the conservators here at the national archives. and some of the items in the wallet were things like a social security card, his selective service notice, a service i.d., because of course he was in the marine corps at one time. also, a fair play for cuba committee identification card, that was an organization he belonged to. let's see what else is interesting in here. other kinds of id's, a public library card. and so, all of these are just the contents of a wallet, just like you would have in your own wallet, whatever you have right now. this is something we would not normally make available to researchers, that is why we have filmed it. mostly because of the wallet itself even more than the content. there you can see some photographs -- the woman in the picture is his wife marina. there you can see his marine corps photograph as well. so, the next exhibit that our conservator is showing you here is fbi exhibit k-51, which was the camera used by mr. zapruder to take a very famous film of the assassination which probably most peopl

the national institutes of health conduct basic research on diseases such as aids. food and drug administration hastens the approval process to bring new drugs to the public. the substance abuse and mental health services administration provides services for mental, behavioral, and addictive disorders. the health-related concerns connected with hazardous waste are increasingly important. another responsibility of the agency for toxic substances and disease registry. a relatively recent addition is the agency for health care policy and research. the agency strives to assess the effectiveness of medical care. the public health service also responds to needy members of the community, providing care to native americans through its indian health service. it also assists the elderly, drug addicts, those with aids, and others who might be forgotten. when it started, its mission was to serve a group that had little access to medical care, merchant seamen. that was in 1798, when an act of congress signed into law by president john adams provided for the government to maintain

in 2020, the national people's congress standing something passed the national security law for hong kong which criminalizes secession, subversion, and collusion with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security. here's an example of what beijing considers inciting secession. a 19-year-old girl was arrested for waving a plflag with the wos "hong kong independence." a 19-year-old man was arrested for selling stickers. and the united states we recognize that as free speech and it's fundamentally -- fundamental to any free people's way of life. but unfortunately just when you think things couldn't go worse, they do. last month the hong kong police launched a hotline for people to report national security law violations. the national people's congress standing committee recently disqualified four members of the hong kong legislative council for supporting hong kong's independence. 15 other legislative council members resigned in protest. leaving the legislative council dominated by the pro-beijing voting bloc. and just days ago, jimmy lay was charged under the

the crowds cued up outside the national gallery. pictured here. look at this, enormous amazing amount of people who lined up in cold, freezing january. for many, it was the first time they had visited a art museum and many would return for subsequent visits. they waited four hour upon hour for a chance to see the mona lisa with our very own eyes. the exhibition as jackie kennedy had hoped, triggered a renewed appreciation for culture and the fine arts that had been dormant in the post war years. the gray, the cold eisenhower years were suddenly replaced with the vibrant cultural, and artistic interests brought to national attention by the new, youthful and exuberant kennedy family. mrs. kennedy was very much the prime mover in this new feeling and sensibility. people from all facets of american life came to the museum, fathers and mothers with their children, and in washington d.c., many residents in the less privileged neighborhoods took their children in small -- long ones to see for themselves one of the treasures of mankind. this is my absolute

together they reached out to touch the nation. yet to receive the mandate that comes with victory at the polls, it was a goal he fervently hoped to attain. election night, 1976. >> that is the way it stands. electoral votes, president ford, 1037. two more than he needed. jimmy carter -- the next president of the united states. >> in the end, he fell short by less than the local percentage points, yet he had won far more than he had lost. on a crisp january day in 1977, the new president's first words expressed profound gratitude to the man from grand rapids for healing a divided nation. in two and a half years gerald , ford had restored the presidency to the people of the united states. indeed it is no exaggeration to say that he gave us back our government. in the season of doubt he restored our faith in our leaders and in ourselves. >> when i look back, i think the american people, whether everybody agreed with my policies or not, they knew they had a new leader with a different part of you who restored integrity and trust in th

the keeper of the national register, who is an employee of the park service, said the properties qualify not only as a national historic registered property or a national landmark of which there are 2000 in the country like mount vernon, but they would qualify as a world heritage site. they were that significant. so that is quite an endorsement. next slide. but the lab had run the numbers and the estimated it was going to be $3 million to restore these properties. and they have no money for preservation. congress had allocated their budget on the mission of stockpile and environmental cleanup. historic preservation was not among them. but we were gaining a little traction. the properties were named by the state of new mexico aso one of the 11 most endangered places. so, people were beginning to get the word that there were these properties behind the fence. i may not have mentioned that. these were not known to the residents of los alamos necessarily. i talked to the former los alamos county council chairman whose a father had been a chef at the f-site cafeteria and near the v-site. she

we prioritized the aviation industry over national security. again, given the number of jobs there were in the aviation industry. had we had more resources, a lot of the people at treasury couldn't come into the building. so yes, i feel badly that it took us as long as it did, but we executed a lot of programs in record times. yes, as it related to national security, once we got to national security, we prioritized the larger loan over the other ones. >> the gao specifically notes you approved the loan while your internal program guidance was still in draft form and subject to change, and your incremental theoach may have weakened consistency in which treasury analyzed loan applications. did you use the same application review process and criteria for other loans you applied to yrc? >> we're happy to respond in writing to the gao issue and we will copy you on that. >> thank you, mr. secretary. >> thank you. representative hill? >> thank you, chairman. i want to read you some quotes here from a news article, associated press. licly trading compan

first of the nation can watch as well. over the next hour or so i want to talk about world war i and its importance to the united states and to the world as well. this may come as a surprise to people but world war i is the most important war of the 20th century. yes it did say that. not world war two. world war i. world war ii is the bloody sequel where they had to film all the scenes that work to resolve that should have been. in this case the united states has largely forgotten about world war i. it's unfortunate. we don't like the outcome which resulted in a huge partisan squabble between -- and woodrow wilson. within a couple of years after the war most americans thought that getting involved in the war was a mistake. we just simply want to forget about it. whereas in world war ii, the country achieved a global superpower. the bad guys were really bad. we kicked their butts. the country ever afterwards has really celebrated the world war ii generation. whereas world war i has been largely forgotten about. the importanc

in the nation of islam, they want separation. i want to be a part of the don't want to be integrated, they don't even want to deal with the kkk either . we want to be separate. have our own state and laws and leave everybody alone. so that is the positioning. what happens in the meetings of the kkk points to find out what they can do. they believe they have a common enemy and martin luther king. that comes up in the meeting. there are other things become of the meeting that i thank you so important to read the book the details of this. but it's again understand with the positions are all of these people that saw is simple and black and white is you don't deal with these enemies. you have to find out where they are. malcolm never wanted to be to align themselves with the kkk in any manner. even since i heard his life, before he died that he was part of the early negotiations and that he regretted it any wanted nothing to do with after it. and he doesn't deal with it anymore after this meeting. randall: so who in your dad interview

end, as the centuries go by, the example for all the nations of the earth, a nation in which we shall see the spirit of peace and of justice incarnate. >> while he lived something did happen to america but more to be remembered than his achievements is the passion with which he upheld basic american beliefs and principles and the way he brought alive a similar spirit in others. together with our greatest leaders, he still moves among us. always our great need is for his kind of idealism, willingness, and courage. >> on january 20, 1961, john f. kennedy took president of the president of the united states. on that day he made it clear that a new administration was on the move. a year had passed in which bold new programs moved. sometimes with success, sometimes not, but always with vigor. president kennedy set the keynote for his new administration in his inaugural address. >> so let us begin anew. remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness and sincerity is always subject to proof. let us never negotiate out of fear but let us never gear to negotiate.

for the nation's capital. 1791, you're looking at here is the plan for the nation's capital. a plan that imagined, essentially from rolling hills filled with a few homes and cows and sheep, a full fledged city and new capital for the new nation. in 1800, the federal government relocates to washington for the first time. and so washington is a key player in this post revolutionary history and the government having reestablished itself here, or having established itself here, moving from philadelphia makes washington the locus of a lot of commemoration. so how do we depict the american revolution? first of all, here's a view of the capital building in 1814. it had been under construction since 1793. but then in the war of 1812, it had been burned by the british and you can see the two wings, the senate wing and the house wing, but the rotunda in the center had never been completed and now was severely damaged. john trumbull, the american painter, was commissioned by congress to make for paintings commemorating the american revolution. trumbull consulted with monroe at the time.

welcome to the national museum of the american indian. i'm at a gallery for the exhibition we call americans. this is an exhibition, as you would expect, in part about native americans, but also about americans generally and american culture. we have become intrigued by how native american imagery is used broadly in the american culture. and so on the walls in this gallery, you will see many, many depictions of native american people, native american designs. we literally use it as wallpaper to make the point that, at the same time, indians are everywhere in the popular culture. but they remain unknown to most people here in the united states. do you think the average american has a sense of how often we see these images in our everyday lives and the products that are purchased at the store and the services and companies that are out there? >> i don't think they do because it's wallpaper, it's background. if you are native, you do notice it and you see it everywhere. so we know it is real as a phenomenon, but we also know that most people
