Referring to the years leading up to World War Two in which the United States wrestled with issues of appeasement and isolationism, the president spoke of the necessity for resolution and courage to Americans already wary of a possibly lengthy involvement in the Persian Gulf. On the domestic front, President Bush promised to put the recession "behind us" and resume "the largest peacetime economic expansion in history." His speech touched on the Soviet occupation of Baltic states; however, he made it clear he did not want to forsake the working relationship the United States and the Soviet Union had achieved before the latest series of crises. Mr. Bush discussed health care initiatives, political initiatives including the elimination of political action committees, and a possible compromise in the capital gains cut. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/16070-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/16070-1 Tue, 29 Jan 1991 00:00:00 GMT Mr. Johnson's book, Sleepwalking Through History: America in the Reagan Years, talks about the 1980s as the most important years in the United States since World War II.

Mr. Johnson chronicles the significant events that occurred during the Reagan era, including the Iran hostage situation. He also describes the key figures of the era, such as Ivan Boesky, Oliver North and Jim Baker. According to Mr. Johnson, the way to understand the Reagan decade is by examining how America's economic status fell from that of a dominant world power to a struggling debtor nation. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/16899-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/16899-1 Tue, 29 Jan 1991 00:00:00 GMT President Clinton spoke about his book, [Between Hope and History: America's Challenges for the 21st Century].
