>> caroline has been a very good minister. >> caroline fudges a very close friend of the former committee -- she has been very harshly treated by the prime minister. >> we understand extreme pressure from downing street. caroline flint given extremely supportive interview. it seemed like she was expecting promotion. her resignation letter was devastating. she wrote, you have a two-tier government, your inner circle and the remainder of cabinets. she said that several of the women attending cabinet have been treated by u.s. little more than female window dressing. she went on, i am a natural party loyalists. you have strained every sinew of that loyalty. the prime minister have told -- said that he was told by his father to always tell the truth. they came very close to accusing him of lying. >> you said you're going to be candid, you are not being candid. everyone in this room knows that you wanted -- that that is what you wanted to do. all of your closest aides said you wanted to sack the chancellor. at the last minute, you have not been able to do it. >> the fact is, many journalists in

caroline lie brarery, and the caroline dental program. these projects blend public-private, and civic resources to address specific challenges of the community. i am proud to see our citizens and local government work in concert to meet community needs. caroline county was the only city or county from virginia in a field of 32 finalists from across the country. caroline county delegation traveled to florida to a panel of experts, and i'm proud to recognize them as a wonderful and unique community of virginia's first congressional district for receiving the 2009 all-america city award. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado rise? >> permission to address the house for one minute. revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. polis: madam speaker, i rise today in strong support of the american clean energy and security act. we are in the verge of a historic step that we have a responsibility and opportunity to take for the health of our envi

. >> caroline flint just resigned yet last night she came out and gave you her full support. what does that say about the support for other ministers, are they going to resign now? >> she was and has been a very good minister. >> caroline flint is a very close friend of the former communities secretary who resigned wednesday. the pair shared the view that

carolines let resigned this evening angry at how she and other women have been treated. gordon brown is tonight still a damaged but aberrant determined prime minister. >> i'm not going to lockley. i am going to keep doing the job that i set out to do and that's my message. to keep on with the job. >> his chances of doing that were hit who knows how hard my james purnell resignation just as the polls were closing last night. >> what exactly has happened? there is. it will be seen, dear gordon, i quit. be any impact at james purnell's explosive resignation letter was to set this place into siege mode, a reshuffle scheduled for monday designed to completely remodel the face of the administration when scrap, and in its place a far more modest survival reshuffle was started at once. alastair darling who was going to be nude was in fact kept at the treasury. he was also left where he was. and the man once by any labor mps to replace gordon brown himself was promoted. >> good evening. but he doesn't appear to want to take over from gordon brown. his job really, the ambition hav

and my name is caroline smith dewaal, director of food safety for the center for science in the public interest, but today i am representing 10 consumer public health and victims' advocacy organizations that are members of the safe food coalition. it let me begin by saying that we believe that this is a strong bill that will improve food safety. it requires food companies to build into their processes the, not their regular hazard analysis and the have to institute preventive controls to prevent problems from occurring. it provides a modern framework for food safety oversight to replace the antiquated food safety laws that have hamstrung the food and drug administration. mcginnis fda as central authority to carry out the mission of preventing illnesses and outbreaks, and to inspect food plants much more frequently and it addresses the funding issues urgently needed to institute the programs improvement. doing this with a modest registration page. the hearts of any active reform effort lies and prevention, which is in in the bills hazard analysis and preventive control section. the bill

for caroline kennedy and her conversation with her children. again, children talking to adults about the election cycle. that was a fairly unique thing and of course the passing of the torch aspect for someone who idealized the civil rights movement as obama did he wanted it to be a community organizer because he dreamed of a civil rights movement in that era and was too late. so it was emotional for him in doubles a huge deal not just because it was the kennedys, but because you're the party establishment was saying this is back in the primaries a long way from being over. the relationship of the is the extended. caroline kennedy played a critical role in the vice presidential selection. she grew very close to senior figures in the obama circle including david axelrod and then candidate and of course ted kennedy now i think there is the determination really to get health care done and have ted kennedy's name on it in part because of that emotional link but obviously they all want to see universal health care or something approaching it. but th

westchester, new york, caroline on the democrats' line. caller: good morning.i was wondering how mr. bradley graham felt when he found out that donald rumsfeld, wolfowitz in the other neocons promoted saddam hussein, kept telling us that he had these weapons of mass destruction when the man was contained for 12 years? now they have ridden off into the sunset with big money in their bank accounts. i like to know when they're going to give some of the money back to the american people because now we are suffering? guest: concerning weapons of mass destruction, clearly that is misjudgment. bush and all the other officials will have to continue to address that misjudgment of the weapons of mass destruction. donald rumsfeld did believe that report. of all the senior officials if he should have known better or at least question that intelligence more aggressively than he did. he tried to warn against believing too much in the conventional wisdom, not challenging enough assumptions and intelligence reports. he was very fond of disturbing to people the preface of a boo

i've been asked on behalf of the democratic leader to ask consent that caroline mcneil, nay can keefer and stephanie -- nathan keefer and stephanie lewis be allowed privileges of the floor for the remainder of the debate on the nuclear option of dean koh to be legal advisor to the state department. prosecute. the presiding officer: without objection. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from missouri. mr. bond: madam president, i rise today to express my strong opposition to the nomination of mr. harold koh to be the legal advisor to the department of state. my concerns with mr. koh arise primarily from his own statements, writings and testimony before congress. in my opinion, he seems more comfortable basing his legal conclusions on partisan political opinions and trendy arguments rather than the facts and the law. we don't need more legal clerics in government. we need more legal realists in government, someone who pays attention to the hard work that we do in this body to pass laws. the department of state and the country deserve better than that kind of ad

we learned that vice president joe biden called on other potential opponent, congresswoman caroline maloney. she has not yet announced whether or not she is running. for kristin gillibrand, it means one more sign of relief. it seems like all of her challengers, but for maloney, are sitting on the sidelines. when president obama chose congressmen john mchugh for army secretary, the cry went up that this was another chance to win a republican seat. it has been held by the republican mchugh since 1982. the problem here for democrats is that one of their strongest potential candidates is also somebody that the new york senate democrats want to keep. his name e won a special collecr the state senate. it is a very republican seat. the concern among democrats in that state is that if he leaves, he could lose the state senate seat in control of the senate is a tie. as "the new york times" reports, the state senate would have a leadership impasse. even more important for those people down the road, if democrats are not in control of the redistricting process, that could be bad news for the congressi

of those improprieties and folks like caroline flint and others, including the former defense secretary, margaret beckett, i believe, has had some issues and tax reimbursements. both cameron and gordon brown have had to come up and it has hurt him. >> this is what part -- record and brown said. "to be honest, i'm not interested in what companies being in power. i would worry if i never returned to those places, down the street, checkers, and it probably be good for my children." he went on to say that labour could win the next election. >> he has to say that last statement. it does not say that, he would be justified in getting a new leader. it is very hard to be at the tail end of a long issue like this. it is now brown after blair. the party is exhausted. there tends to be more corruption at the pet to a level. they have been in power too long. it is very hard to be a leader showing bigger to the nation at that point. der that shows vigor to the nation at that point. brown has played his hand remarkably badly, including that line about fighting on. obviously much less heroic in church

ok, caroline foot, but she was not in the -- carolyn flint, but she was not in the cabinet. >> she says, with her arm on her back. >> yes. what is clear from this is that we are not going to get a coup from within the cabinet. on the other side of the coin, will there be some kind of coup from the back benches of? it seems clearer and clearer that there is a lack of coordination among the backbench rebels. they are less confident now that aaron johnson is an alternative waiting in the wings now that he has been promoted. if gordon brown goes, that means an earlier election and that will lose their seats. i think that borden is in a stronger position than he was last night. -- i think that gordon brown is in a stronger position now that he was last night. >> there are a few other problems for gordon brown. >> yes, the daily telegraph is back on the expenses trail again. it is said that he claimed expenses on two different properties simultaneously. downing street says that these expenses have gone into and have been cleared by the house of commons and checked by the fis office. for any a

i'm caroline from the university of virginia. and as college students we often face the hookup culture and this idea of traditional relationships are not valued anymore. and how as students can we stand strong for our values without feeling left out? >> secure allies in the battle. many times i get e-mails from parents or from college kids saying "i feel like i'm the only one. i feel like i'm the only one." now, even if you are the only one, you must always stand for what is right. but you are not the only one that believes in those values or virtues. look for people who share your value -- form friendships with them. create your own subculture. again it comes to commitments and relationships. watching each other's backs. allow yourselves with groups and others who believe like you do. and you become the force for good that changes the culture that you're in instead of allowing it to have you feel separated. one of the greatest strategies of war is to make your opponent feel isolated and alone like they're the only one. because t

the last two years before this committee or other members of congress perhaps only runner up to caroline on this panel. [laughter] our board of directors jittery 2007 adopted a series of principles calling for mandatory science based regulation by the federal government and we congratulate you of the full committee to present the draft of the food safety enhancement act of 2009 for consideration. my written statement contains a number of suggestions for strengthening the bill i will focus on three key areas of concern. let me start by repeating the policy principles to protect public health and to ensure consumer confidence produce safety standards must allow for a commodity specific approach based on the best available science of us consistent and applicable to the identified commodity no matter grown in the united states are imported and have federal oversight with compliance in order to be credible to consumers rear please these principles are recognized in the draft of the food safety enhancement act of 2009 looking specifically at the draft we strongly support the bill's intent sect

new york, caroline in westchester on the democrats win. >> caller: good morning. i was wondering how mr. graham felt when he found out that donald rumsfeld, wolfowitz and, and the other neocons promoted saddam hussein -- kept telling us that he had weapons of mass destruction when the man was contained for 12 years and now they all have rudolph into the sunset with big money in their bank accounts and i would like to know when are they going to give some of that money back to the american people because now we are suffering. >> guest: well on the question of weapons of mass destruction, clearly that's misjudgment that rumsfeld and all the other top officials in the bush administration are going to have to continue to address. rumsfeld and did believe the intelligence reports that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. but i think of all of the senior administration officials as i write in the book rumsfeld should have known better or he should have questioned that intelligence more aggressively than he did because he made the point always and had for years of tryin

medicaid program that's now been extended to the state employees program, that blue cross of north caroline is participating in, more ways to get medicare participation in the program. as well, the quality measures for these different kind of population aren't exactly the same but the goal is, to get improvements and outcomes for patients while getting reductions in overall costs of care. these are not being implemented in radical and suddenly. you are not going to suddenly be moving away from fee-for-service payment that providers have always used. they are being implemented through incremental steps like providing some up front payments for medical homes and fair core nations, but the transition intended to move payment toward paying for better results and making sure that the steps are leading to better outcomes for patients and lower overall costs of care. a number of these activities around the country. and there's a lot of discussion earlier about the importance of medicare taking steps to produce me in these efforts. while i was at cms we started a demonstration program based on this
