Is intended to indict the policies of the United States. President eisenhower answers the soviet attempt to put america itself on trial in the eyes of the world. Eisenhower the u2 to use and was on a reconnaissance mission. We were doing something in a modern world that is the only way we can find out any information on a closed society. A society that is constantly threatening us by their strengths, boasting about what they can do in the world. This is not putting the United States on trial whatsoever. If they want to say they are putting me on trial, do it.

What they are trying to say is they are condemning the United States in world opinion. I think they have no case whatsoever. The number of spies we have of subversionses that have been proved all over validity dnenies any whatsoever of this kind of charge. Captain balloonist kissinger jr.
Im going to read a statement which i typically dont do at these but i want to make sure you full will you understand fully understand what i have to say on the issue that i think is mostly on our minds this morning. Obviously, any foreign breach of our cybercurt measures is serving, and i strongly condemn any such efforts.

If you follow that chain of occupancy, you are looking at the development of southern california. The site is particularly important because it is where god descended from heaven, gave the laws to the people and is considered sacred. The map on the floor is designed to give you a good sense of the territoryrican overlaid by the first rancho, given under spanish rule. Many of the people who received land under spanish rule were former soldiers who had been in the expeditions exploring southern california. And that was true of manuel, who was the first here. When h
No, the green light, right . The classic green light. So anyway, im here to discuss one the critical questions, i think, of our times which is why the United States assumed the role of world defender after world war ii . The question of whether we must continue this role indefinitely. Now this conversation springs from my new book which i hope is available outside but also from an oped that i wrote for the New York Times last year with the title, come home america. This was subsequently the subject of a morning joe show on the same subject. In the essay, i observed that everybody talks about getting out of iraq and afghanistan but what about germany and japan . In essence what im trying to raise here is a very fund amentl question which is where do we go from here.
