i'm going to tell a story about jane harman.ch said good-bye to the house, there were a lot of people that sat on their hands. jane harman who disagreed with newt gingrich and probably liked him in some ways even less than myself, stood up, alone on the democratic side of the house floor, and gave him a standing ovation to thank him for his service. that was a class act that i'll never forget. >> very classy. >> i miss you more, joe. >> well good to see you, jane. this is a perfect time to have you here. we just had david ignatius on, also bob baer wrote an article for "time" magazine. a lot of questions being raised about the cia getting hammered the way they've been hammered. not just by democrats but also by republicans. do you share the concerns of david ignatius that we're going to create a generation of risk-averse cia agents? >> i always worry about that, and i do worry, as you said, joe, in an earlier segment about the agent in the field somewhere in an austere location away from his family, looking at washington and thi

this week prime minister gordon brown is in italy for the g8 summit leader harriet harman is covering for him. this is live coverage on c-span2. >> and, therefore, any future legislation should be designed to dismantle the industry but make sure that the principles of fairness and equality still remain. >> well, mr. speaker, i don't accept or recognize the description that the honorable gentleman has given. there is a commitment to equality and indeed there is an absolute responsibility on public authorities to consider all their policies in relation to equality and indeed where it's felt that there might be an adverse impact that an equality impact commission should be started. it's not that process but the practical outcome in terms of the lives that people lead and i hope in the future it will be hose practical outcomes that we focus on more than anything. >> order, questions to the prime minister. mall condition wicks. >> number one, mr. speaker. >> mr. speaker, i've been asked to reply. before i take my right honorable friend's question, i'm sure the whole house will wish to join

and 29-year-old angela representing the single ladies out there and single households and the harman stocks family. a family of four who lives in falls church and finally roy and his wife jane who also wasn't able to make the shoot. they live in alexandria. these four families will be facing four challenges over the next six months. the first is all about food. how to be climate smart when buying food. the others are transportation, energy and spare time and they will be learning to help the environment and how to be climate smart in each of these areas with the help of their climate coaches in sweden, of all places. >> we're excited about the project but it is definitely going to be a six-month journey and there is a lot to learn. first challenge is around food and it is the typical american family we run to the grocery store and grab what we can and eat and then a lot of food, fortunately gets thrown out, fortunately gets thrown out, too because sometimes we over . there's a is a lot to learn. >> reporter: the reason that there is, their climate coaches are based sweden is because

harman offered an amendment from taking medics from active duty and going to d&d.i have done all the due diligence. she did a great job. the only concern that was raided by anyone was dod was getting incentives to medics to leave active duty. outside of that there are no problems and i congratulate ms. harman for her amendment. >> very good. further amendments. who am i speaking to? mr. weiner? the clerk will report the amendment. >> amendment to the amendment and the nature of a substitute for h.r. 3200 by mr. weiner of new york and mr. welch of vermont. amended the vision a -- >> without objection then it will be considered as read and the gentleman from new york is recognized. >> reserve a point of order. >> and we had reserved point of order. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and i offer this amendment with the sponsorship of mister welch, also mr. doyle, ms. baldwin, michigan ask you, mr. rush, and mr. angle, and i think with the support of many americans who are asking fundamental questions about the way the build we are considering a structured and whether or not

harman and i join a desire to deal in a bipartisan way with our challenges.nd i will acknowledge from the git-go that everyone, democrat and republican alike, decries deficit spending. i mean, we all regularly talk about the fact that we need to get our fiscal house in order. that was a plank of the platform that president obama ran on, and it's the plank of the platform of virtually every candidate for public office. and i believe that we should work in a bipartisan way to get our fiscal house in order. the problem that i have with the measure that's before us is to me it's the quintessential example of the effort that we often see on legislation. sometimes we tend to do what makes us feel good rather than doing good. the reason i say that as i listen to the thoughtful remarks of my blue dog friends, they talked about exactly what i raised. that being the challenge that families are facing at the kitchen table. recognizing that because of difficult economic times it is essential for them to reduce their spending, to increase their savings and to pay down the

jane harman wanted the position on the house intelligence committee. it is true that there are term limits on those german shares. within the party itself, these issues tend to become a distraction from oversight. it has been the case where feuding between republicans and democrats over the past 10 years, specifically, has kept them from the real business of oversight. i think conflicts within the party itself, especially among powerful members of the party, only exacerbate that. host: dianne feinstein talked about this on fox news sunday. >> i think this is a problem, obviously. a lot is very clear i understand the need of the day, which was when america was in shock, when we had been in a head in a way we had never contemplated, where we had massive loss of life. there was a major effort to be able to respond. i think you weaken your case when you go outside of a lot. i think that if the intelligence committees had been briefed, they could have watched the programs, they could have passed for regular reports on the program. they could have made judgm

jane harman wanted to have the position of chairman on in the house intelligence committee and it iso reported that nanci policy was not about to have that. and there are questions of term limits and -- >> we're leaving this journal segment now as robert gives as alive -- arrived to begin today's briefing. >> attorney general holder is reportedly leaning toward having a criminal prosecutor look into whether u.s. interrogators tortured terror suspects. what are the president's thoughts on the wisdom of doing or not doing this? has the what has communicated in any fashion with mr. holder on this? >> i think my best guidance for you and others on this would be to look back at what the president said over the course of the past many weeks, including at his speech at the archives, that our efforts are better focused levine forward and looking back. -- looking forward and looking back. anyone that followed the law, that was acting in good faith of the guidance that they were provided within the four corners of the law will not and should not be prosecuted. obviously, if some laws are broke
