you mentioned afrim versus rusk and the court recognized that for people not born in the united statesongress can take their citizenship away unilaterally without their consent which is something that the court and other contacts in the afrim case and others have said it cannot do for those born in the united states. just to touch quickly on some of the comments with respect to territorial status. i think one of the things to think about and this is the approach that we've been putting forward is as this conversation about political status and self-determination continues, residents of puerto rico and these other areas should immediately have political rights and political representation in order to have political power in the very political process that they must navigate. there's historical precedence with this with d.c., the 23rd amendment and providing the right to vote, and there was an amendment that passed congress and failed in the states to provide raefgz in congress for them. some of these other strategies for providing political representation and power as a civil rights iss

you mentioned afrim versus rusk and i think the more disturbing case is rogers versus belai. it recognizes that for people not born in the united states congress can take their citizenship away unilaterally without their consent which is something that the court, in other context, in the afrim case and others, have said it cannot do for those born in the united states. just to touch quickly on some of the comments with respect to territorial status. i think one of the things to think about and this is the approach that we've been putting forward is as this conversation about political status and self-determination continues, residents of puerto rico and these other areas should immediately have political rights and political representation in order to have political power in the very political process that they must navigate. there's historical precedence with this with d.c., the 23rd amendment and providing the right to vote, residents of d.c. for president. there was an amendment that passed congress and failed in the house to provide representation in congress for them. so

dean rusk never had the doubt that george ball had. he was always very convinced that we needed to be there, he was always a defender. senator fulbright got increasingly perturbed about dean rusk, a man that he did not think was up to the job. someone at that time said that dean rusk would have been the perfect undersecretary of state, but he was the wrong person to be secretary of state and they needed a secretary of state in a sense, that could speak against a policy that the president wanted from time to time. not necessarily go along with the president on everything, that dean rusk was too much of a bureaucrat, too much of a person who went along with the president and the secretary of defense. rusk articulated the policies as well as anybody in the administration. he did it constantly. he did it in closed sessions, public sessions, fulbright was just frustrated beyond belief with him. thier once strong relationship became very estranged, just the way that fulbright's was with president johnson. and after the hearings were over, ru

. >> secretary rusk testified and the lines were getting more drawn. it was a rationale of people who supported the war and this is what the johnson administration was trying to say. the newspaper editorials which supported him, which was in "the washington post," they were also great critics and were really becoming more and more skeptical. "the new york times's" editorial page were writing very critically and their reporters in saigon were contradicting what the american military was saying. so the press and the media were dividing up among these lines. senators were having to choose sides also, and that was becoming much more of an issue. i don't -- i think this was a high water mark in some ways for the administration. from this point on, the support for the war begins to diminish. the opposition begins to increase and affect the news gets worse and the more troops have to be sent in. and the hopes of the time that rusk was speaking in 1956 that the president was going to limit this war and keep china out of this war and that a were going to not se
