carper: mr.resident, i disagree with the senator from texas maybe once or twice in the last half dozen years. seriously, we disagree from time to time, but we do it in a way that we are not with one another disagreeable. i support the nomination, the president's nomination, chuck hagel, to be our secretary of defense. i want to take just a couple of minutes to explain why. for folks who might be watching this from afar, this body used to operate very differently than it does today. the president would nominate people to serve in his cabinet, to really serve as judges. there would be hearings. there would be debate. sometimes people would disagree, but certainly for cabinet apappointments and some cabinet-level appointments, for the most part the president got the team he or someday she asked for. that's the way we did it as governors across the country. the way we still do it as governors across the country. the idea that four years into this administration we are still playing a game of executiv

carper: while the senator from texas is on the floor, while he knows i have affection for him, i serve with him on the finance committee, i want to ask, i appreciate senator shaheen and senator hoeven, letting me just in here for just a minute. we dwrea agree on so much. we actually do. and not just you and i but our colleagues here, democrat and republican. i think we fully acknowledge that although the deficit has come down from about $1.5 trillion to $8,950,000,000,000, it's way, way too much and we also agree one of the best ways to reduce the deficit is to strengthen and grow the economy. i believe and i think i heard the president say this the other night, three things we need to address, one, we need to address, and the president said this, we need to address entitlement programs, not to saffage old people or to savage poor people but to figure out how to get better health care results for less money, be able to preserve those programs for the long haul. and i think we'll have an interesting proposal from senator durbin later this year with respect to social security and i think

sander levin is his older brother, who came to the house of representatives in 1982 with me, durbin, carper, boxer -- to name just a few. and, mr. president, senator levin has heard me say this several times, and i'll continue to say it because it's one of the most impressive, memorable statements i had in -- i've ever had with a very -- in a very personal setting. i was in the house of representatives, and i was thinking of running for the senate. and i went over to meet with carl levin to get his ideas and to meet him. and i said, as i was trying to establish some rapport with him, i said, i'm serving with your brother. he and i came here together a congress ago. and without hesitation and so sincerely, he looked up a at me and he said, yes, he's my brother, but he's also my best friend. i've never, ever forgotten that. that speaks so well of the levin family. sandy has been the chair of the ways and means committee, is now the ranking member of the ways and means committee, of which carl is very proud of the service of his brother, as is sandy proud of the service of his brother. carl le

one of the things that i do is i place as many students at age ps in to manufacturing carper action type positions as i can. two weeks ago one of the students that i placed in the manufacturing operation came back to read. it was wonderful. she was so happy, you know, having such a great time, you know, working with real stuff and producing products. she said the hardest thing was when she first went into this place explaining to people repeatedly why would somebody with an m.b.a. from harvard business school come here. okay. what that tells me is it's actually a broader probe will up the image of manufacturing as dirty work. we heard about that earlier today. i tell you, i worked in the industry for 28 years. making stuff is the most gratifying javits even have. set that aside and let me tell you about a course i am offering this semester because the administration has been suggesting to you know, we have to have people on to you know, help more of the management of these technology and science based businesses. you have to do this. okay. i will target the students. the admissions offic

and my counterpart in the senate, senator carper in arizona.y piece is not down there. what i mean by that, the surveillance technology, integrated fix towers, we're going to get a lot of equipment from afghanistan and iraq we've already paid for to redeploy to the southwest border. i think that's smart. the more we get that done, the more people on my side of the aisle will be more willing to have that debate about immigration reform that we need to have. i think we all recognize that. knowing who's coming and going is critical if you're going to do a guest worker program. >> which by the way right now the unions don't want the guest worker program. i think that's going to be part of the final package. you know what's so ironic, mike, is republicans right now are wary about immigration reform for a lot of reasons. they think it's going to pass. but you talk to them about what scares them the most. talk about the plan that reagan passed. which was amnesty. and it actually attracted even more illegal immigrants after the reagan plan passed. he s

rate might be different and statutory, you still believe is geared to proceed, go down the road of carper reform? reduce a lot of those tax expenditures in order to get the rate can't? >> i do, senator. i think that when one looks at a table of international tax rates is stands out that the u.s. statutory rate is very high. it is a much more complicated story to tell that the average rate is lower, and it does not affect all businesses equally, and in order to get that low or average rate one has to take advantage of complicated special tax provisions. and is simply a tax cut. >> if you could just briefly comment on something that has been in the press, and that is your investment in the cayman islands. was it, how that happened, why you chose that investment and what benefits did you received? >> senator, island was an employee i had ever to the american investment in a venture-capital fund, a private equity fund that was designed to invest in emerging economies around the world. it was an opportunity that looks to me to be a bit riskier than other investments sight made in the past and
