i also received a note in august from two friends of mine who live in north carolina, in new bern, northtry and was injured, and during the course of his injuries and subsequent treatment, he became quadriplegic, and after months and months of effort, the veterans administration basically told his family there was no place to turn. they said to his father you're going to have to buy him a wheelchair and find a place for him in a nursing home facility. eric was a young man, obviously, and married with a little baby at home. his dad and mom showed the kind of courage and love which just touches your heart. ed edmondson said my son in his 20's is not going into a nursing home. i won't let it happen. i'm going to find a place that will treat him. and he ended up finding on his own the rehab institute of chicago, which is one of the best hospitals in the world, and eric was a patient there, going through rehabilitation from his injuries that he suffered in iraq. that's when i met his parents. they invited me to come see him and i did and promised that i would return, and i did just a few week

he's a physically strong bern. he has a great attitude. some people are spiritually crushed from these sorts of injuries and they don't always make it back. they always feel broken, but i don't get that sense from him. >> thank you for saving my life actually. i think 99% of people that came in that condition probably wouldn't have made it. and if you hadn't been on that night, you know, i don't know if i would have made it. so thank you. >> you're so welcome. you're welcome. >> all things considered, paul komyatti has lived a most unusual life. but our last impression of him never really changed from our first impression. through all his ups and downs, komyatti has stayed remarkably optimistic. >> obviously things really haven't went my way. you can say that as an understatement. one thing you learn in the joint, you don't live in the past. you can't change the past. the past is done, it's over with. all you can do is learn from the past. and this situation here, i can kick myself and say, damn, you know, you're cursed, whatever. it's not

[applause] they actually allowed them to leave. they -- you know, they had rounded white men and allowed them to leave, and then suddenly the gater shows up with the bureau of investigation people all aware, and nothing happened as a result of her identifying some of the people, but my mother, she became, you know, when daddy was living, we felt like there were six girls. he was just one of us, but grew up, and 11 years after my father's death, when my mother announced to us i'm running for office, i couldn't believe it, but i was happy, you know? >> wow.

eddie berne ease johnson. ms. johnson: thank you very much for reserving this hour and thank you for allowing me to speak in honor of a very cherished colleague and a dear friend in the u.s. house of representatives. congressman jerry costello, after 24 years of dedicated service, is retiring. and that is a very tall order for me to accept, because i have served with him on both of his major committees from the time i have come to congress 20 years ago. and appears to be, starting this term a part of people who came here to work across the aisles. when i think of mr. alaska, when i think of mr. lahood, i think of the comradery we have shared on the committees working together to get things done and look up and many of them are leaving. it is so unfortunate that we are losing such a stellar example of the commitment needed to be even effective public servant. he began his public service at an early age working in law enforcement while attending college. he has built his career on bipartisanship and depend built and

governor romney is a berne who gets things done.s done if you are demonizing the other side all the time. so, you know, i think that the big mistake though that president obama is making that his team is making is they have decided they can't run on their record. they don't even actually have a plan. talked about my plan. i don't know what his plan is unless it's the budget he has been trying to pass for the last four years got no votes in congress. run on policies and work with the other guys to pass them. what president obama wants to do is demon nice governor romney. the fact is governor romney is about the most decent normal person in america. running a campaign on spreading disinformation on what a demon he is. it can't possibly work. you can demonize me. with governor romney it doesn't make sense. >> you can demonize me plenty of material there. thank you. >> >> democrats still dealing with the fallout of taking god and jerusalem out of the party's platform before putting it back in. >> all those delegates in favor say aye. >>

bern seen said earlier they are going to' about a $55 billion cut. it sets a baseline where they built caps to get to a certain amount of savings with the defense and nondefense discretionary they're hoping to raise 1 % -- 1.are 2 trillion. the near that a lot of people have about this is that defense is already come up with a plan to find savings over the next ten years from about 487 $490 billion. i'm a little less in to the fear mongering that seems to go on around defense cuts in general. we have a done a loot -- a lot of looking at the details. and the $487 billion was a plan cut to projected growth and defense. there is a real cut an actual cut it's not $487 billion. so because defense department was spending on a lot more money over the next decade. you'll learn as we talk through this that projecting budgets out for five years is kind of dark magicked at the defense department. it rarely ever turns out that way. projecting over ten years with is kind of like trying to figure out what dark matter is. you see shadows we you don't actually see a
