Homosexuals were easily blackmailed to be spies or become comrades or communists. For fear that we would somehow be exposed. So, all of that in the 1950s and 60s, two of long and bitter struggle to become almost firstclass american citizens today. The story of this change in the hearts and minds of america played itself out over about 65 years. To tell the story i interviewed more than 150 people. I went to archives over the country. I i finally ended up using about 20 archives. What i wanted to do here, i wanted to present the historical back. I wanted to present figures, but even more than that i wanted to look at the individuals who created those facts. The individuals who are behind the figures. To give you an example of the kind of thing i do, and, i discuss how in the 1950s homosexuals and all of us were called home a strolls whether we are lesbian, gay, or transgender or those who call themselves queer today. We are all considered mentally ill. I then zoom in on a story of a wom
Its not a complete process. The reality is is when she published those guidelines those of the guidelines and theres no avenue for the public to have input on that and i think thats troubling. I would disagree in the sense therethere is already been sevl places where they have input and they can continue to have input. They continue to respond to the 2010 guidelines, which are part of the foundation and the information we take into consideration. So its an ongoing education process. I dont think it ever stops. That may not be a formalized period of time but it never stops. The gentlemans time has expired. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thanks to the witnesses were testifying today. A few questions to the comp might after all this discussion weve had. The first one that i have is that when i look at data on the students that are overweight or obese, have we had any evidence that, which direction the weight has gone . First to ms. Burwell. Do we have any education on whether this program is re
To defend them and endorse a way of proceeding with the criminal justice they would not in any other circumstance. Fortunately i think that is changing so there is disagreement but libertarians are awaiting that argument. Host what do the colleagues that National Review think of your writing . Guest National Review is a very intellectually diverse place. Kevin williamson and myself are more libertarian, rich is more conservative, in this book i hope to present both argument. Is not a political book. I am not rude to anyone, is respectful of all views. It is a National Review idea. There should be something in it for everyone. Host c w cook is the author, here is the book. Conservatarian manifesto. This is booktv on cspan2. Next on booktv Lillian Faderman talks about a courtesan personal stories behind the gayrights movement. My new book is about how all lesbians and gay men and transgendered people got to where we are today. It is a remarkable story. We have gone from the 1916s when we
I feel very, very good that the systemic shortfalls and challenges we faced at the time of 9 11 have been addressed successfully. I will say going forward, though, as we look to the kind of information were dealing with in todays terrorism environment, the challenges are still there. They are still in ways growing. My analysts at nctc who come from across the Intelligence Community from every intense Community Partner contributes personnel to nctc. The design of reform but increasingly we are finding that relevant information exists in the nonclassified world. In the open source world. In the world of social media. So the next great leap for nctc, indeed i would a argue for the National Security community will be finding new and powerful ways to leverage access to open source information, information that is out there for anybody to look at, but out in such volume that looking at it in tpre of analysis and rigor you will want is a challenge. One of the things that happened just this we
Existed actually like a small subcommission of washington, d. C. It was a separate city. The 911 calls and all of that intelligence that was related to those 911 calls werent passed on the the city wide 911 call center. So that was a gap we had to expose. The First Responders that were responding were not getting the information that your call takers were receiving through the base communications so thats something we worked on and i think thats something that we should take from here and if you command a base thats something you should look at in your procedures. Emergency call takers should train together. Your Police Forces on your bases should train together. We currently train with ndw, with fort mcnair on an annual basis so that were familiar with each others tactics, procedures and how we respond. Additionally, when we responded to the navy yard, since that was a separate environment, the navy yard went on lockdown, thats one procedure we sat down with the base commander, sat do
