engel, and the gentleman from texas, mr. barton, ranking republican member of the energy and commerce committee. the bill directs the f.c.c. to adoption regulations prohibiting caller i.d. spoofing in which a caller falsifies the original caller i.d. information during the transmission of a call. with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully to obtain anything of value. the bill makes anyone who knowingly and willingly engages in caller i.d. spoofing eligible for criminal fines. spoofing has been possible for many years but generally required expensive equipment in order to change the outgoing call information. but with the growth of voice over internet protocol usage, spoofing has become easier and consider fully less expensive as the number of websites are now offering spoofing services. consequently those who want to deceive others by manipulating caller i.d. can now do so with relative ease. spoofing threatens a number of business applications, including credit card verification and automatic call routing because

engel: and frankly it just gets worse and worse and worse. first they say there will be hundreds of new air flights from new wark airport flying over my constituents in rockland county, new york, and now we learn that they have changed the plan and made it even worse. they are now redirecting an additional 100 flights per day through j.f. kennedy international airport through rockland county. they did this without consulting any elected official whose constituents are affected by the increased traffic. more so when we originally requested that the redesign be altered so that the flights would be directed over less populated areas, the f.a.a. had the gull to say that the plan could not be changed because it could then be opened up to lawsuits. now we find that they have gone and changed the plan anyway to suit their own ends. i find this insulting and hip hip -- hypocritical. typical government agency bureaucracy this. plan was concocted with zero input from the residents it harms the most, particularly my constituents in rockland county, it w

. >> they have also detained the mayor of engels. >> yes, i know. >> but, mr. putin, it appears these people were just lucky to have met you so that you were able to support them. but in other places, who can people turn to? >> as i said, it is society as a whole the regional authorities, federal and public organizations that should monitor the situation very closely. and every one of us, every citizen, when going to a polling station, especially when electing local administrators, should give their vote to a candidate for his or her for personal and leadership qualities, and not on the basis of empty pledges. as a rule, people who live in small towns and villages know>> they are just afraid to say so. >> yes, perhaps some of them are afraid to talk. but when they vote for those candidates, they should remember that the ballot is secret. and they should not trust the promises made by such shady characters. every one of us should be aware of the consequences of what we authorities of responsibility. >> we have questions from the call centre. i give the floor to

i mean, marx and engel, you all thought of other western thinkers.we have legitimacy to talk about that. is far more difficult for a nation like the united states or the nations of western europe to engage in a dispute about ideas, in a religion that is largely not our own. i understand where multicultural societies but i enlarge our historical tradition is geocricket -- gao christian. when we do engage in that we probably do make things worse, and so this is a question about authentic voices within islam working on the future of islam and what that then does to what i suggested earlier, the motivation for folks. a very long answer but an important distinction. >> a question here in the front. >> thank you. i am a journalist and author from pakistan. in the last two years we have been hearing from the american media that pakistani military is not rocha and its length with the islamic terrorist, taliban, lashkar-e-taiba of the pakistani military. the americans have been responding to this by giving more and more militant aid to pakistan. the question

i just want to recognize eliot engel who joined us. thank you for all your hard work. elliott has been a stalwart advocate and fighter every step of the way. thank you. our last speaker is someone who not only has a way with words, but he is someone who always speaks from the heart, and that is where the truth comes from. i have to say that we have no better advocate, no better friend, no better ally than john. john took it upon himself many years ago to say he was going to make a difference in this legislation, that he personally was going to bring his will upon this congress to do the right thing. and that will is so extraordinarily strong, and despite all the challenges he faces with his own health, he has mobilized hundreds to stand with him every step of the way, i just want to thank you, john, for your unbelievable advocacy and the heart of gold you possess and the absolute infectious nature of your desire to make a difference.

engel: i rise today to speak in honor of my friend and colleague, steven sollars who passed away last month. when i first came to congress, congressman sollars was a senior member of the foreign affairs committee and inspiration to me as i joined that committee. i enjoyed his advice and counsel. i sat on the top rung of the committee and that's where i'm sitting today. he made speeches that made his colleagues stop and listen. he was a guru and the world will miss his knowledge and expertise. at a party, i met the former foreign minister of israel. together we shared the determination to protect america's relation with israel. we both understood that the u.s. must continue to engage on issues of importance around the world. like me, congressman sollars is a figure from new york's public schools. we shared the passion for public service and i will miss his advice and friendship. i consider myself lucky to have known him all these years. my wife goes out to his wife nina and children randy and lisa. the rest of the country and the u.s. house of representatives mourns with them. the spea

engel: thank you very much, mr. speaker. i rise today to condemn the actions of the government of brazil, argentina and uruguay for recognizing palestine as an independent state before there are conclusive negotiations between the israelis and palestinians. the prime minister of israel gave a 10-month moratorium on any kind of a building of additional settlements or houses or anything like that, in exchange for talking with the palestinians. the palestinians waited nine months and didn't talk and in the 10th month they talked and now it ran out and the palestinians are again placing preconditions and refusing to talk. palestinians must know that a peace agleement with israel is the only way they can have their palestinian state. it can't be done unilaterally and what brazil, argentina and you're guy did -- and uruguay did is not something that can be supported. this is something wrong and should be condemned. it gives the palestinians no incentive to sit down and talk with israel and bargain in good faith. thank you and i yi

nbc chief foreign continue richard engel recently travelled to tanzania where a controversial projectarms. >> it is an important story and conservationists are very worried about it. the environmentalists say they know exactly what the impact will be if the government of tanzania goes ahead with its plan to build a road right through the sarangetti. the name means endless plains and it's no wonder why. the 5,700 square mile national park in northern tanzania is widely believed to be one of the only remaining place where is the world looks as it did a million years ago. with two ton hippos yawning confidently, too big for any predators. grateful giraffes, zebras with their plump bellies, and lions, the kings as they're called here. but this eden of biovdiversity s in danger. conservationists say the road which has strong political support in this poor country is a scandalously bad idea. we set off in a four by four jeep on the trails and dirt roads that could soon become a 33-mile, two-lane highway. our first impression, zebras, wildebeests and others -- >> now there's just a few trail
