" the wonderful thing about what the kennedys did have nothing to do with individual

mrs. kennedy, kathleen, and other members of the kennedy family, and my family -- fellow members of the panel. i think the first time that i got to really know of the work of attorney general robert kennedy, and i know john doar and john seigenthaler will have much more to say about this, was during the freedom rides. i think it was the first real test in the area of civil rights. just think in 1961, black people and white people could not board a greyhound bus or a trail waste bus and leave washington, d.c. and be ceded to the header and travel through virginia, north carolina, south carolina, georgia, alabama, mississippi, into new orleans without the possibility of being arrested. or jailed. or beaten. and that is what happened. we were testing the decision of the united states supreme court, 13 of us. seven whites and six african- americans,. railways and greyhounds. violence in south carolina. between atlanta and birmingham, our bus was burned. one organization stopped the freedom rid

mrs. kennedy, we all know the call of your husband the land of the senate. and with good reason. widget we all know that they call your husband the lion of the center. no one else spoke out as he did not for the downtrodden of our nation.

[applause] he was without doubt the most dedicated champion of health care reform for all americans in this entire week in the united states senate. that is why this historic health care bill fell was enacted last year is here today. it was appropriate that we are honoring him during this 25th anniversary of the king holiday. as you also heard, he was a primary sponsor of the king holiday in the senate. his remarkable most of casing skills and his knowledge of procedures, customs, and relationships with other senators w

[applause] this has been an amazing week. there have been many joys and much sadness as well. as you have all heard, my uncle died this week. he had led a life of devoted service, accomplishing so much. the peace corps, the war on poverty, his work with special olympics and support for his wife. i am always big unman the help you, so i am big arm sarge. what an extraordinary family. the children merely help one another. i want to say, on behalf of our family, how much we will miss sarge. the other person that died this week was iangie novello. one of my father's secretaries. i cannot remember life without her. she was very devoted to him. she would come over on sundays in take dictation. that is when you had to use shorthand. i could no

>> i'm tim kennedy. okay. this -- mr. decker -- mr. beck bought the house next door to me. i immediately went and met with him in person. i -- i showed him my plan aths -- i showed him my plans and took him to my house. i told him the plans. he said at that time, i won't oppose you. i proceeded. essentially, mr. becker is going to lose his view. the building is directly across the street in front of him. my place is right over from the building. it cuts out his light. i agree. when i told him the man, he said that's the case, that is what you're going to do, then i'm going to do the same thing. he didn't want to go through the process i been through. i've been working on this since 2007 and they fought me at every turn. i think we have a brilliant design. i think it works well with the neighborhood. in fact, i think it would be a big a asset. i -- i -- i told you, he said he didn't want me to look into this bedroom. i offered to build a wall. that would prevent that from happening because this -- his -- his room is right across -- the alley. as far as the -- the air conditi

which one of these two small things make up the some things that mr. kennedy opposes? you know, as you heard from the introduction, i come from a baseball family with a deep baseball heritage. so i take it personally, the insult to america's greatest game, that the chavez-controlled company that joe kennedy shrilled for, citgo, heads up in joe's hometown, boston. i'm talking about the giant citgo sign that looms over the hallowed green monster in boston's fenway park. if joe kennedy wants to show he is really concerned about some things that chavez is doing, he can see to it that boston, the boston citgo sign is turned off. [cheers and applause] he can see to it that fenway park's citgo sign is covered up until freedom and democracy return to venezuela. [applause] and by the way, it wouldn't bother me if everyone in this office and everyone listening didn't purchase their gas from citgo. [applause] transforming vens wail loo into -- venezuela into an oil-rich cuba is what chavez has been doing, undermining u.s. security is what he is doing. what should we do? here's a

i remember he said mr. attorney general, i remember reading that when you were a senior at the university of virginia law school you invited ralph bunche to appear at the university of virginia for law day, and there was an upwaroar d the president of the university said he could not come, and your classmates would not support you, but he pushed it.

and jerome smith was heading right in front of robert kennedy. robert kennedy was sitting on the chair in the middle of the living room and jerome smith was right at his feet. the first metro smith told the attorney general was mr. attorney general, you make me want to. and needless to say, bobby kennedy was shot. but that was just beginning. jerome smith receded to tell him that if the u.s. had gotten involved in a war with cuba, he wouldn't fight. the attorney general was aghast. this concept of conscientious refusal for military service was still a little bit foreign to him. i look around the room at the older members of the gathering for a little bit of support. he wanted them to kind of put the young man and his ways. they all nodded and said that spray. he is speaking what we want is he, too. this meeting lasted three hours. at the end of it, robert f. kennedy was out, physically shaken. so did james baldwin, the author who organized the whole event. in fact, i talked with the man who took them to a tv station for live interview, henry morg

[applause] >> we have another question on the right side. >> thank you. the hispanic republican group from minnesota and want to congratulate of course senator cornyn a good friend for putting this together. here is a very important question we have to ask as republicans. we are months away from candidates to clearing they are running for discreet office and probably one of our most challenging elections in our lifetime. our lifetime with the deficits, with the liberal movements who can we count on with a list of candidates and we know who the list is to push immigration reform. i haven't heard it with many candidates around the country even this last congressional race, but this is important to us. you know who the candidates are. give your information and share with us can we get a

he attacked mrs. obama for eating short ribs during a visit to a restaurant in colorado. he says eating that shows the first lady is a hypocrite. she does not match up with the images of women on the "sports illustrated" swimsuit cover. >>> now, some sports in the apparent of long nba drama. it seems denver nuggets star carmelo anthony, will be traded today to the new york knicks. rumors of anthony's move has been swirling for month. now, it only needs league approval. as for college basketball, we get the highlights now from espn news. >> good morning. i'm don bell, with your espn news update. we start with top-25 hoops. kansas and number two jayhawks, taking on oklahoma state. tyshawn taylor suspended indefinitely for violating team r50u8s. later on, marcus morris, his twin brother, sticking the three. under 30 seconds to play. how about marcus morris, oh, get it out. a block on jared shaw. marcus morris, scoring 27 points. >>> to the big east, ibm boeheim and syracuse, taking on villanova. stokes, he scored 21 points. syracuse up by three. brandon triche, slicing throu

mr. biden also called for the ee listing of egypt's long-standing emergency laws. earlier the white house spokeman gibbs said they needed to cease reform. >> yesterday i think vice president seiuli man made particularly unhelpful comments about egypt not being ready for democracy, about not seeing a lift of the emergency law. i don't -- don't think that in any way squares with what those seeking greater opportunity and freedom think is a timetable for progress. >> robert gibbs and our washington correspondent andrea north joins me now. the political crisis in egypt really has caused a president bush forbe the obama administration. are we now last beginning to see a coherent policy? >> well, very difficult to know because the white house does seem to change positions several times. it does now though appear to be stepping up the pressure again after recent days being criticized in quite a few quarters for appearing to go soft on the muehr barrack government, in particular allowing presiden

. >> as people may know mr. buckley best, i was interested in your thoughts of perhaps reading christopher buckley's memoir, losing mum and pup, what was your reaction if you have read the book? is. >> well, i think that, that partly it was a beautifully-written thing, of course, as everything christopher does is. i think what roger just said does, does speak to that in part. so many of the things, you know, he's talking talking about their end-of-life problems. and those are the things that they had in common with everyone who, who lives -- who as bill put it, everyone who outlives his strength. so whether that, you know, was the best thing to have done, it was his, it was his choice, and as their son he had the right to do it. you could say that he should have dwelt on other things instead. >> it's very difficult being the son of a famous father. >> who were some of mr. buckley's inspirations in his youth, some people that you might be able to point out him growing up, and also, did he have an opinion on snowb

had the opportunity to debate with mr. nixon. i feel that i should reveal that i had a great advantage in that debate, and i'm not referring to anyone's makeup man. [applause] >> the advantage that i had had was that mr. nixon had just debated with kruschev and i debated with hubert humphrey and that gave me an edge. [laughter] >> how close did he come to defeating j.f.k.? >> the primary, i think he probably lost by 10% in the primary and the west virginia and wisconsin primaries. i think wisconsin might have been worse. he didn't really have a chance but that's another whole story. kennedy's campaign was pretty well financed and humphrey didn't have a lot of money and he was really kind of -- considered bought out, i would have to say. there's stories of people being handed $5 and all kinds of things that went on during that campaign he really didn't campaign he really didn't have much of a chance. he was expected to win in that state and why you'll hear i think that he was expected to win. it isn't so much that he went a

it seems to me, mr. speaker, that as we look at where it is that we're going, making sure that we have tax rates that encourage job creation, economic growth are important. that's due to the fact that japan has just reduced its top rate on job creators, the united states of america today has the highest tax rate on job creators of any country in the world. we have the highest tax rate of any country in the world when it comes to those businesses that are trying to create jobs. we continue to hear and decry the flight of jobs outside the united states to other parts of the world. people get into so many other issues. we need to look at our policies that encourage the flight of those jobs outside of the country and i will tell you that if ronald reagan were president of the united states, i have no doubt he would be championing the notion of reducing that top corporate tax rate and i have to say, mr. speaker, that i was very gratified. right behind me, just 10 days ago, president obama stood here and advoc
