now we still call the drug czar the drug czar. and i'm reminded of a number of drug czars who were enormously effective and the reason for the czar term for presidents to emfa sides how important the issue was or is to the american people. why would my friends desire to tie the hands globally, if you will, in a broad-based amendment that eliminates funding for individuals who are in the course of their work impacting the american people, whether it's tarp or the b.p. oil spill, they are in fact helping get through a difficult problem. the very nature of the term, a difficult problem. so i would say to my friends, as i will be saying later about an amendment that has been offered, but i'm disturbed about denying funding to the transportation security administration, what i would say in cutting their office, not recognizing the value of their work, i would likewides say that it is crucial that we allow presidents, plural, to establish difficult tasks and to be able to select individuals to complete those tasks. i rise to oppose the

i've heard arguments about czars. i must say, i've talked to tens of thousands of my constituents and nobody is saying that czars are a problem in the united states of america today. i'm hearing a slightly better argument, one that i don't accept as a former banker, that we are separating consume brother text from safety and soundness. as a former banke i that those are not separate concepts. that when you have bank customers defaulting on their mortgages, when you have bank customers running up credit card debt and being subject to fees that they can't possibly repay, let me use that phrase again, that they can't possibly repay, you stick a knife into the safety and soundness of that bank or whatever institution that we are talking about. i will yield. >> you see the importance of having both of those issues, how there's not a hard dividing line between the two, is that what you're saying? mr. himes: that's correct. >> is the -- are they charged with looking at something other than cop sumer protection, something oth

on september 11, 2001, when the terrorism czar was asked to sit in the control room to take over the response on 9/11, the first call he made was to the port of the city of boston to shut down the port because of the l.n.g. facility in my district in massachusetts. mr. markey: that was the first thought in his mind. why was that so in because al qaeda had actually come in from algeria, jumping off those ships in boston harbor in everett, massachusetts in my district. now we've had a tremendous amount of development of natural gas in the shale formation and all across the country, an addition of 30% to the natural gas reserves of our country over the last four years. now if a city or state determines that the terrorism threat is so great they do not want an l.n.g. facility in the middle of their most densely populated area, it should not be the right of the federal energy regulatory commission to override the public safety decision made by the state and local police that it is too great of a danger. that is why the wu amendment is correct. we have a bonanza of natural gas domestically
