minorities who want to be -- who want to know who is living and who was dead, and schopenhauer and einstein and all of those and greece and rome, even if they are not in those fields but they want to know about that? are you worried about that? what are you doing about it? >> you want students to study history and literature and philosophy, and to ask the questions about what life is about. the best education, quite frankly, has to be that broad education. >> it is not about training or technical education. >> it is the humanities and the arts. those things are very important. >> we have reduced our education courses by 25% so our students can take more courses in the arts and sciences. >> let us thank our panel.

even albert einstein said, and the man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kids the attention that it deserves. and you wonder where i'm going with this. i am just trying to make the point and here it is. the truth is, no one would dispute that finding true love is a fine goal, a beautiful goal, and many of us whether we admit it or not have this as the front of or the back of our mind all the time. so my question to you is this -- wouldn't it be great if each of us, every single one of us, had that same vote intensity when it comes to caring about the world out there, at the front or the back of our mind all the time? when the world be a different place? martin luther king said, if a man and i will add a woman has not discovered sooething that he will not die for, he is not fit to live. and i don't think he was talking about just falling in love. since some of you are going out to make some money. good, and good luck with that. some of you are going off to graduate school, also good. i know that some of you have very specific ideas about what you

albert einstein said at the insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expecting same result. -- and expected results. -- and expect different results. the industry has demonstrated susceptibility and i along with others were prepared to concede. the industry is crying out for limited regulation. does anyone believe that only having a few airlines in operation, each with market control would benefit the country? if one of these carriers should fail, how would this impact the country. there are serious concerns about the viability of a combined carrier, but the industry in general. although we have met both airlines, we still have many questions unanswered. we estimate that the united merger would start out with $13.8 billion in debt. what is the bill yet -- what is the plan to deal with that debt structure? closing hubs cascade of job losses and continues throughout the communities. will this destroy competition and harm consumers? as details about combining characters -- carriers emerges, we ask congress to help determine if this transaction is good for employees. the carrie

i hope we will use this awful experience to do what einstein encouraged when he said in a diversity lies opportunity. to find the opportunity. not just to stand up and meet your obligations which you are attempting to do on behalf of bp. we will find a way to move away from our dependence on fossil fuels and petroleum, especially the stuff by an unstable countries around the world and places that are hard to extract and we will find opportunity to move our economy in a new direction. i think there is that opportunity and we have to be smart enough -- we need to seize the day. we have to get through this day. through these days in these weeks and months in a way that gives not just the people in the gulf of mexico but the people in this country satisfaction that our best has been done and will becontinue to be done. we have to make sure this does not happen again. thanks to each of you for joining us. and your responses. some members of the committee will want to ask questions for the record. they will have that opportunity. they have two weeks to submit those questions and we ask the use

i am sometimes reminded of apparently sometng einstein once said that the manifestation of insanity iss. we've got to do things differently. another factor i will be looking at myself is the presenc of the haitian government has both national, regional and loc manifestations in the recovery. .. >> my third barometer would be looking at the role of ordinary haitians with their country particularly the youth where are ordinary haitians in the rebuilding process? has it been effectively mobized with the cash for work programs? i have seen reports from the haitian press of frustration that the population is not being mobilized lower included in this continues and idle mines and idle hands can result. this is an important opportunity to mobilize ordinary haitians to rebuild their country and to learn skills sanding gauge talent and have a greater ske in their country. and as a subset of that barometer i will we watching very carefully for success or failure to decentralize th country and the general referred to the population on the countryside and those of you know, me i will we watching v
