it protects the buffalo pasture. the pueblo has agreed to give up some of its water rights in exchange for protecting the groundwater that feeds the buffalo pasture. a settlement agreement was signed in may of 2006 by taos pueblo, the state of new mexico and many affected non-indian water users in the taos valley. but this settlement still needs ratification and approval by the united states federal government and that's what this bill will do. it will bring much-needed certainty to the taos valley and new mexico water users. as anyone from a western state knows, water is the lifeblood of our community. whether you live in downtown albuquerque on a ranch, in a pueblo, every new mexican deserves their right to clean, reliable water. this settlement is a historic step in ensuring that new mexico communities have clear and reliable water rights -- rights to the water that they need, and i'd urge my colleagues to vote yes on this bill and i yield back my time. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back

around the buffalo area, if you saw the game today, it was just a big mess there. we had up to two feet in the tughill plateau this will continue to be an ongoing story. big plunge of cold air this weekend wasn't bad enough this will be coming into the nation's midsection, pushing eastward. by the middle of the week with, don, i think wednesday the worst day and may get snow into some southeastern states before the week is out. so the cold air continues to grip the u.s. >> when are you going to be talking about sunny, balmy afternoons all over the country? >> a couple months perhaps. yeah. >> patience is a virtue, right? thank you, jacqui. >> sure. >>> political tensions are reaching a boiling point in iran. the government threatens to take an even harder line against protesters. we have a live report for you. >>> congress gets become to work this week. the focus, health care. we will take a look at what's next in the battle for reform. host: did the waltons take way too long to say goodnight? mom: g'night john boy. g'night mary ellen. mary ellen: g'night mama. g'n

and i was watching some of the buffalo/colts game yesterday. there were guys in the stands with no shirts on. i guess they're drinking some anti-freeze or something, maybe. >> don't want to think about it. >> wow. well, here, you do need to layer up to protect yourself, especially the extremities, because frostbite can quickly set in, just with a little exposure out there, we have our windchills down into the teens this morning. and as we take a look at the sky this morning going back over the last several hours, we can put the sky into motion for you and show you how it moves from about oh, an hour and a half ago, up until just a few minutes ago, we can see the cloud cover slowly moving off to the east from the west. we're looking toward virginia here in this vantage point. there's american university in the foreground. you can see the cloud cover sort of breaks up a little bit. we do get a little bit of a blue sky that's coming through. so a little sunshine is trying to make it through from time to time. there's the live picture now, still ju

they were nesting in buffalo park, canada. but this flock was down to 27. 2000-mile migration, getting less and less. if bird flu or something came along, then that would be the end of that. so that was why they needed to start a second -- a second group, but they had to teach them to migrate. they learn from their parents, and this was a new route, an ancient one, but no living bird knew it. so they trained him to follow the altar like. like bill trained egyptian geese to start with. >> host: ic. like a black footed ferrets and condors. >> guest: black footed ferret extinct in wow. california condor extinct in the wild. agni rabid extinct in the wow. so many of them. >> host: but all of the species to have in common, one thing, it seemed to me was that they all were to the point where we could have written them off. we could have just said forget it, let's pull the plug and go way. but it didn't happen. some of the incredibly inventive things such as using ultralights to teach migratory routes. >> guest: and my favorite story

. >> host: buffalo, you're on the air. >> caller: good morning, susan. doc, what i want to talk to you about and susan, too, i got to meet her. it's kind of fun. senator coburn was on your show -- it's been a month or two ago. and he was talking about running all these tests that he knew was unnecessary, but he had to do it for his liability, whatever. now, is that not waste, fraud and abuse? if i would do something like that, i would be in jail. and i know there's other doctors that do this. now, i'm 63. i'm in the va system. they control my copd, my high blood pressure and everything. it doesn't cost me a dime. i could be on medicare but i chose not to do it. i've been with the va since i got out of the service since '71. but why are all these tests being run and i know it cost money. >> host: thank you, dean. in fact testing and how much doctors has been a regular theme. here's one headline article, testing, testing, testing and how doctors are calling for a lot of tests they sometimes they say are gold plated more than they need? >> guest: your calle

all of the way in from buffalo -- they like the weather here a bit better. [laughter] thank you.in the room today, and those of you who might be watching or hearing this, i will be asking of you three things. first, i am going to ask for your prayers. we have enormous challenges ahead. all that we must do will be done. but there are many things that we should do, that can be done, and we will strive for it. i know that we can achieve anything that we want to do. with hard work with your prayers. by ask for your patience. some things cannot be rushed -- i ask for your patience. some things cannot be rushed. projects begun under one administration, continued into another, it may seem as if very little progress is being made. the compromise, the give-and- take of government, can be a slow and difficult process. but we have a range of voices and opinions in the council chamber, because no one of us has all of the answer. -- all of the answers. sometimes democracy is a little messy, but we get there. thirdly, i will ask for your perseverance. we are in this together for the duration.

you have to show strength -- rochester, buffalo, some of those other counties upstate.he has been popular. she came to the senate in a precarious way, to put it mildly. but she has done a good job. given this anti-establishment and anti-incumbency attitude of their it is not bad to have howard their testing waters so voters in new york the of feel like it is a foregone conclusion to have gillibrand as their candidate. i don't think he will run. if you do the market will see that she is quite popular. doing so would not be worth the damage it could do in a primary. host: we're joined from north carolina caller: i hope i'm not cut off. i wanted to tell karen that i believe you are the weakest democratic representative. you always a agree with what republicans say. the problem is republicans have lied about what is in the healthcare bill. including c-span. one is the last time that c- span challenged the president to debate issues host: are in error jill, we did not send a letter to the president, but rather to the house and senate leadership. we asked them to open up the

and first up is buffalo. good morning to cain on the republican line. >> caller: how are you doing? mr. bartlett, i want to get a hold of the book and read it and get more insight on your opinions. basically what i wanted to address was, if we are dealing with a fiat trinity, how can we stop inflation? this so-called money -- with the currency that we're using is not backed by anything, what can we do to stop the inflation? that's naturally what happens when your money is not backed by gold or if this is taken off the gold standard like the house joint resolution. >> host: thanks, will get a response. >> guest: was clear the responsible federal reserve to maintain a stable price level. and although they've increased the money supply into the current economic crisis, does that perfectly well understand that it has to reverse that policy or else we are going to be back into a 1970's hyperinflation situation. and they've already talked a lot about how to do this and when to do this, but they have not yet decided to actually begin tightening. and my fear is that they will wait too long

we will develop that housing stock and to affordable housing starting with buffalo, which right now has 23,000 vacant units. [applause] earlier today, assembly and right and i attended the funeral of former assemblyman and borough president and entrepreneur, media mogul civil- rights lawyer, and world war two fighter pilot percy sutton. he was a friend and mentor to me, but one who was held in high esteem all around this state and country. but nearly half a century ago, when no one else was talking about, he was a lone voice advocating for the power of economic opportunity as the key to advancement. new york state's economic development program has to make sure that it covers -- that covers all corners of our boundaries. and it is known historically that women and minority-owned businesses have not had the opportunities or resources from the state to flourish. but i was wondering if you knew how bad it actually was? when i was a candidate for office in 2006, i read a department of economic development report that noted that at that time, women and minority businesses in the areas of sta
