senator carden were at the tarmac today to welcome alan gross home. this was a culmination of our effort for more than five years to bring him home and to get him home safely. yesterday, i received a call from vice president biden informing me that mr. gross would leave cuba this morning as part of an overall spy swap and that also the beginning of new policy changes for cuba. i was delighted to hear both. it is time. but for me, the big moment was alan gross. to be out at the tarmac. to see a plane that says the united states of america wing through the sky and to know that mr. gross and his beloved wife judy were on that plane, and to see the doors open, and to see his wife that we had worked with, we had stood from meetings to phone calls to outreach efforts to passing of congressional resolutions, to see judy walk down with the biggest smile that i have seen in five years. only then to be followed by a slender man who, i feared would come down halting because we knew he'd been so sick. that he'd lost 100 pounds, and there came alan gross, a wreck

you had a great discussion with senator carden. i don't like this plan.vote. it would have been a close call. because as the two of you were saying in a gridlocked environment like this without compromise, you don't go forward. but i would have had to hold my nose way too tightly to swallow some of those changes, especially, you mentioned de-funding the irs. i think that's big. but the change to dodd/frank is a big deal and very problematic one. >> why is it so dangerous in your mind then? how does it work? >> so what it does is it basically allows banks now to trade derivatives and not just any derivatives, but these risky bets in the part of the bank that's insured, that's backstopped by the u.s. government. so taxpayers once again backstopping these risky derivatives. one of the things we did in dodd/frank and i was there at the time, we took that part of the trade out of the insured part of the bank. we pushed it out to a subsidiary that's not backed by the taxpayer. this change brings it back in. so to me, one of the big problems that inflated the fi

it also includes a version of the amendment filed by senator carden that would sunset the 2001 aumf from a period of three years from enactment unless it has been reauthorized. this period of duration limits the next of the isil reauthorization. so i want to say i think it is tremendously important that we work together in a serious way to refine the 2001 aumf. and i think a three-year window is a responsible amount of time in which to do that. i support the three-year sunset because i think without a forcing mechanism we would find it virtually impossible to come to an agreement on how to refine that 2001 authorization. we have seen how difficult that process can be. but i believe clearly it must be done. and i think that on that goal i think many of us are -- have a common view about the 2001 authorization. the manager's amendment is now before the committee. i'm willing to entertain comments by members. senator boxer. >> mr. chairman i'm so respectful of every member of this committee. each of us has very strong views. and some of them are nuanced and some of them are quite different.
