NINETEEN FORTY EIGHT WHICH
GRANTED WOMEN A PERMANENT PLACE
AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CAREER IN
THE NATION'S MILITARY. THERE
ALMOST- TWO MILLION UNITED
STATES MILITARY WOMEN VETERANS
IN THE UNITED STATES AND I'M
GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF THE
NEARLY HUNDRED SIXTY THREE
THOUSAND FEMALE VETERANS THAT
MAKE CALIFORNIA THEIR HOME. WHEN
I JOIN UNITED STATES ARMY I WAS
NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT ARE
WORRIED THE STATION. HOWEVER
BEING STATIONED IN FRANKFURT
GERMANY AND WITNESSING THE FALL
OF THE BERLIN WALL HAS LEFT A
LASTING IMPRESSION ON ME. I
WOULD NOT BE PART OF SUCH A
MONUMENTAL- MOMENT IN HISTORY IF
IT WAS NOT FOR THE WOMEN'S ARMED
SERVICES INTEGRATION ACT. WOMEN
ARE THE FASTEST GROWING GROUP OF
VETERAN- POPULATION AS WE COUNT
FOR APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE
OVERALL VENTURE POPULATION
TODAY. AND IT'S PROJECTED THAT
WOMEN WILL MAKE UP APPROXIMATELY
18% OF THE VETERAN POPULATION BY
TWENTY FOURTEEN. AS THE FIRST
FEMALE VETERAN TO EVER BE
ELECTED TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE
LEGISLATURE I AM PROUD TO SERVE
AS THE VICE CHAIRS THE SENATE
COMMITTEE ON VETERANS AFFAIRS.
AND I'M ALSO HONORED TO SERVE ON
THE GOVERNOR'S MILITARY COUNCIL.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO HONOR MY FELLOW FEMALE
VETERANS SENATOR SUSAN EGGMAN
WHO IS NOT HERE TODAY WHO SERVED
THE UNITED STATES ARMY. AND
SENATOR- CAROLINE MENJIVAR WHO
SERVE THE UNITED. STATES MARINE
CORPS- ROCK. M. PUT THEIR HAND
IN THE AIR TO SWIM DEFINIT
CONST. AND OF THE UNITED AGAINST
IN A FOREIGN DOMESTIC. I'D ALSO
LIKE TO TAKE JUST A BRIEF MOMENT
ONLY BECAUSE THIS HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH THE SENATE PRO TEM. BUT
DURING OUR RELATIONSHIP I HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH
HER SISTER TINA. AND TINA IS
TINA PHILLIPS IS THE SENATE PRO
TEM TWIN SISTER AND SHE SERVED
THE UNITED STATES NAVY. AND SHE
SERVED ADMIRABLY AND SHE SERVED
WITH A GOOD PURPOSE. AND I JUST
WANT TO HONOR HER TODAY AS WOMEN
VETERANS MONTH AS WELL
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
ON SR FORTY TWO. THANK YOU
CENTER GROVE- THE PRO TEM. WELL
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT- WHAT
WOULD I DO. IF I DIDN'T STAND
UP- AFTER MY COLLEAGUES FROM
BAKER SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE MY
SISTER- I WOULD BE IN DEEP
TROUBLE- I INTENDED TO STAND UP
AND SAY HOW PROUD I AM. TO COME
FROM A FAMILY OF SERVICE
INCLUDING MY SISTER WHO SERVED
IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY- BUT
I'M ALSO REALLY PROUD AS THE
LEADER OF THE SENATE. TO HAVE.
MORE VETERANS IN THE SENATE THAN
WE'VE EVER HAD I BELIEVE. ARE AT
LEAST IN RECENT HISTORY- NOT
JUST THE WOMEN BUT THE MEN WHO
SERVE- IT GIVES ME GREAT PRIDE.
TO REFLECT AND BE PART OF THE
SENATE. AND RECOGNIZE THE
SERVICE OF OUR SERVICE MEMBERS
AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE
RECOGNIZING THE PARTICULAR ROLE
OF WOMEN TODAY IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT. BUT I AM PROUD OF THE
SENATE ROLE IN- WHAT WE'RE ABLE
TO DO AND HOW WE'RE ABLE TO
REPRESENT VETERANS AND
SERVICEMEMBERS IN THE GREAT
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER ARCHULETA.
THANK YOU MR. I RISE IS THE
CHAIR THE MILITARY VETERANS
COMMITTEE AS YOU ALL KNOW WE'VE
NEVER HAD SO MANY VETERANS. IN
THE HOUSE- AS WE DO TODAY TODAY
WE RECOGNIZE THE WOMEN. AND I'VE
GOT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO
MY DAUGHTER IN LAW TIFFANY
ARCHULETA WAS A WEST POINT
GRADUATE. AND REACHED THE RANK
OF CAPTAIN TWO TOURS IRAQ AND
AFGHANISTAN INTELLIGENCE OFFICER
SERVE WITH HONOR DIGNITY DIGNITY
ALONGSIDE MY SON. AND I WILL
TELL YOU THAT. WHEN I WAS
SERVING A PRESIDENT OBAMA AT THE
UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY
AT WEST POINT WE STARTED TO SEE
MORE AND MORE WOMEN COMING INTO
WEST POINT. BUT THE DISTINCT
HONOR WE HAD THE LARGEST
GRADUATING CLASS OF AFRICAN
AMERICAN IN THE ERA OF WOMEN IN
THE HISTORY OF WEST POINT THE
LARGEST CLASS EVER. AND SHOW
WOMEN ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THE
CONTRIBUTION THAT WOMEN HAVE
MADE IN OUR ARMED FORCES WE
THINK ABOUT WORLD WAR TWO AND IN
THE BOMBERS THAT WERE MADE IN
THE PLANES WERE MADE WELL THESE
PLANES HAD TO GO FROM ONE END TO
THE COAST TO THE OTHER. IT WAS
THE WOMEN PILOTS WHO WERE
ACTUALLY TAKEN A BACK AND FORTH
WE HAVE WOMEN NURSES RIGHT NOW
IN THE MILITARY WHEN I WAS
THERE- I LANDED ON THE USS
NIMITZ. AND THE SAILORS AND I
CALL THEM SAILORS DID SUCH A
GREAT JOB AND THEY MADE SURE
THAT I KNEW THAT IT WAS THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT
PLANE TOOK OFF OR THEY KNEW THAT
THE MEN AND WOMEN THEY SERVE
WITH. HAD AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
TO HAVE TO GAIN RANK AND- IN
OBTAINED THAT HONOR OF BEING A
SAILOR BUT TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO
SERVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU. MY
FELLOW VETERANS CONGRATULATIONS
. AND WE SAY WELCOME HOME. THANK
YOU CENTER CENTER ON BURKE.
WELCOME THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT I
I'VE LISTENED TO MY COLLEAGUES
TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH RESPECT AND
ADMIRATION THEY HAVE FOR. WOMEN
VETERANS BUT I DON'T THINK
ANYBODY CAN BEAT ME I MARRIED
ONE BECAUSE I HAVE SO MUCH
RESPECT AND ADMIRATION. BUT THE
SAD REALITY NUMBER HOUSEHOLD IS
THAT. MY SPOUSE ALWAYS OUTRANK
ME AND YES I DID HAVE TO SALUTE
HER. AND THOSE ARE YOU CERTAIN
MILITARY YOU KNOW THAT THE ONLY
REASON SHE OUT RIGHTLY IS
BECAUSE THAT IMPLICIT BIAS IN
THE MILITARY. THAT IMPLICIT BIAS
IN FAVOR THOSE ARE BETTER
LEADERS SMARTER AND BETTER
MANAGERS THAT'S THE ONLY REASON
SHE OUTRANKED ME- BUT- SHE- IS
AN EXAMPLE IS AN EXAMPLE FOR ME
SHE'S EXAMPLE FOR ALL OFFICERS
ALL MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY.
ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT. OUR
SERVICE WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THE
MILITARY. THE LESSONS THAT ARE
LEARNED. THE CHALLENGES THAT ARE
MET. THE SACRIFICES THAT ARE
MADE AND SO- ON TODAY I SHOULD I
SHOULD NOT FORGET MY DAUGHTER

ON TODAY'S DAY- WE SHOULD
RECOGNIZE ALL VETERANS. WHO ARE
WOMEN WHO MADE SUCH A HUGE
CONTRIBUTION TO OUR NATIONAL
DEFENSE THANK YOU. S. REVIVAL.

THAT UP FIRST WE HAVE SENATOR
AND SENATOR ALAN. ARE YOU
PREPARED HERE'S FLOOR'S YOURS
SIR. MEMBERS IT'S WITH A VERY
HEAVY HEART THAT I RISE YOUR
QUEST. MEMBERS WITH A VERY HEAVY
HEART THAT I RISE TODAY TO
REQUEST OF YOU DURING THE MEMORY
OF MICHAEL BERMAN. WHO PASSED
AWAY EARLIER THIS MONTH. MICHAEL
WAS A ONCE IN A. GENERATION
POLITICAL MIND WITH THE UNIQUE
ABILITY TO COLLECT CONNECT
POLITICIANS IN THEIR POLICIES TO
THE PEOPLE IMPACTED BY THEM. IN
NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT. HI
MICHAEL- BEGAN A DECADES LONG
CAREER OF ELECTORAL SUCCESS BY
RUNNING THE CAMPAIGN OF HENRY
WAXMAN FOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE
BUT I ACTUALLY FOUND OUT ON THE
CALL TODAY THAT HE STARTED A
COUPLE YEARS BEFORE THAT. AS A
NINETEEN YEAR OLD AT BERKELEY
RUNNING A CAMPAIGN UP THERE.
THAT'S THE NINETY SIXTY EIGHT
THAT WAS WHEN. HENRY WAXMAN
UNSEATED A TWENTY SIX YEAR
INCUMBENT DURING ELECTION IN
WHICH MICHAEL WAS STILL TOO
YOUNG TO VOTE. A FEW YEARS LATER
HE PREVIOUS CAMPAIGNING METAL BY
LEADING HIS BROTHER HOWARD. I TO
THE STATE LEGISLATURE AS WELL AS
HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER HE HAD A
DISDAIN FOR THE PUBLIC EYE. BUT
HIS WORK CAPTURE THE IMAGINATION
OF THE POLITICAL REALM AND
EARNED HIM A REPUTATION THAT WAS
INESCAPABLE. OVER SEVENTY FIVE
YEARS HE WAS DESCRIBED AS A
CALIFORNIA KING MAKER A PIONEER
OF POLITICAL SAVANT A MASTER
MIND YOU CHEAP CALIFORNIA
POLITICS FOR GENERATIONS NOT TO
MENTION A BRILLIANT PACMAN AND
POKER PLAYER. THE WASHINGTON
POST ARTICLE FROM NINETEEN
EIGHTY THREE PRODUCE MICHAEL AS
A RUMPLED GENIUS WHO WORKS
BEHIND THE SCENES HERE IN A
PERPETUAL CLOUD OF CIGARETTE
SMOKE. BUT PERHAPS MOST FAMOUSLY
MICHAEL BECAME KNOWN AS AN
EPONYMOUS. HALF OF OR AT LEAST
THE- THE- THE BRAINS BEHIND THE
OF THE WORK FORCE BEHIND. THE
BERMAN WAXMAN MACHINE A MONIKER
THAT BETRAYED TO RADICALLY
PERSONALIZED APPROACH THAT HE
TOOK TO. CAMPAIGN IN LOS
ANGELES. HIS PHILOSOPHY DATES
BACK TO THE TIME THAT HE SPENT
WITH HOWARD HENRY WITH YOU STILL
YOUNG DEMOCRATS WERE PERSUASION.
AN INDIVIDUAL CONNECTION. WERE
CENTRAL AND ESSENTIAL. HE WORKED
WITH THE UCLA SOCIOLOGIST TO
CRAFT AN APPROACH THAT WOULD
COMBINE DEMOGRAPHIC DATA VOTING
PATTERNS IN CAMPAIGN METHODS TO
COMMUNICATE WITH VOTERS. ON MORE
PERSONALIZED AND PERSUASIVE
BASIS. THOSE STANDARD PRACTICE
TODAY THE STRATEGY WAS ONE THAT
ONLY MICHAEL COULD PULL OFF WITH
HIS POLITICAL PASSIONS
EXPERIENCE IS ENCYCLOPEDIC
KNOWLEDGE OF CALIFORNIA
DEMOGRAPHIC STATISTICS. AND
POLITICAL TRENDS. IS MADE CAMP
METHODS. WITH VOTERS AND HELP
GUIDE HENRY HOWARD OTHERS. TO
CONTINUE TO ELECTORAL SUCCESS.
AND THE IDEA WAS THAT- THAT THE
IT WAS VERY PERSONALIZED AND
FOCUSED IN CONNECTING WITH
VOTERS. AND ONCE IN OFFICE
HOWARD HENRY WERE ABLE TO
SUPPORT LIKE MINDED CANDIDATES
AT ITS HEIGHT. THIS GROUP IS A
COHORT OF ELECTED MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS THAT OWE THEIR SUCCESS.
TO MICHAEL BERMAN ACTUALLY
OUTNUMBERED THE TOTAL
DELEGATIONS OF ANY STATE. WHICH
PROVIDE IN ON PRESIDENT
OPPORTUNITY POLICY ACROSS THE
COUNTRY IN THE POST WATERGATE
YEARS. WHETHER AGREED WITH THOSE
POLICIES ARE NOT ANYONE WHO
WORKED WITH. MICHAEL LEFT A DEEP
RESPECT FOR HIM AND HIS WORK AS
AN OPPONENT HIM DESCRIBE DECADES
AGO I WAS PREPARED TO THOROUGHLY
DISLIKE HIM BUT HOW COULD YOU
JUST LIKE SOMEONE. WHO IS THAT
SMART. MICHAEL'S MEMORY WILL BE
CHERISHED ONLY BY HIS BROTHER
HOWARD THE BY ALL THOSE WHO HAD
THE HONOR OF TRULY IN THE KNOW
HIM OVER THE YEARS. I HAD A
GREAT CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH
CONGRESSMAN BERMAN WAXMAN THIS
MORNING AND- GOT THE BOTH ON THE
PHONE WE WERE TALKING AND
SHARING SOME STORIES ABOUT MIKE
ON THE BECAUSE MOST OF THE
CONVERSATION. ENDED UP FOCUSING
ON DEMOGRAPHICS. AND- AND
CHANGING POPULAR TRENDS IN LOS
ANGELES AND- AND ELSEWHERE
MICHAEL WAS SO INTERESTED. IN
THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF
CAMPAIGNING. AND THE GEOGRAPHY
OF POLITICS AND REPRESENTATION.
WHERE DO PEOPLE LIVE WHETHER
THEY BELIEVE WHERE THEY THINK
WHERE THEY BELIEVE. AND HOW TO
REACH THEM HOW TO ENGAGE THEM
AND HOW TO. TO CONNECT WITH
THEM. IN IN WAYS THAT WERE
DIFFERENT THAN THAN THAN THE
WAYS IN THE PAST. AND HE REALLY
WAS ABLE TO HELP TO RESHAPE. A
LOT OF THE BASIC POLITICAL
TRENDS. NOT ONLY OF CERTAIN
PARTS OF LOS ANGELES BUT- BUT
MANY PARTS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA OBVIOUSLY VERY
INVOLVED IN RICHARD
REDISTRICTING PROCESS YEAR AFTER
