The full soviet period but are predominantly about the 70s and early 80s. There is relatively little there about the stalin period. There are a few very interesting things, but much less about the stalin period than i had thought there might be. There is also a good deal less about the 50s and early 60s. As you move into the 60s, it increases, but particularly as in the the large majority of it deals with the 70s and early 80s. So you can find very important things there. Alexander vassiliev is another former kgb foreign Intelligence Officer. He was working on a project for the book that came out as haunted wood, which was coauthored he and the late Allen Weinstein coauthored. It came out i think in 1997 or 98. That book dealt with soviet espionage in the United States during the stalin era. And that book also was able to deal with only a very small portion of what vassiliev actually transcribed. He was allowed to work in a room where archivisted from the foreign intelligence archive b
Past national conventions. Saturday night at 8 00 eastern on cspan. House democrats joined Community Leaders and victims of gun violence for a late evening vigil thursday to show support for more comprehensive gun laws. This gathering outside the u. S. Capitol is just under two hours. [ cheering ] [ chanting ] no bill no break no bill no break what do we want . Internships. What do we want . Now. People over here. Now what do we want . Yeah. No bill no break [ cheering ] thank you very much for being here this evening. We have been observing a Critical Mass of people who are being offloaded here over to my left, your right. And well give them just a few more moments. To get here. But before we start this evenings program, i think it is fitting and proper as i bring forward for an invocation and hopefully an observance for the people of france who once again are experiencing the wrath of commented beings who are inflicting their notions upon unsuspecting people in such a way that it bri
Single qualified arabic speaking officer of a middle eastern background who can believe a believable muslim sharing his life, for christs sake, most case officers lived in the suburbs of virginia. We dont do that kind of thing. Right . Thats a great quote. Another quote this time from an active cia case officer, operations that include diarrhea as a way of life dont happen. While were on the subject i would add to this operations that include lack of toilet paper as a way of life dont happen either. Another thing that he says, im not sure i so much agree with that but interesting comment, we can discuss it that humint is characterized by risk adverse bureaucratic nature which mirrors the growing physical risk of american society. Interesting comment even though im skeptical about that one. And i would add to this, this is not gerechts point, this is my point, often because of that, because it is difficult for the older case officers to venture outside of safe western areas. Its difficu
Take this to the country and run on this and litigate this. We want to defend it so that if and when we win, we can do it. [ applause ] guess what . Guess what . Hillary clinton isnt going to do one of these things. Not going to do a darn thing. Shes against all of these things, these principles we believe in. This is a binary choice. It is either donald trump or Hillary Clinton. If youre not for donald trump and not voting and not showing up, youre helping Hillary Clinton. [ applause ] pretty much that clear. I want to close with this. I mentioned how texans really understand freedom, but i dont think you fully realized until a few years ago. Where my wife is it from, the north side of lake texoma, for decades and decades you could go hill billy catfishing with your own bare hands. Its an exhilarating sport. I encourage it. It wasnt legalized until two years, you can noodle catfish on both sides. Thank you for fully realizing your freedoms. Remember, we have to unify. Remember what th
