we are quite hopeful that that will shed some light, as it were, on some of these issues. >> joel, howsee states working with ociao? >> partnership is operative word. the opaque need of the process -- one of my priorities has always been more transparency in my process. i was chief regulator in oregon and we had a crosses their making all of the rate filings fully public on the web page from the day it was filed. did not get it done when i was there but my successor got it done. so that all of the rate filings in oregon are on the web page today -- the day they are filed. literally all the material behind the rate increase as well. we are working toward that in pennsylvania. you would be surprised at the arguments sometimes made by the insurers to resist this. but we are moving in that direction. the affordable care act gives us a big boost because the essentials device in that bill is to shine a public spotlight. not a lot of regulatory teeth and what hhs has an terms of, can't say no to a rate increase. it does not give the states new authority to say, no, but it does require this sp

joel had mentioned to me saying it was pretty bad. i said, wow. then i called my mother back.nd she was there in the hospital. and i heard her say, he's dead. he's dead. he's gone. the tone of her voice, larry, was a tone i've never heard before. and i cried. i didn't know how to get from westwood from azusa. so we put it in the navigation. and we're crying along the way, and the phone is ringing off the hook, and people texting and calling, and the phone system crashes. and as we get closer to westwood, we see all of the helicopters hovering in the sky. and westwood is people standing still and it's taped off, so i drive up to a policeman and they let me in. i go to the emergency part, and i go straight to my mother, and she is sitting there like in a daze. she was just in a daze, numb, staring into space. and then i said -- i consoled her a bit and then i went to see him. i said, well, where is he? they said, he's down the hall a bit. and i walked in this room, and it took a lot, larry, to walk into the room and see your brother laying there lifeless. laying on the -- this g

. >> the chair recognizes that joel levy from california. >> thank you for calling today's hearing. i like to thank our witnesses for appearing before us today. those who had their livelihoods and tight-fisted tester our own president of proportion. they deserve for unconditional support. now we continue to seek answers from bp ann others about the cause of the accident. we must all the responsible accountable. the first priority of bp to stop the leak rom continuing to spread and to ensure that cleanup efforts are carried out to protect our coastal communities and families and livelihoods depend on and it is incumbent on all those to make certain that this never happens again. again.

it's important to note that the medal is named after joel. the spingarn family were great contributors to the naacp. in fact, thurgood marshall was a great litigater in part because of other persons who made contributions to the naacp, they were great contributors and as a result we had this litigation to go forward. the naacp is an organization that welcomes anyone who desires to be a part of the fight for human dignity and human freedom. i believe that the naacp merits this special expression from the congress of the united states of america and i also believe that we should thank senator dodd becaase he has the senate concurrent resolution number 3 that has 15 senators who have signed onto it and hopefully will pass the senate. i'm asking all of my colleagues to please support this legislation because the naacp made it possible for us to sleep where we sleep, because of shelly vs. cramer, it allows us to eat where we eat because of brown vs. the board of education and other cases associated with this. so literally, we live where we live, w

joel klein. wellcome. >> thank you, mr. share. it is a pleasure to be here. i want to thank you for the opportunity to discuss this bill and the new york city's approach to school turnaround, something we've been engaged in -- >> will you reset that? if you go over, do not worry about it. all of your statements will be part of the record in their entirety. you can summon up in five, six, seven minutes. if you go over nine minutes, i will get nervous. >> you go right ahead. you are familiar with my history. in new york state, we have no school where people are hired -- were the people are higher than the altitude. we are vice versa. in the past years, we've been engaged in our rigorous turnaround strategy. i commend the president for setting this talent. no child left behind brought accountability to public education and cast a spotlight, on the shameful achievement gap between our african-american and latino students and are white and asian students on the other. that has really gone unaddressed for generations. the law of rightfully demand that all children

joel ario, do you have anything to add? >> we welcome a continued discussion. i think it is correct that it is a federal law. ultimately, however you said, but they have the final say. >> thank you for being a good audience. we have a paper released today which discusses how competition and consumer protection enforcers can better work with the new federal regulators. we have a paper coming out in just a couple of weeks that will deal with a lack of adequate state regulation. but thank you to everyone on the panel for today's excellent presentations.
