there's a kohl olin no vags net worth that is emerging that is connecting the dots between advanced r d, proet owetyping and ultimately production. i thought it would be interesting if you caulk about that how does that play under this federal system. what are the key areas you need to work. >> certainly, when i came into office a year ago, we recognized there was a whole vacuum of samples to all 64 counters and said shs what do you want in the next 20, 30, 40 years. garment, gives than -- we have ak so he is to capital. and their people want to brand colorado as pro. just my fend and neighbors. but that means that we have to hold tours our highest natural fwas. we may reduce the time for pilg b but, we increase the fine. we make sure that doesn't happen. that bottoms-up plan is what's going to help create the choin, which is taking all the vads colorado school of mines, colorado state university, university of denver, and blending them with -- we have 24 federal laboratories, and usually these all work at least in parallel purposes. we bring them all together with our business school

should we be thinking about saying to the states across advanced r and d, across inture, across export policy, across fbis since the states mostly do the direct enforcement. not the government. we want to challenge you to basically come forward to us with your own strategy. most likely the states would have a strategy and then the national government will have a strategy. is that something we should be thinking about given the political fiscal and otherwise? any initial response to that? >> i'm not just saying this, bruce, because you're up here. the next vital -- we should be heading to the state and city level. you'd have a better perspective on who's more open-minded. we've just seen three or four places where there is a huge appetite to actually do this. and when we think about it, it comes back to the world in many way is a congommeration of many cities. it accounts for 60% of the world's growth. if we talk about singapore, you may say they are too small to do this analogy. they do this integration phenomenally well. they think about the forces at work, the jobs of the future. the

competitive, the general proposition, we are also selecting those kind of investments, whether they're advanced r & d, whether they are skilled workers. we talked about 10,000 engineers in a particular period of time. so as you think about tax reform from the state and local level and listening to the national conversation, is it just about the tax code itself or does it also include some of the investment imperatives that we need to make at all levels? who wants to take that? >> our key toward growth, and when you take a look at louisville over the last 18 months between ford motor company and ge, you have over $2 billion of investment into the community and 4500 new jobs. that's big for any city anywhere in the world. and how that came about was the partnership between, obviously, the company's driving it, number one, but the state and local level coming together with tax incentives to make the transition much easier for them. and then frankly, a wonderful partnership between the companies and their organized labor as well, what's basically resulted into a two-tier labor system, compensation sy

there's a colorado innovation network that is emerging that is connecting the dots between advanced rgy, prototyping and, ultimately, production. and i thought it'd be interesting if you could talk about that network that's emerging and how you think state policy plays, um, under this federal system. what are the key areas that you need to work on to buttress and leverage your potential? >> well, we certainly when i came into office about a year ago, we recognized there was a real vacuum of people, they knew they needed to do something about jobs. so we called it the bottom-up economic development process, we went out to all 64 counties and said what do you want in the next 20 years, 30 years, and how do we get there? how can government help? of course, we heard get out of the way, less regulation, less taxes. we also heard that we want the state to be more pro-business. we want an environment that's more pro-business, we want to have access to capital, we want to have stronger innovation technology, we want to make sure that we have training for our work force, and all over the state

it asks for $290 million for advanced manufacturing office to support r&d on materials and processes, to help manufacturers cut costs.

it asks for $290 million for advanced manufacturing office to support r&d on materials and processes, to help manufacturers cut costs. so this is not some stuff 20 years out in the future. we are talking about things that actually can help manufacturers in their factories produce, for example, advanced steels, alloys, lightweight materials, all sorts of things that could help our competitive edge. manufacturing also supports through the does, there's additional manufacturing. this is specifically tied to advanced manufacturing. but if you look within our energy programs, within rpe, and in little bits and pieces in science, but it's mostly in science and rpe, we're also supporting advanced manufacturing through advanced and science supports it through advanced computing. advanced computing means you design in silico, you reduce the number of prototypes and number of design cycles before you actually go into production. this has worked quite well and it is certainly something where we have a big advantage internationally. and again, we're forming coordinating efforts in manufacturing r

reasons why -- actually, it was about 18 months ago we decided to set up a sector called advanced industries, but to get the r & d, to be able to get the capabilities to serve these types of institutions. if you look at the big forces at work in the world moving ahead, we've all heard about the rebalancing of the world towards asia and brazil and africa and so forth. we're talking about the technology grid, the speed of information, the amount of information that's moving, this repricing of the planet that's going on. the -- the demographic challenges with an ageing population. we're going to move from having basically, you know, three retirees for every worker, we're going to end up moving to a situation which doubles that by 2050. so there's all sorts of productivity issues that have come about, major shifts going on. if yu look at, for example, food, which we think will be one of the biggest industries of tomorrow, ag food, the way that we're going to get the ability to feed the 3 billion people and move it is actually through a lot of the advanced industries technology. it's going to be vital. if you look

. $2.2 billion in r&d for advanced manufacturing. it forecasts the deficit of $1.3 trillion by the end of the fiscal year. of course that is receiving lots of criticism already. joining our panel this morning is a chairman of the congressional black caucus, democratic congressman. nice to see you. "national journal" editor ron brownstein has joined our panel as well. let's begin with this, if you will, congressman. what do you think of this? originally you had said for the last budget proposal that you are wildly disappointed. what do you think this time around? >> well, i think the president is attempting to put forth a document that is realistic and addresses the needs we have at the same time. it's not going to be a pretty budget. it's going to probably have some difficulties over in the senate. and it's probably dead on arrival over at the house. but that's because of congress' dysfunctional and we are not going to sit down and try to work around the edges of the budget. i mean, the budget -- presented by the president, he unders

it asks for $290 million for advanced manufacturing to support r and d to help manufacturers cut costs. this is not 20 years out in the future. we're talking about things that can help manufacturers in their factories produce advanced steels, and alloys, like we materials come all sorts of things that could help our competitive edge. manufacturing supports doe'. this is tied to advance manufacturing, but if you look within our energy programs within -- mostly in energy, we are also supporting advanced manufacturing through advanced -- and also signs support to advanced computing. it means you design in silico, reduce the number of prototypes before you go into production. this is working quite well and is certainly something where we have a big advantage internationally. we are forming efforts in manufacturing, r and d, and across. we want to lead in clean energy technology. ed inotto is inventio america, made in america, sold worldwide. $330 million in initiatives to develop next generation technologies that can remain competitive with the rest of the world. it also supports gyatso mo

r and d is cut at 20%. $113 million cut. the request cuts advanced energy systems by 45 million, that's almost half. and it cuts cross cutting research to 19 million, which is 40%. in essence, on the one hand the epa is saying you can't build a new plant because you don't have the technology to burn coal the way we want it burned, and you're saying, but i'm not going to give you the money to find those ways to burn coal the way you would like. help me out here. am i confused? >> well, mr. congressman, i have to say that i am very much supportive of developing those technologies that you speak of that would develop -- be able to use gas and coal in a clean way. we believe that it is very important to develop those technologies not only in the united states but in partnership in the world. coal will be around for a long time and we recognize that. and to those -- i think constable warmike heard me speak about that this morning, how important it is that we continue that research. and part of the issue in the budget was there was a lot of money rescinded in some of the carbon projects that were a partne

it asked for $290 million for advanced manufacturing to support r&d. the materials and process to help manufacturers cut costs. so this is not 20 years down the future. we are talking things that can actually help manufacturers in their factories, produced for example, advanced steels, alloys, lightweight materials, all sorts of things that could help our company's competitive edge. manufacturing also supports d.o.e.'s, there's additional manufacturing, this is specifically tied to advanced manufacturing but if you look within our energy programs within our baby, and a little bits of pieces in science, we are also supporting advanced manufacturing to advance, and also science supports it to advance computing to advanced computing means you design, you reduce the number of prototypes and a number of design faculties before you going to production. this has worked quite well, and it is certain something where we have a good vantage internationally. and again we are forming coordinate efforts in manufacturing r&d across all sides and arpa-e. we want to le

advances in its nuclear program which it instead. peaceful energy practices despite the lets the western sanctions imposed against it. this is the weekly on r c hello and welcome to the program the arab league is calling on the un security council to pass a resolution creating a joint peacekeeping force for syria and also some more international support for the opposition and hopes to pile thought the pressure on the regime or he's a rino going to his from cairo with a plan our body has been meeting syria will probably see u.n. peacekeepers most likely to arrive in the country in order to try and reinstall peace in the country again the arab league was meeting in cairo on sunday took them about eleven hours to come up with a with a d. .

advanced jobs, et cetera. we had those educated people. we were there. we had a rich country. we had r and d. >> thanks for the points, frank. mr. paul? >> frank, first of aushlll, i t you brought up a good point of nafta. i was critical of it in 1983. it promise to do reduce illegal immigration, it promised to create more jobs on both sides of the border and to raise the wages of mexican workers so they could buy more american products. it promised more political stability, and if you look at the reality in mexico, it's clear that really none of that has happened. and, in fact, not only his the united states seeing a lot of production shift to china now, so is mexico, because the race to the bottom, you know, has a long way to go, and even in china you're seeing jobs move from the coast to further inland to china and also to other low-cost countries like vietnam. i think a smarter way to do it is not to have trade agreements that are based on a philosophy of tree trade, but to have them based on results. and trade is supposed to be about an even trade. and it's supposed to be about le

r t london. ten minutes past the hour here in moscow you're watching r.t. iran says that it will soon reveal some major advances in its nuclear program speaking on the thirty third anniversary of the islamic revolution president ahmadinejad said tehran would never stop enriching uranium iran insists its nuclear program is to serve its domestic energy needs of the united states and its allies the e.u. and israel suspect iran could be pursuing nuclear weapons they feared piling up sanctions against iran but where the majority warns that europe's oil embargo will backfire political analysts to come was a name says that washington and brussels want to weaken the islamic republic but fail to see the danger that their actions are creating. they've taken into consideration that iran is going through election parliamentary election probably the thing this is kind of backfire in terms of the population of iran against. america and the european they go in very far because this is kind of an implication for the world economy especially this escalate to a military showdown and everything is going to be on the table all the

advance that. and i thank her for that. i've r cochran. we are hoping to offer an amendment that will make it clear that we need to work with the local governments as we look at how the transportation enhancement funds are being used. let me tell you another opportunity that i think we could have in consideration of this bill, and that deals with our veterans. there is a way that we could use the training that veterans receive while in military service to help when they come back here as far as truck drivers are concerned, and we're looking at for an amendment in regards to that area, where we could advance that issue. so there are many areas in this bill that we think are extremely important to advance our needs. it's a bipartisan bill. we've got to get this done. senator boxer is on the floor, and once again i just want to compliment her for her patience and leadership to work through each of these issues. we are looking forward to a robust debate on the floor of the senate. i hope that members who have amendments will allow us to procee

american worker, advancing higher education, certainly looking at pre-k through 12, and providing the career path opportunities. now, i mention that because the employment linked investments in r&d, brinning back r&d here, where research is, is where manufacturing follows. so i mentioned that, i use the example of wynn kents, it's a recent example and worth mentioning. wynn kethskents in new york state in my district, i use that as an example, in order for kents plastics to compete effectively in the global marketplace, they kneed to move to an automated portion of their assembly operations. they worked with the local higher ed infrastructure, and we have partnerships in this country that have existed far long time, there's an intellectual exchange of creative genius coming from campus, from private sector, from public sector, it happens. it happens to a great degree. while they developed this automated assembly process for his industry, they also needed to train the workers on this new equipment. so that it brought with it an employment link. and did that through one of the local community colleges, did an reform p.i. automation design and then did a hudson valley community c
