a conversation with the then chairman of the republican party, george herbert walker bush. >> george. >> mr. president and the >>. >> i noticed a very -- a couple of very attractive women and republicans in the legislature. i spoke to harry dent about it when he came in to see me the other day. i said, you know, i was rather surprised that they were there. i do not want to go through -- i want you to be sure to emphasize to our people, let's look for some because i think a woman might win in some places that a man might not. >> i will keep it in mind, sir. >> these are to the bureau in the state legislature. they are good-looking and bright, and they are said to be two of the best members in the house. >> that is terrific. host: that is george herbert walker bush. guest: what was the date on that? host: february of 1973. guest: it is there a plan to release that to the nixon library? host: there are another 1400 hours to be released over the next couple of years. guest: there is an abiding fascination because this enigma of richard nixon went from one extreme to the other. there will always

herbert w. small federal building and >> mr. speaker, i yield myself one minute. my friend, my mac ranking member correctly cited a whole series of very important issues that we've and the united states has with the government of iran. she is correct. this resolution, the reason i worked to bring this up on this quick notice, is about what she pointed out at the end of her comments. this resolution is not about a recitation of all those issues. it is about an affirmation of something that this house of representatives has done in places all over the world, whether it is in tibet or cube oa or eastern europe or the middle east or any other region to reaffirm our commitment to stand for certain fundamental, universal principles involving human rights, participatory democracy, and the affirmation of the rights of the people of any country. today is about the people of iran, and with that i reserve the balance of my time. >> we have an impressive lineup of speakers on our side. i would like to start by yielding five minutes to the gentleman from indiana, mr. pence, th

mr. buyer: thank you very much for yielding. herbert hoover in the last century referred to the volste

mr. mcclintock: i thank the gentleman for yielding. madam speaker, when we talk about herbert hoover's mishandling of the recession of 1929, the very first thing that economists point to is the tariff tax that imposed new tariffs on over 20,000 imported products. i believe the waxman-markey bill is going to be looked back at our generation's smoot holly act. it imposes new taxes on a larger number of domestic products on a scale that you hadderly diverts smoot holly. at least you can say it made it more smoothly with imports. waxman-markey hurts domestic products. we, too, were promised an explosion of green jobs a few years ago. instead, california's unemployment rate has skyrocketed to one of the highest in the country. i believe that if this bill becomes law history guarantees you two things. number one, the planet will continue to warm and to cool as it's been doing for billions of years. and, two, congress will have just delivered a staggering blow to our nation's economy just at the time when it's most vulnerable. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman'

mr. speaker, this is deadly serious stuff. this house has just made the biggest economic mistake since the days of herbert hoover. two things are certain if this measure becomes law. first, our planet is going to continue to warm and cool as it has been doing for billions of years. and secondly, this house will have just delivered a staggering blow to our nation's economy wen our economy has been the most vulnerable. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: mr. schiff of california. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? mr. conaway: i ask to speak out of order for five minutes. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. conaway: today is a bad day for america. we just witnessed the passing of a bill that will have dramatic impact on our lives for years to come should it ever see the president's signature. 33:09, the dem cat majority landed on the internet a amendment to the already bloated bill. the bragging of the thousands and thousands of work and hearings and processes that had gone into the development of the bill that was filed on monday left it a little short of the mark. in s

mr. platts: i rise in support of this resolution, recognizing americorps week, which was last month. in 1990, president george herbert walker bush signed the national service act a network of national service programs that engage americans in intensive service to meet the nation's vital needs in education, public safety, health and the environment. in 1993, president bill clinton signed the national community service trust act which established the corporation for national community service and brought the full range of domestic community service programs under the umbrella of one central organization. finally, just a few months ago, president obama signed the latest re-authorization of the corporation for national community service a bill that was developed and passed in a strong bipartisan fashion in both chambers. this legislation builds on the reforms to the corporation started by the previous administration to ensure additional accountability and national service programs this most recent legislation will also help smaller organizations participate in national service and ensure that the unique skills of america
