institution and to become a moral center where all the nations of the world feel at home and develop a shared awareness of being, as it were, a "family of nations." the idea of "family" immediately evokes something more than simple functional relations or a mere convergence of interests. the family is by nature a community based on mutual trust, mutual support, and sincere respect. in an authentic family, the strong do not dominate -- instead, the weaker members, because of their very weakness, are all the more welcomed and served. raised to the level of the "family of nations," these sentiments ought to be, even before law itself, the very fabric of relations between peoples. the united nations has the historic, even momentous, task of promoting this qualitative leap in international life, not only by serving as a center of effective mediation for the resolution of conflicts, but also by fostering values, attitudes, and concrete initiatives of solidarity which prove capable of raising the level of relations between nations from the "organizational" to a more "organic" level, from si

i'm dan, the new senior director for asian affairs at the national security council. i want to say a little bit about the context in which the tate visit and state dinner will take place. without a doubt the u.s.-china relationship is one of the worlds' consequence shall bilateral relationships. from battling climbed change to countering the spread of disease. making progress on these issues requires methodical engagement at the leader level. that's exactly what we will do through the state visit and we do so-so we can advance the cooperation between us on the issues i have just mentioned, but also so we can imagine the very real differences between us, so the state dinner is a key part of president xi and madam penning's visit to the united states and the state dinner represents good, smart diplomacy. first it allows the president and mrs. obama to reciprocate for the tremendous hospitality extended to the president and he first family in china last year. second, it enables us to continue the important discussions that will have taken place earlier in the day, includi

work ofr part of the the united nations, most of the work of the united nations is funded by involuntary contributions, mainly from governments. that covers a whole range of emergency, developing relief, food and support to refugees. the split is 60% to the voluntary contributions and 40% to the assessed contributions, which is more or less half and half between the peacekeeping on the one hand and the mandatory standards of the work of the united nations undertakes. host: if you look at breakdowns of the contributions, the united states is on top of that list with over $600 million. as well as japan, germany and france. the figures that you are looking at there, they are related to a formula. the formula is more or less related to the worth of a gross tos related to messick product. corrects the percentage, it would be a higher percentage that the united states pays, but it is important that no one country should pay over 25%, so the top level was ,educed and at the bottom level so the countries at the bottom, it ended up being that they should pay much less than they should pay. there

[ applause ] >> thank you, senator dole. let me just insert one other thing, since senator dole has brought up senator truman. although we think of him and talk of him in terms of his decisions he made at the end of world war i, he made another decision that i'd like for you to carry forward from today to remember. when we arrived in japan as the occupying power, we very shortly learned that japan's leaders had left the nation on a trajectory to a mass familiar minute in 1946. japanese historians report that as many as 10 million japanese of a population of 72 million were in danger of starving to death in 19

camp was the game's national spokesman for decades. articulated the ideals of student athletes, and of football, in speeches published essays, and in over 30 books. classic and published a on the ideals of the student-athlete, which even if you are a student athlete and you have never heard of walter camp, that is what you aspire to. like any set of ideals that we have been talking about in this class, or throughout history, -- theyldom lived up to are seldom lived up to, but worthy of aspiration. by the way, football was mostly immature in the 19th century, although an early professional organization was established in 1895, the nfl was not founded until 1921. but football was not the national sport in the gilded age. it was not america's pastime. today's, we turn to case of study and focus, baseball. baseball was the national pastime by the early 1900s. it was not a natural occurrence anymore than the rise of the steel industry or the transcontinental railroad, or the meatpacking industry was natural. dare i bring up human initiative

not the greatest nation of our times, but the greatest nation on the face of the earth. but he looked tos and he said, do you know what your greatness comes from? it is not what you take but what you give. that america will give the ultimate sacrifice of life so another country can have freedom. with that freedom becomes human rights and a stronger economy. that's who we are. the second bit of advice i believe lincoln would tell us, "don't sit and just blame others for your problems. accept where you are but find a solution. you know, lincoln was elected november 1806, sworn in march 1861. in those few months seven states left the union and never once did he blame bukebuke -- buchanan. a little different than our white house today. the advice reagan would tell us, and i think this would be direct advice to the current president, peace without freedom is meaningless. history has proven whether those strive just to have peace like chamberlain, he never achieved freedom. the best example is reagan late in his second term where he's in iceland with gorbachev. he sits down, p
