bill from 11 sala burton high school.is vision is that we collectively build a school that is truly good enough for his own kids. he built amazing part digits and allows businesses in community based organizations into the school to help to be the backbone of the restructuring. our high school principal this year is mr. bill capenhagen. [applause] >> so i wake up this morning, and it's like, you know, 5:45. my sinuses are killing me. my throat is a little bit foggy, and i push snooze during 50 minutes later, i like i need 7 more minutes. i finally look of the clock, it is 6:30 in the morning, and i think if i do not get out of bed right now, there is no way i could get to work early enough to excuse myself a 3:00 in order to be here to see you all. thank you all so much. thanks, mom and dad, who drove here from chicago, and all of the awesome high school people here.

burton and mr. hastings and mr. bishop on this problem. the true problem is the law, not the funding of the law. in recognition of the problems that mr. burton raises, we will accept this amendment but first i'd like to make some important points about the program. the wild horse population is not native to north america and can double every four years. if horses aren't removed from the range it can cause degradation and reduce foliage for wildlife and livestock. if this program isn't appropriately funded and horse aren't removed from the range, wild horses will continue to reproduce, overgraze and eventually have a population crash which means starving horses. mr. simpson: i would also point out that it is already illegal to slaughter wild horses in the and the b.l.m. spends no funds onslaughtering them but i'd like to -- i appreciate the gentleman from indiana pointing out the problem and i would like to work with him to find a reasonable solution to this that doesn't cost the kind of money that it currently costs. thank you. the chair:

i love burton and i love the area around it. we want to remain supported by our listeners, by our community, and to not draw on the financial resources of the district over time. that said, you know that also on tonight's agenda there is a request for a short-term loan to the station for the next 18 months to allow us to continue to cover our costs of operation. as i say, we are in the process of a change in our development leadership. we think there is real opportunities, which i'm going to talk about, for getting us back to a place where 18 months from now i will be saying to you we have a surplus on hand and are no longer in a position of having to ask for a short-term loan from the district. i am going to point out a couple of highlights in the report that do with programming and the work we are doing for the community. then i want to drill down on finances and development. that is where you are going to have questions this evening. obviously, this is a long report. in your own time, you conduct a. i would point out the role

thing called movie magic, and bette davis and james mason turned into elizabeth taylor and richard burton. and oddly enough, mike nichols stayed mike nichols, and...but i sort of trusted mike. i didn't think he was going to allow them to really screw it up. and what happened, finally, by some great fortune: there was no screenplay. i mean, there's this guy, ernest lehman, who is credited with the screenplay. but then again, he produced the movie too. but i think he changed two sentences of my entire script and maybe cut about five minutes, so the text was intact. and i am told all sorts of apocryphal stories about hollywood and film. i am told, for example, that a screenplay was written in which the nonexistent child was changed into a real deeply retarded child that they kept upstairs somewhere. i don't know whether i believe stuff like this or not. but anyway, i was quite amazed when i went to see a rough cut of the movie that it was what i wrote, very much what i wrote, except those two dumb sentences: "hey, let's go to the roadhouse" and "hey, let's come back from the roadhouse..."

well the president of the arab lawyers association association burton said the protests across the region were ignited by hatred of too much western involvement and domestic policies certainly the unifying factor is that all of them have had enough of an awful dictatorship the governments that have all been so subservient to the west that this goes against the will of the people in that region generally speaking the interest of the national interest of the west is contradictory to the national interest of that region that of countries have a problem with israel they have a problem with the americans they have a problem with capitalism and this is going to this is a unifying factor. although the u.s. is showing its support for the revolt one middle east expert believes the wave of demonstrations could come back to haunt america once so we definitely do have the peoples of different countries of burien of the definitely of iraq of libya of yemen of egypt seated who really want to have change now the other aspect that i think that we have to be very careful about is that this will be and i t

called the endless war written would -- which deals with our war with al qaeda, written by peter burton and it is very full of the impact of general david petraeus's thinking. he feels that al qaeda has been so violent in so much that it has done that his alienated a lot of moderate muslims and i think that he is -- he feels that we ought to hang on in afghanistan. that we perhaps have the chance of doing something there. the situation in pakistan is getting worse and worse. i have the feeling that the general -- is a very fine officer, may step into the breach and once again pakistan may fall under military rule and that may be the only way to make a decision as to where pakistan is going. is it going to try to play things both ways supporting some elements of the taliban or is it going to take a real stand for modernity? i don't know that that is going to happen. as obama faces the decisions he also has a very fine chief of staff, mike mullen who has served in vietnam and he does call for a review of the armed forces as they stand after ten years of continuous combat and he is concern

burton: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. burton: you know, madam speaker, one of the things that we're going to hear from our good friends on the democrat side of the aisle day in and day out is how the republicans are callous because we're cutting spending and they can come to the floor and enumerate hundreds and hundreds of programs that are so good for america that they cannot be cut. and therefore we shouldn't do anything to reduce our spending. we have a $14 trillion national debt, we're $1.5 trillion short this coming fiscal year. if we don't do something we're going to feel it, but our kids and our grandkids are going to have a lower quality of life because we cannot sustain this kind of spending. so i would just like to say to my colleagues, i anticipate listening to you rant and rave about how we're cutting programs, but long-term, unless we get our fiscal house in order, the future of america is really at risk and i think the people across this country understand it's
