i am the director of research at the massachusetts historical society, and if you are not familiar with us, we are the oldest historical society in the nation, we hold millions of manuscript objects, and collect material up to the president. we have material from everyday people, we like to say that we tell a global story to a massachusetts lens. if you are interested in learning more about the society, and all the programs we put on, including the other programs in the series, please visit our website. we have exhibits, we have academic seminars, we have public programs, made possible by our wonderful numbers and donors, if you're interested in supporting the, work please visit our website for more information. this series, the legacies of 16 19, it marks the 400th anniversary of the forced recorded landing of africans at an english colony in north america. we thought this would be a great opportunity to have a retrospective look at african american history over the course of 400 years. the first program, today, is titled recognition and resilience, and so all three panelist's will be

in massachusetts and across the country. we heard time and time again horror stories on children who are talking about vaping in the bathrooms at school with two short of breath to participate in our sports activities. children 11 and 12 years a old sweep these devices underneath the pillows because they are so addicted and their waking up in the middle of the i night to use them. we know that in t massachusetts, that 40 percent of high schoolers have tried these products and one in five, 20 percent are using them regularly. now were confronted with the emergence of the series vaping related lung disease. we are seeing this across the country. two weeks ago, exercise my authority as public health commissioner to mandate the physicians immediately began reportingmm any unexplained vapg associated pulmonary disease to us at the public health. we immediately started here about cases. we are now looking at 66 reported cases and already reported to the cbc confirmed cases and to possible ones. what this tells me that what i am af

massachusetts, it's hard to believe that massachusetts was a republican state at one time but it was. in the 1930s, massachusetts and connecticut were both republican states. massachusetts and connecticut received a grandtotal of zero money. so understood, $300 million is being spent for relief, and massachusetts, boston, all that, and connecticut get zero. and they weren't the only states to get zero. the bottom five states all got zero, and they tended to vote republican. and the top five states got over half the money. so you have $300 million. the top five states get over half the money. the bottom five states get zero. now, what this is in effect is not a welfare program or relief practice it's at redistribution program. we are redistributing wealth from republican states or states that are not in some way serviceable to franklin roosevelt, who states that are very influential and key in franklin roosevelt's economic or political career. hearry hop hari hopkins was a leader on the relief act, one the the fdr's people distribute the money and were careful to distribute the money t

the gentleman from massachusetts. madam speaker, let me just say briefly that this resolution provides better protections for the president than what presidents nixon and clinton received. just like under nixon and clinton in the judiciary committee, the president's counsel can submit additional testimony or evidence for the committee to consider. the president and his counsel can attempt all hearings and raise objections, they can question any witness. this going beyond nixon and clinton, this resolution allows the president's counsel to ask questions at the presentation of evidence. under our procedures, the ranking minority member of the judiciary committee and intelligence committee may issue subpoenas if authorized by a committee vote. these are the same subpoena powers that the ranking minority member was given during clinton and nixon. it allows for greater member participation than under past procedures including a robust process for the minority to propose witnesses and issue subpoenas if authorized by commit

after all our colleagues from massachusetts told an audience the senior senator from massachusetts we should get out of the middle east said the senior senator from massachusetts. almost all of the democratic colleagues refused to sign onto the mcconnell amendment that earned 70 votes earlier thishi year. but we cannot afford to dance around the critical question of the us presence in the syria and middle east without the primary politics. the senate needs to speak up we cannot effectively support partners on the ground without a military presence thinking we should withdraw from syria cannot criticize president trump today unless they go on the record to admit they changed their minds. so today along with chairman in half and rish and senator graha graham, i'm introducing a stronger resolution to focus on our strategic interest in the middle east a resolution acknowledges the vital role in kurdish and arab and syrian partners have played to root out and destroy the isys caliphate and then to escalate hostilitiesca in syria against the abandonment of our allies to urge president trump

in the 1930s massachusetts and connecticut were both republican. they received a grand total of zero dollars so $300 million is spent for relief and massachusetts and boston connecticut get zero. they were not the only states. the bottom five states all got zero. and they tended to vote republican. the top five states got over half the money. you have $300 million the top five states and over half the many in effect it's not a welfare or relief program that redistribution to redistribute wealth from republican states or states that are not serviceable to roosevelt, two states that are very influential and key in roosevelt's economic and political career. so we have harry hopkins who is one of the leaders of the relief act one of fdr's people in his administration helping to administer the money they would be careful to thosedi they thought politically where the most worthy. boston is caught in a bind and it is part of my research in the book i was trying to deal with how massachusetts was dealing with this. w it was constantly working to raise mone

the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, my colleague from texas talked about a lot of different subjects in his opening remarks. i have to say that i'm a little bit disappointed, more than a little bit. i'm disappointed and somewhat offended at the implication that this is not an important matter. let me remind him that 1.5 million armenians died at the hands of the ottoman empire and the meerging nation of turkey. let me remind him of the countless, hundreds of thousands of people had had -- who had to flee because of that oppression. let me also remind him it is not the official policy of the united states government. if it were, that map i showed you would have included us as a nation formally recognizing the armenian genocide. my friend may not think it is important, but as somebody who cares deeply about human rights, it is important that we respect historical accuracy and that we respect the truth. i don't know if the gentleman was in the rules committee last night when colleague from california

i think we ought to get out of the middle east, said the senior senator from massachusetts. and almost all of our democratic colleagues currently running for president refuse to sign on to the mcconnell amendment that earned 70 votes earlier this year. but we can't afford to dance around the critical question of u.s. presence in syria and the middle east for the sake of democratic presidential primary politics. the senate needs to speak up. we cannot effectively support our partners on the ground without a military presence. senators who thought we should withdraw from syria and afghanistan in february do not get to criticize president trump for withdrawing from syria today unless they go on the record, admit they changed their minds, and say it's too dangerous to quit. so today, along with chairman inhofe, chairman risch, senator graham, senator burris, i am introducing a stronger resolution that acknowledges hard truths and focuses on our strategic interests in the middle east. our resolution acknowledges the vital role that our kurdish and arab syrian partners have played
