of the successful result of the national fight, eckert told stanton what he had done. he said he expected he might be court-martialed for it. stand and put his arm around him and said, if they court-martial you, they will have to court-martial me. so let us celebrate lincoln, but in doing so let us say that his appreciation of thomas was a laudable thing but let's also acknowledge that his belated appreciation of thomas was a significant factor in the conduct of the war. why is thomas not a household name? in the aftermath of the war, thomas was considered by many its most outstanding soldier. indy, a remarkable number of his contemporaries thought george washington was the only man of stature to whom he could be rightly compared. generals james h. wilson, james a. garfield, secretary of war edwin stanton, and assistant secretary of war charles a. danna all voiced that opinion. others concurred. general oliver o. howard.com is not only greater than stonewall jackson and robert e. lee, but washington's equal with less opportunity he wrote, his achievements put him by wa

some senators on the other side of the i'll try to confine concerns about judge sotomayor's for eckert to a certain case and single phrase that political spin i will admit makes for sound bites but even a casual observer of this process notes this political spin is simply not true. ironically those who would merrily characterized the case against confirmation want us to confine examination of judge sotomayor's record only to her cases while ignoring her speeches and articles. impartial review however cannot provide a complete picture. the appeals court decision is bound by supreme court precedent are not the same as supreme court decisions freed from such constraints. taking judge sotomayor's entire eckert seriously not only gives more information we need, but also gives the respect she deserves. debate over judicial nominations are debates over judicial power. and america's founders gave a solid guidance about the proper role of judges in our system of government. judges interpret and apply written law to decide cases. while judges can now change the words of our laws they can still c

spirits that sometimes want to invest a lot and it turns around they don't want to invest so much, but eckertwhat a total antiintellectual on satisfying explanation this is. hayek says there are real factors for why this occurs. and hayek focuses on interest rates and if you are inclined to say interest rates this is too complicated, i am telling you interest rates are so important. you are going to have a dream to light about an interest symbol chasing you around. what he says is interest rates are not just arbitrary numbers. you can't just change them and expect nothing to happen. we all like to have lower interest rates in the same way we will all like to have no cassell first 5 cents a gallon but we only one that if it occurs spontaneously pier the government makes milk 5 cents a gallon that doesn't mean to the coming year going to get cheap milk that means we are going to get no milk so anything that seems good for me as a consumer must be good and super and let's have the government force it. you might as well ask the government to abolish the law of gravity because that is what you are

we eckert our 5-dollar plastic cups of dalia coke. going to a strip club with your man is an interesting but miss test. we sat down at the bar i could tell he was uncomfortable. he leaned over to me and whispered i don't know where to look. [laughter] the girls worked their way down the bar, shimmy shimmy spread, shimmy shimmy spread. there's nothing exciting to me about seeing total female nudity. maybe i don't care because i've got that particular kit myself so the site is being in bed bath and beyond and seeing the same blunder as your kitchen and home. i've got one of those. i fiddled with my fist full of symbols laying out five for each dancer that came by. i hadn't had a lot of cash in my hand like this for a long time. god, i missed the gambler's mind of a good night when you have so many shifts and your fingers turn black from counting all the bills on the dressing room floor but this wasn't one of those jolly adrenaline pumping big money nights when the music was blasting and the impossibly hot smiling athletic girls were spr

for example in questions of capital the new system eckert screen works only be in a position to raise standards for regulatory capital for these institutions not to lower than. this would reduce ability of any single regulator to compete with other regulators by lowering standards driving a race to the bottom. and finally the government needs a credible resolution mechanism for unwinding systemically important institutions. currently banks and broker-dealers are subject to resolution process these but no corresponding resolution process exists with a holding companies of systemically significant financial institutions. i believe we have an opportunity to create a regulatory framework that will help prevent the type of system cresco that created havoc in the financial system and i believe we can create a credible regulatory regime that will help restore investor confidence i look forward to working with you to address these issues and doing all we can to foster a safe dynamic and more nimble financial system. thank you. >> thank you very much, chairwoman shapiro. the dam, welcome to th

pilots call it the groove and prior to one mission gwyneth approved h told the pilots general vander eckert said whoever puts the next tepito or the next dive bomb in the ship will get a ceremonial sword that had been taken at the battle of the bridge on the night of september 15th so they flew on up the career of and found a group of enemy destroyers and cruisers and went in on this attack and, you know, the flak that would be sent up by these ships against the attacking planes coming low on the water was like a ball of fire bert earnest made through and torpedoed one of those ships and was credited for it by other pilots on the mission with him and when he came back to him, larsen said you had over to general bamberger of's command scheppach and you're going to get that sort and so burt went over there and knock on the door and the staff colonel came and seemed to know who he was and what he was doing and bert came in and looked across the room and there was the general standard -- vendor durham and he said general, my own son is a vmi and he said yes, sir i know he was a first-class mind

in the 70's, 80's things get a little eckert of control then they go to aa and then there's for recovery and the book will have an interview with jerry garcia or hunter thompson or something like that and that's the picture you get of american drug use. i want to stretch it further back and figure out what real people were doing, that jerry garcia isn't a real guy but what people other than him have been doing. so one of the most surprising things to me was what i found about the relationship between the temperance movement in the nineteenth-century and the rise of opium smoking and platinum and other forms of opium throughout the 1830's so we move to that. at the time, and we are talking 1830's, at the time there was little research exploring the relationship between opium use and drinking but there was at least one noteworthy study in 1872 look of the opium boom by the massachusetts state board of health the reason for the traffic upswing in opium use concluded wasn't the chinese or the civil war it was the temperance movement. this unintended consequence of the call for sobriety wasn'

it is what rate of eckert after i was in this campaign. had they been reversed we may have seen a different outcome. if obama had won the south carolina primary by only nine points rather than 29 points which was always for the clinton campaign, for the obama campaign the most difficult day on the calendar. also, what if the florida primary had in fact counted as a real event and had not been delegitimized by the democratic national committee? david plus at a harvard conference immediately after the election said in public florida had been a primary hillary clinton might be the nominee. and then might well be president at that point. but the rules were the rules, the obama campaign understood that. they were willing to take rules. they figured out how to play the rules much more effectively than the clinton campaign. florida is one exceed the caucasus or another example. when it mattered the most, the obama campaign operated very skillfully and the clinton campaign didn't. later the clinton campaign became better but by then it was too lat

eckert least that is the definition i have always been told and used. there is nothing open-minded about going after a conservative viewpoint with intimidation. that is and open-minded. >> host: does that strike you as a real sense of fundamental insecurity on the part of the left that they believe their ideas are so weak or four or perhaps this country's center-right and their ideas will not be supported that because they cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas they feel they need to put the first amendment in 85 is and try to shut down conservative thought and expression? >> guest: i have no doubt about it because i truly believe that most americans when it comes down to core values have some conservative values and predominantly. i saw it in seattle when i program there. i was told by many people that conservative talk would never work, that it's berkeley north and one of the most liberal areas in the united states. but you get outside of that core area of downtown seattle, the core metropolitan area and it immediately turns more conservative beca

eckert challenge is how to translate that in public policy. you work on the hill all the time. you know there is often times a gap between where the american public is and where the elected officials are. they still remain concerned if they show any reasonable position on marijuana policy they will be called soft on drugs and thrown out of office. >> guest: that is these new proponents backing it or talking about the response will use as gin and rett your car and kill somebody and nobody is proposing use it around and take bong hits all day and getting your car. they wouldn't be useful, they couldn't hold a job. what they're talking about is responsible years like with alcohol that could be controlled, regulated by the government that might turn out to be something that could help everybody three >> host: without question i feed whatever the substance, responsible use is the key factor. i do want to stress even groups like norml who always favored legalizing marijuana, we have a paper called the principles of responsible canellos use and one of the first principles is it's not

have advertisers not found a way to follow the eckert, to follow the audience when we invented the caradvertisers quickly invented the billboard. as we move to television advertisers understood may be that static picture could be a moving picture. it took them a little while to get to the static picture to move. as the audience move to youtube we will find a way to move to video advertising to youtube as well. the reason we can't take television advertising is television advertising is mass to mass, coke ad against american ogle. what do you put against achad video against my favorite torian? coke ad not such a good fit. how do we make the deal ads as granular as youtube? deconstruction aside what about the notion cheap enough to be considered free still costs somebody money? this is the distinction between near zero marginal cost and fee will marginal cost. this entire conversation is predicated on this idea of marginal cost going to see roe. marginal cost going down close to zero. marginal cost never goes entirely zero but they get close to zero you can ignore them so back to the ori

>> guest: one of the founders of some eckert system. >> host: are you not allowed to see his and? >> guest: i don't know which person it was, i don't know who exactly it was but that is the story really to meet and part of this whole world will they start to live and where they got caught up -- silicon valley is in the fast track but there is a scene as companies explode to become a hot tip on block and sean parker was already a hot to on the block and mark became the hot kid on the block. >> host: do you get a sense of how mark and the people in facebook u.s facebook themselves? >> guest: good question. i know they are very -- the look at facebook all the time to see how to improve it. they see as an evil thing revolution like the change they made because of twitter. they are reacting to the world around them. mark >> host: have you tried to friend him? >> guest: i have but he's a private guide. i do have a fan page swift mark wants to get involved that would be great. he is a private guide. i don't know what he does on facebook but they do have sites. they are not public sites.

skeptical of the government ability to deliver on that change they had doubts about our party these eckert mize everything we did and we are quite aware of the promises that we had made. >> but i think certainly president carter felt, you know, that he had implemented this man and ask you work your way through that agenda to some success by found that as we moved through the years, it was more possible at the beginning stages like where are we going to put our priorities or what exactly is this program going to look like to have how and actable it was to be a factor not how popular but how and actable if you could move past the stuff that he campaigned on because to a degree he can't and he wasn't interested in how an actable it was or much less interested. but if you get past that kind of stuff and to the programs designed in side of the administration then you could at least get the congressional relations concerns to sort of move up the list of things that were taken into consideration. >> the other thing i think it's really important is we have all been involved in the development of t

building the space craft that shows some o the color chips we used once we got to mars to try to do eckert color rendering of the martian surface. this is a robotic arm, another key piecef instrumentation we needed to do the water experiment. so that's shown right here and this was the 2001 survey your arm so it's one of the old pieces of hardware but significant modifications were done after the fact and it st of became a surprise we were going to have to do this. the first thing that was done is it was lengthened because there was this concern you fly all the way to mars and to dig and dig and can't reach the ice so the arm was lengthened and the components were improved. at one point, actually when they did the design review after phoenix was selected the found there was plastic in certain parts of this so that was taken apart and replaced. but it's constructed out aluminum and titium. and a half feet long and it was to provide up to 400 nuisance of force at the tip so at the end of the scoop but i practice we ended up going up to about 160 newtons because that is what inspired it so it

try to address the changes as they are presented to the sometimes we do get stuck behind the power eckert and right now estimating system is deficient in the eyes of the dcaa because of the purchasing system review. >> what about the billing and accounting systems? >> the accounting system we have basically two items that we are trying to work through with the dcaa. the one deals with the discussion we put into a field in our automated system that's associated with a journal voucher so if we have a journal entry that goes into the accounting system, our accountants used to just put in a phrase that said the transfer cost. we have gone in and have provided updated descriptions. we provided training so our guys -- >> i have only two minutes and 20 seconds. can you give me the answers for the record what the differences are and what is holding you up from making accommodating the the dcaa on these other areas? my final question is to make a statement people could withhold anything from a sub because after all you are relying on the subs. my question is why -- haven't you look for other suspe

solving this problem will take eckert from individual agencies and offices, reaching out to citizensnd sticklers where available, and also will take unlocking public information now collected in unapproachable repositories like federal register or fed business ops. in order to unlock citizens for digital potential, the government must also recognize and an urgent body of technological expertise growing throughout the country. programmers, web developers and designers, both amateur and professional are discovering the skills are now irrelevant to many government problems and are looking for ways to help. data.gov helps the digital national sphere by offering the raw data necessary for innovation outside government, which in turn can inspire change within government. the successful ad for america and for democracy contest just to name to demonstrate the potential of this citizen developer creating dozens of applications that a little or no cost to the government. so influence datacom procedural information, and bulk data access can help in power since to a more fully participate in gov

it's hard to get countries to agree to anything and there are always reasons to say, you know, doha eckertr not countries except australia and brazil but want agricultural reform. we should pick something else. i think the path we have been on since the i.t. is one we haven't had many agreements and so, i think if someone has a better idea that will create as much growth and employment here than any other big producers, you know, i would welcome it, but i think the past we have been on on doing substandard fta where we are pushing eckert of what to do very elaborate you know, satellite transmission iaer's hasn't been that productive and at least in concept piquing the big countries in the big industries will be productive. >> the dirty little secret is the only way we will get many of the stone is if we abandon the most favored nation principle, and that is apostasy in the trade theology. the post portrayed theology. but what i am struck with in private discussions with treat people all over town is how often they volunteer the fact we need to rethink mfn and that is one of the challenges

i eckert spirit and opportunities talk the other night about the dustin and you always got the issueof the seasonal variation. some nuclear power is the way to go. i would like to see us develop a nuclear thermal rocket because it is a good way to get crew out there. it will give you their reliably at a high ips peak, about 800 seconds, 800 to 900 seconds which is about double of what we can do it hydrogen oxygen. we need to scale the technology but that is what it is a scale. we, are there. that stuff works. it's a very nice if roster. ips are you technology would be available for this at phobos and the martian surface, and again the idea is you could do this with demonstration. you could do a simple return this way and demonstrate some of the isru technology for you go to this mission. you look at propellant transference in storage i think that the deimos guys are pushing that, too. he would look at crew habitat, and fire matt kunkel, surface mobility. all of those are, in any way but in terms of me being a proportion guy you see of the tops of this proportion. so here's the road m

. >> as you know, senator there has been a major effort to try to make a more robust eckert on the troops deployed. i think the army is in the right direction on that, but clearly if you look at the feedback studies we have a long way to go, and if i made this wasn't exactly to your question, but if you look at the suicide rates within the army and in recent months the latest figure about 87 for this year we have an enormous challenge whether it is amongst the deployed or those back home. so that's something any army secretary would have a solemn responsibility to try to fine-tune, and if we have gaps in the training capabilities, lack of understanding amongst the officer corps who are interested with that forward deployed sensitivity than we have to do a better job. it is unacceptable to have brave men and women who commit so much on the battlefield come home and at the end of the day take their own lives. >> the growth in the number of suicide has been a significant concern to this committee and all of its members and it is important that you get into that issue as soon as you are confi

educating these citizens and in powering the citizens so they could eventually be able to hold their own eckerteaders accounble. >> host: in your new book, "the challenge for africa" the theme is leadership, international and what the community needs to do but also, what africans need to do for themselves. i wanted to talk a little bit about this notion to put forth about theracked mirr some duam and how that has impacted our africans few tir leadership and how the have kept them accntable and not kept them accountable. can you share that with the viewers?

had a currency called the valores and that is a mormon area and one of the reasons that there are eckert echols who later became the fed chairman feared so well and rescue the banks like the movies he bluffed out the window and that ellerbe loft and people behaved and went away and the bank did not collapse. one reason that happened is because the fake money which wasn't eccles but somebody else's book also in the mormon culture the bank. the mormons listened to other mormons and when a mormon told you not to withdraw your money you would think twice. >> host: with a sinking don't withdraw your money because it is still in here or don't withdraw your money because that will just destroy everything? >> guest: there's always laughing so somewhere in between. everything is fine, it's your murfs that cause the trouble commandeered a customer, come back another day. at that is technically true because no bank, really do banks have all the money. that is how most function. >> host: is the widespread consensus among economists now is what the fed should have done rather than raising interest ra

that the state will maintain its eckert and funding of the regular 8020 program of transportation projectsthin 45 days, april 3rd, governors had to certify the funds will be used to create jobs and promote economic growth and accept the responsibility that infrastructure investment is a appropriate use of tax dollars and they want all government to buy in on it. we made that clear going back to 08 when this committee moved such legislation and passed the house. we included in the recovery act. step number four, now the point at which federal highway administration approves the projects that the state has they were going to commit to these projects. they were submitted to the federal highway administration division office normally approved within one or two days. step number five is now the federal role is complete. the federal role, except for the periodic setting out of funds. the next steps are up to the states. state following normal contracting procedures sends out invitation for bids. contractors normally have 21 days to bid depending on the size or complexity of the project. the bids

how could i turn this into something eckert and inspire other people." it wasn't there.g, it started to rain, lightning strikes and under floors and you think where is the good? and it just wasn't there. like something out o the movie and you wat the character and feel bad but never think it would be you. that was me that night. and so, as i lookedt my dad as he driving the car itlicked back in my moment of frustration and disappointment something good could come out of this. are on aourney would take us places where i can't even begin to igine. last february we performed with stevie wonder. moments where you have to pinch yourself to even begin to feel the reality. i knew that was coming somehow, someday so i said enough is enough, enough feeling sorry for yourself. i made a commitment to myself that night would not let it slow me down. it's been an incredible journey. a lot of ups and downs. at my age i know a lot of you are saying he's still a child, but i can assure you that night i was a child with a dream and i was not going to let diabetes throw me down. and to th

was the most dramatic economic stimulus eckert as far as i know and i worked and that's basically all economists ca say iteemed to wk in world war ii so let's try it aga at a slightly smaller scale. >> looking atour son i have a question that relates to him so when he's in his college economics class is what do you think the dominant theory is of the day will be that will drive those studies? >> sali -- i mean, as it stands now i bet they will be pretty similar to the os we've got now. the 18 area people who have been talking this up for 20 years is the insights coming mostly out of physics but also other iences about complexity and evolutionary dynamics and nonlinear equations i could somehow lead to a better understanding how econoes work, and i am all for that. it's just it hn't happened yet as far as i know although i got this long comment on my block the other day from a professor i peking who says i was unfair in shortanging the work being done in evolutionary dynamics. so maybe there will be more of that but i did a lot of these really basic economic theory is -- they are the s

you heard that eckert 63 talk about what's to what works and stop doing what wasn't so after the break we will take a look at what is working on international level in comparing our results to theirs and then we are also going to take a zooming lines in terms what is happening across america. all right. about 15 minutes. thank you. [inaudible conversations] >> thank you, pat. [applause] i know you join me in thanking the sretary duncan and jim shelton for coming to our was imposing them which is designed for you and not the rest of the people who are here to talk about the subject of innovation and how important it is to the nation that we do things differently foall of our children. and it is coincidental. people asked why did they choose this symposium toake this sort of pushing forward on the concept of innovation? and i think that the work that we are herto discuss today in terms of what's good for kids with rigor and readiness initiative is one of the examples of of the kind of innovation that is going to be necessary to tremendous rephrase the achievement of our students, and so

that came on line that relate how sick the can shift some the global energy picture support to the eckertrd supply constrais ma strategic and unlikely. the relationship is very interesting andteve has written about this because in one way it is a natural partnership between russia and ina, russia has a lot of energy resources near china. china as we know has become a major energy consumer in recent decades so it's natural for china to purchase from china and not have to get it from distant persiagulf war african nations which are more politically unstable and which you have to be considered a conflict you are going to have those intercede by americans or in the ins. but they have been arguing over a variety of factors one of whicis the chinese are suspicious of russians because they are aware of not only cut offs the practice of going to the europeans and sing you have to give a higher pre and then they come to the chinese and it's like we are going to give it to jap. not always so explicitly but it's understood. and that's why you've got this recent deal the chinese say give the money t

america works is originally eckert i worked with on welfare reform.een found it under governor mario cuomo and they were able to break through at that time in the 80's in which several social workers went into private business and organized a for-profit company which will get paid if hard core unemployed actually changed their behavior enough to go to work and they only got their bonus if they would work for an minimal of six consecutive months. they became lost on gush langley successful which led other groups to hate them because they offered the opportunity -- >> [inaudible] >> because the america works was in indianapolis. then they have since branched into working with prisoners, formerly incarcerated folks who worked for direct employment when released from prison the organization works to develop a resonate, appropriate clothing, carfare and take all the things they learned working with hard-core unemployed and begin developing for prisoners how do you retrain people so they get a job, keep a job, or how to be on time, learn how to show up unde

bob ellsworth melvie laird, force eckert riggins, you call him your best congressional source. melvie laird. >> guest: yes, he was wonderful we would have a -- go up to his little hideaway office in the house of representatives and we would have when he was an, he was the most powerful republican of the house. ford was nominally the leader but melvie laird was in charge and he would say shall we have the shooter, we have little whiskey before dinner. everybody drink in those days and then he would really tell me what was going on in the house. but i got a scoop that he was being named secretary of defense, which was a total surprise. nobody -- by nixon. because everybody thought that scott jackson, a democrat, was going to be named secretary of defense, because nixon wanted one democrat in the cabinet. that was a huge scope, and it ran in front pages. it was a -- we got on a sunday night, put it out for monday morning and most peters couldn't get their own story. "the washington post" did but most papers couldn't and so they used our column on page one. c-span: one would bother

guard, one other ctor played io that, and that waa gentleman in the navy named art, the father of eckerthe concept of that in the navy and theod. he passed away from cancer a few years ago but he came up with a term called selfynchronization and his thought if you put information out and make it transparent and ma a ubiquitous and available to everybody there would be less task direction to be given. people understand the goal of the organizatn and would react instinctively and there would be less friction and inertia to have to be overcome to make the organization movednd that is the basis of networ centric warfar at that point, i develope@ a term that doggett me am and entire professional life. i was in a meeting -- this was made 15 years ago and i said something related to his work and i said transparency of informationreed's self correcting behavior. and what it does is provide immediate feedback loop bas on what you're doing and information and firemen yotr operating in and information is available to the organization. if it is out there and transparent you will in fact have to get

group of voters has grown over this period in addition to the age when you look at that video the eckert of disaffected republicans who make up the independent voters who traditionally have decided elections in the recent election cycles. that is the target. those are the people who gave him north carolina and indiana and virginia, and they are still the most important target for him, and i think, you know, one of the things people didn't realize early on is how he theiss people together. he says my story is like your story and your story is like the guy down the street. that is a technique as well as rhetorical device. it is a way to bring the crowd together to connect from the big party come to the people in the street and people on the floor something he learned as a community organizer and i think it is proven very effective for him in the white house and before. >> host: in the book you outlined evolution he went through from being a state senator, being elected to the senate, his insistence on meet the press with tim russert he wouldn't run in 2008 and then he began to hedge that s

but mother knows how to work the top down and the bottom-up and i think that is where eckert unique power from and why she is a case with people whereas some political leaders that have more power nobody can remember what they did ten years later but they will remember people that changed their heart. they don't necessarily remember a policy that changed with 20 years ago but they remember when people affect people's hearts and those are the things like mother teresa, dorothy david had a profound impact because they didn't see power just in adduce of itself to either make money or change policy that how you change people's hearts and i think that ultimately is the great power. >> i did the other thing that's really important when you talk about mommy you can't i don't think talk about her without talking about the importance of her family. that is first and foremost i think the july of her life and i don't mean just the five of us or daddy, i mean her brothers and sisters are really i think the great joy of her life and i think that permeates her whole life. everything is about her brothe

>> given -- given the size and systemic risk like it or not, we need a system eckert regulator.we simply do. >> you mean you want fannie and freddie privatized, but with a very stiff systemic risk regulator? >> for sure, for sure. yes. >> when you're doing is where the money flows. he won the wealthy institutions to be making more money off mortgage securitization than they are now. isn't that the only difference? >> i don't -- congressman, i don't see it that way. i think it makes -- i think it makes a difference. also, i could not have the kind of implicit guarantees that were everybody knew that fannie and freddie -- >> you think if we have a private institution the size of 5.6 stockley in dollars but there's not an implicit statement the government has to come in and rescue and it feels or as it brings the system down? you don't think we made that hard vote going back to september of last year because we wanted to, quote, bailout wall street. you know the circumstances of that vote, don't you? you know what the secretary of treasury and chairman bernanke told us, that famous

civil rights movement and it was about the communist influence on the movement and then the counter eckerty the likes of people like walter white head of the naacp for such a while to say we have nothing to do with the communist and of course then you get people like w.e.b. du bois challenging white and leaning more towards socialism and the kind of support it was coming from the soviet union you think back to so much of, arguments over the great actor, i'm blocking out his name, very much thinking that it is possible the soviet union had a different model in mind for treatment and equality of all races given what was happening here in the united states and paul robeson and so robeson of course becomes sort of enamored of the soviet model and things that might be the way out and of course that leads him to be involved in so many of the issues that surround him and i can think also of the case of some members of the naacp who began to espouse communist doctrine naacp chapters and that leads of course to then especially in the south white segregationist politicians to claim it's nothing but

ford and chief of staff by the way and in fact some of you remember that is where i drove to the eckert schricker fourth don rumsfeld at the washington hotel right next door and then of course my rule with the real president. let me tell you it is wake will being involved with the president. just days away cool and it is a job he would die for and i can tell you some of the coolest things i ever did that make you laugh like having my secretary call when i am at a dinner at the white house and having them say sir the white house is calling, we have room set up for you and i go in their thanks, glenn, it's my secateurs recalling. [laughter] everybody would be impressed and i would come back and they would say what is happening? and i would say i really not at liberty to talk about it but he will probably read about it. [laughter] i have more fun. giving up to camp david on helicopter one riding around in a golf cart is to die for. you have got a role to play in a political process. we did, they do, all of them do. if the president says x, you figure out an argument that makes x correct an

the for our original jersey girls and then monica gabriel and orie, this incredible woman, beverly eckertho recently died tragically in the buffalo grass, these women almost single-handedly got the 9/11 commission to come to be. these women gave my book to governor kean and he is the one responsible for me testifying before the commission. i go back to why should we care. qc dufflebag, those of you that have been delayed at the airport knowing that you can't -- you can only take so many liquids on a plane. you know why? that has nothing to do with richard read the shoup bomber, that has to do with ramzi ahmed yousef. you'll hear why in a minute. the fact you can't carry liquid on plan and have to take your shoes on before you get on a plane, ramzi ahmed yousef. that's all going to be on folded in this story. and the spiritual icon in new york responsible for both the trade center bombing and 93 and 9/11 omar abdel-rahman on the, but he's also responsible for the 1993, excuse me, what was called the day of the terror plot to blow up the bridges and tunnels in manhattan. the embassy bombing

in the islamic world in recent years, the people that want to see islamic law imposed in the most eckertdraconian way come out the winners. there are a large majority for that. supporting democracy as such ends up supporting the imposition of islamic law and these institutionalize discrimination that it involves. we have seen that in iraq and afghanistan as well as in gaza and elsewhere. so the question becomes the alternative, in iraq and afghanistan, the united states opted to allow for the imposition of islamic law and the installation of sharia as the highest law of the land, as stipulated in the iraqi and afghan constitution's. that is one method. at the same time united states is doing the opposite and contradictory thing by supporting the regime in egypt and the secularists in pakistan, they are working against the imposition of islamic law, at least in its full force in egypt and pakistan. neither choice is good, and it would seem to me that in the larger sense, if we are committed primarily to the defense of the united states and our allies, we don't really need to be funding th

america works is originally eckert i worked with on welfare reform.y have been found it under governor mario cuomo and they were able to break through at that time in the 80's in which several social workers went into private business and organized a for-profit company which will get paid if hard core unemployed actually changed their behavior enough to go to work and they only got their bonus if they would work for an minimal of six consecutive months. they became lost on gush langley successful which led other groups to hate them because they offered the opportunity -- >> [inaudible] >> because the america works was in indianapolis. then they have since branched into working with prisoners, formerly incarcerated folks who worked for direct employment when released from prison the organization works to develop a resonate, appropriate clothing, carfare and take all the things they learned working with hard-core unemployed and begin developing for prisoners how do you retrain people so they get a job, keep a job, or how to be on time, learn how to show

prepare national pandemic plans while the focus initially was avian influenza and there was a strong eckert cultural health and so on we did see from the start this was not just a heah issue and so from the start it was conceptualize the pandemic would be an emergency or disaster like eve and which would be jointly handled between the people involved in surveillance and epidemiologynd health services but also the disaster relevant and the experience has shown this to be true. paho mobilized 1 million tama flew to the contras a provided aid to protective gear to all the countries from different sources and have mobilized the count is now up to 100 technical advisers moved from one country to the next as the epidemic spad from country to country. at the moment, things seem to have stabized but there are ongoing activities in argentina, chile, uruguay. we are actually anticipated the second wave of the pandemic as it is nowinter in the southern and we are interested to see what effect ts would have on the capture and success of the pandemic. we are also has john spoke about yesterday anticipat

thing about military reform, i think russian politicians -- it's not just horrible, tariff and the eckertterrible pformance. russians have been spring loaded to do something about the military because they're tired of the bureaucracy and as politicians go they look for a pretext. into months after the georgian war they already have a plan. that means there was something there, se paper work was sitting somewhere. the plans don't appear just like that especially giving you have medvedev, putin, thingsave to be agreed upon. it doesn't happen like that. i think if they didn't want to carry out reform they probably would have easily shrugged it off but they decided they found all kind of things wrong with the military. in the military officer here could confirm in any war you can find all kind of problems. i still remember the campaign to liberate grenada when american officers had to make phone calls from pay phones. so you could always find problems. t so a lot depends how what is a threat, it's not a threat, it depends how we define the threat and what do we do ourselves? we tell the russi

just said without raising taxes, and i understand you want to raise taxes on a portion of people who eckertsignificant amount of money but i don't understand where you come across saying that people who urged under -- sorry, under $500,000 you want to lower that to $325,000, that tax? >> you got that wrong. tell me when you're ready for me to respond. >> go. >> i don't know where you got that low wording 500 to 325. i'm sorry, sir. >> [inaudible] >> no, 500,000 you confused. 500,000 is the cutoff in the bill right now where small businesses -- 500,000 is the payroll. if you're a small business and pay was under 500,000 or xm from the tax. i think that 500 is too low. i want to push that further. 325 is the income level for individuals where you pay a surtax. so i do think that when bill clinton became president in 1993i voted to raise taxes on upper-income people on the of the amount when you raise taxes it's on that part of the income, not that average. we raised it from 36% to 39% that helped reduce the deficit and had no negative of fact. i do not believe the people at that income stop w

this is with the actively eckert retroactive rates appear to be from the spurring event.te again people age 65 years and older will have much less risk than people between the ages of five to 24. so those are examples why they have made those recommendations. let me also point out that like any wonderful pandemic plan all of these plans will go out the window because normally what we do is we vaccinate and then the disease shows up. we may very well find ourselves in a situation where the disease shows up and then the vaccine shows up, and so our priorities may change and we are going to have to be very agile to rethink these very quickly based on risk. and then of course we are going to have public demand. the first time someone dies from h1n1 that has not returned and would not have a vaccine available and that person is outside one of the normal risk categories there will be, you know, a demand to rethink that strategy so we need to have some alternative models already in the can that think about how we would respond to those kind of things. we also are going to distri

that the state will maintain its eckert and funding of the regular 8020 program of transportation projects. within 45 days, april 3rd, governors had to certify the funds will be used to create jobs and promote economic growth and accept the responsibility that infrastructure investment is a appropriate use of tax dollars and they want all government to buy in on it. we made that clear going back to 08 when this committee moved such legislation and passed the house. we included in the recovery act. step number four, now the point at which federal highway administration approves the projects that the state has they were going to commit to these projects. they were submitted to the federal highway administration division office normally approved within one or two days. step number five is now the federal role is complete. the federal role, except for the periodic setting out of funds. the next steps are up to the states. state following normal contracting procedures sends out invitation for bids. contractors normally have 21 days to bid depending on the size or complexity of the project. the
