first like to thank the congressional high-performance building caucus co-chairs, russ carnahan and judy biggert, for their work on this important issue and for bringing awareness to the congress and the public on the importance and benefits of high-performance buildings. this resolution will declare the week of june 15 through june 19, 2009, as  high-performance building week. according to the energy independence and security act of 2007, a high-performance building is defined as a building that sbeg grates and optimizes on a life cycle basis all major high-performance atributes including energy conservation, environment, safety, security, durability, accessibility, cost benefit, productivity, functionality and operational considerations. it is important to focus on making our buildings high-performance buildings for many reasons some which that our homes, offices, schools and other buildings consume 40% of the primary energy and 70% of the electricity used in the united states annually. that buildings consume about 12% of the pottable water in this country. and construction buildings

judy and dennis shepard are here today. i assured her and all of you that we are going to pass an exclusive hate crimes bill into law, one named for their son matthew. [applause] in addition, my administration is committed to be sending the discriminatory ban into the head states based on hiv status. -- into the united states based on the hiv status. the office of management and budget just reviewed a proposal, which is a first and very big step to ending this policy. we all know that hiv aids continues to be a threat in many communities, including right here in the district of columbia. i was proud once again to encourage all americans to know their status and get at it -- to get there -- to know their status and get tested. [applause] finally, i want to say a word about don't ask, don't tell. as i have said before, and i will say it again, i believe don't ask, don't tell does not contribute to our national security. i believe preventing patriotic americans from serving their country weakens our national security. [applaus

i would like to quote something from the book of rahm emmanuel -- we believe the popper judy for all special privilege for none is america's special mission. -- the opportunity for all. i think if we stick with that we can see iran overcome its situation. another said that at every stage and under all circumstances the essence of the struggle is equalized the opportunity. host: thank you. guest: to be courted alongside fdr, rahm if use watching the show and i'm sure that he is, would be very pleased. i agree with the gentleman. i also want to say if you pay this despot into a corner -- if you remember during the cuban missile crisis, bobby kennedy said let's not paint khrushchev into such a corner that he will react so violently -- that is what they did the deal in turkey. you have to get someone out or he would just lose it. there's no measure to the damage he can do to his own people. host: here is another message from twitter. let me turn to one domestic issue concerning sonya sotomayor and her nomination. these writers say that the poll found that most americans would be willing

thank you-- this ownership is the judy among the people of green bay. this is the fastest way to get back to the wise principle. if you confided in the yellow pages the government ought not to be doing it. more than the money, it is the principle of the thing. the other day a visiting european automotive executives said to me with a laugh, that he had come to the new american automotive center, washington dc. to get our economy moving again, let's get our auto companies out of the hands of washington politicians and bureaucrats and back into the marketplace in the hands of american investors. the sooner the better. >> when lamar described this amendment that he has just described to you and i said, i have an amendment that will fit perfectly and so i have joined my amendment to his and we will be offering it as the alexander bennett amendment or as i suppose it will be known in utah, the bennett alexander amendment. there will obviously be a period of time before the stock can be distributed. he has anticipated roughly a year. it in that period of a yea

i like him and i this is great we have a president, intelligence, educated and with a judy house temprement but i disagree on some of the policies. this is america, i can do that. this whole stimulus packet we can go into but this little angle. the people getting that money it's quite questionable whether they even want it and two companies have announced they're spending 17 billion each. the private sector is doing 35 billion dollars of what obama is doing with 7 billion dollars. i think that's more of a political pin to stick in the wall than actually going to contribute. >> how behavorial are the adds on google that hold information and target you with certain searchs? >> we use that kind of technology and i actually don't understand and would be happy to hear from a listener, what would be so offensive about that. when you walk into nordstrom the guy knows you and remembers you and says i remember those shoes you were looking at this other guy came in it may seem like when you go to google and see adds relevant to what you search for gives you a big brother feel. there's no big but ther

in this report, and actually, it is not included on the back of the report but i think we have this judy to these to members. and we have taken the figures, provided by d.o.t.. you can see the outlays, the unemployment rate and in each of the states. also, the amount of money again that has been expended. what they did is, on this particular chart here, these are the top ten, highest unemployment states including the district of columbia and it shows the amount of outlay as that, it would be june 1st on this particular one, $11 million. folks, this is pitiful that the cannot get people working. we can't get the stimulus money out and we are tied up in red tape and bureaucracy. we have created that, so we have got to do something mr. oberstar and members on this committee, to figure a way to get people working, jobs and cut the red tape. right now under stimulus and in the long term under the bill that is under consideration for the authorization for the next six years. i thank our witnesses and look forward to hearing from them. some of the gun and excellent job. mr. babbitt is going to

we have a microphone here or if he would like to turn in your yellow cards to judy and carolyn are walking through. and while we wait why don't we go down the panel and handicap the chances for health care reform? and i'm not going to put you on the spot, while i won't put you on the spot first bob because you showed something while we were waiting. what's the smart money? you have to tell the group while talking about. >> there is a website on which economists generally but the public at large can express their opinions by buying shares of various from, you know, what economic growth and while i was sitting here and got an e-mail from a friend with the latest quote on significant health care reform and of being enacted by the end of 2009 and the price is 35% at this point, the person that sent to me because i was quoted in "the washington post" saying somewhere between one-third and 40% earlier. i won't say whether i actually said that, but the person said you really are a market economist after all. >> i think there will be health reform and one only hopes that it does something positive
