. >> to ba a majority party you have to you have to allow for disagreements on some issues but that is why i try to talk about how we get to the core principles that unites republicans. reagan said if you agree with somebody 80% of the time that somebody wanted your party we have to be respectful in our disagreements the intermountain west, trust me has so many different issues than you have in the midwest just on the environment better complete the different and the northeast a lot of the things that you do with farming issues they are different kinds of farming issues you would have and other parts of the country and we have to understand the differences but the core principles that i talked about with limited government and being fiscally responsible along with personal responsibility and caring about our communities come with those things getting back to the constitution that is a conservative is some that is attracting the moderate republicans, conservative democrats, independents come back to make a majority party again. if those that say we should moderate meaning more governmen

and here in the college world series, six hits in nine at-ba at-bats. >> squares again, takes another one outside. >> i'd still like to see him square around full. he's reading the pitch, and then going into the attempted bunt. he should be right on top of the plate. so if the ball's inside he can getm hit by it. bases loaded, no outs. if the ball's away, he extends his reach. but to give aof half square and try to dart at the ball, you're setting yourself up for a foul ball down the third base plien. >> here's the 2-2. got the bunt down. boy, what a job by warman. gets in the hole 0-2. continues to try to bunt. finally gets it down, and he's got the winning run 90 feet away for the top of the order. what a job. >> he did a great job. he got an easy pitch to bunt. and a high fastball. it's right down the middle. he did a good job. left-handed pitcher going to have a tough time. he might have been 6 for 9, and come into this game late andd strikeout. but against the left, he got it done. >> now they're going to walk cannonve to load them up so they can have the force play. so iott will

balances have shrunk and many countries are trying to stimulate their own economies. not to mention the fact that other democracies in the world are also in the market, borrowing huge amounts of money. so we have to be very, very cognizant that the ability of the united states to move forward and buy the time for health reform to begin moderating the growth of cost is limited. and what this means is that, i think, the cbo cost estimates and the debate around the spending in these programs is critically important to our future. now, i realize that this message has not been very uplifting and it's very hard to try and extract the silver lining from this dark cloud. but cognizant of the fact that uwe reischauer, where is he, will appear later and regale us in one way or the other, i thought i might end with a little humor even though it be-gallows humor. what do i do? this is to make the point that fiscal futures can change both up and down dramatically in very short periods of time. when i

that's not because of their single-payer health care system but the government did what the ba does this this country, negotiate drug prices on behalf of 38 million consumers and directly negotiate the drug prices on behalf of them with the drug industry and got price savings of 50, 60, 70, 80%. the mccain approach is the right approach in cost savings that are so important will be contributed to this bill if we pass the mccain language without the weakening language. i would add those same kinds of cost savings we can see in the biologics section of the bill later. when we do a generic, we know how generic drugs have cut the costs of chemical pharmaceuticals. we also know the same process and biologics will save some $10 billion over ten years plus, way more than that. that is a good score. senator gregg is always concerned about the score keeping the costs down. this is one element of doing that. senator mccain's language, not to be weakened by the cochran pharma language as senator mccain suggested, and coupled with what we can do in biologics and other things. i think it will bring p

a very radical leader who's ba-ja sat with me why don't you have elections. let the political parties operate in the fatah. let us hold local elections. whoever gets elected can run the place. it'll be like the rest of pakistan. why do you treat us like an internal colony? and, of course, the standard american response to that is, if we do that, the radicals will get elected and then the radicals will end up owning it but this guy was a j.o.y. politician and in the very next election they got trounced by the secular nationalists so i don't think it's a done deal that the radicals are going to get elected. the only thing that i can think of that we could do to increase the chances of radicals getting elected would be to keep on striking them with drones. >> trudy? >> thank you. trudy rubin. can we make progress in afghanistan without first making progress in pakistan, which was a question that several senators asked general petraeus this morning. and can we make progress in pakistan if the pakistani army continues to really reject the idea of a counterinsurgen

we would like to see more ba talls, more afghan army in the south so our people can partner with them. that's our process. the afghan army probably needs to grow some to be able to do that, or more immediately, there needs to be some realignment of the afghan national army so more of their forces are in the south. we're working those things and we have a high level of optimism that between the most recent directives and general crystal going in, we're going to see these things come to pass. i shouldn't stop talking about afghanistan without giving a tip of the hat to the british. they have been operating primarily in the south, operating out of bases another canned harr and bastion and they have been magnificent in absorbing our forces, the early detachments, if you will, that provide for the follow-on of the main force and even the main force in joining them in locations that already have a level of infra -- infrastructure to allow us to build our own and be much more effective on a much more rapid basis. another issue that we have felt in afghanistan is that we and our army brethren

and to hold this entire bill and this office hostage ba to the a desire to change abortion law, i think is unfair. i scrupulously avoid it and the committee democrats scrupulously avoided any effort to change that law in the other direction and i think it is wrong to be trying to hold this bill -- hijack that bill -- this bill to hold it hostage for those purposes. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman sshas one and a half minutes remaining. the gentleman from california has one and a half minutes remaining. mr. berman: i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the question son the amendment offered by the gentleman from california. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. smith: i ask for a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from california will be postponed. it is now in order to consider agent number two printed in part c of house report 111-143. for what purpose does the gentleman from --

public need to know drifter gets far more important for people to understand that when that is given no ba day day of reckoning. >> mr. speaker, i'm going to document or he has always stood by the armed forces of his country when we have been in conflict and i appreciate he holds strong views about the issue. i just have to say to him that while the inquiry is done public, in private the report will be fully published that we will be able to debate in the south. people will be able to see for themselves what conclusions are drawn by this inquiry. at the same time, as i said to this house earlier, i would ask the inquiry that the published information other than all information other than the most sensitive of the military and security information. this house will have a chance to debate a fully comprehensive report that covers eight years and covers all issues for the run up in the aftermath of this conflict. in tonight on the communicators a discussion on how digital media copyright policy and google are affecting the publishing industry. our guest is richard sarnoff of the media company.

final exam, a student who's@@bas out to be a bit of a cad pressing his business card on the pretty young women in england that walk by. you say to this simple buddhist monk and i quote, he had been more appealing when i knew nothing at all about him and was free to project all of my hopes, my accumulated fairy tales upon him. you could be writing about the dalai lama in that task and perhaps you are trying to write about someone who is up on a pedestal. is there the danger that the more you learn about them and the more you find out, though more you are disillusioned and wish you left the subject alone and you could have left the dalai lama up there in the pedestal in the mind of readers or do you feel it's important to examine what is on the pedestal? >> i think it's important to examine because his favorite herbs or explore, investigate, research and analyze the you are right i did have that apprehension and i thought i've known him 25 years and i have had a good impression. maybe if i go deeper i will see some discrepancy or smudge or shadow and wish i hadn't seen it and i was surpris
