talked with her, told her that i was thinking of doing that, the second person i touched base with was floyd. surprising probably too many of you, but we never discussed the assassination with each other. after the assassination occurred, there was no trauma counseling precocious an awful lot of work to do. so we were left to do the work. and our working life was 60 hours a month over time on average. i think i calculated it out. we made up $1.80 an hour, and we just were constantly working. and you would work and the only way you could relax is take an hour or two after you got off and spend time relaxing or drowning down with the agency were working with. so we just somehow kind of swallowed our emotions. we got wrapped up in the new president, and we had no idea what impact it was going to have on us, the rest of our lives. they were to agents that i talk to, but they told me they did want to participate. and one was jack reed. and it great deal of empathy for jack because he was on the president's side of the automobile. and when he heard the first retort, he turned around and looked up

i have businesses in my district, floyd mcneily in my district in fort worth, runs a diesel rebushing be -- refurbishing plant puts new life into them and because of constraints can't sell them in this country but is able to sell them to countries in central and south america. they continue to perform good works both in trucks and boats and other mechanical applications. because of the long life of diesel engines, this program is indeed a reasonable one because it does reduce the diesel emissions from those engines that have been in use and provided gainful employment for a long period of time. i am pleased the authorization was reduced. i am pleased that section 3 of this legislation before us authorizes a general accounting office study as to whether or not the law or authorization is necessary even going forward into the next period of authorization. it's important to make certain that this legislation stays on the right track. of course as with many things in washington, this legislation is supported by a broad coalition of environmental, science based public health industry and s

step right up, floyd. >> with your permission, three related questions. one, did any of the publications pay wikileaks for any of the material? secondly -- >> let's just answer -- is that true? do you know? >> to my knowledge, the answer is no. i don't think any of the ones we've been dealing with have paid.
