chester koirnths the home of valley forge in the brandywine county where i come from is one of williampenn's original three counties. the tradition of preserving land and being good stewards of the earth have been passed down from generation to generation. we're not against progress, but we want to protect our heritage and be wise about how we use and develop the land we have. having the needed energy to turn on lights and heat water is critically important to the quality of life of every american. however, the preservation of natural environment of people's communities contributes to our quality of life as well. we need to ensure that all stakeholders are included in deciding where and when transmission lines are cited. compromise and dialogue are key in this issue, indeed it is critical to strike a balance between the crucial needs of the country while at the same time maintaining historic open space areas that make our country beautiful and unique. as the country considers this issue i hope that we hear from an affected parties and work towards viable solutions. mr. chairman, i'm gr

hamilton, middletown, west chester they can probably afford this. new enforcement. but i can take you to chickasaw, mercer county in my district. they don't have one full-time person that works for the village. not one. look at the mandate on every city, village in america, right here in this bill. so that we're not only going to tell you what the codes are going to be, but we're going to tell you how many people you need to hire to enforce this in this section of this code. i did take time, most of today, trying to understand what was in here. how about page 53. solar energy systems building permit requirements for receipt of community development block grants. so, what are we doing here to amend the community block grant program? we're going to impose global warming requirements on all the cities who get cbdg moneys from us? that's what it appears to say to me. or page 54. any met propoll tan city or urban county during such fiscal year, the cost of any permit or license for construction or installation of any solar energy system for any structure required by the

in chester sins demands thursday, each man named after the day of the week. they're all police bias so there are lots of anarchists but the ones like emile that you had to watch other was bouncing back and forth between london, the harder they entered his committee ironically enough is parts and elegant part of london now charlotte street and all of that but that was very poor, the autonomy club on windmill street. two those of the ones you have to watch and so he becomes one of the individualist groups of anarchists, that is the bombers. prop propaganda by the deed as opposed to the association who would be the future. after all of that. now he had killed before in 1892. in 1892 at 11 avenue which is still there, i have gone into various times, they found a package in front of a the carmaux mining company. there were big time strikes in the town in the south of france with a great socialist on the 31st of july in 1914 lived. they found a package and i guess one of these bonds they should have been more careful about the white powder that was falling out of t

when they realized that the numbers weren't coming in, especially around the man chester area, there's this obviously stunned reaction inside his circle. and a handful take the long walk through the hotel to obama's suite where he and michelle obama were staying. david axel rod, the senior strategist, his campaign manager and otherors. and they knock on the door, david says, we've come up short. it looks like we're not going to make it. and they're all looking to see how he is going to respond. and they were surprised themselves. now, these guys were not exactly short of respect and adulation for their candidate. but they were surprised. his reaction was, what happened? what do you think happened? so they go through it and they say, well, there was a massive flip roonched. the undecided voters went for her. he said, well, let's pretty much give the same speech. obviously we need to tweak it. but this was the test. and that became the message as he spoke to donors and key supporters. the initial reaction was, it's not supposed to be easy. people want to see us being tested. and i think

believe the kelo decision went too far, yet, by her decision in the case didden versus village of port chester, it appears judge sotomayor did not feel like it went far enough. judge sotomayor was part of a panel that upheld an even more egregious overreached by government when it came to private property rights. in that case two private property owners wanted to build a pharmacy on their land but in an area that the government essentially handed over to a private developer. the developer offered the owners a choice, give me a piece of the action or we'll proceed to condemn your property. the property owners, as you would think would be their right, refused, yet the government, the local government delivered on the developer's threat the very next day. i believe this decision represents an outrageous abuse of the power of eminent domain for a nonpublic purpose and a tremendous extension of an all flawed in the decision of the kelo case by the united states supreme court. so i think it is only fair and right that we ask judge sotomayor how she could square that decision in the didden case with

chester, please. >> very briefly. the companies here including the members of nai are increasing the amount of data they're collecting on consumers, right? it's not that there's a question of best practices. they are building and expanding the data collection. that's the nature of the business. that's the nature of the online advertising system. to build out these very sophisticated approaches. therefore, you need to have rules. you need to have -- you need to bring pii up-to-date, you know, 'cause you don't need to know your name anymore to know who you are. you need to protect sensitive data and you have to have the ftc be a better watchdog. >> with that, mr. welch, your time is expired. and let me say thank you once again to our witnesses for what truly has been an informative session. long-delayed but well worth our time talking to you and we thank you very much for taking your time all day, in fact, to talk to us. i have clearance for unanimous consent from the minority to place in the record a letter to the subc

colleagues join me in recognizing coach stewart chest earn the high school baseball team for their -- chester, and the high school baseball team for their hard work that got them there. and a team that brought home two straight championships, the next question is can they make it a three-peat? i feel sure they can, mr. speaker. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. further one-minute requests? the gentleman from pennsylvania. >> request permission to address the house for one minute. revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. thompson: thank you. mr. speaker, i rise today as an emergency medical technician to express my support for the national c.p.r. awareness week. only 8% of the sudden cardiac arrest victims survive. with simple training anyone could attempt to save the life of a sudden cardiac arrest victim with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillators. prompt delivery of c.p.r. more than doubles the chance ever survival and using a.d.'s help save lives.

illinois, or the home of superman, including a 15-foot superman statue and a six-foot popeye statue in chester, illinois. a lot of photographs have been taken in front of them. every state has these historic, amazing places to visit and those curiosities that draw people from all over the united states and all over the world. illinois offers the international visitor a truly american experience. in fact, in illinois, tourism adds $2.1 million. in 2008, there were about 1.4 million international visitors to my state. these traveler spent $2 billion in all sectors of the economy -- transportation, lodging, food service, entertainment. these intj international visitors generated extra wages for illinois residents. i encourage my colleagues to support this bipartisan bill. i am sorry that it was delayed today. there was no reason for that. we sat here idly today making wonderful speeches when we should have been passing this bill. i hope we goat it soon and i hope in passing it, we are going to help this economy get back on its feet. i have one last short statement i'll make. i seat senator from o

legislation that i think is right now up for reauthorization, and even conservative critics like diane and chester finn have said if we reauthorize it in the current form, it's going to be the death of public education. it's going to mean that only a very tiny minority of kids are going to get an education for citizenship, an education for full participation in our society. we ought to reject it, we ought to reject it because of its single-minded obsession with standardized testing. one way, i talked earlier about the way in which a democracy is powered by this fragile but precious ideal that each person is of incalculable value, and if you go and look at the 1948 declaration of human rights, article 26 is about education. and it said everyone has a right to an education. no one should be excluded from that right. so in a place like chicago where we have suspensions and expulsion ls gone crazy, we ought to relook at that as a human right. people have a right to the full development of their full severals, not aing so anitive strain that's very narrow. so one other way of looking at it that i think
