Good afternoon. Im Karen Greenberg and im the director of the center on National Security at fordham law school.

One thing i want to point out is each day the Soufan Center publishes a soufan brief which is something you should read every day. It is a wonderful deep dive into a timely issue that goes to the heart of what we should be thinking about even if its not in the headlines. An
Census, no president has ever tried to manipulate the census count in this way. In fact, just two years ago, the Census Bureau reaffirmed its commitment to do the exact opposite of what the president is now trying to do. The bureau committed to counting every person, regardless of citizenship or legal status, under the rules of congress set in the census act of 1790. The president s decision to release this illegal memo, now appears designed to inflict maximum damage to the accuracy of the ongoing 2020 census. In just two weeks, the Census Bureau will start visiting the homes of millions of people who have not, yet, responded to the census. The president s latest attack on immigrants could sow fear and confusion in communities across the country. And could lead many people to decide not to participate. This will hurt communities that are already undercounted, underrepresented, and underfunded. Addressing the chaos caused by the president s memo will drain valuable resources from the Ce
In the history of the census, no president has ever tried to manipulate the census count in this way. And to do the exact opposite of what the president is now trying to do.

Addressing the chaos caused by the president to know well drained of eligible resources from the Census Bureau which is already struggling to administer in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic.

Was about 45 minutes. Thank you, kelly, and want to thank the Veterans Affairs Medical Center here in cincinnati and the allwomens American Legion post 644 for making it possible for me to be here today. And i want to make a special thank you to booktv for helping us spread the word about the longburied treasure of americas military women. This program has given us an opportunity to tell you about a National Treasure which has been all but completely absent with leave from americas historical memory. Even when United States history was required as a summit in high school and subject in the high school and colleges and many universities, textbooks and courses had very little to say about women, how they had contributed to the winning of world war i, world war ii, the wars in korea and vietnam. As a writing team of a nurse and a psychologist, coauthor dr. Evelyn monahan, we have a combined 50 years of experience with the department of Veterans Affairs. Now, you may be as surprised as we
