time, either a novel about for ran to or the -- toronto or the american spirit or something in between. >> some great titles you're looking at. i'm familiar with several of them. what does its take to captivate your attention,or now to read a book with your very interests schedule. >> thought about that. when i go to browse in an online service to download either a book online or to listen to, i start with history. that's the category i first go to. just a fee weeks ago i fib inh. return mcmaster's book called dereliction of duty about vietnam and that's a timely book because hr mcmaster is now the national security adviser to the president. so, reading his book, which is an incredibly powerful analysis of the lyndon johnson administration, and the mistakes they made in vietnam, was very instructive. how die pick a book? i started with history generally and lice ton reviews, and then certain authors, david mccull lashing you can't go wrong, anything million, 1776, john adams, anything that he has written is going to be engaging and interesting and you're going to learn somethin

scooter, he's in toronto, the guy who is waving. the guy on the ipad is in prague and he can just go to toronto, log on, and then start to scoot around the office and good to call on people. he can come in here, be in the back of the room in the meet examination could come up to the microphone. a little kinky. but you know what i'm saying. so what we are shipping around the world is -- we want people's ideas for shipping this big bag of proto plasm. we were so surprised when this came out. we didn't get them until 12 weeks ago so we prepared the book, designed the book and had it all ready, digital ready copy, except the numbers and we wanted to work on the numbers until the last second before penguin ripped it out of our clutches because they'll never be right, the numbers. it's endless, and so when we got them we were like oh, my god, so surprised and had to recheck and this and you're sure and, yes, and everything was right. and it's so interesting because i had a friend at that time who i have knopp for -- known for years, she went to paris and said we're work -- she avoid are you a

american athletes competing at the games in toronto, canada this september. as a president often says there's no better representative of the united states and the first lady. he's very proud leading having her leave the team to support the athletes. the first lady is looking forward to her first solo international trip in her office is available to answer any questions. the vice president is overseas on a three country visits eastern europe. he spent the last few days in estonia attending meetings and participating in the nato enhanced board presidents mission or he recognizes sania is only five member nato states that means their defense spending obligation. earlier today the vice president second lady arrived in georgia attended a dinner hosted by the prime minister. as the vice president continues to strengthen our relationships with our friends and allies in europe, here at home the department of commerce and energy welcome new seven up partnership between american energy and the government of ukraine. ukraine stayed on power company will purchase american thermal coal ahead of t

inspiration they are going about to make sure that team will go to toronto and represent us as a nation is something i know when i speak for all members of this place, is nothing short of what is great about this nation. mr. speaker, we also spoke about australia hosting the invickitous games next year in sydney. and for those of us lucky enough to be there, and i know there were members from both sides of the house that were there when prince harry came over, to begin the count down for the games beginning in sydney. the prime minister was there and spoke eloquently following prince harry and thanked him for his initiative in starting the games and what it has led to in recognizing those defense members current and those veterans who will participate not only in toronto but in sydney. and can i say, mr. speaker, the competition for these spots is ferocious and is fierce. and i was lucky enough to have a go at the wheelchair rugby two weeks ago. and i can tell you they do not miss a round once they get on the sporting environment. every single one of those members who will repres

same thing to york. now york is toronto today. and, indeed, we had set some fires. so the british have not gotten over this. is john here? so there were these humiliating losses on land. but that's not where the war ended. andrew jackson won a great victory over the british at the battle of new orleans. it's been said that jackson's victory didn't mean anything since the treaty had already been signed. but to the contrary, it showed that united states could be as powerful on land as well as at sea. we're also showed that free speech could survive in wartime. despite being tried by americans who condemned the war and even talked of succession, madison never wavered in his commitment to free speech. he proved that a republic could defend itself and remain a republic still. perhaps the highest praise that madison received came from john adams who had not always admired virginia. madison's administration, adams wrote, acquired more glory and established more union than all three of his predecessors. washington, adams, and jefferson put together. what a wonderful compliment. i was thin

may be by myself -- that if we modeled ourselves after toronto and miami and had a county form of government, a regional government, our school system would be stronger. the economic forward progress in the community would be more widespread. you would already have a reasonable transportation system and social equity that we all know is required and that we strive for would be more present now. i am not an urban economist, i don't know the answer to that question, but i do know that it is worth asking. think about it -- we almost lost for the 27th time regional transportation because of old thinking associated with maintaining division. i remember as a youngster when i was working for coleman young. i was 23. i was his chief executive assistant in name. in truth, it was charlie williams. i would be giving the mayor my advice. he said you are barely old enough to be my grandson, shut up. [laughter] but i asked him one day, when we regionaling about water -- even when he was the mayor, it was something that was on the table. i asked why don't we just go for it? he said we won't have

soviet money behind the mass toronto tests you saw in the united states and western europe at the time. i know of no reason to believe that russia is not doing the exact same thing right now to try to stop the modernization of our nuclear triad. or to stop the deployment of advanced weapons systems to its periphery. it's simply what russia does. remember, russia is a country that now has a gdp barely or less than 10% of american gdp. gdp smaller than the size of california. smaller than texas. smaller than new york. smaller than italy, actually two-thirds the size of italy. smaller than the combined gdp of the five nordic countries, they have to find ways to achieve strategic advantage that is not going to depend on marshalling vast resources. and what they call active measure campaigns what we would call propaganda or covert influence is one of the ways that russia whether in the soviet era or putin era has long attempted to achieve that advantage by molding western opinion and dividing nato countries between themselves. >> why don't we open it up to the floor. since this is about our
