history of the family, for example, and it was as though -- i remember being met with looks of rummy-eyed disbelief as though i uttered some unspeakable profanity. and then the next day i tried to kilnle the enthusiasm of one of any undergraduates in something very marginal, say the russian revolution, and i was meant with twinkle, which reminded me very much of what cousin gentleman's jasper says, treat the dawns like the village parseon and you won't be wrong. i wanted to sort of wipe the smile off their country gentlemen face and i wanted to be able to teach what wanted, and harvard hired me for a term, and the first thing that the department chairman at harvard -- i guess this was 1979 -- said to me. what would you like to niche and no one had ever -- what would you like to teach? just staggeringly trail blazing thing to say. so i was in clover at harvard. i crossed over between art and history as i have been doing ever since, and i found the american university much more hospitable to that coined of interdisciplinary exchange, and would flirt with anthropology and philosophy and that

he's kind of a wild-eyed special forces assassin.he's been put in charge of heading the operations. petraeus's own counterinsurgency advisor in work, he described the obama/petraeus/mccrystal policies is a fundamental strategic error which may lead to the collapse of pakistan. he says it's a calamity that would dwarf all other current issues given the country's size, strategic location and nuclear stockpile. it's also not too encouraging that pakistan and india are now rapidly expanding their nuclear arsenals. pakistan's nuclear arsenals were developed with reagan's crucial aid and india's nuclear weapons program has got

now i have here, the manager of now, now i have here a wild-eyed liberal from nebraska, ben nelson. if this is not place to start there is no one with a more measured place than the senator from nebraska. he's an experienced legislator. he's been governor of the state. he understands problems. he's in addition to that a fine person. why can't we move to this bill? i say to my friend from south carolina, we're happy to work on a finite list of amendments, but all we want to do is legislate, to get on this bill. this man has been here for days -- that's not true. since yesterday to go to this legislation. so i would hope my friend would allow us to go to this bill. we'll work with you. senator nelson is one of the most reasonable people i've ever worked with. so i don't see what fear my friend from south carolina should have by going to the bill. we have no games we're playing. we are not going to try to cut anybody off offering amendments. there will come a time, perhaps, when i will talk to the republican leader and say: have we had enough of this? mr. demint: senator, i'm prepared

you may cash a three-eyed fish. at any rate, this is all contaminated. it is all a sink hole, whether it's from treece, kansas, in region 7 in kansas city with the e.p.a., or whether it's picher, oklahoma, in region 6 in dallas. i don't know what the difference is. if this is contaminated -- and it is -- and this is contaminated and looks the same -- and it is -- what the heck is the difference? let me show you another angle so you can appreciate what i'm talking about. this is what the people of treece see every day as the sun rises and sets. this is a giant chat mountain. all of this contaminated soil. this side of the chat mountain is treece. the other side is oklahoma. same situation, same problem, same contaminated soil, same sink hole and the same thing on the other side, except e.p.a. 7 in kansas city can't get it through their heads that this is identical to the same problem over here. and instead of spending $25 million to clean up and put topsoil on contaminated soil that will sink, why can't we spend $3 million to save a community of treece an

history of the family, for example your and it was as though i remember being met with looks of rheumy eyed disbelief as though i uttered some unspeakable profanity. and i thought i've got to get out of your. i think the next day i try to kindle the enthusiasm of one of my undergraduate in something very marginal, say, the russian revolution. and i was met with extremely wicca which reminded me very much of what cousin jack said treat the dog likes of village path and you'll go far wrong. i was sick of being treated that way and i want to sort sort of wiped the smile off their eloquently country gentleman space. what i really wanted was to be able to teach what i wanted, and harvard sort of hired me for a term and, you know, the first thing the department chairman of harvard, i guess this was 1979, said to be and what would you like to teach? and no one had ever, would you like to teach, you know. staggeringly, trailblazing thing to say. so i was really, you know, a piggy and at harvard. i found the american university much more hospitable to that kind of disciplinary exchange, and i would

said would meet the qualifications, design, engineered, eis completed, right away acquired, and all that'scking is the money. and they gave us -- our committee both sides, that information. then, we said, all right, now, the governor must sign off on two documents. the document of the program of projects to be carried out under the 8020 program and a program of projects to be compared out under the 100% recovery act funds. and the same with the transit agencies. because we don't want job substitution. we don't want project substitutions, this is going to be net new jobs created. and in our reporting, we are watching very carefully to, we'll have more complete information or more advanced

university that just received $1 million grant or close to from the mullen foundation for an almost eyed call purpose, a private university that has an endowment of $268 million while we have a public debt of $11 trillion and a deficit this year of $2 trillion. if we can't decide that we're not going to give $1 million earmark in this manner, where are we going to cut? when are we going to say enough is enough? we're spending too much. so i commend those who are looking for ways to save, but i have to remain a little skeptical if we can't do away with earmarks like this. with that, i urge support of the amendment and yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from arizona yields back. mr. frelinghuysen: i yield back. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from arizona, mr. flake. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the noes have it. the amendment is not agreed to. the gentleman from arizona. mr. flake: i ask for a recorded mr. flake: i ask for a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18 further proceedings will be post

in all these cases we believed in a very clear-eyed way with the company in the lead and the treasory questioning them every step of the way commercial decisions were made about how to treat each constituent. i believe everyone has made enormous sacrifice and i believe those sacrifices have met two tests. one, in each case, the stakeholder did better than he would have if the government had not intervened and second, he was treated in a fair way, given the commercial realities of the marketplace. as you know, in the chrysler case, a bankruptcy judge heard over 30 hours of testimony on this exact set of questions and ruled completely in our favor in a very detailed 37-page opinion. it was jump held unanimously by the court of appeals and the supreme court just decided not take up the matter. they did not see any issues that rose to them. i believe this received enormous scrutiny the all levels and we are quite comfortable. we understand there are a lot of disgruntled people, but unfortunately in a failed enterprise, that's inevitable. >> thank you. senator bahy? >> mr. bloom, i assume

have was basil cells, small carcinoma which are never malignant and have to be removed from most blue eyed blondes in the course of getting older. when my husband was diagnosed with bone marrow failure disease, the insurance company denied any coverage for his medical care citing a pre-existing condition. we were left with over $125,000 in medical bills. my husband has now passed away, and i am just thankful that i am not in complete financial ruin. sally from madison, wisconsin writes me to say, i have had my own law office for 29 years. i employ two full-time employees and one part-time employee. i provide health care benefits for our small firm. but i have faced an annual increase in premiums of 12% forcing me to pass on higher cost sharing to these three employees. one employee has diabetes. and also extends coverage to her husband who is a dairy farmer without health insurance coverage. because of their high medical costs, it would have been very difficult for me to find new health insurance without facing even higher rates. health insurance is becoming steadily less inclusive and mor

ken says, "i'll never forget him -- blue-eyed and red-haired." and this german sergeant pulled up his schmeisser -- a machine pistol -- to shoot russell and steele, hanging there on the steeple, and sgt. john ray from homer, louisiana, came down right behind that german. the german turned and cut him, as i gather from ken's story, almost literally just cut him in half with a burst from that schmeisser, turned back to shoot russell and steele, and sgt. ray, in his dying gasp with his guts spilling out, got that .45 out and shot that german in the back of the head. then ken cut himself loose from his risers, and in the process he cut off one of his fingers and didn't know it for the next three hours. he ran. he said, "i was the loneliest man in the world." he ran through the village, got to the edge, and there was a german flakwagen, a 20mm gun, shooting up at the dakotas, the c-47s bringing in the american airborne. ken says, "i did what i was trained to do. i pulled the pin on my grenade and tossed it up there on that platform, and they weren't s
