New tests at Jesus's presumed tomb back traditional beliefs
AFP November 28, 2017
Jerusalem (AFP) - Scientific testing at what is believed to be Jesus's tomb dates material there to the fourth century, supporting traditional beliefs surrounding the site, an expert involved in the study said Tuesday.
The study offers no further evidence whether or not Jesus was actually buried at the site in Jerusalem, but was consistent with the historical belief that the Romans built a monument there some 300 years after his death.
It is the first time such testing has been carried out at the site, located at what is now the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and encased in an elaborate shrine, or edicule.
The tests on mortar at the site were done in connection with recent restoration work, which saw the cave where Jesus is believed to have been buried opened for the first time in centuries.
Antonia Moropoulou, chief scientific coordinator of the restoration works, said the testing was consistent with historical beliefs that the Romans built a monument at the presumed tomb during the era of Constantine the Great, circa 326.
"This is a very important finding because it confirms that it was, as historically evidenced, Constantine the Great responsible for cladding bedrock of the tomb of Christ with the marble slabs in the edicule," said Moropoulou, a specialist in preservation from the National Technical University of Athens.
The dating of the mortar shows historical continuity at the site, stretching through the Byzantine era, the Crusades, the Renaissance period and beyond, she said.
Tradition holds that Constantine had the monument to Jesus built on what was thought to be the site of his burial as he began the Roman empire's transition to Christianity in the fourth century AD.
Other monuments were built over it in later years.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre houses the shrine today, along with the nearby presumed site of Jesus's crucifixion -- the holiest sites in Christianity.
In March, the newly restored shrine surrounding the tomb was unveiled following months of delicate work.
A 19th-century edicule surrounds the tomb with an onion-shaped dome above.
In October 2016, perhaps the most dramatic moment in the renovation occurred when the cave thought to be the tomb of Jesus was opened for the first time in centuries.
The Greek Orthodox, Armenian and Roman Catholic denominations share custody of the church, but disputes between the three had led to renovations being delayed for decades.

Jesus's tomb unveiled after $4m restoration
Wednesday’s ceremony will mark completion of nine-month renovation of most sacred monument in Christianity
Harriet Sherwood Religion correspondent
Tuesday 21 March 2017 06.26 EDT
The restored tomb in which Jesus’s body is believed to have been interred after his crucifixion will be officially unveiled at a ceremony at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s Old City on Wednesday.
A team of Greek scientists and restorers has completed the nine-month renovation project, which focused on a small structure above the burial chamber, known as the Edicule. It is the most sacred monument in Christianity.
“If the intervention hadn’t happened now, there is a very great risk that there could have been a collapse,” Bonnie Burnham of the World Monuments Fund, which had oversight of the project, told Associated Press. “This is a complete transformation of the monument.”
The delicate restoration was carried out by a team of about 50 experts from the National Technical University of Athens, which had previously worked on the Acropolis in the Greek capital and the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. The conservators worked mainly at night in order to allow pilgrims continued access to the shrine.
In October, a marble slab covering the rock-carved tomb was lifted for the first time in more than two centuries, allowing restoration workers to examine the original rock shelf or “burial bed” on which Jesus’s body is thought to have rested. A small window has been cut into marble slabs to allow pilgrims a glimpse of the rock.
The team also repaired and stabilised the shrine with titanium bolts and mortar, and cleaned thick layers of candle soot and pigeon droppings. The work involved the use of radar, laser scanners and drones.
Wednesday’s ceremony to mark the completion of the restoration will be in the presence of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians, and a representative of Pope Francis.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in the heart of the Christian quarter of the walled Old City, covers the assumed site of Jesus’s crucifixion, burial and resurrection. It is a huge attraction for pilgrims and tourists from all over the world, many weeping and clutching precious mementos or photographs of loved ones and forming long queues for the shrine.
Six denominations – Latin (Roman Catholic), Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Syrian Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox and Copts – share custodianship of the cavernous church. Bitter disputes over territories and responsibilities have erupted in the past, sometimes involving physical altercations. Disputes between the denominations have held up restoration work for decades.
In a sign of the distrust between the different denominations, the keys to the church have been held by a Muslim family since the 12th century.
The shrine has been rebuilt four times in its history, most recently in 1810 after a fire. The structure had been held in place for almost 70 years by iron girders erected on the instructions of a British governor who ruled Palestine in the Mandate era. They have now been removed.
The $4m (£3.2m) cost of the restoration came from contributions from the six denominations which share custody of the church, King Abdullah of Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and Mica Ertegun, the widow of Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, who gave $1.3m.

Jesus’ restored tomb is unveiled, well in time for Easter
Wed., March 22, 2017, 11:24 a.m.
By Ruth Eglash
Washington Post
JERUSALEM – Renovations at Christianity’s holiest site – carried out over the past nine months – were finally unveiled Wednesday in a ceremony that brought together rival Christian denominations and ushered in a new era for pilgrims wanting to get closer to their savior.
And it’s all ready in time for Easter, which falls on April 16 this year.
Restoring the Holy Edicule, the chamber where Christians believe Jesus was buried and rose from the dead after his crucifixion, was no simple undertaking.
The shrine, which is thought to encase Jesus’ 2,000-year-old burial cave, stands at the heart of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a 12th-century edifice built atop 4th-century remains.
Control of the sprawling church is shared by six Christian denominations. The Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Armenian Orthodox churches are the primary custodians, while the Syrian, Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox churches, and even some secular entities, have lesser responsibilities.
It’s a complicated status quo, resting on various written agreements and unchanged for at least 150 years. And still, squabbles among the denominations as each attempts to assert its rights at the site are so frequent that they have acquired a physical symbol: an “immovable” wooden step ladder, in place since the 18th century, reminding each group that none may alter any part of the church without the consent of the others.
In the case of the Edicule, however, there was no choice. Renovations to the structure, built in 1810, were long overdue. Water damage had caused it to buckle, and it threatened to collapse under its own weight. Last year, Israel’s Antiquities Authority deemed the site unsafe and briefly closed the building, to much protest.
With approval from the pope and the head of the Eastern Orthodox Church, as well as donations from various entities and individuals to cover the nearly $4 million restoration, work finally began in June.
Greek conservationists set about methodically cleaning off the centuries of dust and candle wax built up by the hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world. They restored tile work and columns, stabilizing the structure with mortar and titanium bolts.
The team also carried out restoration work in the inner sanctum of the burial chamber and cut a small window to allow pilgrims to see the bare stone of the ancient cave.
Among the religious leaders and other dignitaries at the public unveiling of the renovated tomb Wednesday were Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, the spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians worldwide, as well as a senior representative of the Catholic Church sent by Pope Francis.

Walker's 'Family' of Greedy Spies
February 03, 1990 HOWARD ROSENBERG
We tend to romanticize spies and, even when they're the enemy, give them our grudging admiration for jeopardizing their lives for a cause.
This time, however, there is neither romance nor a cause. In "Family of Spies: The Walker Spy Ring," there is only greed.
There is also no one to admire in this two-part CBS drama (which airs at 9 p.m. Sunday and at 8 p.m. on Tuesday on Channels 2 and 8), no hero to delight in, no underdog to pull for, not even an embittered idealist to sympathize with.
What is here is an incredible whopper of a story--thanks to director Stephen Gyllenhaal, writer Richard DeLong, a fine cast and, yes, even John Anthony Walker Jr. himself, the evil, depraved, corrupting former Navy man whose espionage activities from 1968-85 have been called the most damaging in U.S. history. Without Walker, there would be no story.
Walker was a chief petty officer serving as communications watch officer on a submarine based in Charlestown, S.C., when he contacted the Soviet Embassy in Washington and arranged to sell his services as a spy. Thus began a 17-year odyssey of espionage, during which Walker--who retired from the Navy in 1976--recruited his son, Michael; his older brother, Arthur, and a friend, Jerry Whitworth, to help him feed secret codes and other highly classified information to the Soviets. He failed in his attempts to get his daughters to join the lucrative "family business."
The spy ring collapsed after Walker's former wife, Barbara, turned him in to the FBI, and all of its members are now in prison.
Based on two books--"Family of Spies: Inside the John Walker Spy Ring" by Pete Earley and "I Pledge Allegiance" by Howard Blum--the miniseries carries the following disclaimer: "Certain events and characters portrayed herein have been fictionalized." Those events and characters aren't identified, so believe "Family of Spies" at your own risk.
Without a doubt, though, it conforms to at least the broad outlines of the case, from which Gyllenhaal--who squanders no opportunity for suspense--crafts a gripping tale that gets especially good Tuesday night when Walker has split from both the Navy and Barbara and become a high-living entrepreneur of espionage.
There's a puzzling bit of business here concerning Whitworth's apparent attempt to betray Walker. What does it mean? And although part of the ring, Walker's brother appears so fleetingly that he's a conspirator almost in absentia.
Otherwise, "Family of Spies" is irresistibly good.
Powers Boothe is superb as the silky, master seducer, Walker--an utterly cold, cruel and soulless man who shrewdly charms and exploits the weaklings around him and is ready to sacrifice his children on behalf of his own self-serving ambitions. At first he seems indestructible, but as his mistrust of his Soviet bosses grows and fear sets in--at one point he feels the need to carry a cane with a hidden sword as protection--there's desperation in his eyes.
But the performance of the show--and perhaps the season--is Lesley Ann Warren's as Barbara, the saddest character here, a pitiful, self-destructive drunk who loves her kids but is too lost and fragile herself to help them. Warren is one of those actresses whose consistent good acting is often overlooked, and her work as Barbara just wipes you out.
Barbara's warnings to her children about getting involved with their father are ignored by Michael (well played by Andrew Lowery), shown here as completely manipulated by the elder Walker. More than anything, that's what "Family of Spies" is about--an amoral puppeteer and his puppets.

'FAMILY OF SPIES'
By Michael E. Hill February 4, 1990
LOS ANGELES -- When an actor assumes a role, he generally likes to find something nice about the part he's playing, even if the character is a villain.
Maybe it's because he will spend long hours in that role while filming. Possibly it's because he can work up more enthusiasm for playing a person he finds, somehow, likable. Maybe it's because he figures he'll be identified with the character, however briefly, and simply likes to be liked. And it could simply be a matter of getting to know a character: Surely even the darkest figure harbors at least a tinge of decency.
Consider, then, the dilemma of Powers Boothe: He had to play John Walker Jr. in "Family of Spies," a five-hour, two-night CBS miniseries (tonight at 9, Tuesday at 8).
Where do you look for the sunny side of Johnny Walker?
He was, after all, a spy. For some 18 years, he not only used his position as a Navy chief warrant officer to pass secret codes to the Russians, but he also recruited others to help carry on the work after he left the service.
But maybe he was a nice spy? Not really. He was, by the account of the miniseries, a carouser and womanizer. He was less than successful in a saloon business he had going on the side. In the miniseries, he displays the killer combination of contempt for women coupled with a certain oily charm.
Well, maybe he was nice at home to the wife and kids? Strike three. To his son, Walker openly referred to his wife and daughters -- the boy's mother and sisters -- as "the bitches." And when his wife confronted him over his espionage activities, he knocked her around. And, oh, yes, he tried to recruit the family into the spy game, succeeding with his son and brother. Nice guy.
"I could identify with the fact early on that he was distressed for money," said Boothe. "Any of us can sort of say we would do any number of things to feed our children. I'm not saying that that was totally his motivation, but it was something that I could key on and get going in the role."
In the end, of course, Walker largely corrupted and destroyed the family he was trying to feed. The only affirmative thing to be said about him seemed to boil down to a wry sarcasm. "What was that great statement he made?" pondered Boothe. "He said that he served his government very well and the Soviet government very well."
The story of John Walker Jr. is one of the singular spy stories in American history. By some Department of Defense accounts, Walker, who dealt in cryptographic codes, did lasting, if not permanent, damage to the balance of military power between the United States and the Soviet Union.
This week's miniseries begins in 1967, when Walker, having stolen a cryptographic punch card detailing secret codes, walked into the Soviet Embassy in Washington, put the card on the table and asked what it was worth.
Ultimately, according to various estimates, his information was worth up to $100,000 a year at times, or $1 million altogether -- a lot of money on the one hand, but chump change considering what he delivered.
In the '70s, Walker began moving into spy management, recruiting others to help gather information. His best friend, Jerry Whitworth, like Walker a Navy radioman, was among them. Ironically, when the Walker spy ring was broken, Whitworth received a stiffer sentence than his handler.
Walker also tried to enlist his family. His son, Michael, and brother, Arthur, took the bait.
Meanwhile, Walker's wife, Barbara, tried to raise four children and run the family-owned bar. And she was an alcoholic.
"Family of Spies" stars Boothe in the role of Walker and Lesley Ann Warren as Barbara. They gathered here recently to discuss the series at a press conference, along with the series' executive producer, Jennifer Alward, and the screenwriter, Richard DeLong Adams. The series is based on two books, Howard Blum's "I Pledge Allegiance ... " and "Family of Spies: Inside the John Walker Spy Ring" by Pete Earley, formerly of The Washington Post. In addition, the rights to 11 persons' stories were purchased, including Barbara Walker's.
Adams brought expertise of his own to his screen writing task. A former military intelligence officer for the United States Army 82nd Airborne Division, he maintains that by providing the Russians with the basis of U.S. cryptological technology, he gave the Soviets a military advantage that would serve them for a generation.
Generation is the operative word. For if Walker severely damaged his country's national security, he absolutely destroyed the integrity of his own family.
Boothe, who won an Emmy for his lead role in "Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones," plays Walker with matter-of-fact maliciousness, enthusing over his carousing and treating wife Barbara with growing disinterest, disdain -- and fear.
Walker said in an interview once that Barbara "was the only chink in his armor," Boothe recalled. "She was kind of a reminder of something he was in the past, and that she was the only thing that could expose him. Plus, she was on his case all the time later on."
Indeed, she was his Achilles heel. She was the person who suspected, or knew, of Walker's activities for years and, in this screenplay, flirted with informing on him long before she finally did. And she comes off as the drama's tragic figure.
"In this depiction, she begins as a kind of feisty, spunky, hope-filled young woman," said Warren. "And through the course of the piece she is emotionally abused, physically battered and ultimately becomes a raging alcoholic. And her life is pretty much, as I saw it, a downward spiral, a tragic one."
Warren's performance may very well gain her an Emmy nomination and, by her account, the Walker story exacted some emotional cost from the actress as well as her real-life character.
"I found it impossible to separate from her feelings and having to create them on a daily basis for 14 hours a day, five days a week for a couple of months, I found myself taking home all of those feelings of despair and shame and degradation," she said. "And it just became harder and harder to have my own identity intact. She was a totally isolated human being, emotionally and physically, except for her children. And so it became a part of my own way of working to become more and more isolated."
When the shooting was over, Warren recalled, she was thin and depressed. She went to an establishment in San Diego for rest and meditation. "It was very restorative," she said. "Catherine Oxenberg had been there. It took me five months to get back."
Warren's delicate features and huge eyes give her a look of real-life vulnerability. Even when the miniseries was completed, it still got to her. "I watched the screening," she recalled, "and went to my car and cried for 40 minutes.
"To do this work, I have to find a way to protect my inner self. If I did such a role again, I would have to do it differently."
Playing Barbara Walker did have a personal up-side. "I work with children from drug-addicted and alcohol-related homes," she said, "and I've been doing it for almost two years now, once a week. And it was personally for me a very important opportunity to illuminate the kind of devastation that goes on with the dysfunction of alcoholism. So that felt like a very valid reason to undertake this role."
Walker, arrested in 1985 at the Rockville (Md.) Ramada Inn, was sentenced to two life terms and 10 years in prison in 1986, to be served concurrently, in accord with a plea-bargain with the Justice Department. He is eligible for parole in 1995. His son, Michael, was given two 25-year terms and and three 10-year terms, also running concurrently. Whitworth, the only non-family member in the case, was given 365 years. John Walker testified at Whitworth's trial.
Meanwhile, Barbara Walker's situation is not a happy one. According to Alward, she's living on welfare in Rhode Island. "She hauls and loads Christmas trees on trucks at Christmas time," said Alward. "This is the only work she can get. She has a real bad back, and she works where she can ... She's a broken woman."

George W. Bush
XLIII President of the United States: 2001 - 2009
Remarks Announcing the Nomination of John G. Roberts, Jr., To Be Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
September 5, 2005
Morning. This summer I announced the nomination of Judge John Roberts to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. I chose Judge Roberts from among the most distinguished jurists and attorneys in the country because he possesses the intellect, experience, and temperament to be an outstanding member of our Nation's highest court.
For the past 2 months, Members of the United States Senate and the American people have learned about the career and character of Judge Roberts. They like what they see. He's a gentleman. He's a man of integrity and fairness. And throughout his life, he has inspired the respect and loyalty of others. John Roberts has built a record of excellence and achievement, and a reputation for good will and decency toward others.
In his extraordinary career, Judge Roberts has argued 39 cases before the Nation's highest court. When I nominated him to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, he was confirmed by unanimous consent. Both those who've worked with him and those who have faced him in the courtroom speak with admiration of his striking ability as a lawyer and his natural gifts as a leader. Judge Roberts has earned the Nation's confidence, and I'm pleased to announce that I will nominate him to serve as the 17th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The passing of Chief Justice William Rehnquist leaves the center chair empty just 4 weeks left before the Supreme Court reconvenes. It is in the interest of the Court and the country to have a Chief Justice on the bench on the first full day of the fall term. The Senate is well along in the process of considering Judge Roberts's qualifications. They know his record and his fidelity to the law. I'm confident that the Senate can complete hearings and confirm him as Chief Justice within a month. As a result of my decision to nominate Judge Roberts to be chief justice, I also have the responsibility to submit a new nominee to follow Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. I will do so in a timely manner.
Twenty-five years ago, John Roberts came to Washington as a clerk to Justice William Rehnquist. In his boss, the young law clerk found a role model, a professional mentor, and a friend for life. I'm certain that Chief Justice Rehnquist was hoping to welcome John Roberts as a colleague, and we're all sorry that day didn't come. Yet it's fitting that a great Chief Justice be followed in office by a person who shared his deep reverence for the Constitution, his profound respect for the Supreme Court, and his complete devotion to the cause of justice.
Congratulations.
NOTE: The President spoke at 8:01 a.m. in the Oval Office at the White House. The transcript released by the Office of the Press Secretary also included the remarks of Chief Justice-designate Roberts.

XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969
58 - Telegram to the Director, Office of Cost Reduction, National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
February 9, 1966
I WANT to take this opportunity to congratulate NASA and its participating contractors on the accomplishments of the NASA-Contractor Cost Reduction Program and to wish you a successful Seminar.
The continued strength of this country depends upon our ability to provide for national security, to meet our international obligations, and to pursue important endeavors here at home within budget limitations that will enable us to maintain a sound and healthy economy. This means that we must continue to look for better and less costly ways to do the job. I intend to continue to emphasize the necessity for efficiency and economy throughout the government and in concerns that are doing business or seeking to do business with the government.
NASA and its contractors have started a fine Cost Reduction Program. This program has already saved NASA $200 million. I am confident that your participation in this Seminar will stimulate further progress in this very important effort.
LYNDON B. JOHNSON
[Mr. Brooks C. Preacher, Director, Office of Cost Reduction, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, c/o NASA-Industry Cost Reduction Seminar, Ling-Temco-Vought Tower, Dallas, Tax. 75221]
Note: In a cost reduction report made public by the White House on February 15, Lawson B. Knott, Jr., Administrator of General Services, stated that the Federal Government had avoided $11.1 million in costs as a result of the President's directive of January 9, 1965, which placed a moratorium on purchases of new file cabinets and required a reduction in the purchase of office furniture and typewriters. The report pointed out that cost reduction had been achieved through use of rehabilitated and used equipment and by retiring records to low-cost storage space in Federal Records Centers (2 Weekly Comp. Pres. Docs., p. 221).

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Statement on Federal Audiovisual Aids and Publications
April 20, 1981
Today, I'm asking the heads of all Federal departments and agencies to impose an immediate moratorium on the production and procurement of new audiovisual aids and Government publications. The Federal Government is spending too much money on public relations, publicity, and advertising. Much of this waste consists of unnecessary and expensive films, magazines, and pamphlets.
I am keeping the pledge I made to this country to cut out wasteful spending by the Federal Government. While we have a duty to keep the citizens of this country accurately and fully informed about government programs and activities, we should not use this as a license to produce films, pamphlets, and magazines that do not truly serve the public interest.
Over the past few months, many of you have sent examples to us of publications and pamphlets, most of them unsolicited, that you felt were useless and a waste of the taxpayers' dollars. We are grateful for this contribution to our efforts to eliminate waste in this area. Additionally, some Federal agencies have already conducted their own reviews of public relations activity. Their investigations indicate that there is potential for significant savings from a review of this type in all our departments and agencies.
I am asking the heads of agencies and departments to impose a government-wide moratorium on these activities so that a comprehensive review of current and planned spending may be conducted. I am asking the head of each department and agency to develop specific plans to prevent abuses in the future. I have instructed the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to issue procedures and guidelines to carry out the directive, to assist agencies in developing plans, and to monitor the savings. I am requesting that all departments and agencies begin their reviews immediately and report their progress and plans no later than July 15, 1981.
During these difficult economic times, we cannot afford to waste time and money on activities that have limited benefit to the people of this country. Controlling spending on public relations, publicity, and advertising is an important contribution to our overall goal of cutting out waste in the Federal Government.

RIKER: We've finished our first sensor sweep of the Neutral Zone.
PICARD: Oh, fascinating. Twenty particles of space dust per cubic metre. Fifty-two ultra-violet radiation spikes and a class two comet. Well, this is certainly worthy of our attention.
RIKER: Captain, why are we out here chasing comets?
PICARD: Let's just say that Starfleet has every confidence in the Enterprise and her crew. They're just not sure about her Captain. They believe that a man who was once captured and assimilated by the Borg should not be put in a situation where he would face them again. To do so would introduce an unstable element to a critical situation
RIKER: That's ridiculous! Your experience of the Borg makes you the perfect man to lead this fight.
PICARD: Admiral Hayes disagrees.

XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969
412 - Memorandum on Inaugurating a Test Program To Reduce Hard-Core Unemployment
October 2, 1967
Memorandum for:
The Secretary of Defense
The Secretary of Commerce
The Secretary of Labor
The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
The Administrator of General Services Administration
The Director of Office of Economic Opportunity
The Administrator of Small Business Administration
We are launching today a major test program to mobilize the resources of private industry and the Federal Government to help find jobs and provide training for thousands of America's hard-core unemployed.
The heart of this new effort is to reach the forgotten and the neglected--those citizens handicapped by poor health, hampered by inadequate education, hindered by years of discrimination, and by-passed by conventional training programs.
To succeed in this venture will take more than promises or good intentions. It will require--on an unprecedented scale--the concerted action and involvement of the private sector, working closely with the Federal Government.
As we embark on this new course, let us be clear about what is involved: our purpose is not to hand out but to help up, to help provide every American the opportunity for a good job at a good wage.
Our goal is to replace the waste and failure of unemployment with the productivity of meaningful work.
We call upon private industry to join us in tackling one of America's most urgent domestic problems. I have no doubt that the private sector will respond. For we have witnessed in the past few months a remarkable series of events which attests to the dedication of American business in meeting the needs of the society in which it flourishes:
--On September 12, 1967, the insurance companies in this country agreed to commit St billion of their funds for investments in city core areas to improve housing conditions and to finance job creating enterprises. Some of these resources are already financing promising housing projects and insurance company executives and officials of this Administration are working together to develop other projects.
--A project has been launched to use surplus Federal lands to meet the housing needs of our cities in which the efforts of private developers will be the most important single element.
--A Committee, headed by Edgar F. Kaiser and composed of distinguished industrialists, bankers, labor leaders and specialists in urban affairs is examining every possible means of encouraging the development of a large-scale efficient construction and rehabilitation industry to reclaim the corroded core of the American city.
--Upon the recommendation of the Kaiser Committee we have begun the "Turnkey Plus" project to encourage private industry not only to develop and build, but also to manage public housing.
In this effort, we will again attempt to bring the great resources of the private sector to bear on a critical national problem. Through the great talents and energies of private industry, with full support from the Federal Government, we hope to:
--Bring new job training opportunities in existing plants to the hard core unemployed.
--Create new jobs and new training opportunities for the seriously disadvantaged in plants which will be established in or near areas of concentrated unemployment.
--Encourage new enterprises combining the resources of big and small businesses to provide jobs and job training opportunities for the disadvantaged.
To initiate this effort, the resources of the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Labor, Health, Education and Welfare, and Housing and Urban Development, the Office of Economic Opportunity, the General Services Administration and the Small Business Administration will be combined to provide maximum assistance and to minimize the added cost of those in private industry willing to assume responsibility for providing training and work opportunities for the seriously disadvantaged.
Initially, nearly $40 million from a wide variety of existing programs will be made available, as will millions of dollars worth of surplus Federal property and excess Federal equipment.
We will offer to private industry:
--A full spectrum of aid to assist them in recruiting, counseling, training, and providing health and other needed services to the disadvantaged.
--Aid which will enable them to experiment with new ways to overcome the transportation barriers now separating men and women from jobs.
--Surplus Federal land, technical assistance and funds to facilitate the construction of new plants in or near areas of concentrated unemployment.
--Excess Federal equipment to enable them to train more disadvantaged people.
--Assistance to joint enterprises combining the resources of big and small businesses to bring jobs and training opportunities to the disadvantaged.
I have asked the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Labor to direct this test program and insure that all available Federal resources are utilized. The Secretary of Commerce will designate a full-time Special Representative as the single point of contact for private employers participating in this project. The Special Representative will provide employers with one-stop service for the entire Federal Government and will make whatever arrangements are appropriate with the various Federal agencies for all forms of Federal assistance.
The Secretary of Labor will designate a full-time officer in the Manpower Administration to work with the Special Representative of the Secretary of Commerce in connection with the training and employment elements of these projects.
I have also asked the Secretaries of Defense, Health, Education and Welfare, and Housing and Urban Development, the Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, the Administrators of the General Services Administration and the Small Business Administration to assist the Secretaries of Commerce and Labor in this test program and to assign a single official in their agencies who will coordinate their efforts in support of this program.
Provision will be made for continuing liaison with local projects and for careful research and evaluation to crystallize field experience into guidelines for future action.
I have asked the Secretary of Commerce to invite corporations throughout the country to join this new effort to bring meaningful employment to disadvantaged citizens both in existing plants and, where feasible, in new locations near areas of concentrated unemployment.
I have directed each Department and Agency of this Government to give top priority to all phases of this important effort.

Gerald Ford
XXXVIII President of the United States: 1974 - 1977
145 - Toasts of the President and Prime Minister Dzemal Bijedic of Yugoslavia.
March 19, 1975
Mr. Prime Minister, distinguished guests:
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Washington and to this historic house. I understand that in your birthplace of Mostar in Yugoslavia, there is a famous stone bridge which has been standing for a very long time. I hope, Mr. Prime Minister, the relationship between Yugoslavia and the United States will be as long as the history of that famous bridge.
The foundation, Mr. Prime Minister, as you well know, is the cooperative relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of Yugoslavia. It was built more than a quarter of a century ago. As a matter of fact, I was in the Congress of the United States at the time that this new relationship began and developed and is now flourishing.
This relationship, Mr. Prime Minister, is anchored, as I see it, in a strong mutual interest in Yugoslavia's independence, its integrity, and its unity, as well as a mutual desire, Mr. Prime Minister, to maintain peace in Europe as well as in the rest of the world. I think it symbolizes the cooperation between two countries with entirely different social and political systems.
Like the bridge in Mostar, Mr. Prime Minister, the one between our nations and our peoples has withstood the test of time. It has facilitated an impressive growth in trade, in business, in scientific and cultural cooperation, as well as tourism.
While the currents sometimes passing, Mr. Prime Minister, beneath this bridge have ebbed and flowed, its basic structure has remained intact. The principles upon which it rests remain as sound today as two decades ago.
I look forward, Mr. Prime Minister, to the further strengthening of American-Yugoslav cooperation, and I know we are both aware that this will require a continuing commitment from both governments.
Bearing in mind our common interest in continued peace and security in the world, I think we must strive to eliminate misunderstandings and any narrow differences which sometimes, unfortunately, arise between us.
The history of this relationship indicates that we have made an excellent start. I am sure--it is my conviction that it will be successful in the future.
I raise my glass to your health, Mr. Prime Minister, and to the bridge between our two countries. May it continue to facilitate cooperation, understanding, and friendship between our two peoples.
Note: The President spoke at 2:12 p.m. in the State Dining Room at the White House.
Prime Minister Bijedic spoke in Serbo-Croatian. His remarks were translated by an interpreter as follows:
Mr. President, gentlemen:
Allow me to thank you for the words of welcome and friendship addressed to me and my associates. Our visit to the United States of America constitutes a further expression of mutual desire for the promotion of friendship and cooperation between our two countries, a friendship established upon longstanding tradition and alliance during two world wars.
Our visit to your country is taking place at the moment when you have started preparations for the Bicentennial of the United States, the anniversary of the day on which, as the result of the struggle of American people against colonialism and foreign domination, the Declaration of Independence was adopted.
Many years later, my country, too, went through the liberation, war, and revolution. I accentuate this because both of our peoples aspired toward the same objective--to live in freedom and independence, to freely determine their destiny and vigilantly guard it.
I shall call forth, Mr. President, another date in the history of the relations between our two countries. That is the year 1881, the year in which the first interstate agreement was concluded--the trade agreement between the United States of America and Serbia signed at Belgrade in October 1881, which is still in force.
Rare are today bilateral agreements which have stood a test of time. Our two countries have experienced together the most severe historic tests of this century, fighting as allies against the joint enemies.
Over the whole period following the Second World War, they have continually voiced their determination to promote all-round equitable cooperation and mutual relations, for their own benefit and in the broader interest.
Particularly important for the development of relations between Yugoslavia and the United States was the exchange of visits between the two Presidents in 1970 and 1971 and the visit of Secretary of State Dr. Kissinger to Belgrade a few months ago.
We are highly appreciative, Mr. President, of the message you have addressed to President Tito and in which you have clearly set forth the desire of the United States to continue the policy of good relations with Yugoslavia.
Likewise, we highly appreciate your acceptance of the invitation extended by President Tito to visit Yugoslavia in the course of this year.
We are confident that this confirms once again the preparedness of your Government and your own, Mr. President, for the continuation and promotion of mutual, friendly relations. We will welcome you in Yugoslavia as a dear guest.
I share, Mr. President, your view and that of your Government that relations between the United States and Yugoslavia have been' developing successfully, regardless of the differences of stances and views in respect to some international issues.
It is our sincere desire that these differences, wherever it is possible, be reduced through mutual efforts, more frequent contacts, mutual understanding and respect for the positions of the other side.
Yugoslavia, as an independent, socialist, and nonaligned country, has a constant interest in developing relations with the United States, based on principles of the respect for sovereignty, equality, and noninterference; that is, the principles that are outlined in the joint statement of the Presidents of Yugoslavia and the United States, signed at Washington in 1971.
Yugoslavia is particularly concerned that the solutions for the existing hotbeds of military conflicts, which at any moment may become sources of new and even more difficult large-scale international crises, be sought through negotiation and full respect for the Charter and resolutions of the United Nations, as well as through agreements reached between the parties concerned.
Mr. President, in expressing my thanks for the invitation extended to me to visit your beautiful country, the country of the people whose working energies and technological advances are admired throughout the world, I wish to emphasize our great satisfaction that we are coming here at a time when, in the relations between our two countries in many fields--particularly the economic, scientific, and cultural fields--a significant upward trend has been registered.
The trade between the two countries--and I mention this as an example--has increased by almost 60 percent in the course of 1 year. Significant banking and credit arrangements have been concluded. Joint ventures and the volume of industrial cooperation have been stepped up.
The same applies to the scientific and technological cooperation, the cooperation among universities, and the cultural exchange.
The celebration of the 200th anniversary of the United States, in respect of which preparations are in progress in Yugoslavia for participation in this historic jubilee, constitutes one more opportunity to display our constant concern for the continuation of our traditional cooperation and friendship with your country.
More than a million Americans of Yugoslav descent, loyal citizens of the United States, live here today. We feel proud that in the history of the United States, in its struggle for independence and the building up of its constitutionality, the names of many individuals of Yugoslav extraction have been inscribed, people who spared no effort and sacrificed their lives to contribute to the well-being of this country.
Allow me, esteemed Mr. President, to propose this toast to your health, to the health of your associates, for the progress and prosperity of the United States of America, for the strengthening and promotion of friendly relations and cooperation between our two countries, for peace and progress in the world, and for the same bridge that you have toasted for, which has already lived there for 410 years.

COCHRANE: Dollar signs! Money! I didn't build this ship to usher in a new era for humanity. You think I wanna go to the stars? I don't even like to fly. I take trains. I built this ship so that I could retire to some tropical island filled with ...naked women. That's Zefram Cochrane. That's his vision. This other guy you keep talking about. This historical figure. I never met him. I can't imagine I ever will.
RIKER: Someone once said 'Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make it's own judgements'.
COCHRANE: Rhetorical nonsense. Who said that?
RIKER: You did, ten years from now. ...You've got fifty-eight minutes, Doc.

Bridge over troubled waters
by Capt. Bente Ravn
First published in SFOR Informer #11, May 28, 1997
Mostar - The war in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) caused much pain and destruction. Many people lost family, friends, and homes and some cities became divided. One of the best known of these is Mostar, the largest city in Hercegovina with 109,000 inhabitants. In 1522 Mostar became the headquarters of the Ottoman administration of Hercegovina. Many military missions against Venetian cities were launched from the city, which came under Austrian control from 1878-1918, and then became part of Yugoslavia. Today it is a part of BiH.
According to a pre-war consensus, Mostar’s population consisted of 20 % Bosnian-Serbs, 40 % Bosniacs and 40 % Bosnian-Croats. There are practically no longer any Bosnian-Serbs in the city, they are living in the mountains south and east of the city. Bosniacs, make up 55 % of the city’s inhabitants live east of the river. Bosnian-Croats make up the remaining 45 %, and live on the west side of the Neretva.
Mostar has a story to tell. It is the story of the Old Bridge, an elegant single span arch built over the river Neretva by the Ottoman Turks. Mostar is an old city, established in the 15th century when a small settlement began to form around an old Roman wooden bridge over the Neretva river, but the name Mostar comes from the old white limestone bridge Stari Most (most means bridge, and stari means old - hence Mostar) which was finished in 1566 after nine years construction for the Ottoman emperor Sultan Sleiman the Magnificent.
On November 9, 1993, during bitter civil war in the city, the bridge was shelled by a Bosnian Croat tank from Mt. Hum. One of its last roles had been to allow Muslim defenders of the "left bank" cross the river and take supplies to their supporters and the population that had remained there. It withstood many centuries, but it could not survive this concentrated effort to demolish it. After several direct hits, this magnificent piece of history crashed into the waters below.
from the private journal of Kerry Burgess: 11/30/07 6:05 AM
I had an odd dream, last night I think, that I associate with that programmed roll the space shuttle stack makes just after lift off.
In the dream, though, I had jumped off a bridge and the water was a very long ways down. I was absolutely certain I would survive the fall though and I was thinking to myself that I needed to take a large gulp of air just before I hit the surface because I was going to go far below the surface. But I was also preparing myself to pull my legs up to my chest after I went under the surface so that I would not go as far below the surface than if my body remained in a shape similar to an arrow. There was also something about someone waterskiing nearby behind a jet ski. It seemed that water skiier said something to me but I don't know how that was possible because he was so far off.

From 7/23/1973 ( I passed the Multistate Bar Examination ) to 2/18/1978 ( I was competitor at first Ironman triathlon ) is: 1671 days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Triathlon
The Ironman World Triathlon Championship or Ironman Triathlon is an annual triathlon race, made famous by its grueling length, race conditions, and sports television coverage.
Held every Fall in the US city of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii the race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometre) ocean swim in Kailua-Kona Bay, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometre) bike ride across the Hawaiian lava desert to Hawi and back), and ending with a 26 7/32 mile (42.195 kilometre) marathon
The idea for the original Ironman Triathlon arose during the awards ceremony for the 1977 Oahu Perimeter Relay (a running race for 5-person teams). Among the participants were numerous representatives of both the Mid-Pacific Road Runners and the Waikiki Swim Club, whose members had long been debating which athletes were more fit, runners or swimmers.
to a local runner who was notorious for his demanding workouts, Collins said, "Whoever finishes first, we'll call him the Iron Man." Each of the racers had their own support crew to supply libations, nutrition, and encouragement during their long journey. Of the fifteen men to start off the in early morning on February 18th, 1978, twelve completed the race.
From 2/18/1978 ( the inaugural Ironman triathlon in Hawaii secretly includes my biological brother Thomas Reagan the United States Navy officer ) To 5/7/1992 ( the first launch of the United States space shuttle Endeavour orbiter vehicle mission STS-49 includes me Kerry Wayne Burgess the United States Marine Corps officer and United States STS-49 pilot astronaut and my 1st official United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration orbital flight of 4 overall ) is 5192 days

From 12/1/1984 ( the United States Navy warship USS Taylor FFG 50 commissioned into United States Navy battle force fleet active service - departing 11 February 1986 as Kerry Wayne Burgess the United States Navy Fire Controlman Petty Officer 3rd Class my first United States Navy fleet assignment beginning 19 December 1984 ) To 5/7/1992 is 2714 days

RIKER: Thank you. Please take that to Engineering.

WORF: Phaser upgrades are complete, Commander.
RIKER: Already?
WORF: And we have begun power supply calibration.
RIKER: You're just too damned efficient, Lieutenant.
WORF: Thank you, sir.
RIKER: Continue with the testing, Mister Worf. Here's the final schedule for the shore leave and for the personnel transfers. By the way, I'm looking forward to meeting your parents.
WORF: Sir?
RIKER: They're on the visitors' list. You didn't know?
WORF: No, sir. It is inappropriate for a Klingon to receive family while on duty. As humans, my parents do not understand.
RIKER: Well, I'm not sure that I would either, Worf, since this isn't a Klingon ship. If you don't want to see your parents, that's your business, but we don't get to Earth all that often. I'm sure we can arrange for you to have more off duty time while they're here.
WORF: No, sir. That will not be necessary.
RIKER: Dismissed. Mister Worf, if you're worried that they might learn about what happened on the Klingon planet
WORF: Not at all. I have already informed them by correspondence of my discommendation. I do not believe any human can truly understand my dishonour.

WORF: They still have not signalled?
O'BRIEN: No sir.
WORF: My mother is never on time. It is so human of her.
O'BRIEN: Well, you know women.
WORF: I am not looking forward to this. I wish they would come so it would begin and end sooner.
O'BRIEN: I know what you mean, Lieutenant.
WORF: Unlikely.
O'BRIEN: Last time my old man was on board I found him chasing Nurse Stanton around a biobed in Sickbay.
WORF: I am not concerned about my father chasing nurses.
O'BRIEN: Yeah, but it's always something with parents, isn't it.

SERGEY: Always good to meet another Chief Petty Officer. Sergey Rozhenko, formerly of the USS Intrepid.
(shakes hands)
O'BRIEN: Miles Edward O'Brien, sir. Good to meet you.
SERGEY: Don't call me sir. I used to work for a living.
HELENA: He's joking. The proudest day of his life was when Worf earned his commission.
SERGEY: Can you imagine an old enlisted man like me raising a boy to be an officer?
HELENA: Come on, Sergey. There's plenty of time to chat with the boys. Your father has been so looking forward to this.
SERGEY: Yes, I want to see everything. The whole ship. At home I have all the specs and diagrams of the Galaxy-class starships.
