the hope that the u.s. involvement will do that -- i am not sure they will lafollette the effect that afghans hope, but that is certainly the idea. host: what did it take to get this all together? we read a quotation from ryan crocker, but what is your sense? guest: it took many things. i think it really began kind of in earnest when ambassador crocker are rife last summer and began to focus in a sort of a very concerted way of getting -- and has been almost a year, although not quite, that he has been working on it. there has been an enormous you heard about in "the new york times" and elsewhere, that president karzai does not have trust in americans, not only because of night raids with civilian casualties, but also a feeling that the americans did not like him, said one thing to him and other things back in the states, a feeling that he was pushed into having a runoff in the 2010 presidential election, which he felt he had won. it was an embarrassing, humiliating moment for him. he had enormous deficit o

the church rests in the location where the historic church was in the civil war. it is of a different period of construction. the church that was here was a crude log cabin like this reconstruction. there was a population living here, maybe 200 people at any one time inhabiting the plateau in these farms that made up the shiloh community. and they had places of worship which is what shiloh meeting house represents. it also represents one of the missing components from the cultural landscape here on the battlefield. and that is there are over 70 structures like this cabin here. on the landscape, when the battle occurred. all of them for the most part fell victim to the battle. we only have one structure on the battlefield that dates to the battle, on a different portion of the battlefield. and you can get a sense that the battle's footprint here on the church property, because artillery position here, stride the corinth road infantry regiments off to our left front, more markers up in the cemetery for second day battle action. ground zero for the battle of shiloh.

the second purpose of the sefa program is to double the rate of efficiency around the world, and the third is to double the rate of penetration of renewable energy around the world. three basic goals, and those will be i think adopted and picked up and become part of the program of action, and one of the major outcomes of rio, and that in turn will be translated into the discussions through the development of the mgd. so it's a very, very important time in terms of the history of the u.n. come a very important time in terms of ban ki-moon's own administration, and a very important time for the world's development, its own development agenda, this second phase of the mdg. the final point, this is not by itself a climate issue. rio is not specifically about climate change, but obviously we can deal with climate change unless we do with a number of the building blocks along the way in energy and even with energy and energy efficiency and renewables is a major building block for an eventual climate agreement. so maybe that's a useful kind of outline for getting us going, as to where all

the one on the right had things for the garden, the yard, and the little fire engine. and then on the left, particularly because i'll show you an interior in a while, is the original west terrace, which the west wing is now at end of. it was an l-shaped thing. and on top of it, if you can see it, is the green house. which was moved from another location in the grounds when the treasury building was expanded. so that was relatively new when lincoln went there. and it was the old orangery they called it had built quite a collection of palms and fruit trees and things like that. the purpose of these things was fruit trees in the winter when people were sick for juice. but it became more of a conservatory with that little connector between -- and it was summertime in the winter. and the family particularly loved it, particularly mrs. lincoln liked to go there. and she got in some trouble there too. so you see the house is a full three stories on the south. on the north, it's two stories, because it's on the edge of a bluff or a ridge that runs clear to the capital. so you

there is no way all the drilling in the world, all the pipelines in the world, will bring down the price of gas. guest: than what are you suggesting? that we continue the moratorium on deepwater drilling in the gulf of mexico? that we do not drill off of the outer continental shelf? that we do not open up the public lands? of course, not the national parks. to increase drilling? that we continue the moratorium on the keystone xl pipeline? that we do not go after the reserves in alaska? that would be up to $2 billion -- 2 billion barrels per day. is that what you are suggesting? we have been criticized, the congressman before me, and myself, that these do nothing congressman, that even when jimmy carter was president back in the late 1970's, that we have just ignored one crisis after another. are you suggesting that we simply do nothing because if we increase domestic production we will somehow seep into the global market? that does not make any sense. we are for and will continue to before, we republicans, and all of the above approach, just as we were in 2008, when we stayed here during

>> the big thing as we get toward the end of the year will be the tax rates. all the income brackets go up. >> taxmageddon. >> and there is an election going on, so this is not an easy time for things to get done. we will see toward the end of the year republicans tried to force a lot of votes on tax rates, corporate stuff, individual stuff, trying to get democrats on the record for supporting higher taxes. that will be a big thing. >> back up. get them on the record supporting higher taxes. this is a show trial, right? >> it is also a way for republicans to lay the groundwork for the rest of the year. they want to show what they support, which is important for them, as they go to this taxmageddon. there is not much moving. it is almost may. we have until november for the elections. they have to fill the time, which is always interesting. on capitol hill, there are always interesting things to fill time with. that will be what we pay attention to. obviously, the election is huge. i would be interested to hear what cantor says about this. >> you had a story, "y

when read through the prism of the biassed attitudes of the prevailing society of the day. if we relied upon commonly held beliefs, blacks had no role in the history of life in lafayette square except as slaves or subser vichvient beings forever living in the background of the community. while i have skimmed the surface of the facts gleaned to date, it is clear that we have failed our citizens by neglecting on recognize the achievement of people like the wormleys, cooks and others, who in their daily lives fought every day for the advancement of all people. my sincere gratitude to the white house historical association for recognizing that people of color did more than live lives of servitude and rebellion but strove and achieved very significant accomplishments, not because of their color, but in spite of that god given gift. thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

the first was the man who actually built the ship he was the mayor of belfast and was the most honored irishman. to his cousin as was common in those days a giant of a ship builder control the largest shipbuilding operation in the british empire and he was the man behind the curtain in the story of the wizard of oz. he was controlling every one. at that time the traffic across the north atlantic was incredible. the immigration rush was on. about 2 million people a year were crossing the ocean and there was a jolt going on because the ship building is a fragile industry and they built ships when business is good and they built too many and business was bad kind of like what just happened in our own economy they negotiate the deal with jpmorgan to sell the store line of which he was a shareholder and convince the president of the white star line that this was a good idea. this is the reprehensible character when they left titanic she was the one with a mustache and got into the last lifeboat leaving the ship. the son of the founder of light star, he was often mistaken for arrogance that

a lot of the work is outside the scope and outside of the timing of the permit. my third point is about the removal of hazardous materials. neighbors have conversations with the contractors. we had questions about asbestos and lead. we were assured there was no asbestos in the building. subsequently, after this appeal was filed, there was asbestos testing and there is. there had not been any testing done before. the house was netted with a black netting. if the homeowner ask me if i had any concerns and i pointed out that there was a 12-inch gap all the way up the side of the house. i was very concerned about lead, having gone through similar remodel in my house. he assured me that would be sealed the properly before any further work was done. i came home from work to days later, and half of that exterior wall was gone already. there was no lead testing done or notification done on that either. during the demolition process, the contractors dumped things into the backyard. it seemed like it was a very haphazard, it did not look like there was any effort to contai

rose: just for the benefit of the odd yen, where is the green line. >> the green line is the line, israel's original line whence it was found in 1949 as opposed to the west bank that it took in 1967. in the west bank, palestinians are barred from citizenship because they are not jews. and thus you have in the west bank a kind of an adjacent nondemocratic israel, next to the original democratic israel. >> rose: you suggest in the book that the outside world ought to treat the nondemocratic israel and the democratic israel as two separate entities in terms of the way it has negotiations and commercial relationships. >> yes. i mean the two are intertwined but i think we need to reinforce that distinction. because my greatest fear is that settlement growth on the one hand and israel's critics on the other are coalescing around a one state solution. israeli is creating a one state solution with settlement growth and it's harsh critics are saying aha!, we'll take that whole one strait and turn it into something other than a jewish state. and we need to reinforce that distinction between israel as

the l creates the learning court to the north. this is a place for children and people walking for the garden can gather for presentations. there is a way that the circulation of the garden beside the building, the building is much more transparent than where they are now. you can walk by and get a sense of how plants are grown. it is an aunt -- a chance to understand the process of the propagation. the third piece is the shade house, it to the south. it comes down toward the street. it is where the plants ark for developed before they're put out into the garden. it is a steel frame structure. the greenhouse is an aluminum frame structure. both have internal shading systems to help moderate the climate. one advantage of the project and one of the things that came out of our various -- the input from different groups come up through the process, we have less parking family did originally. -- than we had originally. cross between working with the civic design review, the fire department, and we were able to lessen the amount of area

we finally, got the car out of the ditch back on the road and they want us to give them the keys to theforget about it. right? we are not going to do it. thanks, anita. carol is calling from down in -- help me out. mochopoka, obamaalabama? hi, carol. hello, carol. do we have carol? >> yes. >> yes hi, carol. there you are. hi. >> yes. >> is it really -- carol turn your radio down. okay? please? >> yes, sir. i got it down now. >> all right. now. how are you doing? >> glad to talk to you. >> how are things in lochapoka. >> you pronounce it well. >> what do you think about this budget? >> i think the budget is no good. i think ryan is a very right-winger, a right-winger and i am glad the president is staying strong. i want him to stay strong and positive and focus on what he needs to do for our country. i think he is doing a great job and i would like to see him do 4 more years. >> i think he got off to a great start yesterday. i agree with you that paul ryan is a right-winger and he is a right-wiener. we will call him that from now on. >> this is the bill press show. used to be we socked m

the baby's room to the right is fine, the rest of the house got absolutely trashed. we're told most basements -- most parts of arlington didn't have basements but some neighbors went into the basement which saved their lives. one hundred sixty injuries, we're told. they're still assessing that. thankfully, only a few of them seriously. this is a woman we spoke to, we spoke to her husband earlier in the day, this is her kitchen, totally blown out. they were at work and the baby thankfully wasn't here as well. when you see this, what are you thinking right now? >> i can't believe it. i honestly, i'm in shock, you know? i'm glad my baby count here, her room was in tact. i'm happy. >> reporter: it's amazing, it's almost like they cut a line through your house. the baby's room is fine and everywhere has stuff everywhere. >> it's completely gone. things that were in the kitchen i found in my bedroom. it's just -- it's insane. so i -- i -- really, i'm still kind of just in shock. >> reporter: right. good luck with everything and thankfully you guys are okay. i talked to you

to say the least. >>reporter: the u.s. ambassador at the u.n. as the white house spokesman said the united states would take more steps if syria did not comply with kofi annan's peace plan but the pentagon downplayed the expectation of u.s. military s on the hill today. >> the decision is well not have any boots on the ground and well not act unilaterally in that part of the world. >>reporter: that was echoed by former speaker of the white house who said any aid to the syrian rebels who be humanitarian in nature. >>shepard: another thing not works is the u.n. chief and others are calling for u.n. observers in syria. >>reporter: that is right calling for more observers because the u.n. has been touting they did manage to get the syrian regime of assad to agree to u.n. observers but there are only seven u.n. observers on the ground today and they were swarmed by protesters and they demanded they do more to stop the firing by the regime on the protesters and on others. 9,000 people have been killed by the assad regime in the past year, and 230,000

the other side is the contract in issue with the sun company in the hotels, not to mention the charity work directly violates gsa policy. it is in direct violation. the sound contract gets preferential treatment over another company. they get free rooms. the hotel contract was negotiated offline separately so we could have additional food. we did not pay enough for this. this is the kind of stuff that make people in my district furious. they come to our office and say, we're trying to get a federal contract that looks like a sweetheart deal is done for some company and no one can validate it. how we start clearing the deck on this so we have fair competition, whether in gsa or someone else? how do we route this stuff out? >> i believe we have a good oversight process. i appreciate the inspector general is there. it was appalling to me. i felt grateful that someone had the capability to do this investigation. that is a piece of it. as alluded to by some other questions, i think leaving agencies without steady leadership is to lead an agency hanging. although there were able interim admi

the key sticking point has been the unwillingness of the republicans to raise the revenue for transportation so we are hopeful that this matter will be resolved and that it will be resolved quickly. as you can probably see in the agenda, we have a presentation on county transportation authority projects in district 1 and 11. this is a follow up to something that i promised earlier and is important for us to do is that here after the county transportation authority level that we have a discussion about different projects that the transportation authority is funding in the various districts and the first presentation will focus on justice one at 11 and next week we hear on districts to and 10. i would like to thank the staff for their work in making this happen and our hope is that as we proceed with these kinds of discussions that we will have a better better of what is happening on the ground and the different projects that are benefiting our various communities. that is the report and is there any public comment or questions on this? seeing none come out public comment is closed. >> item nu
