did not convene the national security council very often and john kennedy largely spliffed it. eisenhower, by contrast, endowed the nsc, the national security council, we enorm mose import. he used the weekly meetings to craft to review and approve policies. in his eight years in office the national security council -- here's a number, think about this -- eight years 0 in office, eisenhower's nsc met 366 times. eisenhower was present at 329 of them. a 90% attendance rate, the meeting of his own national security council, once a week. now, a later generation, indeed the kennedy, lampooned this as bureaucratic drudgery, meetings, how boring. i'm an academic and i can say that. know how boring meetings can be but that's not how eisenhower saw it. good government required constant focus, disciplined planning, famous phrase that he used again and again, plans are worthless but planning is everything. if you haven't been planning you can't start to work intelligently, at least. in the hour of crisis, ike wanted a disciplined, well-trained staff system in place and ready to roll. discipline carried over into this app

people in the national archives who have never particularly liked the presidential libraries and over time foes of the libraries on capitol hill have increased steadily the amount of the endowment. now no longer does the foundation not only have to build the building, they have to provide an endowment sufficient to cover 60% of all operating costs. can you think of another cultural institution in america that operates under that formula? it's as if we're punishing these institutions that are en'd have the world over. people come to this country from other countries all the time to look at our presidential libraries and see if they can reproduce it. it was a stroke of genius on fdr's part and unfortunately it's being done done. >> i'm going to get to our questioners in the audience. >> i work for the national park service and we're working on a major renovation of the lincoln memorial to create a visitor experience in the undercrop to tell not the story of lincoln but of his legacy of why he was memorialized and how the evolution of that site significance has changed over time. we also have the eisenhower memorial being constructed in d.c. i'm curious about your thoughts about t

equal, that all are endowed by the creator with certain unalienable rights and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. part of the difficulty in politics and in the nationnd the whole nation need to hear that if we are to appreciate martin king and the movement that elected him, and caused him to emerge, we should hear the words of rosa parks. who on december 5, 1955 said -- as she went home, after hearing martin luther king jr., who had just that afternoon been selected as the advocate and spokesperson for the bus boycott. and for the montgomery improvement association, the president, she said -- god has now given us a moses. god has clearly now given us the moses for our struggle. she said that december 5th, 1955. so it's important to see martin luther king jr. as already been said, not primarily as a civil rights person. it's important for the nation to understand that martin luther king jr. is the moses or the jesus of the 21st century at least for western civilization and for the united states and for nobody else. and if we do not absorb that about king, then we're probably not going to absorb anything about king. it is a mistake to call him as he

endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. because those rights come from our creator they are inalienable and they cannot be taken from you. every nation before us had a different point of view. they believed that rights came from god to a ruler who then just decided what privileges he was going to give out to you. that is not what we believe in america. we believe in god we trust, that our rights come from god. ronald reagan said a couple generations ago, we are one nation under god and if he ever orget and if not, we will be one nation gone under. as we look at the nation at this time and we look for a compass to drive us forward, we don't need to look any further than those four words. america is in the like any nation that came before us. at times of crisis, leaders have emerged, the american people have rally and we've done what every other generation before us has done, left this nation better than we found it. there is no reason to believe that we can't do that again. all we have to do is go back to founding principles and stand for the things that have always ade this nation great. i'm too competitive a person to ll you i'm gla
