it depends on how one defines inactivity presumably mr. litman meant to damn mr. coolidge as a listless leader. but if inactivity is defined as a spirited, brilliantly active government intervention in the country and the concurrent and resulting tax rates which result, that is profoundly good. and it is inparticular lating and implementing that philosophy, that opposition, calvin coolidge was most decidedly genius. it is, he observed, a great advantage to a president and a major source of safety to the country for him to know he is not a great man. the most single-minded of modern merge presidents. calvin coolidge may dead have been the most jeffersonian. a man who believed in limits of presidential power and i believe it of federal power to resist the temptation to extend it. coolidge believed the property of the nation belonged to the citizens of its nation and not to its government. he believed in strict obedience of law and service to the other in idealism rather than materialism. quaint ideas nowadays but maybe not so quaint. we have seen what believers in t

for clear leadership, we, the hung parolment -- parliament party, promise to provide indecision, inaction, and half measures. we guarantee more dithering policies, which in real terms, means no change to underperforming schools, no change to the n.h.s., and no change to the violent crime rates that blite our streets. our third pledge is to paralyze the u.k. committee. a vote for hung parliament risks killing economic recovery. we can promise this because we know that 2/3 of business leaders are concerned about the impact on the british committee. a drop in confidence could lead to a run on the pound. finally, we pledge to hold a new election within the calendar year. we promise you, the voter, another chance to be faced by the same problem and hear the same arguments all over again. what's more, we'll waste tens of millions of pounds of the taxpayers' money doing it. this is our vision for britain. we hope we can rely on you to create a brave new world of undemocratic processes, economic stagnation, and dithering, and getting us in couldn't be easier. a vote for any party other than the c

the united states is more dependent on foreign oil because of the inaction of the congress. the u.s. is more dependent on oil because of the fuels. rural economies are being stripped of this value-added agricultural product. so i urge the senate to take immediate action to extend this tax incentive and reduce our dependence on foreign oil and save green jobs. i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from montana is recognized. a senator: thank you. before i begin, i would like to thank chairman dodd for his exemplary work on this wall street reform bill. it is the result of months of tireless work and many hours of negotiation by chairman dodd and his staff. this wall street reform bill will vastly improve the regry structure -- regulatory structure currently on the books. it creates a strong consumer watchdog on the fed, that will put consumers first ahead of wall street profits. this bill brings derivatives out of the shadows an on to exchanges so that wall street's bets upon bets never again threaten to bring down our entire economy.

> what would you consider to be the actual threshold to determine whether it is a cyberattack is inactive for and is there any current international law that would support making that sort of determination and what is appropriate in terms of retaliation? >> we should ask our international law expert sitting two rows behind you, but we talk a little in the book about the existing international laws of war, and the international agreements that exist not for the national agreements going back to 1939, not to bomb cities. you could construe some kind of cyberattacks as violating some of the existing international laws. but they were all written without cyberin mind. the only real international agreement that we have the something the europeans-- the european union came up with and we have joined and other nations outside of europe have joined on international cybercrime. it is a good first step. unfortunately rush is not in it, japan is not in it, lots of people are not in it. but there is not very much international law yet. so what could be the threshold of war? it seems to me when a natio

was governor of arizona also said that she needed to sign bills which she did because of federal inactionalso said show me a 50-foot fence and i'll show you a 51- foot ladder. really the circumstances haven't changed. now janet napolitano is in washington and may or may not be able to do something about it. i would suggest that washington acting by itself can't really affect migration issues any more than arizona can or any of the thousands of municipalities that have passed laws. it takes an international approach. by its nature immigration involves borders and is international. >> brown: what does that mean? there's a way forward? >> there's a way forward. that means we have to rethink and reframe the debate in some way. we need to think of globalization, we need to think of immigration as an international issue rather than a national one. because people are pushed out and pulled in because of trade policies, because of all kinds of policies that really need to be ... we need to be thinking about. so the united states needs to engage at a minimum mexico and by national discussions and i

absent inaction today, there -- their hands will be tied and they'll be unable to implement their own recommendations that take into full account the opinion of the men and women who serve, the officers and stakeholders within the military. the vast majority of americans, including the majority of republicans, independents and democrats, recognize that on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if a solder is lesbian, gay or straight. what matters is they get the job done for our country. don't ask, don't tell hurts military readiness and national security while putting american service members fighting overseas at risk. today they've forced over 13,000 well trained at takes pair expense and able-body idea soldiers out of the military. it's time to repeal this law. aplaud the leadership of my friend, the honorable congressman and veteran, patrick murphy, in his efforts to do. so by allowing the pentagon to conduct a careful study of the implementation of the repeal, this amendment is a fair balance between any new discriminatory policy and respecting the opinions of our military leaders. i

but inaction is worse.i think the polling is clearly showing that people don't and haven't wanted to step on civil rights. number two, they want something that works. and the more this frustration goes on, the more i think people are going to understand -- you know, the poll is not the tool. now, having said that, you know, i think i'm the only anglo -- or noncolored-elected official, person of color that has stood up against this law in arizona. so it gets lonely in that sense. those standing up against it at the city council, the jew, the black, the gay and the hispanic. it's kind of ironic. i'm within one of those categories or maybe all of them, i guess. so polls do influence elected leaders. it influences the media. but again, i think something this fundamental have got to rely on the courts now because, you know, in the '50s it was the law of the land to have segregation. and sheriffs had laws that allowed them to send dogs on people. you know, and it was legal. but it wasn't right and the courts said

one of my papers opined this morning that the cost of human inaction is intolerable. thousands of working families will lose their benefits if we don't undertake this action. job creating incentives in this legislation? i know, i helped to author them and write them. the build america bonds campaign, any member of this house can go back home with a sense of pride and satisfaction as they witness the implementation of the build america bond initiative. this bill protects private activity bonds from the onerous alternative minimum tax, lowering cost for state and local governments that use the bonds for airports, school loans, and other essential needs. take this to an advertisement in your local paper where it says relief from alternative minimum tax, and take it to the airport that's being expanded. they have utilized that opportunity. new markets tax credits? i have been in the middle of it and we protect them from a.m.t. to promote investment in low-income neighborhoods. that's what this legislation is about today. mr. camp: i yield two minutes, mr. speaker, to the

still disgusted by the inaction of the authorities, rick pulled the boat onto his trailer ask -- and drove home. so as that went on, algae bloom, fishkills, this is just one. i had so many manure lagoons rupturing that my editor suggested i get rid of a few of them because it was starting to be too repetitive. and it's pretty colorful stuff, as you can tell. you can almost smell that lagoon as it wreaks, and just -- breaks, and just imagine the people that live with this. again, the book is about the people. i mean, they have victories, and they have defeats. they get sick, some of them die, some of them come close to dying because of what they have to breathe, because of the water they have to drink, and very often it's the poorest people who get hit the hardest. we have something called environmental justice in this country. we have what's called environmental racism, and i've seen it firsthand. right now in the yakima valley where helen redout has been fighting and took the dairy factories to court, this one guy that they sued and they won under the clean water act, he was so intr

we have the choice to leave a legacy of fear and inaction, or to act with vision and courage, and the leadership. excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, the nuclear non- proliferation treaty is one of the most important multinational accord in history. it is a cornerstone of the nonproliferation regime. it enjoys universal membership. we need this regime as much as ever. the nuclear threat remains real. it has evolved in new and various forms. that is why you are here. the world's people want more from us, and more progress on disarmament, more arms cuts, and more transparency. neither our compliance or nuclear haves and have-nots, there is a great and growing concern over nuclear terrorism. the black market in nuclear technology is real. the danger of a regional conflict could go nuclear. solutions to multiple challenges facing the treaties do not lie in elevating policies over another. programs in disarmament cannot await a world free of nuclear proliferation and terrorism. progress on nonproliferation cannot be only elimination of the last nuclear weapon. the advance in peaceful uses

hear members of congress who actually have jurisdiction to fix this problem rail against federal inaction on this issue. and the only thing i feel at that point is like, wait a minute, aren't you a senator? aren't you a member of the hoe? well, it's your job to fix this. and frankly i think the american voter is getting frustrated with what they feel with congress is this is too hard. we can't do it. it's a huge problem and we can't fix it. or, this is a huge problem. the federal government needs to act and i'm going to need to do everything imy power to stop them from doing it. i think that if any of us had a job where that was our daily response, we would have gotten fired a long time ago. so i think it's time for leadershipn congress. i think the white house needs to step in a little stronger or much stronger. and i think the republicans need to really put their money where their mouth is about really intending to fix this once and for a. host: phyllis from countryside, illinois. caller: good morning. and happy mother's day to all those out there. and i'm going to be 72 years old next

but they never accepted the responsibility for the affect of their actions or inactions. in terms of the bush tax cuts it was the inactions to extend the bush tax cuts that became the culprit that was part of the downward spiral of this overall economy. the actions that came forward were massive spending, it was also the disruption and the suspension of the deliberative process here in the united states congress. for more than 200 years this congress has had a tradition of open rules in the appropriations process that would allow, mr. speaker, anyone, any member of this congress who has their own franchise or the people of america, that they are dwrute bound to represent their wills and their wishes coupled with the principles they have presented to them prior to their election, duty bound, this congress has for more than 200 years recognized that duty to allow members of congress to do their duty and offer amendments to perfect legislation and particularly in appropriations where we have had the long centuries old tradition of open rules that allows for any member to bri

i'm inactive but i don't know. but it seems that everybody throws up something in terms of training. if you're a firefighter, the training never stops. if you're a police officer, the training never stops. if you're a doctor, boom. but it also seems a lot of people enter the being trained when they enter the field and in teaching a lot of people can still walk in the side door given the circumstance of the district where they happen to be who knows whom and all of a sudden there you are and you have the credential. and in some cases, that's enough. but we've sort of enabled this to go on and on and on. you know, to what extent the federal government can change that is what this zaiabout. -- what this idea is all about. you talk about the redesign of teacher training, the three steps you lay out don't look a lot like what most teachers -- what i think most teachers have been led to believe most teacher programs look like. they come later. you get your credential. you've gotten your major degree and you get a credent

specific, argues stating or implying that there is a deck -- direct relationship between the actions or inactions in mms with respect to this particular spill? >> that testimony that i provided here in september of last year reference two different things. the first is that the efforts of the chairman of this committee and other members of this congress as well as the senate was very appropriate, and that we needed to move forward with organic legislation, given the importance of the mission of this department. i believe that very much to be the case. now with respect to administrative action that we have taken -- >> no, this particular spill -- in fact, bp has put out a document where they go half-hour by half hour in a show from their perspective what happened. i am just wondering, does it mms in their brief to initial an internal review, had they said to themselves a specific thing that they should or should not have done with respect to this particular spill? >> congressman, this is a bp mess. >> i understand that. but there is blame to be had all around. >> let me just finish. it is importan

crises before they start coming to avoid wherever we can the choice of last resort for the danger of inaction the third principle is that we should follow the example of previous generations and build strong military alliances and effective international organizations. as i mentioned before, the threats we face from pandemic disease to terrorism, they had no respect to borders. they do not yield to the massive force. to defeat them requires responsible nations, not only to set down the rules of conduct for the 21st century as we did after world ii, but insist that other nations along with us in force enforse those rules of nduct. -- those nations along with lessenfus enforce the rulse of conduct. . . they laid before the world the values behind our revolution. as they stated that the declaration of independence, we had, "a decent respect for the opinions of mankind." let the world know that we established a nation where all men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. we still hold these truths to be self

we anticipate charging him with inactive terrorism transcending national borders, 10 duties of a weapon of mass destruction, use of a destructive device during the commission of another crime, as follows assorted explosive charges. i want to emphasize that this investigation is ongoing and we continue to pursue a number of leads as we gather useful intelligence related to the terrorist attack. based on what we know so far, it is clear that this was a terrorist plot aimed at murdering americans in one of the busiest places in our country. we believe that the suspected terrorist sectioned a bomb from rudimentary ingredients, placed it in a rusty suv and drove it into times square, with the intent to kill as many innocent tourists and theatergoers as possible. make no mistake, although this car bomb failed to properly detonate, this plot was a very serious attempt. if successful, that resulted in a lethal terrorist attack, causing death and destruction in the heart of new york city. it is a stark reminder of the reality that we face today in this country. the reality that there is a consta

the united states has 5113 active and inactive nuclear warheads in its stockpile. many thousands more have been retired and are awaiting dismantling. according to a senior defense official. the release of the number of warheads marks only the second time in u.s. history that the government has released this once top secret information. a sign that more of us are reaching for the plastic as the economy rebounds. with mastercard today reporting its first quarter profit rose 24%. the payment processor says it earned $455 million, an increase of 5% in the number of transactions processed. and young children who watch a lot of t.v. aren't just missing out on more stimulating activities. they could also be destined for a problem at school and problems at school, and unhealthier habits later in life. this is according to a new study in the archives of pediatrics and adolescent medicine. the study says each additional hour of t.v. that toddlers watch per week translates into poorer classroom behavior, lower math scores, less physical activity and more snacking by the age o

in journalism is his community and to have a problem with them going there the president of the inactionunited states is a natural comedian with a wry sense of humor he enjoys meeting people and his speaking last year, i thought it was terrific terrific, last year when he did his first one they asked me i said i am not interested going to the dinner but i will do the commentary. i was up there in that little studio laughing my head off burkett was one of the funniest performances i have never seen. his jokes about from emmanuel and john boehner and it was terrific and i think he is a natural and it helps him very much. it is a good thing. i don't think jay have as good of the night as he had other times. >> host: what did president nixon and think of those tenders? how much time did you put into crafting his response? >> guest: he did not have a natural sense of humor. they were very tough for him. he went head-to-head mixing got up he had some jokes. they were okay but it was not natural. i remember in 1960 he said i have a message from my father but don't buy one more vote than necessa

sommunities have done in the past, which is to fix and move forward and it won't be perfectn but inaction was -- i think the but inacis clearly showing that people don't and haven't wanted to step on the civil rights.i tn number two, they want somethingt that works in the more the frustration goes on, the more that i think people are going to understand that, you know, the t whole is not the tool. pw having said that, i thinkhik i'm the only anglo or y non-collared elected official,, person of color, but i stood up against the fine arizona. so it gets lonely in that senset those standing up on the black,, hispanic. i'm in one of those categories, maybe all of them. so polls to influence public sood theaters, influences the media. again, i think something asces e fundamental as got to rely on the course now because, you know, in the 50's it was the law be the land to have segregation. and sheriffs have laws that allowed them to send dogs on the people, you know, and it was legal. ultimately the court that heand. wasn't an argument, that it took too long, we've got to get thet courts involv

constitution, which has been inactive for generations and generations to come up with green cards and coming into the u.s. legally on a visa, why is that not been implemented now? we already have a system in place that is supposed to be making sure that these kinds of things do not happen. why are they not sticking to what has already been enacted generation after generation after generation, that we are supposed to live by that is in our constitution now. if that is the way it is supposed to be. that is the way that it needs to be done. guest: i think you bring up good points. one is the issue of green cards, which is permission to be a legal permanent resident, meaning that you can live here as long as you did not do anything wrong. the u.s. can take that green card away and send you back if you do something wrong folks that are here on green cards make up a small portion of folks that come from other countries. there are a myriad of ways that people can come to this country from other countries. they can come as refugees, they can seek asylum -- there are a lot of ways. the problem

in this country, that even though you have resistance, you very often, inact almost always you can find another combination of anti-h.i.v. drugs that would suppress it. so resistance is something you don't want to take lightly we have been able to circumvent that because we have so many good drugs. host: 15 minutes left with our guest dr. anthony fauci. boca raton, florida. caller: my kquestion, i read a recent article that said it is now becoming an infectious disease and that the h-pylore is resistant to first line drug treatment and many people are having second and third treatments because it is coming back. host: what is h-pylori? >> it is a bacteria that affects the g.i.tract. guest: it is a fascinating medical story in that foreve for decades and decades, people thought that alwaulcers were du stress and a variety of other factors when in fact the overwhelming majority of gastric ulcers are due to a microbe referred to as h-pylori wch inhacketts the -- inhabits the upper attract of people when that was discovered which one a nobel prize for that, when that was discovered antibiot

crises before they start coming to avoid wherever we can the choice of last resort for the danger of inaction. the third principle is that we should follow the example of previous generations and build strong military alliances and effective international organizations. as i mentioned before, the threats we face from pandemic disease to terrorism, they had no respect to borders. they do not yield to the massive force. to defeat them requires responsible nations, not only to set down the rules of conduct for the 21st century as we did after world ii, but insist that other nations along with us in force enforse those rules of conduct. -- those nations along with lessenfus enforce the rulse of conduct. . . at the very moment our found erds declared our independence, they laid before the world the values behind our revolution. because as they stated in the declaration of independence, we had quote a decent respect for the opinions of mankind. so let the world know that we establish a nation where all men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain inate yenible rights among them the

comments and also your written testimony suggested he felt that there might have been some culture of inactiont the sec and i'm not sure what timeframe you were looking at when he suggests that. do you think that that is still present now because mr. cox would describe a different picture? how would you assess a two-day? >> we were talking about it in terms of the cse program. so that lack of aggressive oversight may have been reflected in the fact that it was considered a voluntary program. i don't think we would have that same view with respect to other aspects of the sec the chairman cox described nor when he was there, nor now under chairman schapiro. >> if i could, thank you. mr. sirri could you talk a little bit about some technical aspects. i have heard a number of people who have talked to me about a couple of things in a related transparency and disclosure. are there differences in the disclosure requirements for long positions versus short positions and also specifically mutual funds birches-- versus hedge funds and do you think if there are differences, do you think they play a role

we anticipate charging him with inactive terrorism transcending national borders, 10 duties of a weapon of mass destruction, use of a destructive device during the commission of another crime, as follows assorted explosive charges. i want to emphasize that this investigation is ongoing and we continue to pursue a number of leads as we gather useful intelligence related to the terrorist attack. based on what we know so far, it is clear that this was a terrorist plot aimed at murdering americans in one of the busiest places in our country. we believe that the suspected terrorist sectioned a bomb from rudimentary ingredients, placed it in a rusty suv and drove it into times square, with the intent to kill as many innocent tourists and theatergoers as possible. make no mistake, although this car bomb failed to properly detonate, this plot was a very serious attempt. if successful, that resulted in a lethal terrorist attack, causing death and destruction in the heart of new york city. it is a stark reminder of the reality that we face today in this country. the reality that there is a consta

such a review i believe's storable hold regulators accountable for their actions or inaction, as the case may be. mr. president, i believe we must put an end to the ad hoc responses of the federal government which only lead to fear and to panic. i believe these changes will help us do that. i want to thank at this time the committee's chairman, senator chris dodd, for working with me to tighten the language in this part of the bill. and i also want to thank our respective staffs who worked day and night, weekend after weekend to get us where we are this afternoon. all of these changes are important and necessary to make bailouts a thing of the past. with these changes, i believe that we have done what congress can do to prevent any future bailouts. but, mr. president, it will now be up to the regulators to follow the law and do what we expect them to do: to do their jobs. mr. president, i strongly support these changes and i urge my colleagues to support them as well. however, i want to point out to leave the impression that i support the entire bill, like anybody at this time, becau

i would like you to describe what damage you think is being done to children by the inaction -- and i agree that some of you disagree with the ftc. they are not heavily staffed and well-funded. we need to change that. we are trying to eject him from being wiped out altogether under this financial services band and i think we have done that. but what is the damage that you see being done to a generation of kids coming up with parents who are reportedly hovering over, watching every move they make when you know perfect the while they are not. >> senator, i think the primarily problem is young people are being coaxed to reveal a great deal of intimate information and the data is gathered and collected and disclosed to strangers for any purpose that generates commercial value. as a parent of two teenagers i have a problem with that. i think technology is great and i want my kids to grow up and to be technologically literate and to make smart decisions on line because i can always be there. they need to have the tools and the experience to make those decisions for themselves. but i know th

we, because of our inaction, are giving up vast stretches of american property to the drug cartel so that not even americans can go into these national monuments. there is no common sense. no rational person would ever say this should be our policy. but indeed, we have come to that particular policy. i am very disgusted with our secretary of the interior who talks very good about this issue but has yet to change the policies and people are getting shot and killed down there. y mentioned the years law. i think it's a law proposed by the ranking republican on both judiciary and homeland security and national security, or national resources and the -- and myself, who is the ranking member on the public lands subcommittee. if we were to have that land, if we were to have that policy, it would have eliminated a great deal of the fear and anxiety that was the primary motivation of this particular law. if people realize that the priority of this congress is to secure the border to stop the bad people from coming in, to stop the drug runners and the human traffickers, and that's what we shou
