and al qaeda -- i think it is no coincidence that ayman of zawahiri and osama bin laden -- i think given their statements, their most nervous about the president's speech because he was trying to bring people over to the american side, to the west cost side, and to make sure these people are isolated would make clear that there is no justification for the slaughter of innocents. he said if you shoot rockets at women and children, you do not claim moral authority, you abdicate it. so i think he was very consistent there. host: one moment from the speech yesterday that lasted just under one hour, 6000 words, including these brief words in arabic. >> i am grateful for your hospitality and hospitality of the people of egypt, and i carry the goodwill of the american people in the greeting of peace from the muslim people of my country. [speaking arabic] host: good morning, tom. caller: good morning to you, thank you for taking my call and thank you very much for c-span. it is easily the most insightful picture into the american political scene, and thoroughly enjoyable. and i believe that bara

not that i drive a cadillacs, ayman oldsmobile bayh and could took that away, too.white is the distance as we have to travel. i will have to follow that up because looking at the map and thinks that have been closed just doesn't make sense and there's district and miles between so they could say it could hurt you in rural areas where there's still loyal customer base i agree plus federal government's guarantee warranties. >> i just want to add one thing, mr. chairman, because of the concerns we've raised today, about one of the other critical aspects of these bankruptcies, that is the responsibility when forward for any products that may be defective and the implications for u.s. taxpayers and the dealers in this room i would strongly urge the committee to take up that issue as well and flush about in more detail. i think it has enormous economic consequences even for people lost their franchise and i would like to explore that in further detail. >> i continue to hear from dealers and also to reiterate i know dr. burgess had to leave, but i know he entered into that

on or about september 21, 2000, an arabic television station televised the meeting of only and ayman zawahiri. sitting under a banner which read, to support rahman, the three terrorist leaders pledged to free rahman from incarceration in the united states. during the meeting, rahman and a son was encouraging others to avenge your sheik and go to the spilling of blood. these are extremely dangerous individuals who would require extraordinary precautions where they be held in a prison while on trial. the court documents i rempsed tonight detail the individuals who are willing to go to set come patriots free. it is imperative that the american people understand that these individuals will not be sent straight to a super max, but held first in a local jail. not only would this put local strains on prison guards and staff, it would require huge expenditures to harden the facilities to the point where they would be secure enough to house high-level threats. people living in virginia will virginia that ma suey's trial didn't take place for four years. a trial and appeals process could take

anyone anywhere working for anyone who has information related to the whereabouts of osama bin laden or ayman zawahiri, we should be doing everything possible to elicit that information. as secretary clinton and secretary gates, general petraeus execute the president's new strategy for afghanistan and pakistan, we should do everything we can to develop a complete picture of where the al qaeda and taliban leadership is hiding. this amendment provides our key state department intelligence officials with every possible tool that they could have to make sure they can offer a reward, even if that person, for example, works for the pakistan i.b. bureau. in the past congress, the house overwhelmingly passed this amendment 419-1 but did not pass the senate. and i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? mr. berman: i ask unanimous consent to claim the time in opposition to this amendment, although i am not opposed. the chair: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. berman: as the gentleman said and i agree with every word that he

when we first saw how this restriction could impede the hunt for the two top al qaeda terrorists, ayman zawahiri and osama bin laden, for a poorly paid official, and there are many who are patriotic good servants in afghanistan and pakistan especially, we ought to be able to offer this reward. this will significantly incentivize the hunt for some of the people who killed the most americans. i urge adoption. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from illinois. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair. the ayes have it. the amendment is agreed to. mr. kirk: i would ask for a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from illinois will be postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment number 20 printed in part c. for what purpose does the gentleman from massachusetts rise? mr. lynch: i have an amendment at the desk that has been made in order by the rule and i ask for its immediate consideration. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment.

and they called vectoring my student teaching and they said we want to send you tishri locka y said ayman spanish speaker, i don't really want to go the sri lanka. they said we will call you back. they call back in said how about malawi? nellius in africa and they don't speak spanish. they called back

. >> shortly after the administration announced this-- >> ayman golding because i haven't been out for a while. >> shortly after the administration announced its new kennison strategy with bruce riedel's white paper k, undersecretary for policy michele flournoy and others promised benchmarks, metra said success. why haven't those cannot yacks? are they waiting for general mcchrystal to craft them? bead i can tell you this. when he and general rodriguez, should the senate confirmed the two of them, go over to afghanistan to undertake the 60 day review of the situation on the ground there, to try to get their feet on the ground, get a ground eye view of what is going on and report back with they believe to be the situation, what they think should the changes in the strategy-- what changes in the strategy should be made and particularly from a personnel standpoint, from a manpower standpoint trying to determine the needs and what can be done to try to consolidate and get the most we can from of resources we have on the ground. the president has authorized as you know, 68,000 personnel. i

>> ayman cold play at dod now so i have ancient history stuff i think actually might be helpful as we think through this. when at&t broke up they said our infrastructure is no longer owned by one company. the country actually said it's a national security priority to be able to work with industry if there is a problem and we have to be able to work across the whole industry that handles telecommunication. so there was an outfit formed after the bay of pigs was a sort of telecom emergency being the national coming occasion system which is part of dhs but after the at&t breakup there was this national coordinating center and it was actually manned by people from all of the telephone companies and by dod people and intelligence people so we actually have full operational entity and still exists. i think the priority has gone down a little because cyber has overwhelmed but we had a model where we could operate very quickly in an emergency and we used it. some 9/11 and was used heavily for instance to try to figure out how to -- the president's priority was safety, you know, rescue people
