Susan Harold Holzers is our second hour about your new book the president s versus press. While i invite people to find the first hour, for those who havent seen it, whats that the jist of your new book . Mr. Holzer the thesis is we may believe we are living through the most chaotic and unpleasant confrontational era ever between a president and the media. But in fact, its a long tradition in American Government and American Media history that president s and the press do not share the same interests and have been out war, and a sense, ever since george washington. Susan from the time you started this project, was it always it versus the press . Mr. Holzer im glad you asked. No. Originally it was the president s and the press. In my research about president kennedy, i found that he gave a very defensive speech in 1961 for the American Publishers Association in new york city.

Supporting him comprised of the silent majority. We want to look into that term, silent majority and say it is a label that is brought world tension to those americans who are not so demonstrative.

These demonstrators were given permission to carry their protest through the heart of protest through the heart of the city and within sight of the white house.

Demonstrations here still attract audiences, even though protests and tickets have been and continue to be a common sight in washington.

Has recently been the source of intense interest by the media and a curious general public. In recent years, numerous books, magazine articles, television programs, madefortv movie, ufo museums, fraudulent documents and even an alien autopsy film have emerged to exploit the media fascination with the roswell incident. The story has even gained international attention. Despite the vested interest and questionable credibility of all sources involved in generating the media hype, the u. S. Air force is routinely accused of concealing a deep dark secret from the American People. In early 1994, new mexico congressman Stephen Schiff requested a records review. The purpose of the review was to determine if the u. S. Air force or any other u. S. Government agency possessed information on an alleged crash near roswell, new mexico in july 1947 of an extraterrestrial vehicle and its alien crew. In response to the probe, the secretary of the air force directed a comprehensive search for records. T
Sources involved in generating the media hype, the u. S. Air force is routinely accused of concealing a deep, dark secret from the American People. In early 1994, new mexico congressman Stephen Schiff requested the General Accounting Office begin a records review. The purpose of the review was to determine if the u. S. Air force or any other u. S. Government agency possessed information on an alleged crash near roswell, new mexico in july 1947 of an extraterrestrial vehicle and its alien crew. In response to the gao probe, the secretary of the air force directed a comprehensive search for records. The objective of the search was to tell the congress and the American People what the air force knew about the 1947 roswell claims. If the information was still classified, it was to be declassified. If active or former air force officials had signed nondisclosure agreements, they were to be released from these agreements. The resulting 800page report was completed in july 1994. The report co
