Galena. Later, he becomes one of the nine galena generals who served the union during the civil war. So its quite a remarkable family. Their relationship was very, very close, even with the war and the divisions and the fact that we have one brother, jasper faithfully serving as far as the initially a colonel in the 45th illinois regiment and then having the two brothers down here in texas firmly committed to the southern cause secession and then, of course, the civil war. Jasper edelman maltby was a true hero. We have letters from generals grant, logan and other Union Generals expressing their great esteem and respect for this individual who, during the battle of fort donaldson in 1863, he suffered from a tremendous injury in all too. And eventually, eventually recovered from this and was able to serve during the siege of vicksburg. And during that siege before the city was eventually taken, there was an attempt to build a tunnel, if you will, underneath the confederate fortification
And then you have a little more wiggle room using either side of that equation to be able to reach your revenue neutrality. Okay, bill. Senator. We, of course, did it revenue neutral. I think the times today probably might require some additional tax. But i believe thats something that the committee has to work out itself. If you really do thorough tax reform, what you find is at least we found that upper income americans will pay a higher percent. For example, we cut the rate from 50 to 28 and yet the top 5 paid a higher percent of the total tax revenue after that reduction than before. Well the u. S. Is one of five Major Economies operating on a worldwide tax system. Meaning it currently taxes the income of its companies wherever that income is earned. Even if its not in our country. Currently companies have profits they earn back to the u. S. But they face a tax of 35 minus foreign tax credits. Those would not pay this additional tax and keep earnings abroad, deferring the additiona
Ties. Binyamin netanyahu is in washington as a row raises over the upcoming address over u. S. Congress. Im m buenos aires, where hundreds dom show support for Cristina Fernandez de kirchner, and her last state of the nation address. What was planned as an opposition strength but in the end it became a memorial march for russian Opposition Leader Boris Nemtsov. Tens of thousands rallied on the streets of moscow in one of biggest demonstrations in protests against vladimir putin, four years ago. Rory challands reports. Reporter Boris Nemtsov hoped suns sundays rally would be a reenergizing of the opposition. Boris nemtsov was not here to do it. His murder arguably was a reason why they came. We came to protest because they killed a man, a man telling the truth. A man was killed for telling the truth. Translation i came because boris was killed and not only because of that because we need to fight. We cannot live like this. I look around and i want to shout. People, i love you. Reporter
Before i go any further, id like to ask you to silence your cell phones. Cspan easier to from tonight and if your phone should ring, your same would be recorded for all of america to see. Its also my pleasure to say that the museums Public Programs are made possible through a generous gift. Programs, about for all sorts of reasons. Some commemorate anniversaries others mark holidays. The impetus behind tonights program is something more pedestrian, and perhaps more profound, an airplane seat. Elana maryles sztokman was on a plane from new york to tel aviv last fall when an ultraorthodox fellow passenger delay to take off because he would not sit next to her. Her experience was especially jarring as she just that the two were discussing the place of women in Israeli Society. The two were focused on questions like who gets to sit where in israel today, both literally and figuratively speaking. And who was the power to make those sorts of decisions .

If you are planning to go to the park this afternoon, if you hold off taking one of these, they are in the back. We will get you some. Its on park row. My talk is referred to as black thursday, the battle for Sailors Creek. One of the Union Generals who was involved in the battle, he wrote in his book about the fighting 5 of the intelligent people of the united states, north or south ever heard of the battle of Sailors Creek. They dont know anything of its magnitude or importance. This is not strange. It was fought in virginia. This was three days before the surrender under general robert e lee. Events were happening so rapidly that no note was made of the battle. In the next few minutes, you will be part of that part of our nation. Just some point before we talk about the battle, there are three separate engagements referred to as the battles of Sailors Creek. As you enter the museum, it refers to it as battles. I mentioned the spelling difference. There were two branches, most of the
