[applause] taxes or cut, not increased, but cut. i don't like to spend money. not my own and not the taxpayers. the two republican candidates for governor say they want to run the state like a business but they set a national record for waste and excessive spending. california was built by pioneers who led the world of innovation. i myself voted for a stake satellite. i also pushed for renewal energy with windmills and the desert. i was called a modern-day don quixote. california had over 90% of the world's renewable energy. [applause] in this campaign, you will hear about what i did and did not do. anyone willing to confront the conventional wisdom and take bold action -- [unintelligible] california can be covered and i have no doubt that we will produce the jobs in grenoble energy, medical advances, the materials, designs for living

speaker, i rise today to express my outrage of fidel castro's recent anti-israel's comments. in response to the flotilla in may, fidel asserts that israelis will like to send palestinians to be cremated like the nazis did to the jews. he ignore antley ignores the holocaust. to suggest that they will inspire a nazi-inspired genocide of the israelis is bad. this was widely distributed throughout the cuban regime. his offensive comments clearly puts prejudice and anti-semitic positions at the front of the regime. i ask my colleagues to continue to work with israel towards a peaceful solution for the israeli and palestinian people, and i encourage my colleagues to view castro's comments for what they are, the dangerous scheme of a brutal dictator designed to hurt the people of israel and -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time is up. for what purpose does the gentleman from arkansas rise? mr. boozman: i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. . mr. boodsman: i rise today to honor harrison fire chief john

there is a certain dynamic to these proceedings, the nominee will pledge her fidelity to the law, will decide existing precedent on important issues, and will promise to pay close attention to separation of powers and the text of the constitution. beyond that, we probably will learn more about her. we will learn about the senators and what they think the priorities of the supreme court should be. host: is there any danger at this point to her being confirmed? guest: it seems unlikely. she is someone who comes in with a pretty strong backing, certainly from all of the democrats, a fair amount of conservative support and a type of very establishment credentials that people expect in the supreme court nominee. she does not come in as a bricklayer or some other type of experience. she comes in as a former dean of the most prominent law school in the country. i think that barring some completely unexpected revelation during this week -- and we can always hope for something dramatic, if only for the narrative -- we should see her confirmed later this summer. host: have republican senators ye

>> let me give you to answer to that, and will have to get more fidelity on this as we get the actuallow rate established third we have two models out of the wellhead down by our flow rate technical group. one was a range of 12,000 barrels to 19,000 barrels per the other was a range of 12,000 barrels to 25,000 barrels a day. we're approaching production that will get up around 15,000 barrels a day. once we know the production flow and we are able seal off the vents, we will have a hard, fast number that will tell us where within that range it may lie, and allow us to narrow the range from the outside and three greater fidelity. then we can back that in for the number of days and get a better all -- a better overall estimate. it is like an oil budget. how much is coming out, how much have we skimmed, how much have we burned, and then we can account for the hydrocarbons went. and that is a work in progress. we will have a finer estimate once we establish the flow rate. gentleme>> you talk about the cp lasting well into the fall yesterday. can you elaborate on what you meant there? >> we

we will have to have more fidelity on this. we have two models for a flow out of the willhead -- wellhead. one was a range of 12,000 to 19,000 a day. the other was 22 -- 12,000 to 25,000. we are approaching production that will get around 15,000 barrels a day. when we have the production flow and seal off the bench, we will a lot -- assess the leakage in will have a hard cast member. we can back that in four the number of days the spill has been going and get a better overall estimate of the oil that has been spilled. it is kind of like an oil budget. how much have we skimmed and burned and how much is coming out. >> yesterday you talked about the cleanup blasting into the fall. can you elaborate? you cannot expected to be cleaned up in the fall. >> we need to be realistic and honest and transparent. when the relief well as finished, will will have flowed to the service in some manner. we will not get 100% containment. there will be oil on the service the day the will is capped. that will have to be dealt with and it will be lo

when we have much better fidelity of information, we're still working with a range here. >> what specifically will hurricane season mean for your operation? >> there is a standard readiness level that everyone goes through for hurricane season down i'm sure that admiral path is getting his people set up at a higher readiness level. that is why rabble landry has returned to her duties. -- rather admiral -- rear admiral landry has returned to her duties. as i mentioned earlier, we want to bring in equipment that is more seaworthy so that we don't have to work in extreme weather. thank you, folks.

it gives a high fidelity answer. we hope to move those into a morass of the walrus indentation of what is whatis -- a more acceptable idea of what is flowing. next question. >> your next question. next is from "los angeles times." >> if the vents remain open -- is it safe to say we have not really come that far since we heard about this 24 hours ago? i am wondering how successful can we say this has been so far. it seems like we have only seen a 6000 gallons -- seen 6000 gallons taken up and the vents are still open. has the flow decreased that anybody can detect. --detect? >> 6000 gallons yesterday. -- barrels yesterday. they are increasing the production rate, but they don't want to cause more problems. the goal is to reach maximum production at a floating production vessel overhead. then, we can slowly close off the ball is. it will happen based on the po -- close off the valves. it will be based on the flow rates. it will be based on conditions and the production rate. next question. >> the associated press. >> w

we will increase the fidelity of the system and the ability to do it.he ships are also much larger. one is almost 1,000 feet long. their ability to withstand heavy seas is important for the beginning of the hurricane season. >> last question. >> >> thank you for taking my question. you mentioned that fire-fighting ships are being brought to the scene. have there been any problems with workers be in distress because of the heat conditions? >> i saw the offshore supply vessels spraying water. you contest that with air testing. there are certain thresholds were there will not allow people to work. one way to reduce that is to put water. the fire fighting vessel will control the voc's and protect worker health. >> the q 4000 has an oil burner. under what circumstances would burn the oil rather than to cover it? maybe that would help explain what that is about. >> we want to control the flow would ever where we can. we are or the firing of natural gas. this allows us to bring production capability in flare the oil off and increase the production rate and not

history we're going to allow the regulators to study and come up with rules and regulations that allow fidelity -- fiduciary relationship between dealer, brokers, dealers, investors and their customers. most people in this country think that already exists. it doesn't. after this bill and the use of those new regulations it will. you can then trust that the advice being given by the broker-dealer or the investment counselor is in your best interest as a customer and not in theirs. we also called for the largest comprehensive study of the security exchange commission in the -- securities and exchange commission in the history of the commission. it will put in place the tools necessary to revise the entire s.e.c. in the future. it also will be the predicate for that type of a comprehensive study to be used in other agencies and commissions of government to allow us the long road of reform in the american government. these things are in the bill. besides that, we have the capacity to require that no one in the future need worry about the responsibility of the companies they are dealing with as to
