he was a young aide in the truman white house. by the time truman died, many of the people were no longer here. often times i think you all will agree the young person in the entourage suddenly the official spokesperson for an administration of which he or she have not been a central player at the time. he told me the story that when they were making military and the official funeral, he said it looks like it will be a great show. sorry i will not be around to see it. >> he almost made a comment about he wanted to be buried so if you wanted to go to his office he would just get up and walk. >> 40 feet away. >> a similar comment when he was asked. a long time for the process. they would have to meetings regularly. making jokes all the time. going to be part of the club you have to make jokes about your own funeral. bush would say he'd be happy to talk about all the details. how is going to be transported. demonstrating these things. he would not talk about the l word to his legacy because that was for people to figure out when he w

not long after the bills adoption president truman went on official trip to brazil. while on this trip his motorcade almost drove over the edge of a precipice. speaker martin recalled that quote truman while on a visit to south america came dangerously close to plunging down a mountainside in his auto. the news was a sobering reminder of how near i was living day to day on the edge of great responsibility unquote. as was the case with tyler and johnson barson switching the white house could easily have a curve. each of these examples until instances when a lawmaker could easily have become acting president due to the possibility of a vacancy in both the presidency and the vice presidency. what about situations in which both the president and the vice president are incapacity? history affords at least one such example here as well. in 1985 president reagan underwent surgery to move polyps from his intestine. prior to being anesthetized reagan transferred the powers and duties of his office vice president george bush under section 3 of the 25th amendment while acting p

they were not placed in the lincoln bedroom under president truman.il the early 2000's, the rooms are not mentioned. you are seeing in the early photos, it was installed in that room in 1852 so you can imagine early 2000 it was time to replace. laura bush decided to take the project on. it would have been to create this study for the lincoln furniture and the room should be restored as much as possible so january 2002, she approached the committee for the preservation of the white house and asked they would bring their expertise to participate in this endeavor. in this official room, it achieved this over the years and it was important they be involved. there would be a lot of interest in anything done to the room erthat we were fortunate the committee agreed to take this on a special subcommittee expert was appointed to work on the project. >> an example of how financial in the room originally, it was in a room down the hall and you have furniture among that furnishing and there is this little whichto is trying to take this back so you have furniture

administration, but president truman was reluctant to intervene according to some accounts.y when eisenhower came in and of course the dulles brothers as part of his administration that the coup moved forward as far as the u.s. was concerned. could you talk about the changing administration's? also the impact on iran subsequent to the coup getting up to eventually the iranian revolution of 1979? >> the conventional view is come as you said, it is that truman said the democratic administration was willing to negotiate and deal with mosaddegh. it was the republican eisenhower administration that carried out the coup. the trouble is, if you look at the documents, right from the beginning, as soon as mosaddegh was elected prime minister and nationalizd, at that time the truman administration was just as eager to actually get rid of mosaddegh. they were not thinking about a coup, they were thinking of a political means of getting rid of him. in fact, they asked the shah to dismiss him. the shah did not have the power to dismiss him. so right from the beginning of the truman admin

at first, people it the truman plan and president truman said, no, don't call it the truman plan only half of congress will vote for it. and and so they called it the marshall plan. not really, because wanted it to be. in fact, i think, you probably found it a little embarrassing, but he had established such an stature at us during the war that he was willing to work with both sides of the aisle the entire and that he would always tell the truth and he would always try to do the right thing. that i think that that allowed the congress to look at it as a whole and say, yes, this is something we want to do. what are we looking at here? this is mussolini's ceremonial sword that hung in his office in rome. it wasn't in a container, just hung on the wall. if you look at the blade you can see where there's pitting and marks probably from the pollution in rome when the allies were close to the city. he escaped took this and some other items to his villa at lake como where he thought he would be safe. but 10th mountain division captured him there they captured this sword. they gave the sword

it was his office, his cabinet room, post harry truman renovation, president truman ordered all these different lincoln era items and associated lincoln items be moved into this particular space so this photograph is from the eisenhower administration and periodically, there were different changes to it but for the most part it remained the bedroom even though herbert hoover called it the lincoln study and the lincoln bedroom after harry truman, but there was this interest about what to do with this room to restore the historical elements, calling it the lincoln bedroom, why no -- why not go back to the true lincoln era when lincoln used the space. i wanted to ask our panelist to talk us through this project. what all went into it and how it came about and how it was executed. i will leave the floor open. >> during lincoln's time, that room was not the bedroom, it was the office. the lincoln era furnishings placed in the lincoln bedroom created in 1945 under president truman, so the early 2000s, the room hasn't changed much, the carpeting you were seeing in those early photos was inst

president harry truman in 1947 proclaimed to his truman dr. an in which he said that the united states would support free peoples all over the world. he defined free peoples as people fighting communism. so in 1947, the cold war has really begun. the united states has declared that it is going to fight communism all over the globe. it's obviously important context for understanding the figure of communism at home. truman also in 1947 starts a loyalty program for government workers, which means that you can only work for the federal if you swear loyalty to the us constitution and the fbi conducts background checks on people who are working for the federal government. this loyalty program begins with truman. over the years, it becomes a much extensive and intensive, much more stringent criteria. over the next decade. so but it does begin in 1947. yes. question. do you need to move the mike for him or not. for? where was the socialist party during this time? did they have more members? and what was their relationship to the communist party? the s
