asked how dare you he said there is no option he said look around you the cia old a congress of industrial organizations was organizing tens of millions of american workers it was the unionization drive we had never had before in american history and we've never had it since seizing occupy wall street isn't big enough that's right well it's not big enough it's not cohesive enough it hasn't cracked enough people it's gotten majority support in the polls the sympathy is there but you've got to translate the sympathy into the mobilization that could go to obama and say you must do this or else in iraq and in europe we've seen by our arts coupled with our staring russia at the end it's the people that are being squeezed and suffering across the board on how much longer can that continue it's the sixty four trillion dollar question and the answer is it will continue only so long as the mass of the people permit it it is in a sense a game of push. the greece situation in greece which is a kind of touchstone there all americans should pay attention to because if we're not very careful that our future being pla

including land managers of our federal lands, our congress, and state congressional delegations, for example. the public, nongovernmental organizations. and as well as industry. so let me step back just a little bit so we understand what an unconventional resource a little bit better. this diagram is sort of a cartoon, cross section to the earth. conventional oil and gas resources occur in pools or reservoirs that are constrained on the top and on the sides by impermeable zones. and they often have an oil/water contact or gas/water contact. and unconventional resources, we technically refer to them as con tenuous resources because the oil resource or gas resources is distributed con tenuously through the formation at depth. and the rock is so impermeable or tight and that's why we need to use techniques such as hydro fracking and horizontal drilling to extract the resource. one example of the resource assessment is our recently completed marcellus shale gas assessment in the northeastern united states. being from this area, you probably heard of it, or maybe not. but at the bottom, i list here what our mean estimate, which was 84 trillion cubic feet of gas.

people including land managers of our federal lands, our congress and state congressional delegations, for example, the public, nongovernmental organizations and as well as industry. so let me ten back just a little -- step back just a little bit so that we understand what an unconventional resource a little bit better. this is sort of a cross-section through the earth. conventional oil and gas resources occur in pools or reservoirs that are constrained on the top and on the sides by impermeable zones. and they often have an oil-water contact or a gas-water contact. and unconventional resources we've technically referred to them as continuous resources. we say that because the oil resource of the gas resource is distributed continuously through the formation at depth. and it's held in the rock because rock is so empire meal or tight -- impermeable or tight you these to use external drilling to extract the resource. one example of a resource assessment is our recently-completed marcellus shale gas assessment in the northeastern united states. being from this area you've probably heard of it, or maybe not. but at the bottom i list what our mean estimate which was 8

of those chemicals haven't been updated for nearly four decades. osha should direct and congress should direct osha to update obsolete p.l.l. -- p.e.l.'s to reflect consensus among industries, experts and reputable national and international organizations. easier court approval also must be enabled. the current standard for judicial review is a major factor in affecting the time line of osha's standard-setting process. the existing substantial evidence standard requiring that osha research all industry processes associated with the issue being regulated is disproportionately burdensome when compared to the requirements placed upon other federal agencies. and the standard should be reevaluated. and, finally, deadlines and time lines for standards setting should be adopted directed by the congress. to minimize the time it takes osha to issue occupational safety and health standards, experts and agency officials agree that statutory time lines for issuing standards should be imposed by congress and enforced by the courts. i look forward to working with my colleague on these measures and others, and i hope that the memory of those 28 workers who were killed 25 years ago on this day will inspire and move us to take action as quickly and eff
