hat a tremendous privilege tohave the Truman Library just a

stone’s throw from Kansas City. People from allover the world come to experience the museum,explore the archives, and to honor PresidentTruman’s courageous leadership. In addition, TheWhite House Decision Center offers an interactive

experience like no other, challenging participants to take on the roles of Truman andhis advisers and wrestle with the major decisions of the Truman era. Outreachprograms like this, world-class exhibitions, and extraordinary public forums helpstudents and adults, alike, better understand our democracy.

hat a pleasure it is to be back here[at the Truman Library], and what a lot

I learned in the 10 years that I workedhere.… I want to talk today about presidential

libraries, but I really want to talk mainly abouteducation. The legacies of Harry Truman are manifold, and it would takeanother shelf of books the size of my own biography of Mr. Truman toadequately measure all that. He himself was a great student of history,which is extremely important to understand if one wants to understand him. And heunderstood one of the manifold lessons of history: that you have to wait a while to passjudgment. You have to wait for the dust to settle. He said it took 50 years before youcould fairly estimate, judge, appraise the performance of a president or anyone else.

And so it’s now been 50 years, and here we are. The 50 years during which thisinstitution has held its doors open have been everything that Mr. Truman could havehoped for. And that day, July 6, 1957, was for him one of the great days of his life, ashe said.… It was a big occasion, as it should have been. The guests included formerPresident Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Speaker Sam Rayburn from Texas, four sittingsenators, nine governors, Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren, and DeanAcheson, his former secretary of state. Truman was very excited. In the days justbefore, he wrote to Acheson, “I’ll be knee deep in big shots.” And Earl Warren, whowas the keynote speaker, said quite rightly that the Library itself was a milestone inAmerican history. It was the first presidential library to be developed while thepresident was still alive.…

The presidential library system is very much in the news and very much a subjectof serious controversy. Just the day before yesterday in New York, a friend of minesaid, “Hasn’t this presidential library thing gotten out of hand; why do we need all ofthese presidential libraries all over the country? Why can’t they all be in Washingtonunder one roof?”

Well, I would like to answer that question in a public way. The presidential librarysystem works, and it works in many ways that ought to be clearly understood. Part ofthe value of coming to a presidential library is that you come to the place…that helpedcreate that person. When I first told my editors I wanted to write about Harry Truman, Isaid I wanted to write about a very different kind of America and a very different kindof American from the Roosevelts…. I wanted to come to Independence. I wanted to behere, stay here, soak it up.…

Now, Harry Truman put Jackson County on the map, and this Library keeps it on themap. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that this Library is a national treasure.… Don’t everthink our presidential libraries aren’t worth everything that has been put into them, andthen some, and the fact that they are spreading out to so many different locales in the

country is wonderful. It’s bringing history out into every part of our nation, and that is veryimportant for the education of our children and our grandchildren.

I [recently] finished up a talk on a college campus in California, and it came time forthe question-and-answer session, and I was asked, “Aside from Harry Truman andJohn Adams, how many other presidents have you interviewed?” Well, appearancesnot withstanding, I never knew Mr. Truman, and I never knew Mr. Adams. I did seeHarry Truman once. It was in 1956, and I had just started my first job in New York, andmy wife, Rosalee, and I had moved into our first apartment together in BrooklynHeights, and we were starry eyed about being in New York and having a job and theexcitement all around us. And one night coming home, coming up out of the subwaystation near our apartment, which was in the basement of the old St. George Hotel inBrooklyn, there was a little crowd gathered, and I asked what was going on, and theysaid the Governor’s coming, Averell Harriman. Well, I had never seen a governor beforein my life, so I waited and, sure enough, up came a big car, and out of the back seatstepped Averell Harriman looking very tall and very handsome. And then right behindhim came former President Truman, and he was right there, right beside me…. And hedidn’t look like a little fellow from Missouri to me at all, he looked like a giant.

Harry Truman was exactly the kind of man to rise in public service as the foundersdreamed of. Not a creature ofprivilege and wealth, not the

creation of the media, notfalse, not self-serving,but a farmer’s son who

had had the blessing of education ina free society where we are free to

think for ourselves. Tillie Brown [Truman’s English teacher]…kept some of the composition books, or the

composition books have survived from his time with her…. Here’s some of what[Truman] wrote, “The virtue I call courage is not in always facing of the foe but in takingcare of those at home. A true heart, a strong mind, and a great deal of courage, and Ithink a man will get through the world.” Notice, he puts heart ahead of mind. ArdeliaHardin, the Latin teacher, said later that it was the boy’s steadfastness that mostimpressed his teachers at that age.…

A recent study done by the Council of the American Alumni in Washington, a non-profitorganization, revealed that the level of understanding of American history among collegestudents in the top 50 universities and colleges in the country is below what it used to bein high school 25 years ago. Question 19, “Who was the commanding American generalat the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown?” Most of them said it was Ulysses S. Grant;Washington did come in second, Douglas MacArthur came in third. I wonder whatTruman would have made of that.

We’ve got to make some changes. Very quickly, we’ve got to help the teachers more.We’ve got to help the aspiring teachers more by giving them the right kind of education.We’ve got to stop graduating young people with degrees in education and no major in areal subject because you can’t teach a subject you don’t know very effectively, becausenot knowing it makes it more difficult, to be sure, but also because you can’t lovesomething you don’t know any more than you can love someone you don’t know.…

Truman never, ever lost faith in education. Neither should we. ■

“It isn’t an exaggeration

to say that this library

is a national treasure.”

arry Truman was a hero to me from the time Iwas old enough to look at politics. What I knewabout Truman I knew from the stories of myfamily…who identified with Truman becausehe came from such modest circumstances

and…because he was for civil rights…andbecause he wasn’t embarrassed to be bookish.

But what I want to say today, on this 50th anniversary of the Library, is that theenduring legacy of Harry Truman is highly relevant to 21st-century America….

The benefits of the world are evident. Most of us have benefited from education, frominformation technology. Look how much more diverse this crowd is today than it was 50years ago, when the Library was dedicated.

But the world has three huge problems. It is unequal, and growing increasingly so. Itis unstable because of terror and the prospect of global-disease threats and weapons ofmass destruction, and it is unsustainable because of the threat of climate change andresource depletion….

So what’s all that got to do with Truman? Well, I believe that we can only build a[better world by doing] the following four things.

First, we have to have a security policy that recognizes … it will never be possible tokill, jail, or occupy everybody that’s against us, because we live in an interdependentworld.

Now, if that’s true, it means, both in military and non-military ways, our policy shouldbe to cooperate with others whenever we can and act alone only when there isabsolutely no other alternative.

That was Truman’s policy at the end of World War II. The United Nations was thedream of Franklin Roosevelt, but Harry Truman oversaw its beginning and supported itcompletely. NATO was a cooperative alliance designed to counter the threat ofcommunism. The Truman Doctrine held that we would support anyone with militaryassistance if they would stand against communism. It didn’t matter if they were somelittle country on the far reaches of the Cold War’s long divide. We knew we had to do ittogether. I think if Harry Truman were here today, he would remind us of these things….

The second thing I think Truman would say is that, in any environment where youcan’t kill, jail, or occupy everyone who is or might be against you, you have to try tomake a world with more partners and fewer enemies. Don’t forget, that’s what [he] didwith the Marshall Plan, and it was the best money America ever spent.

I think if you look at the diplomatic successes of the United States in the last six

years, arguably the most successful military operation we have conducted in aMuslim country, except for what was done in Afghanistan after 9/11, was thehumanitarian relief in Indonesia, the world’s biggest Muslim country, after thetsunami. Approval of the United States went from 30 to 60 percent because ourhelicopters dropped food and medicine and our government workers were therehelping put people’s lives back together…. And interestingly enough, after thetsunami, approval of Osama bin Laden dropped from 58 to 28 percent; not becausehe did anything to them, but because he didn’t do anything for them….

The third thing I think we should remember about Truman’s legacy is that … hecould have been forgiven if he had abandoned domestic issues, except how do youconvert from a war to a peacetime economy without having it collapse? He had todeal with that. But he didn’t forget. He kept pushing civil rights. He not only endeddiscrimination in the military, he ended it in federal employment generally, which wasquite significant at the time…. And he did try to do healthcare because he realizedthat it was both socially unjust and in the end would be economically stupid. And hewas sure right about both.

So I would say to all of us, no matter how much we worry about terror, we have tocontinually engage in home improvement. The American people will never supportdoing these things around the world unless they believe we are making the Americandream more real here at home….

This last, I think, is the most important of all. Harry Truman was a guy who washelping to run a family farm until he was 32 years old, who was, I think, 50 when hewas elected to the Senate, maybe older. But he understood something that you wouldhave expected only from someone who had traveled the world, lived in many differentcultures, had a much more…sophisticated life to understand: if he wanted to presenthimself as everyman, which he did adroitly in politics, he had to respect every manand woman. I mean, why did he take all the heat to integrate the military and thefederal employment service? He didn’t have to do it to get elected. He did it becausehe thought it was right….

All of our brains are hardwired to make distinctions. Otherwise, we couldn’tsurvive. Thinking would be impossible if you couldn’t make distinctions. You have toput reality in little boxes, right? You know the difference between a man and awoman, tall and short, wide and thin, liberal and conservative, scientist and doctor.We think in distinctions; we have to. But when we get to the point where we believe

life is all about those distinctions,we cannot live in a globally

interdependent environment.We can’t. Truman knew this

somehow in thefiber of his bones,that you couldn’t

be everyman unless you cared about every man.Mr. Truman left us quite a legacy. What we owe him is to take his legacy to make

sure our grandchildren can be here celebrating the 100th anniversary of his Libraryand his service. Thank you very much. ■

“The enduring legacy of

harry Truman is highly

relevant to the 21st century.”

hrough events he didn’t even control, Harry Trumancame to be president of the United States and madedecisions that changed the course of our history. And yet,then he came home to Independence, mowed the lawn, andwent for walks among his neighbors….

The office was never his to claim permanently, and thepower he exercised was a temporary power, not a permanent and imperialpower. And I wonder if, in fact, he would recognize the presidency todayand if he would recognize America.

You can’t read his books, his letters, his files without realizing that he, himself, hada deep understanding for a wide reading of history; and he understood, as he himselfsaid, that the American revolution was all about dis-enthroning a king, not enthroninga king….

He understood that George III routinely denied citizens their basic liberties: spiedon them and entered their homes at will, seized their property, jailed them withoutcharges, rounded up and imprisoned dissidents, collected their taxes to pay forempire. George III believed in the divine right of kings, and he believed that the kingcould do no wrong. Of course, as Harry Truman himself would say, Americans roseup to say, “No more, let’s put an end to that.” And to make sure it never happenedagain, they created a government so carefully divided that no branch could ever besupreme to the others. They devised a government that would break up theauthority of a monarchical power in order to avoid recreating and repeating theautocracy against which the American revolution had been waged. Each branchwould have the power to check the other two so that none would rise above theothers and create a disequilibrium.

That sometimes has been very frustrating because it has led to gridlock, it has led toparalysis, it has led to periods of great ennui in American life. But on the whole, it hasconfirmed what Thomas Paine said was the ultimate nature of the revolution, which isthat the law, the law, is king.

We’ve come to a different realizing today. I think the founders would not recognize ourgovernment…. The White House has pulled over the executive branch of government ablanket of secrecy so thick and pervasive that many journalists and many historiansbelieve that the secrecy today is unprecedented in the history of our country. I don’t knowthat for certain—we’ll ask our historians.

Some of you may remember the Cold War and the Vietnam War. A secretgovernment mushroomed in this country in the name of war. And in 1975 Congressfinally got around to doing an investigation, under the rubric of the Frank ChurchCommittee, to see what was going on. They turned up the rock on the secretgovernment, and they found all kinds of slimy and lethal things under there, including

the CIA trying to subvertforeign democracy.

Fred Schwartz, who was thechief counsel, said that whatthey found in the ChurchCommittee was that notelephone, no college campus,and no mailbox had been offlimits to the spying in thatparticular time.

In the wake of the Watergatescandal, Congress pushed

back, rejected many of the claims, particularly this one of the inherent authority of thepresident, and Congress restored some of the checks and balances on the power of thepresidency, including an end to electronic surveillance without warrant….

In the 1980s, Congress conducted an investigation into the Iran-Contra scandals ofthe Reagan administration and concluded that there had been illegal activities. Butthere was a minority report of the committee written by the Republicans on thatcommittee, and it said the chief executive will, on occasion, feel duty-bound toassert—I’m not making this up—monarchical notions of prerogative that will permithim to exceed the law….

Almost every week now comes some new revelation of what is done in secret. Forexample, in 2005, the Justice Department first repudiated the infamous torture memoand then issued in secret at least two interpretations that permitted what they said theywould not allow.

We are facing what I think, and what many of my journalistic colleagues and some ofour historian colleagues think, is a constitutional crisis in which the president placeshimself above the law….

Bruce Fein, who served in the Reagan administration, came on our show [Bill MoyersJournal, PBS] and said, “Take, for instance, the assertion that he's made that when he isout to collect foreign intelligence, no other branch can tell him what to do. That means hecan intercept your e-mails, your phone calls, open your regular mail, he can break andenter your home. He can even kidnap you, claiming, I am seeking foreign intelligence….Congress can't say it's illegal—judges can't say this is illegal. I can do anything I want.”That from a conservative scholar named Bruce Fein….

This is not a new conflict. And here I’ve framed the issue for our historians, whowill have the rest of the evening to discuss it. Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt bothtook extra-constitutional actions in time of war. Lincoln held 13,000 dissidents,spies, suspects, in detention without habeas corpus. FDR went around Congress,which had passed the Neutrality Act, and sold destroyers…that Britain needed toturn back the Nazi hordes. Harry Truman, in 1948—there’s a wonderful letter in theTruman Library from LBJ 20 years later expressing great regard for Harry Truman’sdecision by executive order in 1948 to integrate the armed forces, a historic and

“The panel discussion withBill Moyers was one of themost interesting events of itskind I have ever attended,ranking only with this sum-mer’s Bill Clinton event.

“The question of wherethe limits of presidentialpower should and do lie isone of the most important ofour time…. I was intriguedby the robust dialogue andits treatment of both histori-cal and contemporarythemes, impressed by thelarge crowd of interestedcommunity members andtheir insightful questions,and inspired to see how thelegacy and experience ofPresident Truman…continueto inform…the world today.

“The Library and Institutecertainly did the communitya tremendous service by or-ganizing this event…. I lookforward to attending futureevents and to contributingwherever I am able to furtherthe mission of the Truman Li-brary and Institute.”

is a constitutional crisis.”

courageous decision done in opposition to Congress. Bill Clinton, 1994, the Mexicopeso is collapsing. We face a global financial meltdown. The president asksCongress for an emergency $40 million package of loan guarantees, and Congresssays no, says no openly, defiantly, and conclusively. So Bill Clinton reaches into theback pocket of the government to an obscure place called the Exchange StabilizationFund, something that had never been used for this purpose before and extends a$20 billion line of credit to Mexico. I was opposed to it, said so on the air at thattime. But the peso straightens up, Mexico repays the loan ahead of schedule, andyou can make the case that Bill Clinton’s extra-legal action probably stabilized theeconomy….

The question to our panel is, once you expand presidential powers, can you evertake them back—have they ever contracted? Or, aren’t you placing on the OvalOffice table for the next president a loaded pistol that he or she can pick up andfire at will?

I’m rereading Arthur Schlesinger’s memoirs. He wrote the seminal book on theimperial presidency, and in that and other places, he says, “The answer to therunaway Presidency is not the messenger-boy Presidency.” American democracy,he said, “must discover a middle ground between making the President a czar andmaking him a puppet.”…

In conclusion, I’ll let President Truman have the last word. He [said], “This republicof ours is unique in the history of government, and if the young people coming alongin the future generations do not understand it and appreciate what they have, it willgo the way of the judges of Israel, the city states of Greece, the great Roman republicand the Dutch republic.”…

I have come to see that democracy is a series of narrow escapes, and unless wetake institutional, fundamental, and constitutional action some time in the nearfuture, we may not make the next narrow escape. That is Harry Truman’s warning, Ithink. ■

During his opening remarks, Bill Moyers shared thisfavorite anecdote, which took place in Truman’s home onDelaware Avenue in Independence, Missouri.

“LBJ brought a passel of his young aides, because hewas insistent that we would meet Harry Truman. Wewere in a circle in what was the dining room of hishouse. And LBJ brought Harry Truman around and hadevery one of us shake his hand, and he introduced useach by name.

“As we were leaving, Harry Truman said, “Boys, youtake care of the president.” And somebody said, “He cantake care of himself.”

“Truman said, “Boys, let me tell you what I mean.Since the president won the largest plurality in American

political history last fall, he’s going to say, ‘Two plus twois five, isn’t it?’ And everyone in the room’s going to say,‘Yes, Mr. President, two plus two is five.’

“And he’s going to say, ‘The sun comes up in the west,right?’ And everybody’s going to say, ‘Yes, Mr. President,the sun comes up in the west.’

“And he’s going to say, ‘I don’t have to put my pantson one leg at a time, do I?’

“And everybody in the room’s going to say, ‘No, Mr.President, you don’t have to put your pants on one leg ata time.’

“And your job, boys, is to tell the president, ‘Two plus twois still four, the sun still comes up in the east, and we don’tcare how you put your pants on, but your fly is unzipped.’”
