of the cardinal it really makes this statement that the united states is the sanctuary for the world.he is expressing the view that the united states can do certain things that the vatican cannot possibly do because of the united states position in the world and reagan says i hope i am able to fulfil your trust in me. and so there was a close relationship. pope john paul ii to who is really terrific. reagan had written a couple of radio commentaries on the pulpit on to poland in 1979 and so reagan was already familiar with some of his views and the fact that the pope was not only anti not see but also anti-communist so reagan and the pope shared an anti totalitarian view of the world and the view that freedom to worship and to choose one's line of work and to travel and to have dignity especially religious freedom in the case of the pope of course, but also for reagan were very important and they share that. and i also, the pope i think came two certainly understand reagan's view of what he had to do in order to bring this soviets to the bargaining table and ultimately achieve a reduc

cardin: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to be able to speak as if in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. cardin: mr. president, i take this time to share with my colleagues a problem that we thought was left in the 20th century, a worldwide problem: slavery. i'm talking about modern slavery: the human trafficking that takes place around the world. yesterday as chairman of the united states commission on security and cooperation in europe, the helsinki commission, i was privileged to join secretary of state clinton at the state department for the official release of the ninth annual trafficking in persons report. this is a vital diplomatic tool. it's put out every year by the united states, been doing this for almost 10 years now. and it lists every country, and the current status of trafficking in their country. some countries are origin countries. others allow trafficking through their countries. other countries are receiving countries. in this report there is

cardin: mr. president, i'm glad that we are now engaged in the health care debate. this debate is long overdue. and i congratulate the obama administration for taking on the tough issues. this is none an easy subject in order to reach the type of consensus necessary to pass major legislation. there's a lot of special interests that are going to make it difficult for us to move forward. but i'm proud that this administration's taking this issue up, because we are in a health care crisis in america. i say that because the cost of health care is not sustainable. we spend twice as much as the next most expensive nation in the world per capita on health care. $2.4 trillion a year, 15% of our gross domestic product on health care. and those numbers are increasing dramatically each and every year. the cost of health care is not sustainable. we had a great deal of discussion here about fiscal responsibility and bringing our budget into balance. president obama's correct, if we don't deal with the escalating cost of health care is going to make it virtually impossible for us

. >> senator cardin? >> attorney general holder it's a pleasure to have here and i appreciate your comments particularly as it relates to the civil rights division and the message that you've sent and some of the other areas i want to talk about a few. i want to talk about predatory lending. the civil rights movement was responsible for the passage of significant legislation that was intended to end discrimination in housing. the fair housing act, the equal credit opportunity act, the home mortgage disclosure act, and the community reinvestment act, just to mention a few. and i think it did an incredible job in red lining. the problem today we have reverse red lining where minority communities have been targeted particularly for subprime loans. let me just give you some of the statistics that we have for 2006 leading up to the current housing crisis. we find that the high cost loans that 35% who were placed in these high cost mortgages could have been placed in traditional fixed rate loans. but the distur
