I just want to salute you and your public work in uniform, military uniform as well as civilian clothes. I heard you say you were committed to protecting whistleblowers. I was wondering what your definition was. Im thinking of edward snowden. My dear brothers and sisters, chelsea manning, my dear brother jeffrey sterling. Two in jail, one outside of the country. Would you define them as whistleblowers or in a different way . Dr. West i put you on the spot too much. Very penetrating question. I appreciate your reflections.

So im going to tell some stories, and you oregonians may know some of the stories, and you may not know others. But ill start with how i came to this story. And, actually, whats surprising about it is how this story was very well known in its day.

And those events have been largely forgotten in the american consciousness. I think you in oregon know a little bit more about them or im sure some of you know a lot more about them. But in the national consciousness, theyre largely forgotten, except among historians and people who really follow western history. So it is a really important story. Its historically significant, and its a great adventure story. And thats partly what attracted me to it. And its also a story that i feel needs to be told because those events have had a big impact on the sha
