then we have markham erickson a partnered steptoe and johnson and gus hurwitz a professor at the university of -- college of laws. different views on the subject and we will get going really quickly. if anybody hasn't heard about net neutrality or what it is i don't think we really need to go into much detail on what it means but basically it's the idea on the internet consumers access content and their applications and their services all be treated equally and how that happens in the legal authority for which has been a tortured conversation at least since 2005. let me just quickly i think the fcc laid out their plan yesterday. chairman wheeler had a boat on his notice a proposal making and i'm going to ask matt to tell us how we got here. we were here in january's 17th after the d.c. circuit court struck down the previous fcc chairman's plan for open internet. this is another crack at it taking cues from the circuit court's decision and trying to rewrite it. chair and wheeler the fcc chairman had a vote 3-2 or at least two in favor and two against again spoke. then we are going to ask gus

and you look, before the final votes were tallied, mitch mcconnell had gotten a check from erick erickson, influential conservative blogger. and then you had freedomwork, the senate majority fund. all of these groups trying to beat him, immediately, saying we're on his side. >> well -- >> that just wouldn't have happened last fall. >> i know you'll say, well, gee, that's just a safe thing. but, no, these groups, this was a movement who was defined by what jim demint said which was i'd rather have 30 people in the senate who think like me. than have the majority of republicans in the senate. and, you know, we talked about it after the government shutdown blew up, you can tell all of these groups have felt pressure since then from republican donors and conservatives. saying we want harry reid out as majority leader. boy, you saw it. there's no civil war in the republican party, at least from what i saw. >> i think part of it, too, they realize they picked the wrong guy in matt bevan. >> cockfighting. >> they should have researched more on the cockfighting thing. it's the scarborough doctrin

you know how many people stand up and down themselves jay erickson who are the. jason not respect not very often don't fit off enough i want to ask you when it comes to special interest there's the voting public as well and take the auto bailouts for example how the bailouts of chrysler and g.m. causing us taxpayers a lot of money but what about all the manufacturing jobs the bailout saved what about those. well we don't know that it did it did say that but let's assume it did. what interests me is all the jobs lost to offshoring and to read we now have this report. from the after college twenty four career inside we just had this report and what took twenty years that eighty three percent of college students right now as of april don't have a job lined up for the many graduation. eighty three percent. of the current graduates american colleges and universities as of april they have no jobs or there are many graduation now when i was current through college this was impossible for me everybody had to agree to have all but now what about a thousand thanks though w

i rise today to recognize the extraordinary life of johnny erickson toda.ohnny was 17 years healed, she was just like any other high school graduate. she was thrilled to be on the brink of college and she was excited to spend a summer swimming in the nearby chesapeake bay. with high school behind her, she was ready to really begin her life. she was not prepared, however, to have her fourth cervical vertebrae crushed in a terrible accident. an accident which would render her a paralyzed quadraplegic and shatter her mobility and independence forever. unfortunately that's exactly what happened. on july 30, 1967, while diving with her sister, she misjudged the depth of the water and snapped her neck at the bottom of the water. she lost all movement in her hands and legs and was rushed motionless to the hospital. johnnie spent many crueling months there and often thought about killing herself. she thought her life was not worth living and she didn't want to be a burden on her loved ones. there were many nights i would wrench my head back and forth on the pillow

when he retired from mccan mccann-erickson, he didn't quit working, he went to work for others. and he passed away after a very successful planning session for 750 people coming to a black-tie event which will raise over $1.5 million to raise money for veterans with ptsd. he never stopped working for those less fortunate and those who needed help and his commitment to that project is unparalleled in our city's history. when we all go to this dinner on this coming june 1 that evening and celebrate the victory for raising money for those with pstd, we'll also dedicate the evening to clesby clark. he was always doing his lovely work for those less fortunate and in need. to his wife bunny, to his many family and friends, and to those of us who were fraternity brothers, we pay our tribute to clesby clark, a great american. may god bless his soul. and i yield back the time, mr. speaker. a senatormr. isakson: mr. presii notice the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the sena
