that was a few years ago katie couric was the narrator and christopher reeve was the creative consultant. his brother is a history teacher in vermont. he was very interested in history and he called all of his friends in hollywood and ask them to be voices. nobody would turn down christopher reeve so anybody you ever heard of in hollywood is in this series. and they all did it free. astonishingly. and they had a choice. big names. they had a choice and they turned down astonishing people. that is available for teachers and schools. >> host: it is a dvd but you told me the book? >> guest: the book is out of print and that is awful and that is because of the war between texting and trade it was called a trade book so folks -- schools could not buy it. i said in west virginia with the state school board and they wanted to buy the books for all of the students in west virginia. that is a lot of students they would not sell that to them because this salesperson did not have it in his list. what ever. it was a lose louis. the school people were furious and they have a chip on their shoulders.

katie reported to this group some of the 345 brass cancer deaths which was nearly three-fourths of the total or in women who were not regularly screened. women who work regularly screened had 25% of the cancer deaths. women who did not have regular screening 75% of the cancer deaths. i think that is trying to tell us something and i think again the 2,000-pound gorilla in the room is the brave new world of health care which congress is going to dictate how things are happening and the recommendations the preventive task force now carry the weight of law if you will under the auspices of the secretary of health and human services or ever they designate, so i think we are having this hearing and i think it is extremely important and extremely timely and i look forward to the testimony of our witnesses, dr. brawley always good to see you and i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank you mr. burgess. the gentlewoman from california, ms. capps. >> thank you chairman pallone ferc holding this hearing. i am so pleased that you and we all have responded quickly to the release of the task fo

. >> hello, my name's katie from the u.s. chamber, and this whole topic, i know, is very complicated. one of my friends, former hbs guy, real estate develop left his career and is now teaching in one of your schools, and the classroom, you know, he's probably going to kill me for bringing this up, but what he's facing, the classroom's falling apart, he's actually been abused by students, you know, he's teaching a class of what they're called repeaters, so kids who have gone through algebra i, failed, so all are going through it again. and one of the things that i don't have my hands around is how do we -- i would assume he's probably a very is effective teacher, but he has a lot of cards stacked against him of helping his kids because of so many different factors. so when you look at gaming a teacher's effectiveness, how do you take all that into account if -- i just don't understand that totally. >> yeah. so welcome to my world. [laughter] and i know teachers that you're talking about -- i think the first thing that we have

and next will be katie nees who manages the federal and state public policy activities, especially thoselicies that help children and adults with disabilities to live, learn, work, and play in their community. she was on the legislative staff of tom harkin on disability policies between 1987 and 1991 where she worked on disability legislation including the american with disabilities act and the disability education act. kathleen rondy is the co-founder for the center of education. representing students from low-income families whose primary mission it is to ensure high quality education of all students, including those with disabilities. p professor john c. britton returned as a professor of law at the university of the district of columbia. prior to that, he served as chief counsel and senior deputy director of the lawyers committee for civil rights under law in washington, d.c. he's a former law school dean, la professor and public interest civil rights lawyer with a career of over 40 years. veronica rivera is a legislative staff attorney with the mexican-american legal defense and edu

we are in production now and were pleased that katie couric has agreed to host the third piece of thiswhich will deal with the grieving process, the most difficult one to address. how to families cope with the most difficult thing they will ever have to cope with? cady lost her husband at a young age, and she has agreed to host this pbs special for 2010 which will be in prime time. we are so thrilled to have her as part of this. finally we did a project with the uso tour dozens of military bases with a live show with the muppets, to bring joy and hope to these kids on military bases as they get through the difficult times they are facing. these are examples of how to use this cultural icon to bring change to targeted specific populations. the fifth lesson is that media convergence has arrived big time. it is the first year where more viewers will access sesame street contents for other platforms than broadcast television. think about that. sesame street now has a broad digital distribution. we start with pbs, which is an enormous partner and many stations they have which have been such

my name is katie from san antonio, texas. my question is, in respect to the public option, does the u.s. government have a duty to make health care accessible and affordable for everybody in the country if we run a capitalist system which allows people to make personal choices on what services they would like to buy? >> guest: well, i think your question is central to this debate and maybe central to the differences between the two political parties of whether, for instance, the federal government ought to be mandating that everybody buy health insurance. and i think i've made myself very clear on that point earlier when i said in the 225-year history of our country the federal government has never said you had to buy anything. now, states require you to buy car insurance, but states have more power under the tenth amendment, any power not prohibited in the federal constitution to the federal government states can do. and that's where they get the power to do it. the question is, is it constitutional for the federal governmen
