next to him is senator richard russell, who would sign the warren commission report, even though it became clear in the years after the commission went out of business that russell didn't agree with the report. that he thought there might well have been a conspiracy in kennedy's death. next to him is gerald ford, who would go on to become president of the united states, who was at the time a powerful house republican. it would later be learned that ford had volunteered to be a secret informant for the fbi on the warren commission, to share information with the fbi quietly. and ford would acknowledge that years later. next to him, chief justice warren, president johnson. next to president johnson is alan dulles, the director of central intelligence for many years, who would be forced out of that job by the debacle of the bay of pigs. it sure appears that dulles had a terrible conflict of interest by serving on the warren commission, because among other things, it appears that dulles knew about the cia plots to kill fidel castro. in fact, he may have ordered some of those plots. yet he appar

so the joy is richard sherman and russell wilson and marshawn lynch will kick your butt to kingdom come. the carry over was once again terrible, before people realized when they are weak, we are can be strong. not initially, but by the end of the day. it's the way the individual players that didn't execute well that really wrangles me today. let's pick on stocks that missed assignments and got pummeled for it. we've grown used to the idea that verizon delivers. it's a good dividend that never moves in good increments, like a bomb with a big wireless kicker. like missing a field goal from 20 yards out and the stock took more than two points off the guard. we thought verizon was avoiding the fray. this is one quarter with anecdotally i should have seen it coming. two of my closest friends just this weekend switched to sprint to save what they think maybe $1,000. they confessed to the price war and the market is down giving it the business for a 4.05% lost. we're not used to seeing this happen. the analysts haven't had a chance to process it yet. we may expect nor downgrades tomorrow which

. >> i'm don richard, the senate historian, and we're in the senate caucus room which is in the russell senate office building. before c-span started covering the senate in late 1986, this was the most famous room in the capitol, and in the capitol complex, because this is where the major hearings had been televised going back to the -- well, newsreels covered it back in the 1920s and '30s, but television came along in the 1940s. in 1941 a senator from missouri named harry truman says that we're getting ready to go to war. we're spending millions of dollars on defense. we need to look into the way the defense contracts are being allocated. we need to make sure that money is being spent wisely and we're not being gypped by unscrupulous developers. and in fact, truman was a great scholar of history and had read a lot about the american civil war and knew that a lot of shotty equipment had been, you know, sold to the government during that period. and so he held investigations in here. but truman had also read enough about the joint committee on the conduct of the war, which made life very
