dr. harris? >> sure. very very briefly when the trace data first became publicly available, mike piebar now a commissioner of the exchange of the s.e.c. and i and another woman named amy add ward did a tudy of transaction costs and bonds. and that study showed something that very few people have appreciated. and it's a shame that they don't. it shows that an issuer who has lots and lots of issues that are very complicate that those issues trade in less liquid markets than the issuers who have few issues outstanding and issues that are very simple. and so we should somehow try to figure out how to great the issuers, which they are municipal issuers or whether they are corporations to issue fewer bonds. they can reissue existing bonds. the states can form municipal bond banks. so the mosquito -- distinct doesn't know anything about it. if we could just beat down the number of names these markets would operate more effectively. they'll be liquid again and it's according to the demand. one other very quick co

dr. harris? >> this is a great opportunity to participate in what i expect will be an interesting discussion. several of my co panelists have already identified definitions of liquidity which i completely concur. it's the ability to trade when you want to trade without too much impact and in reasonable sizes. now, the question is where does liquidity come from. the ability to trade is provided by other people who are willing to trade with you. and it's really important to think about, who are the other people who might be willing to trade with you? >> traditionally, we think about dealers as intermediaries who are willing to do those trades you want to trade, the dealer will come and provide you with that service. and i expect that dealers will always be very important in fixed income markets and to a lesser extent in equity markets as well. >> the equity markets is extremely cheap to trade an awful lot of risk. the credit risk associated with equities is much greater than the corporate bonds or

harry wrote a book called "upon the altar of nation." dr. mcpherson: of the nation. harry stout is a history of american religion and he called his book a moral history of the civil war. he talked about the just war theory going back to saint augustine. and he talked about the way in which, there are two ways to address the question of a just war. one is the reason for going to war in the first place. he came up with the conclusion that the only legitimate reason the only just reason for going to war was self-defense. a defensive war is a just war. and the other dimension of just war theory is the conduct of the war. he came out with the idea that the confederates were fighting a just war in the sense that they were defending themselves against invasion. my answer to that would be, who started the war? you could define the union motive for going to war as defensive. defending the flag, defending the union. the conduct of the war though, is i think what you are interested in and that is what the book was mostly about. and he indicted the north and abraham lincoln for c

dr. harris would authorize the n.i.h. to conduct a prize prament program. the intent of the amendment is to incentivize health innovation by offering competitors the chance to win a prize for developing breakthroughs. we ought to be encouraging that. importantly, individuals who win the prize competition would keep all of the intellectual property rights. i think that's very important. i would ask my colleagues to support the amendment. i look forward to working with both sides of the aisle to make sure that we can, in fact, perfect it as we get to the end of the cycle. and ultimately to the president's desk. and yield back to the gentleman from indiana. the chair: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: i yield back my time. the chair: the gentleman yield back. mr. young: i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from indiana yields back. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from indiana. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the amendment is agreed to. it is n

dr. lisa harris, the deputy superintendent of charleston county schools was the only candidate with the right experience to manage the fallout from a provocative incident that recently rocked the city. >> last october it came to light that members of the football team from academic magnet high school were engaging in an odd watermelon ritual after wins. members of the team would buy watermelons and draw big toothy grins on them and smash them after victories while allegedly making monkey sounds. >> after they would beat these teams, predominantly turned out to be african-american teams they would pick up a watermelon, draw a character on it. >> with william pugh was on magnet high school. he is not on the team but wrote an article for the school website about the rituals that happened last fall. he reached out to members of the football team. >> all the times i would try to talk to them, see what perspective their viewing it from and why they didn't see correlation between stereo types and watermelons and african-americans and a lot of times, it was a lot of i guess friction. >> after the wat

dr. harris. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. harris: curing disease and suffering. this is obvious from tonight's debate. preventtive measures are important but there are difficult ease ease that we don't know how to prevent much less treat. the purpose of the innovation fund is to accelerate the discovery. i did research on diseases. anyone in the country who doesn't believe that we will cure alzheimer's or a.l.s. only a matter of time and investment that put in it. we have a lot of the pieces in place in order to create these tremendous new discoveries and this bill gets us on the path. there is going to be a lot of talks of cost. but this isn't just measured in dollars but in families in ways you can't measure in dollars. any family who treated a member with alzheimer's understands what i mean. a lot of those costs are huge. and if we can cure it, we can save those. mr. chairman, it's time to invest in those cures. we can't afford not to. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. pallone:
