so we feed the future initiative which secretary clinton and myself and the administrator of usda are partners. and what we're doing at usda we're going to these countries and sending usda officials to visit with farmers in those countries and teaching them better technologies. iowa state has a seed center which is also helping and assisting in creating of kinds of proper techniques and technologies to be used. last year we impacted 60,000 producers in sub-sahara in central america and southeast asia. relatively number of number of people but we impacted 60,000 producers. the second problem is the necessity of having political reform and agricultural reform. creating markets and we're helping them with that and finally working to make sure that they have statistics -- that they have an understanding of where their agriculture is. the sad reality is that roughly 40% of the food that's produced in those countries that you're concerned about is lost because these folks don't have adequate storage operations. so we're working on post-harvest loss and storage. so that work is being done an

apart pr responding to the incident, president clinton once called for a national conversation on race in 1997. he had a whole initiativeue to advance what he called one america in the 21st century. well, the martin case is drawing tons of attention across the country as you can see from the chart. but today i suggest we do not need another national conversation about race. what we need now is a national agenda to combat racism in our criminal justice system. we need to find policy goals for what is an exciting and growing constituency that does want it fix the glaring problems. we don't need a debate with people who don't see the problems or a search for conversation consensus. if you agre with me so far? what should be on agenda? i propose, number one, something already out there. . national criminal justice act of 2011. a bold profess poesal from senator jim webb to review the entire criminal justice system and address incarceration, racial despairis and ineffective and harsh sentencing. he said at the time, we, the out, have 5% of the world's population and 25% of the people in prison. we are locking up too many peo

energy efficiency and buildings, sort of a 20% improvement, and i think bill clinton picked us up very much as an initiative, and governments around the country are working on this with the financial services industry and the owners of commercial buildings. and this is an initiative called the better builders initiative, and it's a commercial initiative to try to encourage energy conservation which is a very important part of the industrial policy and energy. >> ladies and gentlemen, doctor laura tyson. laura, thank you so much. >> you're watching c-span2 with politics and public affairs, weekdays featuring live coverage of the u.s. senate. on weeknights watch key public policy events. every weekend the latest nonfiction authors and books on book tv. you can see past programs and get our schedules at our website. you can join in the conversation on social media sites. >> top military commanders in afghanistan go before the house armed services committee this morning. marine corps general john allen will explain recent developments in that country. you can see live coverage beginning right now on our compani

clinton addressed that today. >> i happen to think this auto industry package is the most important thing that was initiated by presidentear mr. romney talk about this, i think his daddy must be turning over in his grave. >> that's pretty strong language, but when you get to ohio, 792,000 ohio jobs depends on the auto industry. how do you think the average ohioan is going to look at a man who said, let detroit go bankrupt? >> i don't know how governor romney defend that position. he paid a price in michigan. as a native, quote/unquote. he should have gotten 60% or 70% of the vote there. so many people turned against him because he turned against them in the auto industry. i'd ask governor romney to make up for his opposition to the auto rescue. maybe he can do something for us. the senate passed the biggest bipartisan jobs bill that we've passed last year. it was my legislation to fix the currency, the gaming of the currency system that the chinese have used that have cost us thousands of manufacturing jobs. we passed this legislation. it stuck in the house. i'd ask governor romney to pick up the phone, call speaker boe

clinton or david cameron because just briefly you talk about the agendas behind the intentions of many countries wanted to see a regime change there just briefly though do you see kofi annan and peace initiative working it should have come into effect already and it hasn't what do you make of it. i think it's very interesting that up to this deal but there hasn't been a reciprocation from those that i can see and i think the problem is that the opposition is too fragmented i think even if the free syrian army. council opposition syrian council went for this deal i'm not sure they could pull it off inside the country so unfortunately i think this is the best way out it seems at the moment but unfortunately i don't see this working and son will not want is the author well as i say they are banking was extreme movements in the arab world to try and offset the arab spring there's a laugh in egypt and elsewhere they have their own agenda here which doesn't quite shine with america's and let's see if we can sort it out in advance of this meeting and sunday but unfortunately i don't see the call. coming off always interesting here your thoughts chris bambery thank you very much for joining us live t
