear annihilation in the want to find out what happens. reporters are clamoring to the white house and the pentagon and state department trying to find out what happened that kennedy said we are not going to open the top on this. we have to carefully controlled information that gets out there. so that control story is hitting the press but it also annoys the press because t
