senator durbin talked about that. but i've introduced legislation that simply says if we raise the retirement age to 70, then members of congress can't retire until 70 -- can't retire with a pension until 70. why should we -- why should members of congress able to get a pension at 62 or 58 if they've served enough years but a social security beneficiary shouldn't until a decade or so later? so, madam president, it's -- it's important before -- as we talk about balancing the budget, as we talk about our fiscal situation, not to make a moral equivalence between -- between the riche richest people, riche% in this country paying their fair share in taxes, making that a moral equivalence to social security and medicare beneficiaries pay -- having to endure significant cuts. and when you're -- you know, some people around here call medicare and social security entitlements. that's the way they can be really dismisssive. we've got to fix entitlements. well, you talk to people, you talk to a 72-year-old in dayton or 68-year-o

summit in durbin is wrapping up today.elegates from all around the world have yet to commit to any comprehensive or legally bind g ing agreement to -- that would include an extension of the existing kyoto protocol. that appears to be a big shift from its earlier position. the head of the summit says that china is making all of the right moves. >> it has very clear targets for renewable energy, energy efficiency, the building environment, for reforestation, all the sectors that actually are emitting sectors. we should all be doing what china's doing. they are the model. >> very strong endorsement there of china's actions. well, the u.n. summit on climate change is now winding down against a backdrop of uncertainty in europe. earlier robin sat down with ban ki-moon to get his thoughts on this year's climate conference and his views on europe's debt crisis. >> my higs has been consistently clear and loud. it's important for world leaders to overcome this economy crisis. i would recommend strongly for them domestic stimulus pa

durbin: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. durbin: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: i ask the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: mr. president, i hope we're drawing to a close here. we're not certain. there are still some unresolved issues. but the omnibus appropriations bill is moving forward, and it will fund our government for the remainder of this fiscal year. it's been a long and arrested whitehouse process. -- and arrest -- arduous process. we called three appropriations bills in the senate and when we tried to call the next three we ran into opposition. the appropriations committee had to craft nine spending bills and put them together in one. it was a long, involved and difficult process with the financial services subcommittee which i chair. included in that committee jurisdiction are the securities and exchange commiss

durbin: thank you, madam president. like to speak in morning business and respond to several things said by the republican leader of the senate. the first relates to caitlin halligan who is the nominee to serve on the d.c. circuit court. the d.c. circuit court is the appellate court in the district of columbia which i would argue that next to the u.s. supreme court is one of our most important. the decisions of government are often sent to this court for review. at the current time there are eight who are sitting on that court and three vacancies and of the eight on the court, five are republican appointments. so it is clear that any effort now to bring a new nominee to the court may tip that political balance. i'm afraid that has a lot more to do with the fate of caitlin halligan than anything that has been said on the floor of the senate this morning. it's mistifying to me that the senate republicans would filibuster her nomination. she's extraordinarily well qualified. she served for seven years as the solicitor gene

durbin, canada is not waiting around.ask how accessible is canada's alberta oil market to the chinese market? >> mr. chairman thanks for the question and i'm not sure i can give you a clear answer on accessibility of china to the canadian market other than to say as you pointed out, they have made significant investment in the oil sands. i don't think that is in a surprise. it has been pointed out that canada has an enormous resource they are sitting on top of. they're going to find a way to get this to market. i think our focus and certainly at api, we share your disappointment with the decision to delay the pipeline but we are today utilizing oil sands and canadian energy resources to a great extent and i think it is in our national interest, our energy interests, our security interest to enhance that even more, so there is no question that canada is going to find outlets for their oil sands, their oil sands crude and we just believe there are too many benefits from a job creation economic growth and energy and national
