the national archives would not have put the labels on here. finally, this is the shirt oswald was wearing when he was shot. he was shot when he was in the custody of the dallas police, being moved from one place to another. and it was being filmed. so it was unusual. there was a lot of press available. the conservators at the national archives have experienced -- have experience in what we need them to. if necessary, they will reach out to an expert. they have all been trained to deal with multiple types of materials. this item is commission exhibit 126. a blue bag that was found i n oswald's effects. it was picked up at his residence on north beckley street by dallas police officers. and so this was a tag that was a fixed by them. >> so it says, charge murder there. >> right. the time that kennedy was assassinated, it was not a federal crime to kill the president. so had he gone on trial, he would've gone on trial for murder in texas. so the dallas police were investigating that. >> so, does the archive have -- had to work with the dallas pol

the national archives created the database itself. then all of that data was transferred here and we made that available to the public. you can search on an item level the records that are in the collection. if you see something you would like to see, you can come here, ask to see it on our business hours, the box will be pulled and made available in our research room at the national archives in college park. here we have three items you requested. unlike the physical artifacts, we were able to accommodate you and make it available to you because these are basically textual documents. they are not physical artifacts of the collection. this is a custom-made container made by our conservation staff. this was a bus transfer found in the pocket of lee harvey oswald after he was arrested. and was attained by the dallas police and became a commission exhibit of the worn commission -- warren commission. the second item you requested is lee harvey oswald's address bo oik. k. this is a custom-made container made by our conservation staff. this

so hamilton was thinking about national honor almost from the launching of the new nation, but he really concerned himself with the preservation of national honor when he became the nation's first secretary of the treasury in 1789. hamilton dealt with the new nation's enormous war debts, so essentially, he was responsible for establishing national credit. now hamilton's concern with national honor makes sense if you think about the credit. credit is essentially honor in another form. credit, a person with credit is trust worthy, a person with credit has a reliable and upstanding character. a nation's credit represents all of those things as well as it's standing in the eyes of the world. and nation's reputation. so credit and national honor are very much bound together. and that's precisely how hamilton understood the idea of national credit. he assumed that hfs fundamentally bound up with national honor. to hamilton, a nation with bad credit was a nation without honor. as he put it in an unfinished report that he wrote, defending his financial system after he stepped down, bad credit, q

. >> each week, american history visitserican artifacts places.and historic next, we visit the national archives in college park, maryland, to learn about the kennedy assassination records collection. the warren report was released to the public 50 years ago on september 27, 1964. we will see video recorded by the national archives of many of the well-known artifacts of the investigation including the harvey oswald's rifle, the so-called magic bullet, and he originals up router film -- zapruder film. >> the collection was created because of the act of 1992. since the time of the assassination, there have been numerous official investigations starting with the worn commission -- warren commission. the church committee looked into it. in the early 1990's, there was a movie that came out by oliver stone. at the end of the movie, he made a point of saying that all the records have been open and available. >> mr. chairman, members of the subcommittee, my name is oliver stone. i assure you it is with pleasure and with some pride i appear before the subcommittee today to urge the passage of ho

in the face of this threat, many of our nations working together and through the united nations have increased our cooperation. around the world, foreign terrorist fighters have been arrested. plots have been disrupted, and lives have an saved. earlier this year at west point, i called for a new partnership to help nations build their capacity to meet the evolving threat of terrorism including foreign terror fighters, and preventing these individuals from reaching syria and then slipping back across our borders is a critical element of our strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy isil. the historic resolution we just adopted in shrines our commitment to meet this challenge. it is legally binding and establishes new obligations that nations must meet. specifically, nations are required to prevent and suppress recruiting, organizing, transporting, or equipping of foreign terrorist fighters as well as the financing of their travel or activities. nations must prevent the movement of terrorists or terrorist groups through their territory and ensure that their domestic laws allow for the

so, 1947, when you get the national security act which really is the act that still governs the national security architecture of the united states, in fact, you can argue it's time to go back and reexamine the national security act, but remember, it created the national security counsel as we know it today. it created the department of defense. it created the united states air force as a separate service. and it created the central intelligence agency. and the director of cia was also the director of central intelligence and here was one of the flaws in the piece, this piece of legislation. because even though the director of cia was supposed to be the director of all of the intelligence agencies he had no authorization for personnel, for budget, for tasking. even to be the central intelligence figure for the president of the united states, the way, say, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is the central military figure for the president of the united states. and that is a problem that still has not been corrected even with the intelligence reform of 2004. 16 years later, when tru

the outcome of the war, the future of the nation was in doubt. cis scott key's questioning, o say does that star-spangled banner banner yet wave, highlights the fear that the americans felt about losing the war and the young democracy, the battle fought here was not a large one in terms of casualties, but its effect on the nation was profound. key's word capture the importance of the day. this moment when a seemingly invincible navy had been turned back and americans proved steadfast in defending their country. francis scott key did not desire fame for the song he wrote, as a matter of fact, he did not even write his name to it. let fame not to me be given but rather for the inspirers of the song he wrote years later, he deflected all praise away from himself and urged people to remember those who defended the fort. two men who deserved to be remembered this morning represent that cross-section of america that came together behind these walls. lieutenant levi clagget, a citizen soldier of a unit called the baltimore fencibles was killed when a pie

a wonderful opportunity for the national firearms museum to be the temporary custodians of these national treasures literally from our nation's attic. in fact a number of firearms his six children enjoyed using -- his oldest son earned the medal of honor at utah beach. his second son kermit, major in the british expeditionary forces during world war i and the united states in world war i and world war ii, died at fort richardson, alaska in 1943. son number three, archie roosevelt, given 100% disability from wounds received twice, both in world war i and world war ii -- and the first to pass, a fighter pilot shot down by the germans over france in 1918. the firearms used in the service for recreation around sagamore hill, as well as on safari in africa, are still wonderful examples and artifacts we can literally look at, reach back and touch the past. perhaps one of my favorite stories is of this winchester model 94. if you look closely at the muscle, there is an action silencer mounted on the end of that. archie roosevelt, the president's third son said father liked to take this gun out h

it's sort of been this longstanding kabuki dance between these area nations, the support nations and the u.s., who those nations want to keep their identity and contribution secret. although we have been told that it appears that saudi arabia is willing to step up at some point. don't know how. jordan certainly, but don't know how yet. so it's an ongoing process there in syria. but, i mean in that region. but as the chairman of the joint chiefs martin dempsey told reporters here at the pentagon several weeks ago, he said, look. you cannot defeat isis unless you go after them in syria. military officials say that has to include ground forces. and the u.s. military, if you listen to president obama, is not going to put boots on the ground. many even here in this building say that you shouldn't actually take options off the table when going to confront an economy that the president has chosen to do that. and it's not clear that peshmerga and the free syrian army is in no position yet, even with $500 million in aid from the u.s. and training. some predict it will take a year. others say i

>> i do believe it would be in the nations interest. i believe it is in the institution of the congresses interest -- congress's interest to speak on this question. normally, in such a case, i've been through this a few times in 24 years that i've been here -- the president of the united states would request that support and supply the wording of a resolution to authorize this force. and at this point in time, we have not gotten that request. we have not seen that language. if you see congress as an equal partner, as it is, then why not right a resolution on your own? >> typically, in my time in congress, that is not how this has happened. the president would make a request and supply the language for the resolution. >> do you believe a resolution will pass? >> i think we are at the beginning stages of building the kind of support necessary from the nation to carry out this plan and to carry it out successfully. but we are at the beginning stages of this. will it be done as the president requested? >> you are talking about two different

the nation was in a condition to wage the war. now, you might say this is true enou enough.ut that answer would have left madison with no solution to the problems the nation is facing as he understood them in the year 1811. he was making critical decisions. this is what we really lack, presidential decisions at this point in american history. all the decisions fall heavily on the presidencies of abraham and franklin roosevelt. americans in the 19th century popped relevant. george washington's job as a brigadier general is not appropriate for us to use here, and early 19th century americans were held deeply in theaters in time of war. the way they sought did think about the nature of executive power. they couldn't believe that the role of the president could rally the troops with the public at large. in other words, it wasn't the president's job to go out and campaign personally the war he was trying to wage. madison had seen john adams try to do something very similar at the end of the 1719s. if you go on to read, john edwards absolutely far exceeded the priorities of what w

the nation was in no condition to be waging war. with no solution to the problems the nation was facing as he understood them in the year 1811. today, all models for success in a presidency draw heavily on the presidencys of abraham lincoln and franklin roosevelt. but americans near the 19th century lacked relevant specimens. george washington's role as a revolutionary war general isn't really appropriate. and that was first used here. early 19th century americans, madison held deeply engrained fears about the potential abuse of executive power in the time of war. the way they saw it, that was a short road to monarchy and tyranny. to the extent that madison did think about the power, they did not believe it was the role of the president to rally the troops or the public at large. other words, it wasn't the president's job to go out and campaign personally for the war he was trying to wage. he thought madison was absolutely out of his mind. these concerns led madison to act with great restrarnt during the war, rather than listen to th
