georgia back then. georgia was on the run almost. the native americans were pushing georgia back. and you were losing a lot of the federal territories because the united states had no army, because it had no taxes. there were no -- the central government, such as it was had no ability to raise taxes, therefore, it couldn't have an army, couldn't defend the frontier, and the trade was going up through canada or going down the mississippi. so these frontier settlers, they had no interest -- well they got to the first settlers, first frontier land ownings, and they didn't want to pay him. got to the second one, there were squatters on his territory who wouldn't leave. and, in fact, he got so mad at them, he cutsed at them -- kissed at them, and -- cussed at them, and they fined him. that's how they treated george washington. and he couldn't get to the third one because the native americans were in the way and he had been warned they were going to ambush him. they had already killed his agent, scalped him and then burned him alive. you don't die with scalping apparently. and this were

georgia is full of food. there is not starvation in georgia. there are southern troops that aren't getting enough food. that has to do with the complete and total mismanagement of the army. it has to do a lot with jefferson davis utter incompetence as president of the confederacy. but it is not because there's an absolute lack of food in the south. it's a question of how you get food from north carolina and georgia and mississippi to the troops. but wirz is in south georgia where food is available. food could have been commandeered, food could have been bought. the local women who wanted to bring fresh vegetables to the starving prisoners in andersonville could have been allowed to bring the food or they could have brought them to the camp and the camp could have brought camp officers and soldiers could have brought them to the prisoners. fresh water would have been obtained in a variety of ways, one of which was to order the troops upstream to stop using this -- the creek as a latrine. the other thing would have been to take a detail of prisoners every day and march them upstream, fill large barrels or buckets of water and bring the water down. prisoners could have marched all day long up and down bringing water, but you would have had fresh water. wirz does not do any of those things. instead he thinks of new ways to harass prisoners and to prevent them from getting basic nutrition and any kin

georgia, mr. allen. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for one minute. mr. allen: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker i rise today in strong support of this keystone x.l. pipeline approval act. you know i think on both sides, all we talk about is creating jobs. for six years this project has been studied, we hear that over and over again. you know, every environmental report has been favorable and in fact the president's own state department says that the construction of this pipeline will create tens of thousands of jobs. at a time when millions of americans are struggling, this is a project that's ready to go. as we said, we have pipelines stacked up ready to put in the ground. this keystone pipeline is not just an important -- is not just important to growing our economy, this project is critical to securing north american energy independence and reducing our dependence on foreign oil. congress has taken action with bipartisan so -- support and finally we will put this priority on the president's desk. i urge the president to listen to the american people who support this project and reconsider his threat to veto this critical legislation. with that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentleman from michigan's recognized. mr. upton: mr. speaker, i yield at this point one minute to the gentleman from georgia, mr. carter. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for one minute. mr. carter: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. chairman. for yielding to me and for the work that you've done on this bill. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of senate bill s. 1, to approve the keystone x.l. pipeline. after what has turned out to be an unacceptable six-year delay by the obama administration. many have stated that this bill is about creating jobs and guess what? they are right. the pipeline would create over 40,000 jobs without a dime of taxpayer funding. helping to put eager american workers out of the unemployment line. approval of the pipeline would also bring down energy costs here at home. lifting a huge burden on hardworking families, small businesses and farmers. moreover clearing the construction of the keystone pipeline puts us closer to north american energy independence to reduce our dependence on oil from foreign sources that are all too often at odds with

it. >> i hate to correct you, lauren, but it is ten. eleven in the city, ten in the airport. that is the measurement we use when we are looking at official records. the record low this was before we had an airport 1889, it was 2 degrees. so far today it is ten. don't think we will get to two but it sure feels a lot colder. we have a 7-mile an hour wind and that makes it feel like one below zero outside right now so dress accordingly as we always say. we have had below zero temperatures in allentown and mount pocono. it looks like we have broken a new record in allentown this morning. but even without a record low it is still very, very cold outside and even with sunshine it will not get a whole lot warmer, we expect a high today of 24 degrees, and a low tonight of 17. so, with a low

the tanker accident from yesterday? the betsy ross bridge ram tops route 130 north, and the route 130 north ramp to gain access to route nine on and route 73. the best tip coming over betsy ross bridge is use the the tipton boulevard exit before the closed ramp there is a dozen on and off ramps in pennsauken so it can be confusing. tipton boulevard is your best bet or to play it safe coming from philadelphia and don't even want to deal with the chance of maybe getting pushed on to the the detour just use the tacony palmyra bridge and you won't have any problems at all, gaining access to route 130, on or route 73. we have a water main break, ramp from 291 to head east on the schuylkill use paterson or packer. bridges are fine mass transit has no delays. chris and lauren back over to

georgia and ukraine would become part of nato. and this, by the way, is what precipitated a large part the war between georgia and russia in august 2008. the russians made it very clear at the time that nato expansion into georgianto ukraine was categorically unacceptable. what has happened since 2008, is relations between the russians and the americans and the west europeans, more generally, have gone south, in good part because of nato expansion. but not only because of nato expansion, also because of eu expansion. furthermor because of the west interests in facilitating the spread of democracy in eastern europe, maybe even in russia itself. because the russians see democracy promotion by the west as basically an attempt to overthrow pro-russian leaders are russian leaders themselves, and put in their place leaders who are pro-western. so the russians are very sensitive about this, therefore it is no accident this whole crisis started last february when there was a coup in kiev where pro-russian leader, yanakovich, was overthrown, with help from the united states. this is something the russians considered to be unacceptable and led to the present crisis. >> i want to ask general wald about how military contra
