about how they've helped the revolution in libya despite the chaos around them they had to get in brac and get out quick before anything worse happened to them and the very last and i agree with mohammed about this the yemenis do have the power to settle accounts with a solid dictatorship and that and the key principle here is the people who do the fighting get to do the running of the country afterwards we've seen it again and again if it's one hundred first airborne or u.s. a.f. or the aria of the french air force they get to control the country after with him . the yemenis themselves like the egyptians like the tunisians whatever the political differences amongst them they're the people who get through the liberating and they're the people who get to run their country afterwards mr ambassador david let me go to david here david where do we have a one minute left here let's give you a hypothetical you were invited to the country if the country were to collapse what would be the implications for the region and maybe keeping and maybe in my career go ahead well i think mamma does menti

so this supersubcommittee similar to a brac t. gives you an up or down vote. it's a majority. people can't assume that flavor, special interest, or business are always united. i will tell you, on this one, there's an earnest approach right now going on for each business community on bipartisan, multibusiness approach to build support for going big. currently it's not sustainable. it has to have simplifications of the tax code. i think road maps have been laid out, and the people on this supercommittee who i believe can have the courage to do this, if business and other groups recognize there is no option, that it has to be done this way and it has to be done now, and i believe we can change that momentum. >> let me pick up on that if i could, because there's a reporter covering this, there's a conspiracy theory out there that there are special interest groups who might have a vested interest in seeing the supercommittee fail because the sequesters, the $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts would be less painful for their various interests than what the supercommittee might come up w

only way we could force a collective decision to make tough choices and decisions was to form the brac. this super committee is similar and gives you an up or down vote, a majority. there is an earnest approach on this right now reaching out with the business community to build support for going big. again it, it has to be big and include everything. it has to have the $4 trillion or the curve, sustainable. we need entitlement reform because arena where the largest part of the budget is. there needs to be simplifications of the tax code. part of the tax code will not produce all the revenues that people are talking about. there are people on this super committee who are believed will have the coverage to do this is business and other groups recognize there is no other option. i believe we can change that momentum. >> let me pick up on that if i could. there's a conspiracy theory out there that there are special interest groups that may have a bet -- a vested interest in seeing a super-committee fail. but these cuts would be less painful for their various interests than with the super-

hand over fort monroe to the city of hampton and the commonwealth of virginia as part of the 2005 brac process. and i proudly join with my colleague, senator webb, the bipartisan virginia house delegation, virginia's governor bob mcdonnell, local residents and national trust for historic preservation in urging the president to take this opportunity to declare fort monroe a national historic treasure. by using the antiquities act to grant this designation, it also would allow us to begin the work to create a national park at fort monroe. for more than 100 years, presidents have used the antiquities act to protect some of america's most important and beloved historic places. as a matter of fact, it was use of the antiquities act that first designated the grand canyon as well as the statue of liberty. so obviously enormous historic precedent. and there is no dispute over the historical significance of fort monroe. for the last few years i spent a considerable amount of time with this governor and then subsequent -- both as governor and now as senator working with state and local residents

collective decision to make tough to places and decisions was to form so this committee is similar to a brac. it gives you an up or down vote. it's a majority. so, people can't assume that later were special-interest, business are always united, but i will tell you on this one there is an earnest approach right now going on in the business community on the bipartisan multi business approach to build support for going big but it has to be big and include everything. it has to have the 4 trillion or the cursed. it has to be sustainable. currently it is not sustainable. the internal much reform we know where the large budget is and it has to have simplification of the task code and talk about tax reform is not producing the road maps have been laid out and the people on the super committee who i believe can have the courage to do this is business and other groups recognize there is no option, that it has to be done this way and it has to be done now and i believe we can change that momentum. >> let me pick up on that if i could. there is a conspiracy theory out there that there are interest gro

and he was, hugh washburn, a little brac ground. washburn was a congressman from illinois who was a fellow congressman or fellow politician in illinois with abraham lincoln and a very close friend of abraham lincoln's. and when lincoln became president it was washburn, as much as anybody else who kept telling lincoln, you've got to give this man grant full chance to show what he can do because washburn came from galina, illinois, which where grant was living before the civil war started. but what also distinguished washburn, he was one of four brothers who all served in congress, in the house or the senate. all four from different states, all got reelected regularly. all four had distinguished careers. one was a general in the civil war. another was as mayor, as the governor of maine, was, it appears to have been the first person to refer to the new political party as the republican party. and they grew up on a hard scrabble farm in western maine in utter poverty. and, 10 children, and, all of those children were exceptional. and, i
