the united nations? would he have been surprised in a choice for secretary general with intense discussion about whether the next sg would be a woman. i like to think he would have supported the notion. [applause] i wonder if he would have been surprised where the united nations found home. it did not have a home in 1945, floating for a couple of years in a few different locations. it really did not happen until the rockefellers put together a parcel of land in an area that was slaughterhouses and tenements and they offered it as a gift, if they would make a home there. united nations begin the home base -- became the home base to the legal commitment to this day. it will be the home and host city for the next 70 years. i think he would have been surprised about the role of regional groups, which was debated quite a bit. the african union had a different name, and so forth, with access to the united nations. it is a case that is helpful. if a regional group can solve this, all the better. this is where t

, we under took the establishment of a national world war i memorial in the nation's capital. and we brought that legislation we have been marching as rapidly as we can done that road. today to announce the select and design concept for the memorial. i will talk a bit more about that in a moment. the question is why a war memorial, why one now, wasn't the war 100 years ago, aren't those veterans gone? this is a fairly unique project. the memorials we had in korea and vietnam were all built with the strong leadership and support of veterans of those wars while those generations were still with us. before 1982, we did not think in terms of national war memorial's. washington of course abounds with circles, squares, and parks honoring military litter -- honoringrom -- military leaders from conflicts throughout our history. the focus is on the leaders, not the soldiers. there is in this country a proud tradition of local memorials from the civil war to world war i. those memorials are very much hidden in plain sight. people drive by on their daily business and pay little regard to
