240 years after the birth of our nation in this city, 96 years after american women first got the right to vote, Hillary Rodham clinton has become the first nominee for president. Here was the moment, just hours ago, when her defeated foe, Bernie Sanders, made it happen. I move that all votes, all votes cast by delegates be reflected in the official record and i move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for president of the United States. Some emotion there from sanders. Then this. All in favor of the motion, say aye. Aye opposed, no. The ayes have it and the crowd went wild. Cecilia vega, you were on the floor for that moment of history that brought unity to this hall. George, electrifying is the only way to describe what happened down here today.

Centinary. We felt it had to be in the Kennedy Center this living memorial to president kennedy. But there are reasons why i absolutely wanted to be here this evening and just let me quickly share with you first it a few of them. First, it is our tremendous sense of gratitude to and respect for senator edward kennedy. He was, of course, as we know, the lion of the senate but he was a lion in terms of u. S. Irish relationships, i think we all know that. He was there always to understand and explain and advocate the irish interests and to work for peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland. I was very proud to be there in march of last year at the opening of the institute. It was such a moving moment and i loved seeing the recreation of the study. It has an irish flag and signpost and many other signs of his affection for ireland. The second reason is that we are tremendous supporters of and believers in the mission of the institute.

So as we unfold here today and evolve through this process let me say on the outside that usually when i am on some show, i am sitting in your chair. Today im asking the question so bear with me as we unravel this or peel this onion. As i went through the book i saw so many interesting things about how we get to a better chemistry. How we get get to a better civility. How do we get things done in washington. So let me ask you on the outset, why write the book . Thats a great question. I think we write the book in part because we love the institution and we want to see it continue to thrive and progress and be what it can be and what our Founding Fathers envisioned for it. But that takes work and leadership, takes adjustment. I worry today that because of the dysfunction, we are at a crisis point. We are going to have to take some corrective action to bring it back. This institution is only as good as the people who sir. I think sometimes we take it for granted. We have to remind the Am
