janet rankine who by pure coincide had also voted against the declaration of war in the first world war. served two non consecutive terms in congress and both times her claim to fame was she had voted against the declaration of war. the presidential speech writing function gradually increases, in part because presidents become more mobile. during the 1950s president eisenhower begins greater use of what we would today call air force one. he originally called it the columbine. and at times eisenhower who had gotten a pilots license would actually take the controls. at times he actually flew the plane. he was an extremely competent guy. eisenhower did do some traveling. made some speeches around the country. even did some television. one thing he didn't do though, in the 1950s was live press conferences. there was pressure from the press for him to do live press conferences. and he was resistant to that. because he thought that he might inadvertently reveal national security information. now you may wonder why was he so paranoid and sensitive about national security information? well he's

others were gay like montana's jeannette rankin, the first woman elected to the u.s. congress. or bisexual like adelina warren, a new mexican educator and politician. by the 1890s, huge numbers of women such as luna kelly, and nebraska farm wife and mother of 11, helped make the west the national capital of the new aggressive politics. she was also a folk singer and a poet and she wrote a very rousing ballad called stand up for nebraska that brought everybody to their feet. progress is upheld women's rights and a poorly economic justice for average people, and opposed the corrupt lyrical machines and corporate monopolies of the eras -- political machines up until this time there certainly have been rich people in america but in two oh the gilded age which started after the civil war, there were not these enormous inequities like that separated, like the superrich from everybody else. so this was something that americans were just coming to terms with, and that's how the progressive movement developed. the kansas homesteader turned lawyer mary elizabeth lease, cofounded the new

. >> thank you so muchmo and than you for holding this hearing, chairwoman johnsonem and rankin memberlewis.or thank you to the panel for joining ussi for this very important discussion. my home state of north carolina is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather like floods and hurricanes, and that's why accurate, prompt weatherhe forecasting fromhu the national weather service is critical to protecting lives, personal property and our infrastructure. butst as we saw with the foreca in the deadly 2011 tornado season. exceptional forecasts alone cannot predict lives. rather, it would require, as we discussed, a whole of government approach where the national weather servicehe collaborates with local officials, individuals and organizations responsible for making public safetyi decisions. i look forward to talking about ways to increase this collaboration, and i want to build a little bit on what representative bowman raised about inspiring the next generation of scientists and forecasters. here inle raleigh, north caroli, we have a wonderful newly renovated science museum that has a c

rankin. >> thank you for allowing me to speak. i would like to talk about the s.a.l.t. thing. there's a couple of things that were said that i think need to be clarified. one was that this bill was inflationary, and i just pointed to the members that september 20th open letter from 17 winners of the nobel prize in economics explains that the build back better act would boost u.s. economic performance without presenting an inflationary threat. and that's because it's paid for. it's paid for. and i think it's ironic that those who are questioning whether or not it's inflationary are the same ones that passed the republican tax bill which cut taxes without paying for them, and that is in fact inflationary. and there's been a number of the witnesses today that have commented about bank reporting provisions in the bill. and i think it's important to point out that there are no bank reporting provisions in this bill. and then also, someone said that we should be working on real issues. remember, this bill deals with climate change, making health care more accessible, lowering the co
