the two companies that started building the transcontinental railroad were the center pacific railroad company and the union pacific company that started in omaha, nebraska. there were also extensive railroad systems back further east. one of the problems the whole time was the companies were building before they got paid. they were almost always in debt, also worried about money. the other problem was resources. i mean, huge problem with resources. if you ever traveled across wyoming and nebraska, there's not a lot of wood. if you look underneath the rails, wooden ties had to be placed all along the route just for the railroad. you also would have to build buildings for water towers or just for the infrastructure of operating the railroad all across the country. another huge problem because of the civil war, they were in the civil war, was actually finding manpower to build the railroad. and the end of the civil war actually was a huge help for the railroad companies because you had all these veterans from the war looking for a way to provide for their lives and their livelihood and t

the southwest pacific. let me tell you the story that i think really emphasizes that. we have a situation where it is december 1943. conferences. george marshall and was about and the joint chiefs are in cairo. have simplyld well flown from cairo westward back to the united states. he does not. he decides to go to the other way and visit both macarthur in --.guinea and it is an interesting story about c 54rip will stop it is a that the man to becomes sutherland and macarthur's pilot, weldon dusty rhodes was his nickname. he is at the controls. the copilot was sicker than a dog on the caught the floor. the guy in the copilot seat is sutherland, macarthur's cut -- who is a good pilot. they are flying into pakistan and it is icy. lightning rushing all around. a big storm. they are checking the storm and all of a sudden lightning flashes and exposes these huge towering mountain rages on both side of the planes and they today look at the map. a french map. elevations are in meters. not feet. [laughter] better pu

in the pacific, they can never decide whether the main line of attack across the pacific will be douglas macarthur and the army in the southwest pacific or the others. but be that as it may, the directives are coming from the joint chiefs. but, i think macarthur, to his credit, is definitely a good soldier at heart. he is following orders and very effectively implementing those kinds of directives. as far as strategy, let's talk a little bit about island-hopping. that is another macarthur myth that he invented island hopping. a myth that he is the one who said we are going to circle and isolate the wall. the truth of the matter is that island hopping is something that we could even argue the japanese did their own form of island hopping when they leap over macarthur and 80,000 filipino troops and isolate them rather than engaging at the head so -- engaging head to head. somethingping is kincaid does in the allusions in 1943. this is a situation that by 1944, the joint chiefs made a decision they are not going to attack directly. they will basically isolated and send macarthur on his way

whole of the asia pacific. with the t.p.p., you are part of the game. and you are setting the rules well you have help to set norms and expectations which will cover many economies and one day others will be able to join you and if you ask whether the chinese will join the t.p.p., initially they looked at it very much askance, now they're looking at it quizzically. it's different. they're still skeptical but they are not hostile. they are trying to understand this what will it take? they're not ready yet but one day, i think, they are not averse to the idea of being part of this group. i think they believe you want to set high rules and make sure that the entrance fee is not too low, to put it mildly. but i don't think they rule out being part of the party. so i think there's -- well, if you call that setting the rules i think it's not a bad thing to do. ms. schwab: thank you very much. there are individuals with microphones out there for questions for prime minister lee. let me ask that you keep your questions

a ferry service connecting the islands in the pacific is not running. let's get more details on lion lionrock and how it's impacting the country from jonathan oh. >> hello, james. we are keeping an eye on the system. the story is not over as lionrock continues on. it has started to buck until terms of organization but it will continue to keep that momentum as it moves over the island of honshu and then continues into the continent portions of asia. during the day we saw wind gusts up to 112 kilometers per hour in iwate and miyagi prefectures. and then in the past 24 hours fukushima reporting 212.5 mi millimeters of rainfall. i want to give you perspective what it looks like from space. you may notice the real dark shadowing on the eastern periphery of this convection of clouds. this is indicating those intense storms that are still taking place as this system continues to move over the land area. as we go forward during the next 24 hours, the most critical time period when it comes to the rainfall will be in the next 12 to 18 hours. that's when we're go

i'll talk more about the pacific on wednesday. they are hoping for a route to the pacific. they're also hoping for new trading partners. they've heard rumors there may be elaborate civilizations on the pacific coast. they're thinking from what they heard from second and third and fourth-hand indian accounts, they think maybe japan or china might have outposts in the pacific northwest. maybe there's some kind of indian civilizations. what might give rise to that kind of places in stories farther to the east. anybody from british columbia or washington state? you do have in the northwest, we'll talk about this, big sophisticated indian towns in the pacific northwest with monumental architecture, big ocean going canoes, fantastic sculpture, living in really fantastic wealth. you just have to dip your hand in the water and you find salmon. you do have communities, you are talking about information traveling hundreds and hundreds of miles, could set up stories, i think, very sophisticated indians peoples or lead to resumers of other peoples in the northwest. so the french are ve

there was the northern pacific, there was the union pacific, there was the burlington northern. these railroads came up to the edges of the park at different times. the first one was the northern pacific. and they started using the images of the park to advertise coming on their railroad to come to the park, be picked up by coaches and taken to the hotels. and then from the hotels, you'd take a stagecoach ride around the park. these were five to seven-day tours. and they cost a whopping $55. the first ones that came out were these. this was one of the earlier ones. this is 1913. the ones that were really early were very generic. they didn't have a lot of photographic or visual appeal. it was just a brochure that said their timetables. this is the northern entrance. this shows how the northern pacific would view. it would give you some idea of what you were going to see. there's fishing cone. there's -- there's isa lake up at the divide going towards west thumb. and they would give you what their itinerary was, what you would see in the park. you can tell that they had very artis

the asia-pacific. it will add substance to america's rebalance which can not be just about the military or the seventh fleet. it will enable the u.s. and its trade partners to shape the norms of regional economic exchange by setting a high bar for future trade agreements whether asia-pacific or beyond and in pushing the tpp and bringing it about, or concluding the negotiations, the obama administration clearly understands that tpp's role in securing america's future, not just prosperity but its place in the world. we know this has been politically difficult. it's a very tough election year. american people are wary of u.s. global engagement and the economic uncertainty has led to concerns about jobs, worries about competition from overseas. these are all understandable, even valid concerns but we hope that all parties will focus on the longer term, bigger picture. because there are no winners, only losers with protectionism. economic development across the world will be blocked, less interdependence me

empire across the pacific. vision. asked her's it could have been any number of things. i don't want to get into many historical details but in 1818 as many of you know, the u.s. and british signed the occupation agreement for the northwest which meant either americans or british could be here even though the british had already by that time the time established themselves in this columbia basin region. it could have gone a lot of different ways and it could have been astoria. it could have been british or all-american. >> i wonder if you can go into astor to thejacob resupply to the heart of 1812 and the struggles they had to face. >> it was a terrible struggle. you can imagine it was 12,000 miles around from new york and vice versa. it takes a year to get the message either way. -- sorry, 25,000 miles. that was one of the big problems in astor's vision is the lack of communications. he tried very desperately to communicate, but he didn't know for two years that it had exploded. hunt eventually did arrive most

it shows that taiwan is astride some of the deepest waters in the pacific. china wants to base their ssp ends near the steep water. these other nuclear systems there. when you have taiwan, you divide the first island chain. taiwan, as i mentioned, is becoming more deeply concerned with pursuing a taiwan identity, taiwan's democratic culture is deepening, chinese communist party is increasingly threatened by this. the new theater commands are depicted here and show how china can very quickly globalize -- mobilize forces from four of these commands to form very quick joint operations against taiwan. military threats in taiwan have grown, and could increase dramatically in the coming decades. for example, the pentagon says the high estimate of short-range ballistic missiles pointed out taiwan is about 1200. that is counting the current missiles, the ds 15, one missile per missile carrier. the next generation srbm's that the pla has already developed allow for the carriage of two missiles, five missiles, or eight missiles. do the math, and it very clearly -- if

just climb the black hills, i bet we could have seen the pacific from the top. and that is not the case. unless can you jump really high. as they're moving around, the bow indians, as in bow and arrow, receive reports of raids by another group of indians who they call the snakes who are probably what we could call shshoney indians. they want to go back to the village and protect it frlt raiders. so the exploration has to be band ond as the bow indians go back to their home. at this time, all the indians have horses. this is fwoek decades later, a little further north. that time, the indians that they encount ver horses. one way that we know just to show you how cool life used to be, one way we know about the location of the exploration, is well, tugly this is great map as well, one reason, by the way, that these french guys are optimistic that maybe they can see the pacific from the black hills is because there are french views different than the views we have today. there some big sea in north america and this is the leading geographer if n. france who put toge

the pacific coast section. here is an expanse of 193 square miles of cold, crystal clear water and perched over a quarter high in the mountains. many of the motion picture celebrities from southern california have cottages along its shores and with the easy motoring distance of sacramento, and san francisco, it attracts many visitors. camp sites, particularly around rubikon point proper with its sandy beach are popular. the conservation core boys are doing much of their work in the forests cutting new trails and establishing additional camp sites. sometimes they find it necessary and a period of usefulness and are interfering with the development of the park as a whole. one of those not infrequent examples of eroded rock is a point of interest. it is called the balanced rock. not enough is known of the civilian conservation or conservation of civilians part of this unique nationwide recovery plan. more than a million young men and war veterans have been participants and few of them have failed to absorb benefit

yeah. >> pacific. >> they're still hoping there's going to be some passage to the pacific. some easy water route leading to the pacific. this seems far-fetched. jefferson in the first decade of the 19th century is still thinking lewis and clark might find a gentle plateau and then there will be this nice navigable river. what do they discover when they get west of the rockies? idaho which is just one range of mountains after another. the french don't know that so they're still hoping for a relatively easy way to get to the pacific. they are hoping for a route to the pacific. they're also hoping for new trading partners. they've heard rumors there may be elaborate civilizations on the pacific coast. from what they've heard from second and third and fourth hand indian accounts, they think japan or china may have outposts in the pacific northwest. maybe there's some kind of indian civilizations. what might give rise to that kind of story in places further to the east where the french might pick them up? anybody from british columbia or washington state? you do have in the nort

of the challenge and opportunity facing the asia-pacific region. i have said this many times before but it bears repeating especially during this unusual u.s. election. american leadership and commercial engagement in asia security,al to peace, and prosperity across the globe. the chamber is vigorously opposing any proposal that would see american influence in the region to other powers. we are leading proponents of the transpacific partnership, an effort we can't and won't give up on because of the stakes being just too high. we know how important the pacific region is to the united states and indeed, to the entire world. america has both strong, strategic, commercial interests in the asia-pacific. the u.s. has always looked to singapore to help us navigate this important area of the world. its wisdom and insights are invaluable to us. as is often the case, progress and bilateral commercial relationships are driven by the private sector. but not without great partners in government. the american business community has such a partnership in commerc
