as far as data collection, you mentioned for the native american population, one of the issues we always had was the census and there were tremendous problems with the statistics, especially in 1990. as far as the population of native americans, in that sense this, what do you think, how does that skew the statistics we have, not just native americans, but i am really interested in statistics. >> the other issues, i am here today, instrumental in key issues on data collection. aside from the census bureau, one of the major challenges was the tools that we used to collect data on health statistics. the department of health and human services, state organizations and other agencies, the health status of our country. many times we miss important sub sectors such as the native american population as well as the native hawaiian and other populations. what that spells out, the data points, instead of actual statistics on those specific populations. we are taking that issue very seriously from the leadership standpoint. we have the data council and all of these infrastructures, we're taking a s

as far as data collection, i know that for the native american population, one of the issues we of always had, and there are tremendous problems with the statistics, especially in 1998 and 2000 as far as, you know, moi the population of native americans, what it was in the census -- you know, with a population non-americans. -- with the population of native americans. >> one of the very, very key issues is this issue on data collection. aside from some of the challenges that are mentioned with the census bureau, one of the major challenges we face and the tools we have, many of the service but the department of and human services as well as state organizations and state public health agencies use to capture what is the health status, many times, we miss important subsegments of our population, such as the native american population, as well as

as far as canada, i think maybe your anecdotal evidence is a different from the ones that pie have seen. there is no question that the data indicates that in some of the systems, in the u.k. in particular, god forbid you are a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer that somehow you would not be able to access treatment from three months to six months. in many instances, that is too late. no woman in this country should ever have to be denied coverage like that. in many instances, dean, the folks in canada are able to come into this country to get treatment that they need, and those are the kinds of stories i have heard. here in washington we are looking to try to bring experts and who have had a lot of experience with those programs. we need to take the time to make sure we understand the consequences of a government plan, and i am hopeful we will be able to do that in the next several weeks. host: another twist -- he is avoiding the issue of insurance companies. he did not answer the concern about insurance co. cooperation in health care changes. guest: first of all i will say to the tweeter -- host: do you twert? gu

far as whether it will hold -- continue to moderate the future, i can't say. >> now, is it possible to identify the effects of the stimulus bill with regard to employment data? i mean, is there any correlation you can make from looking at what you see there? >> it's hard for us to do that. we're rather focused on just sort of getting the numbers correct and we don't tend to try to look and see where the stimulus spending has occurred. >> i understand. >> and where we're seeing the improvements. >> well, where have the improvements been? >> they have been fairly widespread outside of manufacturing. so we have had a moderation of job loss and very much in the service-providing sector which is interesting because in the prior six months, about half the job loss was in services and now it's maybe a third of the job loss. >> and what -- why is that so significant? i think it's significant because this downturn sort of started in manufacturing and construction. and when things got really -- really severe, the most severe job loss -- and this job loss is still severe, it was very widespread and really included even services. so having services back out is a good si

as far left? >> guest: listen, this guy has moved aggressively to take up the auto industry. he fired the cdl of gm. he has passed a budget that iraq's up more data over the next eight years than all 43 of his predecessors combined. he has passed budgets that the director of the ceo has the lead democrat appointed, the director of the congressional budget office said that his budgets are unsustainable. in other words, they will wreck the economy, that the top democrat in the senate budget committee said in these deficits will destroy america. what does the president to? he passes these budgets, people like me say these are unsustainable and cripple the economy. everybody on the left calls me a right wing in not in any york times calls mean the leader of the republican attacks gone into this later president

references to this data for a secretary and the leader of the opposition saying that what we actually what it was a franks style inquiry which is what we have got. first of all, as far as what he says is the restrictive nature of the franks inquiry i cannot mr. speaker think of an inquiry that has got a more comprehensive, wider and brodeur revisions in the inquiry i have announced so far from being restricted it covers eight years from 2001 to 2009. far from it be restricted it has access to any documents available and that will include foreign documents that are available in british archives and an interview any witnesses, british witnesses but witnesses said was to divide it necessary from abroad and so i don't think there is any fundamental disagreement between us on the nature of inquiry in scope and the fact is very comprehensive, indeed,. i have to remind him about the timing of this that the franks inquiry looked at events that were and only add to the run-up to the falklands war and incidentally mr. speaker it was announced in a written answer to the house of commons not an oral statement, so let me say as far as the franks inquiry is concerned, it dealt wi
