lehrer: senator ben nelson says he has newed reservations in that bill because othe abortion iss. he's one of the you're countingn. what do u think about that? >> loo there are many issues that have been rsed by him and many others. we'll work our way through tse issues. again, i'm condent we'll get this done in in a wathat will hold theoalition together. >> lehrer: what you make this rising oppotion among liberal decrats, particularly led by former democrathairman howard dn? >> look, i think that lot of people hava great deal of passion about the issu i have a great deal of psion about it mysf. i have someone in my familwith a chronic illns and i've had manyf the horrific experiences th insurance that other americans are have had and i feel strongly about this and so does the prident. so, you knowpeople are impaioned and there are some disagreements abt aspects of thislan. but there absolutely no doubt that the refms that we're working on will be infinely tter than the situation that we face today. people will be ae to get insurance th they can afford even if they don't g it thro

if the only way states can recruit resources issed augd additional medicaid patients, new york is goingcome up on the short end, but overall, i like the health care plan in the house. and i only wish we could have the public option or the age 55 medicare requirement. but it's very difficult. it's in negotiation, and we have got to lower the costs of health care. it will be 10% of our gdp before long. >> i look forward to many more visits with you. one other thing. do you agree with the decision to hold the -- those accused of being responsible for 9/11, hold those trials here? >> well, if i were making the decision, i just think, and, as a very dear friend of mine, we went to college together. i would not have held it in new york. new yorkers have taken a real beating, ever since september 11. traffic problems. remember, new yorkers who lived and worked near ground zero were asewered by the epa that it was safe and it wasn't. people suffered diseases they shouldn't have suffered because they got the wrong information from washington. but the decision was made. we're fully in support of

i'm a long-term pessimm about this iss.i think it is very unlikel that any count is going to make, or at least e u.s. and ina will make real economic sacfices for this so of long-term problem. so i remain and ha been fernd kated today in this pessimism. >> lehrer: are you a pessimist too? >> i am a sht term pessimist. i mean until the csis and pele start choking and suffocating inhe streets. >> lehrer: people don't feel there a crisis. >> i think there is lessnd less oa sense in this country of urgency and crisis. and secondly, i think it's be like so many other issu, crowded out by the domestic, police call nsiderations andocial consideratio of joblessness. and economic downturn. >> how do you feel presint obama ndled this, today and before. >> i think theresident, well obvioly he reschedud himself. they wand him there late in hopes thahe was going to go early. that he would play --. >> lehrer: he was originally going to go right after lo. >> that's rit. but theyanted him to postpone tt trip to get there at the most meanin

issing see only legitimate economically justifiable over the counter trade -- issing the only legitimate economically justifiable over the counter trade -- i think the only legitimate, economically justifiable, over the counter trade are risks. i think it is legitimate to continue that market, but there has to be capital requirements imposed. there has to be margin, collateral, marked to market requirement in order to make that market safe, but you should realize we have no experience in successfully or effectively regulating an over-the-counter derivatives market. our only experience with regulating derivatives has been on exchange, and that has been effected since 1935. >> let me answer a question i posed two years ago when we got in with the futures speculation, and that is what are the tools the ctfc needs to enact the cut of reality you are describing? do they possess those tools today? is there something legislatively they need in order to make what you describe reality. >> in 2000, congress forbid any federal regulator to oversee the over-the-counter derivatives market adult, so t

the failures because we want to understand the difference between what it will sustain and what the isswill sustain, because it is important to us as commanders of marines to know what is going to put our people on the safest vehicles, given conditions. we want to do the same thing with these other vehicles and say, what is the disparity here -- what is the best buy for the money that we can peel the fastest and still feel comfortable that we can accomplish our missions? >> you talked earlier about the mef going in, that two-star command going into helmand. was that always the plan, or was this an adjustment that you made as you along? and how was that going to impact the command structure there? >> as mike mullen said it once upon a time -- we do what we must in iraq. we do what we can and afghanistan. we have boot at that point now -- we are at that point now where afghanistan has moved from being an economy of force function to our main effort. so in the process, we are looking at expanding the capacity that we have had there. nimroz province is a big enigma to us at this point. bara

you're going to have issing training and upset training and you are going to have operated in a multi-crew and simulate the environment. you will see all these things. what concerns me is to simply say that you need some number of hours, and i'm not sure what the number of hours is. maybe it is 1,000 hours of experience needed along with those elements. i also think that when we get past year i think i stated earlier we need to take a look. we have come a long way in technology. we have aircraft that do a lot more today than they did when the rule was written and some of the elements required to hold the atp need to be revisited. the things i mentioned, the icing, high altitude of sets all of these things, the carriers now put them in -- but we need to have those -- that needs to be assurance when you go to work that you have those as a requirement. >> i guess the only thing i'm suggesting is i think there is a point at which quantity does matter where you have enough experience and i was operating in some of these aircraft, and i am not disputing the notion that quality and ability to fly
