former cia director james woolsey. also, updates on two stories we've been reporting on this year.e too much to take. we'll tell you how the schools they attended are under pressure tonight. a fascinating report on a type of medicine not widely practiced. it's called faith healing. in a small town in brazil, a man claims to be able to heal very sick patients without even touching them. there are plenty of skeptics, as you might imagine. also plenty of believers drawn to him from around the world. we've got those stories and much more as well at the top of the hour. now, back to "larry king." >> larry: we're back with kathy ireland. has it been hard to balance marriage through all of this? your husband's a doctor and a fishermen. >> yes, e.r. doctor, commercial fishermen. it's tough. balance. i can't say that i always have it. but for me i've really found it's a matter of honoring the priorities. it's my faith. it's my family. and then it's being of service through our work. and when those priorities are not in order, i'm a disaster. i'm just crawling around, trying to get from poin

james woolsey said it well in an op-ed he wrote in november. "why has the administration agreed to a treaty that limits our nonnuclear long-range weapons and runs the risk of constraining our missile defenses? ""the administration's unilateral statement on limited missile defense does not resolve this ambiguity. this treaty has a flawed premise, which i would like to talk about for just a few minutes. the treaty is crafted out of the idea that the united states and russia play the same role in the world. that's simply not true. the united states security imleal covers over 30 countries. america is a protecter of many. russia is a threat to many, but a protecter to none. america's commitments are much greater. imparity is unacceptable, especially given russia's large tactical arsenal, which is not covered at all in this treaty. moreover, the new start fret is intended to be a step towards the president's goal of a world without nuclear weapons. president reagan, who has been quoted at length during this debate, believed that the only way to get

james woolsey, i think when you talk about the intelligence, i have a bias with james woolsey.he's from oklahoma. some people don't know that. he was the director of central intelligence from 1993 until 1 1995, he was adviser of the salt i negotiations, delegate at-large to the start and defense and space negotiations. he stated on november 15th, that this treaty, unlike the original start treaty, russia is free to encrypt teleimtri -- there is no longer the requirement for permanent on-site monitoring of russia's primary missle production facility. which under old start helped us keep track-new mobile missle -- mobile missle entering the soviet force. he goes on and on and that is agreed with the former assistant secretary of verification, compliance and implementation at the u.s. department and state department and pointed out on -- on the 12th of july that the new start has glaring holes in its verification regime. new start is much less verifiable than the original start. now, i only say this because my friend from massachusetts talked about the military, the state departme

director james woolsey said -- "new start's verification provision also provide little or no help in detecting legal activity at ther otherwise hidden from our satellites." and senator bond made a comment that i have quoted before, which is that new start suffers from fundamental verification flaws that no amount of tampering around the edges can fix. the senate select committee on intelligence has been looking at this issue closely over the past several months. there is no doubt in my mind, he says, that the united states cannot reliably verify the treaty's 1,550 limit on deployed warheads. to conclude, would require the president to certify that he has reached an agreement with russia on the nonuse of covers that interfere with type one inspections and tal number f warheads, but it would reduce a method of deception that russia has used in the past. on telemetry, it would require the president to certify he has reached a binding agreement with russia t end unimpstic missile systems deployed by the russians. as i said, they are now free to encrypt those missile tests. that makes it

james woolsey said this, "new start's verification provisions will provide little or no help in detecting illegal activity at locations the russians fail to declare. h., are off-limits to u.s. inspecialghts, or are underground or otherwise hidden from our satellites." when he refers to satellites, those are sometimes referred to as our national assets. they do good and they tell us a lot, but they can't possibly tell us all the things we need to know. that's why we had much more rigorous verification under the start i treaty. there are other things, as i said, that we will be discussing when we get into the classified session on this. let me conclude this point and my presentation this morning with this reality. we will find, and we can say this much at least in open session, that the russians have violated major provisions of most of the agreements that we've entered into with them for a long, long time. start i, the chemical weapons convention, the biological weapons querntion the conventional forces in europe treaty, the open skies and by the way others that i won't mention here. the c

james oberstar. the speaker pro tempore: ms. woolsey of covel. -- of california. mr. gohmert of texas. ms. jackson lee of texas. under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009, the gentleman from maryland, mr. bartlett is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. mr. bartlett: thank you, madam speaker. let me first note the press clippings today that caught my eye, kind of signs of the time. one of them talks about a -- a 1,900 page omnibus appropriations bill that's being prepared. you know there will be no one person in the country that has read all of that bill. and i think the mirn people -- the american people are not supportive of bringing these huge bills to the floor that nobody has had a chance to read. but that wasn't what caught my eye so much as the subheading earmarkers feast on pork one last time before diet. then in brackets it said it includes the joint strike fighter second engine. i'd like to make a couple of comments on earmarks. i know that they are symbolic of frivolous, wasteful, out of control spending in congress. even though the tot
