harlan county is one of the poorest counties in the country.ch and family and the mines. men, hundreds of them, have been dying in the mines here for generations. fewer have died in recent years, but mining still has the highest fatality rate of any job in the state. >> it's always been dangerous, and, um... people die. >> kent hendrickson is a lawyer who represents mine owners in harlan county. he agreed to talk to us, but, because of potential lawsuits, he declined to speak about specific accidents. >> now, when i was a kid growing up here, it was so commonplace, it was almost accepted. you wouldn't know a miner died unless you read his obituary, and, you know-- and it was almost a natural death. there wasn't-- a guy died of a heart attack, or he died in the mines. >> how would you explain to people who live far from harlan county why so many people have been killed around here in the last year? >> as far as i know at this point, it's a fluke. >> so you think it's just been a string of bad luck? >> i think so. >> that explanation does not sit

harlan kelly is responsible for all of that. [applause] >> good afternoon. first, i would like to thank spur and mfac for this prestigious award. also, ed harrington for nominating me. also, a special thanks to my family. mason, kelly, tray, my wife, naomi, my sister joy, and my mother-in-law. they have been supporting me for a long time. behind this individual all board, there's a team of people that are responsible for making things happen. just for a moment, i want the puc to raise their hand and give a shout. we have a lot of folks who really committed in making the systems wwork. again, we have billions of dollars that we are entrusted with delivering in a timely way, which needs to be within budget. systems like this will really elevate and make it really transparent that we are delivering these programs in a very conscious and deliberate way so we can save the ratepayers' money. with that, i just want to thank you guys for this award. thank you.

most of those, continuity with, two died, harlan and black in the front end and replaced by rehnquist and powell and then -- >> stephens. >> stephens at the end, but there was -- we lost harlan and black. at any rate that was the cast of characters. they each had two to four clerks. douglas had two, the rest mainly had three. and the clerks were privy to -- it was a very candid, confidential relationship. and apparently nobody had really t tried to press this before. so we went and using documents that we got along the way, starting with the published opinions, the supreme court is one of the few places you actually do get the results of their deliberation, but we knew there was a process that was much more political. so we began the reconstruction of it by talking to the clerks and we had the cooperation of three or four justices, depending how you look at it, that would help us along the way, but all behind the scenes. all off the record or what we call deep background interviews. we could use it or we couldn't attribute it to it and we concentrated on getting drafts of opinions so

we start with harlan in the back. please identify yourself and you can choose to whom you are directing the question, that would be helpful. >> i'm harlan altman, thanks to the panel because it has been a stimulating and provocative session. the world economic situation is dicey at best, if the euro happens claes the pressure put on us will be huge. you have a political system that is broken that unless one party winds both ends of pennsylvania avenue with 60 votes in the senate, i think there's very little chance of anything rationally being done and worse than that, no matter who win withes the election, you will have change in the leadership with the departments and it will be five or six months after the election or more until you have a chance for people who are in the position to talk about reprogramming and the like. now i think you're absolutely right that we have to make far greater cuts to our overall spending. there's probably not going to be any agreement between the differences over taxation and spending.

. >> i'm harlan omar of the atlantic council. i thank and congratulate the panel for a lively and provocative series of comments. i wanted to enlarge the discussion however along the lines of a headline i remember reading years ago in london in the express of the mail that read "channel fogged in, continent cut off." we're looking at this in isolation of europe, and there are a lot of other moving parts, let alone a collapse of the new greek government, what's happening in syria, what's happening in iran, when the supreme court decides to rule on at fordable health act here, if they do, you can imagine what's going to happen to the stock market, so there are a whole series of exogenous things going on that have not really been considered that are going to have powerful influence. i wondered if the panel might address some of those and how they might be dealt with, if at all. >> so at first i thought you were going to actually ask about the role of britain in this. >> something much broader. >> something much broader than that. we

so i think as harlan said back there, this is not going to be dealt with quickly. it's going to take a long time. it's going to drag into the middle of next year. meanwhile, all of us are going to be setting around wondering exactly what programs are going to be adjusted and which ones we're going to have to adjust. i wanted to pick up just two things, peter. a question came up, a young gentleman sitting here on the row about exports and moving into services. i think the question was, you know, if all this happens and if you have a diminishment in the buying power, won't you guys just go and do overseas sales, and that'll pick up some of the difference or move into services because services should be a growth industry. well, the answer to both those questions is probably not. if you take a look around the world and the condition of the world currently, you're going to have to look pretty hard to find a place where there is a great passion and a great amount of money for buying the type of equipment that this country produces. the market internationally for selling

harlan, rebekah brooks, and james murdoch. did you get, as it were, words on the otheride, or not to th best of your recollection? >> no, i don't. i remember distinctly having -- it must've been very much in th air at the time. about when we, as a government, would hold hold a referendum. i remember that being discussed a number of times. besides that, it was close to m heart, and i was keen to take every opportunity that to put case for change. in the event, it back, i do, remember -- that was lunch, i do not remember the big coming up in the lunch at all.c+c+c+c+c+c+ >> impression is, and youc)c)c)) confirmedc) this, that since be) inc) government, there have bee) meetings with editors andk)k)k proprietors, and simplicity are since last year, -- >> there was a phase where i remember, and i'm sure -- i'm sure this was reflected. there was a phase where i was proactively in the run up unt may of last year. i was ultimately trying to interest people in the press.

we'll start with harlan in the back. identify yourself and pose a question. if you could choose to whom you're directing your question. >> first, thank you to the panel, because it's a very stimulating and provocative session, but i think you guys are wildly optimistic. because i think it's going to be a much worse case. if the euro collapses the pressure put on us is going to be huge. off political system that is broke than unless one party wins both ends of pennsylvania avenue, i think there's very little chance of anything rationally getting done and no matter who wins the election, you're probably going to have a real change in the leadership of all the departments, so it will be five months or more for people to be in position to actually talk about reprogramming and the like. i think you're absolutely right that we're going to make far greater cuts to our overall spending and there's probably not going to be any differences between taxation and spending. so how do we deal with this when we have to deal with cutting in trillions of dollars and mr. obama

. >> i am harlan ullman. first, think the panel for the stimulating than provocative session. think you guys are wildly off domestic goods they think it's going to be a lot worse case. the world economic situation is dicey at best. if the euro collapse is the pressure that will put is huge. you have a political system that is broken unless one party wins both ends of pennsylvania avenue and 60 votes in the senate, there's very little chance of anything being rationally done. even worse, no matter who wins the election you have a real chain in the leadership of all the departments and so it's going to be five or six months after the election are more until you have a chance for people to position and talk about reprogramming and the like. i think you're absolutely right we have to make far greater cut to her overalls bending. there's probably not going to be any agreement between differences overtaxation and spending. give me a couple of big ideas, how you do with the system broke and we have to accommodate that cutting trillions of joints of dollars, doing it in the sense of t
