we would also like to speak on behalf of dick grosboll. it is not quite as close, but it is the same concept. he has that experience. and as the president of the board currently, as well as her expertise, it is something we want to keep. strong support, but also support for dick. >> congratulations, supervisor kim, farrell, and elsbernd from my disctri -- district. the last time i stood here and did this, i was radiant like everybody else. it was the worst performance i have ever seen by a government official well i was in their presence. mike theriault was elected to be the head of the building trades union because he was the most progressive, open-minded person that we could find. i first had a long conversation , and my wife and mike started discussing books. he is extremely well read. they had just read five of the top-10 bucks. -- books. he told you about his liberal credentials. i would say this board should look at mike as an individual that has supported not only immigrants' rights, but he supports poor people. people that need med

dick cavett "talk show is the book."ouse. >> we believe that if we solidify our position collectively in the u.s. and europe, as the rest of the world develops and is looking for a valuable, global and diversified partner, we will hopefully be their first choice. >> tom: veteran traders say the merger was inevitable. >> if they had not done this, some other suitor perhaps less well suited to push the point might have come along. >> tom: a look at what this historic deal means for investors. you're watching "nightly business" report for tuesday, february 15. this is "nightly business report" with susie gharib and tom hudson. "nightly business report" is made possible by:

dick is a little different. he's not big into restoration.ick is more our type of customer, which we take these cars and we try to make them into current day. in other words, if back in the day their braking was weak, we'll put four-wheel disc brakes. we'll put big brakes on the car. we'll, if they make a kit, we'll change the suspension so it handles much better than it did back in the '60s or early '70s or '50s, for that matter. so that's one of the things we do here, and dick is perfect for that type of customer, because that's what he wants out of all-- he's not worried if it's mismatching. he wants it-- if they got a better way to make air conditioning blow cold, he was cold air conditioning. if they got a better way to stop the car, he wants better stopping. he's not worried that if it says "l," which means lacquer-- he doesn't need to have lacquer on the car like you would on a restoration. if urethane's a better paint and lasts longer, he wants urethane on the car. this is hopefully what you're looking for. oh, yeah. very cool. everyt

dicks. mr. dicks: yes, i appreciate the gentleman yielding and i understand there's a school of thought that we should just let nature take its way. i believe so strongly on the west coast of washington state, we have from time to time had to come out and put in projects to save cities, save housing, maim housing projects. and -- major housing projects. and we've done this with the corps of engineers very effectively, using the best science. they have their big, in mississippi they have a big center where they study how to do these things. and yet, you know, yes it does cost a little bit of money but we are saving assets, billions and billions of dollars. and i just think that this is a very unfortunate amendment and we should on a bipartisan basis defeat it and let the corps do what it has to do to save cities and coastal areas across america. thank you for yielding. mr. young: i'd like to -- mr. frelinghuysen: i'd like to yield main to mr. kingston, a fellow member of the committee. mr. kingst

cavett looks at dick cavett when we continue. kids to have more exposure to the arts. kids funding for charlie rose was provided by the following: or maybe you want to help when the unexpected happens. whatever you want to do, members project from american express can help you take the first step. vote, volunteer, or donate for the causes you believe in at membersproject.com. take charge of making a difference. additional funding provided by these funders: captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: we begin tonight with president obama, earlier today he gave his first news conference of the year. he began by defending his budget proposal for 2012. >> what i think is important to do is not discount the tough choices that are required just to stabilize the situations. it doesn't solve it, but it stabilizes it. and if we can get that done that starts introducing this concept of us being able to, in a serious way, cooperate to meet this fiscal challenge, and that will

but dick came to lunch with sackett may one day and began talking. he told me then about how he had been addicted to painkillers. i had never heard this. and basically it was one of the factors that affected his judgment. he had had back surgery in the year 2000 and was just loading up on this stuff. he was ordering it on the internet. some of his close friends later confirmed to me that it has really affected his thinking and his character and a lot of people said they wanted nothing to do with him afternoon, that he would kind of just go bonkers. perhaps one explanation for what happened, but i think we have come up with a number of other forces and factors that are at work in this story. importantly to me was the cooperation of the prosecutor. some of the central figures in the prosecution and the investigation of dick scruggs were very generous and talking to me. john homan who initiated the investigation. by that time he had retired and actually had an office next to mine at ole miss and john was very helpful in laying out some of the early grou

it's another dick car. uh, and that car was gone over completely, 110%. that car we're going all the way-- complete disassembly, do every nut and bolt in the car. dick: the guy was saying that it was a restorable car, and a lot of the cars that you were gonna see had six cylinders in 'em and on the-- column, this was on the console, the 440s, so things that you'd want to start to work with. took a chance based on the fact that he sent 100 pictures of it, pictures of the fenders, no rust. when it got here, it wound up to all be true. this was gonna be a complete frame off. this was gonna go, um... especially when we started seeing the shape it was in, it because a no-brainer to bring it all the way up. it was a car to completely restore. alan: we're gonna redo the 440 we've got in there. obviously change cams, do head work. we're not going back to stock. we're not trying to make a stock motor out of it. we're painting that one a lime green

dicks' hand signals. mr. chairman, it's my pleasure to yield one minute to another fine member of illinois, mrs. biggert. one minute. the chair: the gentlelady from illinois is recognized for one minute. mrs. biggert: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. chairman, we've been -- we're now six months into our fiscal year, and we have not been able to pass a dozen or more individual appropriations bills in the middle of the fiscal year, so we really -- and we inherited a spending regime. but we have a mandate from the american people to cut spending. we must do it equityably, fairly, and quickly. and i think that mr. latourette has come up with an amendment that is a really fair way to do this, don't pick winners and losers, and don't do this without having the proper hearings and oversight. by reducing our discretionary programs at the same rate across the board we don't risk alienating future priorities or vulnerable constituencies that may receive funding at risk of being terminated. this whole body i thin

dicks: i yield myself five minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington state yields himself five minutes. mr. dicks: had mr. chairman, it is clear that a debt crisis -- mr. chairman, it is clear that a debt crisis is looming. there's no denying we need a comprehensive plan to reduce the debt over the long-term. what the majority offers instead in this bill is a one-dimensional focus on the smallest segment of spending in the federal budget. we believe that at this time we should be putting everything on the table, discretionary spending, entitlements and taxes . without a more comprehensive approach to this debt crisis, we cannot effectively change the trajectory and begin to bring our public debt downward. without a more comprehensive budgetary approach, what we would be offering to the american people would be what allen simpson has called a sparrow's belch in the midst of a typhoon. as we address the debt crisis, it is fundamental that we should first do no harm to the fragile economic recovery. h

dicks. mr. dicks: i want to rise in strong opposition to this amendment. first of all, working together on a bipartisan basis for the first time, we cut nearly $15 billion from the obama budget request in 2011 for defense and we did it on a very careful basis. this amendment would add another $56 billion to that cut. it would do damage to all of our acquisition programs. it would threaten the people in iraq and afghanistan and our efforts to conduct the global war on terrorism. so, again, i hope in a very strong bipartisan basis, we can reject this amendment and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. gentlelady from california. ms. lee: how much time do i have remaining? mr. hastings: 30 seconds remaining. ms. lee: the bipartisan sustainable task force report released last year identify at least $1 trillion in cuts over the next 10 years without sacrificing our strategic capabilities. according to the g.a.o., major weapons programs have suffered in cost overruns and it's time to end this war in afghanistan. these wars i

i don't think dick's ever gonna get along with it. he's not gonna like this car at traffic lights, 'cause this car's always gonna be lopey. my opinion on the camshaft going bad in the cuda is i think there's too much preload on the lifters, and then there was a bad lifter in the car. i can't blame anybody for that, 'cause that happens sometime in manufacturing, but i had a lifter that wouldn't pump all the way up. we'll test it and let's see how we can get it to run. number two exhaust was not staying pumped so of course the car's not gonna run right, and that's gonna let the lifter jump around. as far as-- compared to-- the reason i say what i say is compared to the same identical pieces are back in the car, and i have, like, two and a half turns less load on the lifter, which is a lot, and that could just... everybody does it a little different. you know, i wasn't at where it was built, so did they, you know, possibly they don't use the right braking stuff. i mean, there's a lot of factors involved, and it's hard to make a decision

dicks. mr. dicks: i appreciate the opportunity to speak on this issue. wounded warrior ridges -- rehabilitation programs that have worked with national and community organization vs. provided substantial support for injured members of our armed forces to participate in physical activity as an important aspect of their rehabilitation. research shows that daily physical activity enhances wounded warriors' confidence, achievements, and quality of life. these programs are essential and i would like to work with my colleague in the upcoming year to ensure those programs will continue. i yield to mr. young. the chair: the gentleman from washington controls the time. mr. reichert: i yield to mr. young. mr. young: mr. chairman, i want to congratulate and thank the gentleman from washington for bringing this matter before the house today. it is something that mr. dicks and i have worked with ever since these wars began. something that we cannot overlook, something that is extremely, extremely serious, a major debt that we owe to the men and women who serve our co

dicks had a very brief discussion on mr. dicks asserted that if you were to cut the homeless program for veterans, that it would have an impact. your response to that was that veterans health care is going to be plussed up. well, in my state last week my governor offered closing the homelessness office of the governor. florida is one of those states, because of its weather, that attracts significant number of people not only veterans but others to live outdoors. i began by talking about the least of us. i don't want to participate in no program that's going to hurt the least of us when the best off of us in society have gone about our buness ordinarily. and something is wrong with this picture,ot your responsibilities in offering a budget, but i just don't see how you're going to take police officers ost streets and expect crime to go down. how you're going to eliminate the most successful -- not eliminate but cut the

dicks, certainly appreciate your input. you know, when we're elected on november 2nd, it was a clear mandate in regards to they want government to operate differently, the american people. but the bigger problem is, we're out of money. and every one of these on this list i will tell you that i can sit down and go through them and there's a number that are near and dear to my heart that i wish we didn't have to touch. i think that's the case i'm sure with you, mr. dicks, and with the chairman. >> i represent the second poorest district in america, the poorest of my republican. my people are going to be asked to sacrifice more than anybody else except one other district. but they're willing to do it. i've talked to them. they're willing to sacrifice to help this country survive. >> i agree. >> that's what i was trying to say. every one of these programs when you look at each individual program, each of them have merit. each of these programs touch someone, and we all have our pets or we all have those that we think are more i

. >> i am speaking as an individual, i am recommending dick grossball. he has been an active community leader. not only has he been involved in many issues, he is currently chair of the north beach citizens. over the past four years, a supervisor elsbernd will confirm that he is respectful of other points of view. he comes to a balanced decision. i highly recommend kick -- dick grosboll. >> and the executive director of the san francisco labor council. we represent 100,000 workers. there are 15 units that are represented here. i am here on behalf of mike theriault. his knowledge of the industry's are paramount. he will be closing a gap that disturbs a lot of us in organized labor for the first time in decades. there is not a full-time working representative that serves on that very important board. i think this is extremely important that we do have somebody that works full time on that board. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am here in support of mike theriault. he is well aware of the issues facing the district continues his labor

dicks: i yield one minute to mr. cole from oklahoma, a valued member of the interior appropriations subcommittee. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. cole: it's been a great week for fiscal conservatives. we've actually enacted or are on the verm of enacting historic cuts and passing them through this body. we've let others come and participate with their ideas an suggestions. my concern is not the amount of money involved in the amendment, it's the method adopted to achieve the savings. across the board cuts essentially mean you lose the ability to eliminate to root out and to prioritize. in fact, you adopt the priorities of the people that wrote the original budget. with all due respect to my friends on this side that means we are adopting our friends on this side' priorities when we cut in this manner. so i think we should embrace the spirit behind this amendment. it's well motivated. but reject the method and go back to the thoughtful, targeted and tough kind of decisions that chairman roge

so from-- where did the musical, you know, concept come from, if you're motivated by dick gregory? dick gregory was a speaker. he was a man who organized movements. why did you do it through music? well, my earliest recollection of music is always in my household. my mother listened to motown, stax, atlantic, from roberta flack, aretha franklin, stevie wonder, you know. "chuck, do your chores." and you've got music playing, just, you know, seeping into your bloodstream and ear stream. and my father liked jazz here and there. but i was mainly into sports. i was into the organization of sports, and a lot of black folks made strong inroads into sports, and that captivated my interests. and the whole hip-hop thing that hit me in the middle of the 1970s got me into the music, because it was the technical aspect of it. technology. two turntables, a mixer, a microphone. i was totally confused. i was like, "why do they need two turntables? in case the one over there breaks down?" [laughter] "this person is very prepared." but that struck me as being, you know, something to get involved wit

dicks: thank you. ms. woolsey: i do believe canceling the v-22 and saving $10 million to $12 billion over 10 years would be real fiscal savings. thank you and i yield back. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from kansas. those in favor will vote aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. for what purpose does the gentleman from kansas rise? >> to ask a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings offered on the amendment by the gentleman from kansas will be postponed. pursuant to clause 6 of amendment 18, further proceedings will continue on which they were postponed in the following away, amendment 370 by mr. flake, amendment 87 by mr. pompeo of kansas, amendment 63 by mr. gutierrez of illinois, and amendment 86 by mr. pompeo of kansas. the chair will reduce to two minutes the time for any electronic voting after the first vote in this series. the unfinished business is a request for a recorded vote on amendmen

that's been a less than stellar start to the new football year for russia dick advocates men losing in their opening game of twenty eleven against iran but as richard from port fate reports the result wasn't the only news where the story of the night. this could be seen as the start of a new era for russian football it's the first time a national team has played a friendly match of a neutral venue a dummy has been very well received by dick of the cats and the rest of the russian national football team obscenities here are absolutely second to none while the temperature has been very mild in the low to mid twenty's which makes a very refreshing change for most of russia which is covered by a blanket of snow the moment. the only thing lacking was spectators have imagine played in the boy as was originally supposed to be the plan b. attendance figure would have been much higher nevertheless interest in the match has been high such as the large ex-pat russian population in the u.a.e. is the only or no we've got enough that i don't know exactly will influence the choice of the city but if

when you were there and it was happening at abc you resisted anybody saying that dick cavett was intellectual, cavett was... >> yeah, i offended some people but i absolutely cringed and still do today when somebody... sometimes it was a european who moved here and would say "you're the only intellectual on television" and i'd want to say "shh!" because i got that reputation partly because i didn't know that you don't to read the guest books from cover to cover to talk to them for eight minutes about it.

>> dick scaife has been a supporter of the american spectator for years. he's not now. he's a philanthropist. he's one of the very important philanthropists of the conservative movement. he's an extremely nice man. he's a philanthropist to the white house and to various -- his philanthropy is vast. and the day -- was it january 21st, '1997, '98, the day that hillary got on the morning talk shows and talked of whatever it was, and talked about the vast right wing conspiracy, she then went back to the white house and that night had to have a reception for a philanthropist who paid for the redeck race of the white house and who's there at her -- in front of her butt? the handsome patrician silver haired richard melon scaife. and he was not -- he was perfectly happy to say hello to her, but he told me later, he said, you know, bill was -- he's as red as a furnace, furnace-faced at the time. it took -- they had their pictures taken together at the white house. and generally you get your picture, the picture is returned to you in a month. it took him -- it took dick scaife nu

it took him, took dick scaife numerous phone calls to get the picture. but he finally did get the picture back. and to dick scaife's credit, i'll tell you that scaife has since taken an interest the president's initiative in africa, i think. and he is, the philanthropist that he is, dick scaife has given money to the clinton charity or whatever it's called. so he's, he's helpful in that regard. but i don't think he's helpful with any politics, political procedures that the ongoing president has. i think, i understand, you know, in the clinton crack-up i talk about how back in, once back up he was deciding what to do, and clinton floated the idea of becoming mayor of new york. and, no, that wouldn't, that wouldn't work. and so why not, he floated the idea become a u.n. secretary-general. and he made some kind of effort at being u.n. secretary-general which only reminds me of my earlier remark which is that the chronic campaigner is forever campaigning, and even in retirement clinton's interested in high office. >> host: why did you write "the clinton crac

dicks on this very important issue. i'd like to say publicly that democrats and republicans in the state of texas have worked together on supporting nasa and human space exploration. i'm sorry that i will not have the opportunity to support mr. olson's amendment or vote for it. he is absolutely right. human space flight is conducted in exactly one agency, nasa. and the general houston area and texas are impacted enormously. we have already lost 4,000 jobs. there will be a decrease of $1 billion going to nasa johnson. that will impact the impact in human space exploration. one very well knows a member of our community, captain mark kelly, the husband of our dear and beloved member, congresswoman giffords, will have the opportunity to be on one of the final shuttles, but what most of us are not aware of is because our memory fades us is how much we begin from human space exploration, research in hiv-aids in stroke and heart disease, in weather research, all improving the quality of life of americans. and so i stand solidl

[cheers and applause] i only wish the president had talked to dick about health care.aved us all a lot of trouble. the truth is that few people have done more over this past decade to correct what needs correcting, to remind american people of what strong, principled, conservative leadership looks like than dick cheney. and in, in -- and, dick, in case you were wondering, i think there's probably still time for you to file some paperwork for iowa and new hampshire. [applause] now, my thanks to david and to the american conservative union and for your invitation, for your years of dedicated leadership of the conservative movement. you're committed to the concepts of ronald reagan and bill buckley i and to the free exchange of ideas. i commend you for standing up for those time-honored principles. it's good to be here. i have been around so long that i remember a time when cpac did not exist, when ronald ray began was still an -- ronald reagan was still an actor, when barry goldwater was our candidate for president, and we only worried about socialism outside of the unit

dicks, certainly appreciate your input. you know, when we're elected on november 2nd, it was a clear mandate in regards to they want government to operate differently, the american people. but the bigger problem is, we're out of money. and every one of these on this list i will tell you that i can sit down and go through them and there's a number that are near and dear to my heart that i wish we didn't have to touch. i think that's the case i'm sure with you, mr. dicks, and with the chairman. >> i represent the second poorest district in america, the poorest of my republican. my people are going to be asked to sacrifice more than anybody else except one other district. but they're willing to do it. i've talked to them. they're willing to sacrifice to help this country survive. >> i agree. >> that's what i was trying to say. every one of these programs when you look at each individual program, each of them have merit. each of these programs touch someone, and we all have our pets or we all have those that we think are more i
