It is really a great conference, something that really needed to be done in the country. I just said to a couple of people that the best memory is to write it down. And so, this important history, the people on this panel have been writing it down so that it will be preserved, not just for us, but for the next generation and the next generation. One german historian said that history always must be revised. It must always be rewritten, because even we in this generation cannot write the final part of the story. Because new resources are coming up, new interpretations, and consequently we must keep working at the same topics and subtopics until we get it, and until we get it right.

Its like, gee whiz, this kind of thats real linoleum on the floor, isnt it . I mean, this was not i mean, you go to you go to hyde park or you go to some of these other president ial homes and they are pretty modest. Even like calvin coolidges. You go to his house before hes president and its really modest. Its like you know, some place youd see in amsterdam or something. And afterwards he does have to move into a big place. Harry truman never moves into the big place and his circumstances are sufficiently modest that he is the guy that hes why we have president ial pensions. Up to that point we really dont have that and they may be independently wealthy like a Herbert Hoover or theyre able to have accomplished something more than truman did, very modest on the payroll his whole life, federal or local, county government. So truman is a modest guy. He might have been taking all these walks to save on gasoline, i dont know. Next . T ....
