oil into the golf course. >> mr. chairman, i wanted to make one final comment. all of us have raised -- have questions today. we are obviously cons -- extremely concerned about the crisis and the long-term implications. but in the interest of fairness, i do want to the knowledge that bp and mr. mckay have fully cooperated with our inquiry, have not tried to get out of testifying today, and sadly that stands in stark contrast with the government agency, the mms, which refused to come testify today. i think it is only fair to knowledge, and happy though we are that the situation that

we're in, that mr. mckay has fully cooperated with their inquiry. >> thank you for bringing that up, centered collins. i appreciate your cooperation and i do not appreciate the failure of mms to come. secretary salazar will testify tomorrow before the senate energy commission. i understand the broad of se -- the prerogative that the agency has to go before its committee of jurisdiction first. i hope those committee members will ask about the conduct of the mineral management service and the kind of demands they make for oil spill response plans, and just to restate the intention of senator collins and me to all the minerals management service's before our committee at some appropriate time in the not too cute -- too distant future to answer those questions if they are not answer to more. in the meantime, i thank you.

the record of this hearing will remain open for 15 days for the submission of our -- -- of other statements. with that, the hearing is adjourd. thank you. [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2010]

[cheers]

>> thank you very much. thank you. is this a great crowd or what? can you believe it? just for me? [applause] i know why you are here. will we have a big victory on tuesday? [applause] let me tell you something -- it is an honor and privilege to have president bill clinton come

to johnstown to see all of us two days before this election. [applause] it was president clinton's leadership and his willingness to work across the aisle, to parties, knowing we need to focus on economic development and creating jobs and during president clinton + time in office, he turned a budget deficit into a surplus. [applause] he turned and economic recession into the largest peacetime economic expansion in united states history. [applause] thank you so much for being here. i am also privileged -- and i

support is the most meaningful have during this campaign. i also want to thank our first lady, joyce murtha for coming out. [applause] during the campaign, there were get set up an fund to do. without their help, we would not be standing here today. there's a group of people out there that their support did not commit that first and second week of the campaign, we would not be standing here today. look at this crowd. this is absolutely wonderful. [applause] i have been very fortunate that group across this state and across the spectrum,

and conservative. talking about economic development and jobs and pursuing the things we want to do back here in pennsylvania. that is what my message is pretty it is about you. it is not about me. [applause] i have to submit that mrs. smart the chastise me at the last seven and i am looking around and trying to find my family. [laughter] i promise you i will not forget to introduce them again. my wife nancy, my two kids, my law, everybody came out. [applause] standing up here makes me so proud to be doing the things i am doing and running in this campaign. but as it is for anyone, this is a bittersweet moment because if it weren't for the untimely

passing of congressman john murtha, we would not be standing here now with me standing and a podium. working for mr. murtha all those had one single focus. he said it is always about the work. let me tell you something, that is exactly right. it is about the work. it is about jobs and economic development. on, i developed a jobs plan that included eliminating tax breaks companies that ship their jobs overseas [applause] that includes an unfair trade deals that ship our jobs overseas [applause] giving some tax breaks to small businesses that create jobs and energy. voal, we have wind power, we have solar power.

western pennsylvania could world. go to work and make that future for western pennsylvania. [applause] this deep into the campaign, most of you have seen the advertisements and attacks that have come at me. i have to be truthful with you. i believe my opponent is somewhat confused because i have seen his commercials and he mentioned nancy pelosi way more than he ever mentions me. [laughter] should move to california if he wants to run against nazi policy and i support that. [applause] we need to send the message to tim berne said the republican party. this election is not a washington, d.c.. this is about johnstown,

pennsylvania. it is about washington, pennsylvania. does about winds down. does not about them. it is about doing things back here. [applause] i appreciate that. we are here today because we have to get our message out to the people in the 12th congressional district and we have to get into the polls on tuesday. and in an election this clause, we cannot take one single vote for granted. 36 years ago in february, 1974, congressman john murtha won his special election by 122 votes out of 120,000 cast. we cannot leave one vote on the table. we have to go out and get every single vote. [applause] i am asking you to bring that same excitement to our campaign and now through tuesday. your help is needed.

there are folks working through the crowd. there are people out front. we need your help. we have to get every single vote. let me think, let me do the math here -- we have 51 hours until the polls close on tuesday and we cannot miss one vote per it with your help, we will win on tuesday and will send a message to a temp burns, the republican party, and the people who say no to progress. [applause] what president clinton did in office is he said he was a democrat or you are a republican and we all work together. that is one thing about this race. my opponent has drawn the line in the sand that says he is over there and i am over here and he cannot work with us unless we believe what he believes. when it comes to western pennsylvania, i will work with everyone and anyone who will move us forward. that is my job. [applause]

when someone comes through the door of a congressional office and they might have a such as dirty problem or a veteran's benefits problem or maybe they want to work on a project, their problem for their issue is not a republican or democrat or liberal problem. it is their problem. they are a citizen of this united states and a constituent of this district and you are obligated as an elected official to do everything you can to help that person regardless of what their beliefs are and that is what i promise you is what i am going to do. [applause] now gives me great pleasure to introduce one of the great supporters of this campaign and really one of the heroes of johnstown in this area for some many years. please join me in welcoming mrs. joyce murphy.

tha. [applause] >> i am just sorry that check is not here to see all of you today. he would love it. [applause] president bill clinton is becoming a regular visitor to the johnstown area. [laughter] [applause] he was here less than two years ago for jack's 2008 campaign. and we won that one. there is a good chance we're going to win this [applause]

he was here in february for jackpots funeral and he is back again for mark critz and to make sure that mark continues jackpots work. -- jack's work. [applause] jack and bill clinton were friends and golfing buddies. you should hear some of their stories. [laughter] i am especially pleased and proud to welcome back to johnstown and to the 12th congressional district, my friend, jack's friend, and your friend, president bill clinton. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you, joyce and i thank you

marc, thank you ladies and gentlemen. i am here for three reasons. first of all, as joyce said, i'd just like it here. [laughter] [applause] this congressional district voted for me in 1992 and 1996 and all over the district i have been. i got to come back again in 2008 first for hillary and then for jack murtha. [applause] i feel at home here. i have come from morgantown, west virginia where spoke at the commencement for the university of west virginia today and then i came over here and i was thinking that when i come over these hills, i always think i am home. it is like western arkansas where i grew up. i am very grateful to you.

because i truly love jack murtha. he was [applause] and every -- and in every me except when we played golf. [laughter] plastic driver and we were playing at congressional country club one time and i out drove home, we were talking about him being in the water. he was so wound up that he hit over the green and into the water. he was over 60-years old at the time. it is good to have a guy like that on your side. of the most

important members of congress in my lifetime and he delivered for you. he would want us all to be here to make sure that the work he did continues. [applause] the third reason i am here and by far the most important today is that i like mark critz and i think he will be a good congressman. i have another reason to be for him today. you expect his wife and children to show up. you expect his mother to show up. when i started running for president in 1992, my mother was could win. hillary and chelsea were still undecided. [laughter] his mother-in-law showed up. [laughter] a guy you can get his mother-in- law to a political rally -- [applause]

by definition is deserving of your vote. my mother-in-law will be 91 in a couple of weeks and i love her dearly but i realized i knew i when i won my in- laws over. [laughter] what is this deal about anyway? because times are tough and things are up in the air. people are disoriented and don't know what to believe and sometimes they wind up voting for the very thing they do not want. lately. inauguration, this country have already lost several million jobs. before the financial meltdown started in september of 2008,

before then, 2/3 of the american people thoug's after-tax incomes much lower. we did not have enough work. there are lots of issues we can talk about. they all relate to the economy. this country works when we have good infusion of new jobs every five years or so and when it does not, we all get in trouble. the small towns in the rural of america get in trouble first. because there is not enough money circulating in new investments. that is what this whole deal is about. i spent a lot of time -- i spent a lot of time now in the current light dealing with the question that most people in politics do not think about enough. when i was in politics we discussed what the expert what

will you do and how much money are you going to spend on it? right? are you going to raise taxes? there is a third question which is what ever you are going to do and however much money you have, how do you propose to do it to intentions change people's lives. one of the biggest assets that mark critz has and one of the biggest reasons to vote for him is that when jack was in congress, he was the guy that figured out the how question. [applause] how do you propose to solve these problems? there are many people out there with good intentions. if you do not know how to do it or if you cannot figure out or get people around the table or if you figure out how to do

this, then you cannot be this. somebody in congress who is in the howl business. that is what you need. you need somebody [applause] that what they need in washington county is something different than what you need in johnstown. is, it is diverse in its economic challenges. i love what he just said about energy. i love seeing the windmills when i flew in here today. energy demand from mills along. killing if we organize it right. somebody must figure how to do that. i spent a lot of talk on that.

people ask me all over the world to come to their country to how did deusen the faster, cheaper, better. we need to get the government back into the faster, cheaper, better business, figuring out how [applause] so, i think it is important. i also think it's important that he actually keeps score in the wake you should keep score. i listened carefully to what he said. people ask me what i want my vacancy to be. i don't know that. [laughter] there are only three things that matter. if you are in public service. when you are done, all that matters is not the went door to or what they said or what the rhetoric was. all that matters is, our people better off when you quit then when you started.

[applause] do your children and controlled have a bright future and if end together falling apart? all the rhetoric being thrown around doesn't amount to a hill of beans. a lot of what people are feeling now is pure frustration because the ground keeps moving under them. your feet. many people want to stop the world, they want to get off. that is was going on. stop the world, i want to get off. you can't stop it and you can't get off. many of these people are mad and frustrated. forget about politics. think about decisions you make really mad. there's a 80% chance you might mistake.

isn't that right? crop in a cajun community and there was hilarious cajun joke about a guy friend and said, why you have dynamite in your coat pocket? ">> because usually at might now cigar' -- usually i have my nice cigars. [laughter] that is what you get when you make bad decisions. you cannot get off and you cannot stop. we have to make change the friend of the people in this district. we have to make change comfortable and confident for live with all over america.

this is a guy will make good things happen. he knows how to do it. he will not have to have on the job training. he understands how to connect those people in washington with people in johnstown. that is what you made in the congress. [applause] -- that is what you need in the congress. [applause] the biggest thing you have to do now is not just preach. that is the problem with these rallies. i love them but there are very few undecided voters here. undecided voters and on certain outside of here. what you need to do now is to promise yourselves that if you want somebody who can deliver and somebody who will connect

all these issues as they relate to the economy, health care is an economic issue, energy is an economic issue, you are going to have to figure out a way to take the current dioxide out of the ground or put it straight into plant food. they do that in arizona. it is great. they take the carbon dioxide before comes out of the ground and put into algae. they let out clean oxygen you have to be in the house business. you cannot be frustrated or mad. we all need to rolled our sleeves and go to work and do it together. what mark critz will do. [applause]

i feel is so strongly. you need to think of every person you will pass between now and when the polls closed tuesday night. you will pass a lot of people. do not pass them. say something to them. ask them to vote protest them to vote for mark and tell them what is at stake. in the end, all that matters is whether people are better off when you quit that when you started. this is an election that if people think they understand the you, this will have huge ramifications across the country. not only whether mark wins or not but what he is saying in this campaign. i want the democrats, not just the republicans to hear this message. i want them to hear the jobs message. i want them to hear the serve the people message for the want them to hear the practical common sense democratic message.

we all need to hear -- if you do what you can by talking to everybody you can between now and tuesday, the world will hear this message. jack murtha will be up there smiling down. thank you and god bless you all. [applause] tomorrow] ♪

republican relic -- tim burton's spoke at a republican rally in washington, pennsylvania. ♪

>> thank you for coming out today to welcome scott brown and tim burns. the biggest thing that i need you guys to do in welcoming these two fine gentleman to this stage is making as much noise and be as loud and obnoxious as you possibly can be. perfect, that is what i like to hear. let's give it one trial run for when they get here. 1, 2, 3.

>we're going to start things off with the pledge of allegiance. i would like to introduce the chairman of allegany young republicans. [applause] >> this is a beautiful crowd i can't wait to see what would look like after tuesday. thanks for coming and a complete join me in the pledge of allegiance. i, pledge allegiance to the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. to is the chairman of the fire arms against crime committee and he is just behind me here. given a warm welcome as well.

[applause] >> hello america, how are you today? [applause] i am chairman of the fire arms owners against crime very we're fighting for the right to bear arms. we have been working for 25 years. i want to ask each of you a question. you have come here today to celebrate a candidate but i wanted to look into your own heart and ask yourselves, what does freedom mean to you, really. think about it. we are at a crossroads in our country. i ask every candidate that. i continue that more than a few of them of the thousand i have interviewed are stumped by the concept until they really think about it. we don't think about what america stands for. a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the

people, that's you, to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. what is wrong with that statement? think about where it came from. it came from the pennsylvania constitution. the right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be questioned. that is the legacy that each one of you have to protect. i want you also to think that until february of this year, we did not restore the right of citizens to bear arms in national parks like lexington and concord where the british originally came to take the fire arms of americans. how ludicrous it is bad for a congress that swears an oath to the constitution? these are your rights. these are your freedoms. this is why i am here today.

i have to tell you something. i have interviewed lots of candidates. tim burns is excellent on these issues. being a businessman, he knows how to compete. he knows what it means to make our decisions. that is something we need in this secret that is something we have not had for a long time. it is top for individuals to stand up for the powers that be and say gun-control is wrong. if many of you think the gun- control works, i invite you to challenge me. america is full of cemeteries with people in it because government has led to more death and crime. you have been deceived about that. tim burns is not a candidate who will fall prey to that. that is why i am here today.

if any of you know me, if any of you have ever heard of me, you will know how much i believe in the constitution of this united states. i am a marine. my son is an army colonel. he had three tours in iraq. my world was vietnam. i celebrate every veteran that is here today. [applause] 4 tim burns, the oath is not a platitude. for tim burns, the oath is something he believes in his heart and i promise you that you will be voting for a good man. that is the reason that i think all of you need to consider what this freedom means to you.

in this society, we have what is called a push button society. we push a button for our lights, our freedom, our wars, but it takes boots on. the on your boots. remember what the founding fathers said," the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing." it is up to you. it is our country. let's get to work. semper fi. [applause] >> our next speaker is someone you are familiar with. this gentleman is our hope to the next governor of pennsylvania, attorney general tom corbin. [applause] >> good afternoon, everyone. thank you, thank you very much. thank you for coming out on a great day. when you are finished here

today, if you heard the speeches, we don't want you to lose the spirit. what should go out and work. work on behalf of tim and everyone out there campaigning today. we have a primary and a special election. one thing i remind everyone in the 12th district is that you can vote for tim burns twice legally. is important that we do that. when you are in the ballot box, making that a vote. things have changed a bit from two years ago. there has been a message that has been going out there across the nation and across pennsylvania. as i travel pennsylvania, i hear the same message everywhere i go. i will tell you what that message is a nice second. they have also heard it back in 2009 in states like virginia and new jersey where people said -- cent -- said the same message that you are going to say a

moment. i have ordered across pennsylvania as a talk to people in the lackawanna county and erie county, down here in washington and green and everywhere through the 12th district all the way over to philadelphia. that same message is a very simple words --"enough." enough spending. [applause] enough taxation. enough of big government. is a very simple world. -- it is a very simple word. can you say it with me? enough. that is the same thing for this campaign and in november. we need to tell washington and congress what? enough taxation. we need to tell speaker policy enough. we need to tell governor rendell what? stop the taxing, to stop the spending.

reduce our budget. let the free enterprise system work. that is what this is about. you have an opportunity here on tuesday to send tim burns to congress so that he can give them the same amount at -- message which is [enough' c] the citizens of pennsylvania tummy they have had enough. we have to change the dynamic -- the dynamic. we have to make them responsible. we have to reduce the taxes and pennsylvania. have to reduce the taxes across the country. people have had [enough] 72 hours until may 18 to an election that the entire country is watching. you've never been in the focus as much as you are right now.

the country is looking to see whether the message that started in new jersey, then to virginia, and went on when a senator from massachusetts was elected when nobody thought he could be elected and the people up in massachusetts said the same gang which is what? enough. that is so important, to continue the message that senator brown was able earlier this year to be able to grant from the people of massachusetts and taken from washington, to send another person in this congress, tim burns, for him to go down and say," speaker policy, enough." ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. it is time for you to start working. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, general. let's make sure we get out on

tuesday to vote for tom corbin as your next governor. i represent the ninth congressional district of pennsylvania which shares for five counties with the 12th district. i know the people of the 12th district well. i am very proud to be here today. i am here in support of tim burns. we will send a message to washington, d.c. we will send a message to nancy pelosi and the president of the united states and tell them that enough is enough. enough with the spending, enough with the taxes, enough with trying to kill the coal industry in pennsylvania and this cat and the trade bill. --cap and a trade bill. and enough of us apologizing for being americans, apologizing for spreading freedom and democracy

around the world. we are americans and proud of it and we have to make sure we say that every day here in pennsylvania, across this country, and around this world. we have a special guest with us today. i want to remind you that the first big ups set was in virginia. we won the governor's in virginia several months ago. [applause] then, nobody thought the republicans would win the governor's in new jersey. low and behold, the shot that was heard around the world in massachusetts. scott brown won the senate seat [applause] he won the senate seat that belongs to the people of massachusetts, not to the kennedy family and not to the democratic party. [applause] on tuesday, in the 12th district of pennsylvania, we will send another shot around the world when we elect tim burns to

represent the 12th district of pennsylvania. [applause] i have to remind you that you have to vote twice on tuesday. you have to tell your friends and family that you have to vote for tim burns and the special election and vote for tim burns in the primary election. i will repeat that. you can vote twice on tuesday for tim burns. maybe only time in your life you can do that legally. it is so important that tim burns gets elected to congress in this special on tuesday and wins the primary because that momentum will carry him through to the november election and that will carry the republicans threw to the november election to re-take the house in washington d.c. and will send another message to nancy pelosi and president obama. remember, twice, i cannot say enough. the special election and the primary election, tim burns. it is now my great pleasure to introduce to you the guy we will

send to washington to send that message to nancy pelosi and barack obama, the guy they grow up in johnstown, pa., the guy that was educated at indiana university, and the only person in this election that traded -- decorated 400 jobs in western pennsylvania. [applause] our next congressman, tim burns. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. thank you, thank you. it is fitting that we have this rally here today because it was a little over a year ago that i stood on these very steps in from this podium at a tea party i helped organize. [applause] i don't know if you remember that but it was pouring down rain in we had 2000 people there.

i put that together because i was concerned about this country. i was concerned about the out of control spending, the unprecedented deficits, and the budget -- the out of control budget deficits. we had an $800 billion stimulus package. it was not long after that i spoke to the tea party and got a great response. i was asked to speak at another. i was asked to speak at another. i felt compelled to do more. i was asked to run for congress. i got in this race because i believe this country is in a fight for its very life. i believe that if we do not make major changes quickly that my children will not have the same opportunities i had. i got in this race quite simply because i know that i would not be able to look like kids in the eye if i let them grow up and tell them that i did nothing. i think we all have a responsibility to do whatever we can to help turn this great nation around. our forefathers gave up their

lives. they gave up their fortunes to give birth to this great nation. i think the least we can do is give up our time and energy to save it. that is what all of you are doing here today. [applause] since i got in this race, nearly one year ago, have things gotten better in washington,no. government is bigger, deficits are bigger, and washington is going down the same road of bigger, higher taxes, bigger government, and out of control spending. that is why this race has now received national attention. this race is literally a referendum on the obama-policy agenda. one week from now, nancy pelosi and barack obama will set one of two things. there will either be saying don't worry, we can get back to

our liberal agenda. scott brown was an anomaly. or, a week from today, they will say, oh my goodness, this conservative movement is for is [applause] -- is for real [applause] and we are not going to be able to move forward on our liberal agenda. i will tell you that i think america is on the wrong track. i know you think america is on the wrong track. let me ask you a few#r.ñuqáurjj@ about this administration. do you think we should be going around the world bowling to our enemies and apologizing being alone superpower? [no] do you think we should tell our enemies that we will not use nuclear weapons? do you think we should let the government takeover of the greatest health care system in the world?

i don't either but my opponent does the passing of the health care bill i believe was the ultimate insult to the american people. here we have a bill that congress did not write, they did not read, they did not understand, and yet they passed it anyway against the will of the people. i believe that this year we will begin to take the steps necessary to take back this country. i believe that it will start with scott brown and the next step will be me in this election. [applause] i can tell you that even with all of america's problems, even with all the challenges we face, i see great reason for hope. i will tell you why. there is one thing that barack obama has done very, very well. he has managed to motivate and mobilize millions of americans

from all over the country. he has got them to get up off their couch and into the street and stand up to washington and tell the government that we are not going to take it anymore. [applause] it really comes down to if i can get elected. [applause] the experts are asking me if i could get elected. can a long-shot candidate, a guy who drives a pickup truck, a long-shot candidate running in a district with a 2-1 registration disadvantage, running against -- running for a seat that has been long held by an entrenched incumbent of the other party for over three decades? can i win this seat? [yes] can a long-shot candidate, a guy

who drives a pickup truck win an election in a district that has a 3-1 registration disadvantage, run for a seat that was long held by an entrenched incumbent of the opposite party for over three decades? [yes] i have news for barack obama and nancy pelosi -- yes, we can't. [applause] , yes we can. [applause] it gives me great pleasure to introduce you the man who started it all and a man who proved that no seat is safe, senator scott brown. [applause] >> thank you so much. it is great to see what great to be back in washington. [laughter] you know what the differences

between this washington and the one i just love this morning? the people here are split or visit our second tired of the overspending "over taxation, the out of control deficit spending and in washington, they just keep printing money. that is the difference. about their kids, their grandkids, they're great gams kids, how they will repay that debt to china. and to the other countries that are financing the things we like to do. how will we deal with terrorism and terrorists. should we treat them as ordinary criminals? should we treat them as enemy combatants? should we enteric get them? --jpg should we interrogate th? i asked to come and help tim burns. somebody who is an outsider and not beholden to special interests who is an independent thinker and will be an independent voter in the other washington.

yes. somebody who and i need to get something done and a bipartisan way, to bring something to the house of look out for the interests of massachusetts but for the interests of western pennsylvania and the entire country, i want to make sure that i have somebody i can trust, the will work every single day while he is in the other washington, looking out for your interests and your wallet and your pocketbook and make sure you can keep that money in your pocket. i can tell you that being there for almost four months, the out of control spending is real, the lack of accountability for people looking out for the things that are important to reach everyone of you, to israel. -- it is real. you have a chance to send a message to washington to say that you have had enough. we have had enough. [applause]

this is not just about republicans. this is about good people whether they are democrats, independents, republicans who are just tired of the business as usual, the same old stuff in washington, the lack of accountability and listening. the way that they take over industries and the printing of money, the way we are not listening to the things we key -- we care so deeplyhkú about. imagine being in a business and having a nice life and say that i will do something better and redirect my life and focus on making a difference. that is what i felt almost 15 years ago when i first got into public service. i was upset about a school issue in my hometown and i decided to run to do something about it because my wife was so tired of listening to me complained. so, i did, and i want it and i continue to fight each every day as site know tim burns well. [applause]
