sam tanenhaus has taken the burke revival even further. in the death of conservatism he distinguishes between what he calls burkean realist, the good guys in his formulation, committed he says to flexible adjustments to changing conditions and those he excoriates as revanchists. ideologue seeking a destructive counterrevolution. according to him, the american conservative movement is dominated by extremists prevention this-- three vanishes two the prayed for a politics of stabilizing intemperance. tanenhaus's book has been criticized by conservative reviewers as a tendentious misreading of american conservatism. what tanenhaus nonstate charge is a passive, defeatist, accommodationist conservatism that politely as just in the name of burke to a political and social order created and controlled by the american left. and the arrangement as one conservative has put it, in which conservatives served as chauffeurs to liberals, tapping the brakes occasionally as the nation speeds toward socialism. this is not the first time in recent american his

, interest in edmund burke, in a most unexpected quarter, the american left. last spring, jon meacham, the legal editor at newsweek, hailed burke as a role model for our times, a complex pragmatic figure, he said, who distrusted absolutes and who might be an antidote to the pervasive spirit of division in today's america. more recently, meacham has been claimed barack obama the most significant burkey and in american politics today. meanwhile, david brooks of "the new york times" has reported that when he had a meeting last spring with president obama's senior adviser, david off the iraq, mr. axelrod was conspicuously carrying a copy of edmund burke's reflections on the revolution in france. sam tanenhaus has taken it further. in the death of conservatism, he distinguishes between what he calls burkey and realists, the good guys in his formulation, committed he says to flexible adjustments, to changing conditions are and knows he excoriates as revanchists. ideologues seeking a destructive counterrevolution. according to him, the american conservative movement

burke, you have done such good work in this area.d as a potential national model here, what further feedback would you give us on what elements of the lindsay ann burke program has been received, have been most effective, what are the lessons learned from what you have done that you think congress should focus on? >> i think the lessons learned have been the need for funding. the implementation of bill lot is working in rhode island because the association's stepped up to the plate and said we would be willing to provide free training for school staff. 7rthere was no funding attachedo the bill when it was passed in rhode island. however, the drawback in other states is that many states have been tensions but they're very concerned, especially in these hard economic times, about the cost of training school personnel. i have gotten calls even this week from the state of ohio, from the mexico asking how we implemented lindsey calls law and what was the cost involved. for it to be successful in the amount of other states, we have to have

the ipcc models, there are a number of them burks they're all developed by the same people and they all have the same basic assumptions. and they've all been wrong. they keep predicting temperatures going up and up, and somewhat up in a an escalating fashion, and that's simply is not happening. so at some point in time you either have to change your theory, admit it's wrong, or admit it's not a scientific theory, it's some sort of an ideology. >> you talk about the ipcc scientists, and as you're aware, that's a panel of about 2,000 scientists and experts representing different governments and institutions from around the world. generally, many of them are funded by scientific and academic institutions. >> primarily by government. >> but bringing to bear a wide variety of different perspectives to the scientific data that they're pursuing and the head of the ipcc said last week -- said this past week in copenhagen that essentially that group as a whole based on its many years of gathering data does not feel that its conclusions have been in any way undermined by the e-mails of the britis

we'll take the privilege of asking the last question. , george, would you agree with me that edmund burke would regard to obama the same way he did the french revolution?

the patron saint as you might say of conservatism, burke, was formulated the approach that conservatives should take to reform. he was a reformist himself, but he insisted that any reform, that you ensure that any reform is consistent with the fundamental principles, what he called the english constitution, and that it not in any way undermine the foundations upon which the country stands. and that's the position most conservatives today, and it is a position i take. the question always is, which reform. many reforms that i myself supported when i was misguided leftist like the war on poverty, and some of my friends by the way, fellow neoconservatives who actually helped write the legislation that made up the great society, discovered that it had a fixed the opposite of those that were intended. in more harm to the poor than good. in various ways. that's been demonstrated over and over again. so to invoke something like, you know, passion to the poor or institute reforms when you keep supporting measures that presume or pretend to be favorable to the poor and are in fact, harmful, yet, y

enterprise i think came when i heard the then chairman of johnson & johnson, i can't remember his name, jim burke, say that our priority is to serve our customers, and second to serve our communities third, to serve our employees and then if those are well served, our shareholders will benefit. and i think one of the things that it's happened is we have flipped its so that people, shareholders and bottom line. and they got bonuses without going through the kind of humanitarian approach and i have been uncomfortable with good capitalism because i have been trying to find what good is but i think what you have said here today says to meet humanitarian capitalism, capitalism that serves people whether then problems and i think we started its-- i think we started being critical of greed not at the top but we started pointing it out with trade union movement. when the trade unionists were using their power in the railroad industry just to add workers and build their unions without relating it to productivity. you see, and i never had a strike as a city employee, as a mayor because we always said, we a

school equal financing case that have been brought, indirectly addresses it such as the avid versus burke case in new jersey, and the horton versus method case in connecticut. yet, we found that equal financing doesn't merely address the structural inequality of based upon high poverty concentration in low achievement. there's a new new way of cases in the past 18 years known as the adequacy and education cases. and the legal in that category is certainly the campaign for fiscal equity from new york city. but again, can at least indirectly touch upon resources education program. however, i interpret your question asked, could we really bring a success suit based upon the disparity, the disparities between minority and nonminority, and between poor and nonpoor, which the core of the achievement gap. and which goes to the no child left behind act. my colleagues argue that the new accountability standards established under the no child left behind act, now provides the law and civil rights litigator with the measurable standard exactly what is a quality education, which courts have refrained

i thank can define burke, chair of the kennedy library foundation -- i thank kenneth feinberg.and i would like to say a special thanks to tom, director of the jfk library. everyone here at the library of foundation who were helpful to me and our family last august. on very short notice, they did the impossible. helping us to prepare the way for the people of the commonwealth to come here to pay their respects to ted. 50,000 people came through the library last august, and that would not have been possible without their tireless efforts. thank you so much. [applause] i also would like to say a brief word about the kennedy institute for the united states senate. ted loved the senate. he called it one of our forefathers most brilliant democratic conventions. about seven years ago, we started talking about the idea of a living institution to educate and inform generations of americans about the critical role of the senate in our democracy. he had a clear vision of a place for young people could visit and see first hand of role the senate plays in our system of government. and where

members of the two parties could either burk together to allocate the fiscal dividend as well as make other budget decisions or if they disagree, failed to pass the bill. in the event of such a political now down in the budget bill -- meltdown, the system would revert to existing law. and that includes a comprehensive budget savings. the savings would flood the deficit reduction. -- would float the deficit reduction. let me talk about the attributes in some of the political aspect of this. our elected representatives will never agree to a budget system with the prospect of imposing pain. maybe, but maybe not. this concept is quite flexible. it seems to me that the really important part of a workable budget system is not at all how quickly begin to balance, but it is about having a permit system where we show fiscal responsibility. that is how we ensure all of the market about our sovereign debt. as importantly as having competition, in our professional lives, there have been too great structural implosions. in 1981 and again in 2001 and 2003. the first one took 16 years to correct. th

ann burke cited enforcement actions against people selling over the county -- over-the- counter body building substances that include steroids. she said, these are unproven and unapproved drugs, not dietary supplements. in other words, they are considered adulterated and misbranded under the food and drug cosmetic act. simply put, under current law these products are not allowed to be marketed. i appreciate the chairman's willingness to listen to my long statement that as you know this subject is near and dear to my heart. i want to welcome our witnesses and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to join us and i look forward to discussing this important issue with them. >> will the witnesses please rise? raise your right hand. to each of you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before the subcommittee? will now proceed to our first witness. mr. michael levy, director of the office of compliance for the center of drugs evaluation and research at the food and drug administration. since 2000, he has been associate chief counsel

senator lott burke's amendment addresses this concern. it allows impartation but it protects the american people by requiring that before any drug is imported to the united states it must be certified to be safe and to reduce costs so it does what the fda commissioners talking about here, the agency responsible for protecting the american people. people may just want to not believe it. they want to ignore it but the fact is this is the entity responsible in this country to protect the food supply and the drug supply. we want to be as certain as they possibly can, that they are set to use an rabino with the ingredients originated before they are imported. we want to be absolutely certain that patients beginning medications that are the same in substance, quality and quantity that their doctor has prescribed. and will reduce cost before they are allowed into americans addison cabinets. i have heard a lot about the european union here. let's look at but the european union is now saying. there constantly being offered on the floor for the rea
