but ab-32 legislation caused them to abandon that contract. the replacement power that they acquired literally doubled their electricity costs. so when economists warn that we can expect electricity prices to double under the cap and trade bill, i can tell you from the bitter experience of my district that that is not some future prediction, that is an historical fact. . governor schwarzenegger assured us that it would mean an explosion of new green jobs, the same promises we heard on this floor today. in california, exactly the opposite has happened. we lost so many jobs that the economic forecast is now using the d word, depression, to describe california's job market. mr. speaker, the cap and trade bill proposes what amounts to endlessly increasing taxes on any enterprises that produce carbon dioxide or other so-called greenhouse gas. we need to understand exactly what that means. it has profound implications for agriculture, construction, cargo and passenger transportation, energy production, baking and brewing, all of which produce enormo

well, for example, when the bank started down cbo abs business which is taking chunks of mortgage debt either through the actual tangible loans or increasingly toward the end through the derivatives of those loans there was a number of occasions where internally the jp morgan investment bank tried to work out why the competitives were making more money than him. and there was a huge debate on a number of occasions about whether they should do the same. should they dash down that route with a bshcbo and they kept wor number unless you take crazy risk. and they said no. and to say no was amazing because everyone was dashing down that route very fast. and other people were dashing down that road even in late 2006 when there was already evidence that the u.s. housing market was starting to turn, i mean, that's one of the astonishing things so much of the crazy risk-taking and crazy breaches of normal controls occurred even when there was evidence that the subprime mortgage market was starting to turn sour and mortgage lending was starting to go bust. >> as an armchair economic theorist i s

ab designation of north korea as a state sponsor of terrorism would not result in any new material penalty since many of the activities we are talking about are covered under other sanctions applied to north korea under other provisions of u.s. law. including proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the means for delivering those. >> it does send a message to them and the world and highlights what we know has been going on, what continues to go on. there is little doubt as i look through this report, whether it is supporting activities of the revolutionary guard or material support to the taliban, militants in iraq, serious provocation. it seems we are holding our punches by not calling it what is. my encouragement would be for us to take this seriously. when we take them off the list, we rewarded bad behavior hoping to create good behavior and we got worse behavior than we ever had before. it makes no sense to continue with this and it amplifies a growing sense that americans are a paper tiger, full of talk and no action. it appears that this is one of the few things we could do a

abe was just one speech. it does not replace all the hard work that will have to be done. that was done before the speech and will have to be done in the years to come in order to solve what has been a 60-year problem. i am under no illusions that would ever statements i have put forward somehow are going to supplant the need to do that work. i think that what is different now is number one, you are seeing a u.s. administration and an american president engaged this issue almost on the day that i took office. we have only been in office five months. and yet we have seen extraordinary activity already on this issue. and that has sent a signal to all parties in the middle east that we are serious. i have assigned george mitchell, my special envoy who has met repeatedly with all players in the region, and who will be going back next week in the wake of my appearance in cairo to follow up with each of the individual parties on a whole host of negotiation points. and potential confidence- building measures that can be taken. i have already met with prime minister it netanyahu.

it's a flagship program for the atlantic council and i want to think saab, ab and the ambassador, a board member of the atlantic council for the support of this series. i'm also delighted with the turnout today which says a lot as well about the popularity of the series now. admiral, i do have to mention one thing. some people ask me why is the atlantic council floating its boat in the pacific? the answer is pretty simple. it's a matter of history. it's a matter of mission. and it's a matter of reality. there was before the war a very famous ambassador by the name of u. alexis johnson, quite legendary ambassador to japan. after the war when the atlantic council was founded he was one of the founders. he and dean atchison another one of the founders were very clear that the world was round. and that the atlantic council had to recognize that much earlier than most transatlantic organizations. so that's the history. number two, there's the mission. the mission of the atlantic council's renewing the atlantic community for 21st century global challenges. it's why we've had a long successful a
