# Press Forces a Retreat in the War on Terror

Congressional Record: April 23, 2008 (Extensions of Remarks) [Page E709] From the Congressional Record Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:cr23ap08-90]
PRESS FORCES A RETREAT IN THE WAR ON TERROR
______
HON. TED POE
of Texas
in the House of Representatives
Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, recently coalition forces were forced to retreat in their campaign against insurgents in Afghanistan when the British Ministry of Defense extracted Prince Harry from his front line duties. As third line in line to the British throne, Harry carries a certain amount of importance about him, especially when he is risking his life to make the lives of the British people and their allies safer. Military service is not something new for the Royal Family, as they have a long tradition of serving in the armed forces, including direct combat duties. But why did the British military, one of the most disciplined and well respected organizations in the world, have to pull back? The answer was that it was betrayed by friendly fire in the press.
An Australian magazine entitled New Idea leaked Harry's mission in Afghanistan in late February. While the magazine has apologized, it broke an informal agreement with the British Ministry of Defense that called for a global media blackout on the story. Harry had been successfully calling in coalition air-strikes against Taliban insurgents. But with his identity and location compromised, Harry's security became jeopardized because of the possibility that he and his command would become specifically targeted.
Here is a "New Idea" for the press: exercise some common sense. While it is important that we as a democracy stay abreast of what is occurring in the military, there is a fine line where we have to stop and let the military do its job. This example involving the Prince of Wales shows the great security issue involving the press and the military. Not all information can be given to the general public, and when supplied with details, the press needs to be responsible and exercise basic common sense.
Here is some advice for the press to follow when given military information. Ask the question, "Will this information possibly endanger lives and missions?" If the answer is even close to being "yes," then it is probably not best to publish it. What would happen if our high ranking generals and civilian leaders had their locations and missions revealed? We would have to completely rethink our strategy and decisions. Missions and lives would become compromised, just as they did for the British with Prince Harry. We need to let the military do its job without interference.
And that's just the way it is.

# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 20 - Esdaile

Layout 2
​Esdaile. — The family of Esdaile of Cothelestone is believed to be a Huguenot refugee family, the head of which was the Baron d’Estaile. The fugitives at the Revocation led a life of poverty for the sake of religion, but their descendants gradually rose in their adopted country; one obtained the honour of knighthood, namely, Sir James Esdaile, and he was the father of William Esdaile, Esq., banker in London (who died in 1837), and the grandfather of Edward Jeffries Esdaile, Esq., of Cothelestone House, Somersetshire (born 1785, died 1867). The son and namesake of the latter is the present proprietor (born in 1813; he married, in 1837, Eliza Ianthe, daughter of the late Percy Bysshe Shelley, Esq.; his heir-apparent is Charles Edward Jeffries Esdaile (born in 1845), father of Edward Jeffries Shelley Esdaile (born in 1876). A brother of Mr. Esdaile of Cothelestone is William Clement Drake Esdaile of Burley Manor, Hants.
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 20 - Gaussen

Layout 2
​Gaussen. — The English family of Gaussen of Brookmans Park (as well as a French branch, which was represented by Le Chevalier de Gaussen, who died in 1843) sprang from the Gaussens of Languedoc. Jean Gaussen, a refugee in Geneva in 1685, was married to Marguerite Bosanquet, sister of David Bosanquet. Two of the sons, Pierre and Francois, were refugees in London, and died there, without issue; the former was Treasurer of the French Hospital in 1745, and Deputy-Governor in 1756. But they had a brother, Paul Gaussen, who married Catherine Valat; he lived in Geneva, and died in 1774; his third and fourth sons founded families. Paul Gaussen s fourth son, David Francois Gaussen, remained in Geneva; he was the grandfather of the celebrated pasteur and professor, Francois Samuel Robert Louis Gaussen (born 25th August 1790, died 18th June 1863), author of “La ​Theopneustie,” and kindred works. Paul Gaussen’s third son, Jean Pierre Gaussen, was adopted by his English refugee uncles, and joined them in London in the year 1739, the sixteenth year of his age. He became Governor of the Bank of England, and a Director of the East India Company. He married his cousin, Anna Maria, daughter of Samuel Bosanquet of Forest House, the second son of David Bosanquet. His son was Colonel Samuel Robert Gaussen, who was High Sheriff of Hertfordshire, and in 1782 a Director of the French Hospital; he married Eliza, daughter of Jacob Bosanquet, Esq. of Broxbournebury, and dying in 1812, was succeeded by the second Samuel-Robert, father of Robert William Gaussen, Esq. of Brookmans Park (born 1814, died 1880). [Harriet, daughter of Colonel S.R. Gaussen, was the wife of Lieut.-Colonel James Best of Park House, near Maidstone, who died on 20th June 1849; she died on 21st January 1875. She was the mother of Mawdistley Gaussen Pest, Esq. of Park House (born 1826); and her daughter, Emily Dorothy, was married on 25th August 1864 to James Whatman Bosanquet, Esq. of Claysmore, Middlesex.]
The Irish family of Gaussen is recognised by Haag as of Huguenot origin; but whether it sprang from the Saumur, the Burgundy, or the Guienne stock is not known. The refugee set sail from France for England, but was driven by a storm into Carlingford Bay, and found shelter for life in Newry. His name was David Gaussen (born 1664, died 1751); he won an Irish bride, Miss Dorothy Fortescue; his son was David of Newry (died 1802); his grandson was David of Ballyronan House, who died in 1832 (his sister, Miss Elizabeth Gaussen, lived to a great age); the refugee’s great-grandson was David of Lakeview House, County Derry (died 1853); his great-great-grandsons were David Campbell Gaussen, Esq. of Shanemullagh (born 1815), barrister-at-law, Captain Thomas Lovett Gaussen, R.N., Rev. Edmond James Gaussen, and William Ash Gaussen, Esq.
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 20 - Gervais

Layout 2
​Gervais. — The Irish family of Gervais of Cecil descends from Jean Gervais of Tournon, in Guienne, and Anne Fabre, his wife, who both died before the Revocation. Their sons, Pierre and Daniel, were brought to England in 1685 by an uncle. Daniel (born 1679) became a Captain in the army, and Gentleman-Usher to the Queen; he married Pauline, daughter of the Rev. Mr. Balaguier of the French Protestant Church, Dublin. Pierre Gervais (born 1677, died 1730) married in 1717 Marie Francoise Girard; his son was Peter (born 1722, died 1800), who married Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Samuel Close of Elm Park, county Armagh. Their son, Rev. Francis Gervais (died 1849), was the proprietor of the estate of Cecil, in county Tyrone; his wife was Katherine Jane, daughter of Michael Tisdall, Esq., and his heir and successor was Francis John Gervais, Esq. of Cecil, M.A. (born 21st August 1819, died 19th July 1882.) The latter is represented (I presume) by his son, Francis Peter Gervais, Esq. (born 12th December 1868).
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 20 - Gosset

Layout 2
​Gosset. — This Norman family are known as refugees in Jersey, but when scattered by the Revocation Edict, some of them settled in London, as is evident from the French Church Baptismal Registers. Abraham Gosset, of London, married Judith Ravenel in or before 1707; their children were Abraham (born 1708), Isaac (born 1709), and Jean Pierre (born 1711); Matthieu Gosset was a sponsor at the first baptism. In the next generation, Mr. Gedeon Gosset, of London, married Anne Buisset in or before 1742, and had two sons, Gedeon (born 1743), and Pierre (born 1744). Mr. Isaac Gosset and Françoise, his wife, had Jeanne Magdelaine (born 1743), Isaac (born 1745), Abraham (born 1748), and Francoise (born 1749).
I abridge from Burke’s “Landed Gentry” a memoir of the Jersey refugee family. John Gosset (died in 1712) was the father of John Gosset, who married Susan D’Allain, and left two sons; his younger son, Isaac, a subsequent chapter is concerned with. The elder son was Abraham, father of Matthew Gosset of Bagot, whose eldest son was another Matthew Gosset, Esq. of Bagot, Jersey, and of Connaught Square, London, Vice-Comes of the Island of Jersey (died 1843); the second wife of the younger Matthew was Grace, daughter of Admiral Sir Thomas Frankland, Bart., and her sons were Colonel William Matthew Gosset of the Royal Engineers, Admiral Henry Gosset, and Arthur Gosset, Esq. of Eltham House, Kent, the head of the family (born 1800, father of Arthur Wellesley Gosset and other children. There are two branches founded by Matthew Gosset, senior, by his second wife, Margaret Durell. (1.) Sir William Gosset, C.B., late Sergeant-at-Arms to the House of Commons (died 1848), was the father of Captain Sir Ralph Allen Gosset, K.C.B., also late Sergeant-at-Arms (died 1885), father of Colonel Butler Gosset. (2.) Major John Noah Gosset is the father of Colonel William O’Driscoll Gosset of the Royal Engineers. Another branch was founded by Matthew Gosset, junior, who by his third wife, Laura Honor Cotton, was father of George Bagot Gosset, Esq. (died 1840).
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 20 - Girardot

Layout 2
​Girardot. — The family of Girardot (although as yet there is no pedigree) may be said to descend from Huguenot refugees, whose estates near Dijon were forfeited. In the registers I observe three branches with territorial titles of nobility, and in the magazines a fourth. Girardot Du Perron was naturalized in 1686 (see List xii.), and Anne Girardot Du Perron in 1696 (see List xxi.). In February 1690, in the parish Church of St. Mary Aldermary, London, James Girardot alias Du Perron marries Ann Girardot alias De Vermenoux. In December of the same year the same couple appears within Hungerford French Church, bringing their son, Jean Etienne, for baptism, the godmother being Madame Marie Girardot de Préfond. The Sieur Du Perron is styled Capitaine de chariott du Roi. Among the subscribers to “Laval’s History” there is “De Vermenoux, Esq.”; he lived at Hackney, and was evidently not so well known by his patronymic, Girardot, as by his distinctive title. There was a very influential gentleman of the family, styled De Tillieux. John Girardot de Tillieux, Esq., was made a Director of the South Sea Company in 1721, but seems to have got out of it in time, as his property was not confiscated by Parliament; he was an executor of Sir Denis Dutry’s Will in 1728. His property passed to an only child and heiress. I find the following notice:—
Married, 12th May 1747, Captain Hamilton, nearly related to the Duke, to Miss Girardot, only child of John Girardot of Tilleux, near Greenwich, Esq., with £30,000.
In my account of the family of André, I noted that the families of André and Girardot intermarried twice. Connected probably with these last-named Girardots was Charles Girardot, Esq., who married a Lincolnshire lady, daughter of William Dashwood, Esq.; his son was John Charles Girardot, Esq. of Allestree Hall, Derbyshire (died 1845), and by his wife, Lydia Marianne, daughter of Charles Vere ​Dashwood, Esq., he left three sons, Rev. John Chancourt Girardot, proprietor of Car-Colston Hall, Nottinghamshire (born 1798), Lieut.-Colonel Charles Andre Girardot, and Rev. William Lewis Girardot. I observe in the Army List Major-General George Charles Girardot, born 1841.
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 20 - Kenny

Layout 2
​Kenny. — Several families of this name are believed to descend from a Huguenot refugee who settled in Ireland, and whose son Thomas Kenny (died 1725) married Frances, a grand-daughter of Rev. John Courtney, Rector of Ballinrobe, and was the father of Captain Courtney Kenny. The eldest son of the latter was Thomas (born 1734, died 1812), father of Lieutenant-Colonel William Kenny (who met a soldier’s death in India in 1803), of Thomas, Junior (father of Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Kenny), of Lieutenant-General David Crowe Kenny (father of William), and of Captain Courtney Kenny (father of Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Kenny of Madras), The second son of the refugee’s grandson was another Courtney Kenny (born 1736, died 1809), father of a third Courtney (born 1781, died 1863), whose representative is the present Stanhope William Fenton Kenny, J.P., of Ballinrobe. The second Courtney had a second son, Mason Stanhope Kenny, M.D., of Halifax, Yorkshire (born 1786, died 1865), who was the father of William Fenton Kenny and of Rev. Lewis Stanhope Kenny, Rector of Kirkby-Knowles. A third son of the second Courtney was John, father of Courtney Bermingham Kenny.

SOCIETY NOTES.
Lady Diana Dingo was in the Park yesterday, walking with Lancelot, her new ant-eater, and the latter, who has happily recovered from his severe attack of measles, is now quite tame, and was wearing bronzed toe-nails and a large blue ribbon under the left ear.
The Countess of Torquay and her sister, Mrs. Pygmalion Popinjay, were at the Earl's Court Exhibition on Wednesday. The Countess's crested toucan, Willy, was much admired.
The Ladies' Park Pet race at Ranelham next Friday is expected to prove an exciting event, especially as Stella, Lady Killaloo, has entered her large crocodile, Horace—called after her late husband—who is known to prove rather fractious at times.
Mrs. Halliday Hare is in deep mourning for her bandicoot, Maud Eliza, who was unfortunately set upon and eaten last week by the Hon. Mrs. Joram's young jaguar during an afternoon call at the house of a mutual friend of their mistresses. Mrs. Hare is leaving town at once, and her house will be closed until late in the autumn.
The iguana worn by Miss Bay Buskin in the second Act of The Belle of Bow Street is a delightful little creature, and accompanies his mistress everywhere. While on the subject of the theatre, we are glad to learn that the cages now being erected behind the stage at Galy's Theatre will soon be ready, when there should be no further cause for complaint about the rapacity of some of the larger carnivora owned by certain ladies of the chorus.
The recent fashion of having one's pet emu coloured to match one's frock is dying out, and armadilloes with gilded trotters are becoming the vogue.

# Proclamation 6932

Delivered on 7 October 1996.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
As we prepare to meet the challenges of the 21st century, protecting the environment remains our sacred responsibility. Our National Wildlife Refuge System is a network of special places set aside to conserve the natural habitat of our fish and wildlife. My Administration is dedicated to strengthening this invaluable network of refuges that truly enhance the lives of all Americans.
President Theodore Roosevelt established the first National Wildlife Refuge in 1903, and his vision remains the guiding force for the Refuge System today: ". . . keeping for our children's children, as a priceless heritage, all the delicate beauty of the lesser and all the burly majesty of the mightier forms of wild life . . . . Wild beasts and birds are by right not the property merely of the people alive today, but the property of the unborn generations whose belongings we have no right to squander."
What began 93 years ago with a small island in Florida has grown into a system of more than 500 refuges spanning all 50 States and several trust territories. It is home to resident and migratory wildlife and includes lands of breathtaking beauty and diversity, from the tropical mangroves of Florida's Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge to the majestic peaks of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. This mosaic of magnificent places provides Americans a wide range of opportunities-both educational and recreational-to learn about our environment and our country's heritage, to observe and photograph, and to hunt and fish. Our national wildlife refuges are among our most treasured areas, and we must reaffirm our commitment to preserving these precious resources for our children, for our communities, and for future generations. Working together, we can ensure the health and vitality of our wildlife and our Nation.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 6 through October 12, 1996, as National Wildlife Refuge Week. I invite all Americans to learn about, appreciate, and celebrate this magnificent collection of lands that we as a people have set aside for wildlife and for the enjoyment of future generations. I also ask all to join me in a renewed commitment to responsible stewardship of our country's irreplaceable natural resources.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-first.

# Proclamation 6934

Delivered on 9 October 1996.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Leif Erikson Day commemorates the life and the voyages of the great Nordic explorer who first set foot on the fertile soil of North America about one thousand years ago. On this day, we also celebrate the close bonds of friendship between the people of the United States and the Nordic peoples, as well as the outstanding contributions that Nordic Americans have made to our country.
We have good cause to mark this day. The pioneering spirit that Leif Erikson and his followers demonstrated embodies the virtues of independence, self-determination, and initiative that are firmly rooted in our national consciousness today. As a vital transatlantic bridge between the continents of America and Europe, the Nordic countries of Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland have repeatedly shown a bedrock commitment to the democratic values that contributed greatly to the formation of our own national ideals.
Just as our forebears persevered through what sometimes seemed insurmountable odds to transform adversity into prosperity, we have continued to champion the cause of liberty and to reach out without reservation or hesitation to our neighbors and those in need around the world. The same heritage that enabled our ancestors to brave wars and uncharted frontiers-because they were convinced that they were working to create a better world-also emboldens us today in our cooperative effort to integrate the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania into the Western community of nations.
Our immigrant ancestors survived unthinkable hardships to achieve economic, religious, and political freedom. Their dreams were big, but so was their willingness to work for them. The link they forged across the oceans is sustained today by a common commitment to freedom and the rule of law-ideals that have strong roots in the civic and legal traditions of Nordic countries dating back at least to medieval times.
In honor of Leif Erikson-son of Iceland, grandson of Norway-the Congress, by joint resolution approved on September 2, 1964 (Public Law 88-566), has authorized and requested the President to designate October 9 of each year as "Leif Erikson Day."
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 9, 1996, as Leif Erikson Day. I encourage the people of the United States to observe this occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities commemorating our rich Nordic-American heritage.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-first.
