i mean, i had the good fortunate to work with two republicans, howard baker and bob dole, who workedconstructively over the last 18 months to come up with a bill they endorsed, similar to the plan we have in front of congress today. i think in part, we have a much more rigid, more ideological party than we had before. and i think that's been playing out for the last couple of years. >> i can say exactly the same thing the other way. this is a very dogmatic, i'd logically committed democratic party. the leaders decide, we have the votes. we're going to ram it through. we are going to ram it through the house, one republican vote. and through the senate, and in the final analysis, no republican votes. there was no effort to make this a bipartisan bill. there are good parts of this bill that could have been passed in pieces. everybody agrees there needs to be insurance reform. there's other areas i think they could have come together. in may of last year, there was a republican effort to reach out and say let's sit down and see if we can come to agreement on a number of things. and we'r

similar to the bipartisan bill that senator dole and senator daschle and senator mitchell and senator baker, all former democrats and republicans, supported. it's very similar to the bill republicans advocated in '93. and if you look at mr. frum's piece, former bush speech writer, he noted-- which is something some of the things i've said before and others-- that this is very similar to policies advocated back in the '90s by republicans. not individual policies, the basic approach, which is a free market, market-based system approach. >> lehrer: is it true that as some published reports have said that you advocated actually going a little bit slower, a little smaller for health care and not go for the whole nine yards as the president ended up doing, the democrats? >> yes, first of all. >> lehrer: you did advocate? >> i said that a job of the chief of staff is to provide the president with a sense of options and to weigh those equities. and it's his strength is that he wanted that, looked at that and it was one of the things that he said thin this is why i think it's so important to spend t

james baker came in that same night. maybe he -- i think he came in after the -- the reagans. c-span: what was sally and lee's relationship at the end? >> guest: at the end they were together at the finish line. they had resolved a lot of their -- their problem areas and... c-span: you say there was a time that lee atwater wanted to go through a marriage ceremony with brooke vosberg there at the hospital. >> guest: they had a little wedding, a little marriage ceremony in the chapel at the hospital, yeah -- somewhat symbolic. and but eventually lee separated himself from brooke and she was not at the funeral. c-span: in the back you have this picture of the grave site. where is this, by the way? >> guest: that's in columbia, south carolina. c-span: and you can't see it here in the photograph, but we've transferred it to a picture so that people on the screen can see it. and that's what it looks like there and -- 1951 to '91, you say he was just a little bit over 40. and you say, 'teacher, leader, husband, father, son,' and then it goes into the republican creed. and we can put

bill: a disevment lin baker, mary baker, brittany dur religion, scott matthews, greg sullivan, maximilian updike and mina sharma. and i ask consent, mr. president, that jim kineely and roshat guthren, both detailees, be granted floor privileges throughout consideration of this bill. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. rockefeller: is it the order that the senator from texas will have the floor? if not -- the presiding officer: there is no order to that effect. mr. rockefeller: business as usual. the presiding officer: correct. mr. rockefeller: i yield proudly to the senator from texas. the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mrs. hutchison: thank you, mr. president. i want to thank the distinguished chairman of the committee, and i want to say, as the ranking member of the commerce committee, that i believe this f.a.a. reauthorization bill is a very good, solid bill. it is very bipartisan, and we have worked through many of the sticky issues that have held up the long-term extension of f.a.a. reauthorization, i think, in a bill that most everyone on this floor will suppor

i ironically remember it because i was with secretary baker at the time so i get the book from the other side. the other part that is important, this again i think is important changing nature of the bretton woods institutions. we've designed this request as part of a larger financing package. and what's most striking, if you think about the developing world area where there is question of, whether you have liberalization in some of the growing developing country markets or if you think about the meeting in copenhagen where there is big question about sharing the question of low carbon growth, we're putting together a package where 50% to maybe 2/3 of this will come from the developing world. so this is really emphasizing the mutualty of this institution. part of this is the question we raised prices once and we're looking at another price change related to maturities but another aspect is we're combining this with change in the voice. we're moving up some shares for developing countries where they will have to pay for those shares. one other aspect i'm very appreciative of willingness o

commissioner baker said, some of the policies of the u.s.ernment like that management issues and the governance of the internet should be left to a non-governmental body. this has worked quite well. what has me the internet so robust and lawless and it is positively chaotic in a constructive way. i think we need to be cautious before we venture into this area. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> the chairman of the energy and commerce committee, mr. waxman, is recognized for five minutes. >> before i begin my statements, i would like to correct a statement that broadband has never been regulated under title two. dsl broadband was a title to the service until august 2005 when the commission moved it to title 1. i like to ask questions about the plan's recommendations regarding the nationwide interoperable broadband network for public safety. all parties agree that the problem of interoperable the needs to be resolved. it seems like there's a strong disagreement on what we should do with the block. in your february 25th remarks, you emphasize the d

he did it by reaching out to the minority leader, senator baker. he did it by basically traveling to panama and preclearing the amendments that would allow those treaties to be ratified with the panamanian government. hard-working majority leaders who know how to play the game can operate very successfully in the united states senate under its rules, whether they were the old rules before 1975 or the new rules after 1975. i hear the comments on holds. i'd like to point out what a hold is. it's a letter. it's a letter directed to the leader of your party saying that you have a certain range of options with regard to something that may come up. those letters are very valuable to the leaders. they keep calendars in which all of those holds are marked so that they know what it is they will have to face when they want to go to something. it doesn't stop them from going to it. it gives them information. but those holds are a reflection of the enormous power of united states senators. and my view is that's the reason people leave the house of representati

baker's dozen falling to the pacers 99-82.e. >>> ron, well the day starts with the drama between andray blatche and flip saunders of the question is if andray did what the kech said he did the night before and didn't want to play why does he start this game tonight? boykins i think that's what ear trying to figure out, did that actually happen. flip said he did do that and if he did that, that makes no sense. i think if something like that take place, you can't just sweep it under the rug and say everything's okay you're going to start tonight. flip went ballistic in the press conference. i think it totally sends a wrong message from a player's standpoint, future players that you have to coach, from an organizational standpoint. if it did not happen, why did your assistants tell you it happened. either way there's a huge disconnect, a huge distraction that doesn't need to take place given this organization and this team. secondly, andray came on and said he never did anything like that and we know flip tried to communicate som
