commissioner mcdowell, do you have anything else to add? >> just to underscore for broadcasters it is they who have come to us. it is they who came to us for 2007 portion when we wanted certain parts of the public ne. but they're the ones coming to the commission saying this must might be unduly burdensome with the requirements posted realtime. it means hiring one or more people to staff that and post these things in realtime. for a small broadcasters especially in smaller markets or larger markets that's very es expensive. keep in mind that there is legislation that was voted out expensive. keep in mind that there is legislation that was voted ou expensive. keep in mind that there is legislation that was voted out of the house that would require the fcc to conduct appropriate cost benefit analysis when adopting new rules that are real and not cursory. that might be something to think about in this context as well. >> yeah. and we'll pursue that at some other point, because sometimes i wonder how the cost benefit analyses are actually perfo

but mcdowell's first corps incidentally amounted to 40,000 men was up around fredericksburg. and what mcclellan had planned for mcdowell to do is march from fredericksburg almost due south and come in on the left or the northern flank of confederate forces defending the peninsula. imagine his shock when he got an order from washington telling him, no, you can't have mcdowell, you took too many troops out of washington. we're unsafe here. you can't have mcdowell because this fellow jackson that we read about, he's already attacked the union force near kearnstown and no telling what he'll do next. he may sweep down the potomac and attack washington, we've got to keep him here. what this meant for mcclellan was not that they weren't going to attack to siege richmond, but they weren't going to be able to do it through strategical point maneuver, they'd have to rely more on a pounding, slow process starting at yorktown and he thought to bring along a siege artillery, so in early april his forces arrived near yorktown. the whole revolutionary war entrenchments now much improved by

i look forward to your questions. >> many thanks, commissioner mcdowell. it's nice to have you here, too. so i want to get into this whole issue if we could of political files. there was -- i'm sure you all read "the washington post" article this morning. and i'm -- i'm curious, chairman genachowski, where in your governing statute does it say that the fcc is -- or has responsibility or the authority over campaign finance issues? i'm kind of confused by this. >> sure. congress in 2002 directed required broadcasters to disclose information about campaign ads, et cetera, that was a cod fiction of fcc rules that had been in effect for a long time and the statute provides orders to the fcc to carry out those provisions. but if i could, the issue that is raised in this proceeding is part of a broad effort to move from paper to digital. in fact, the suggestion in the proposal that was made in october which was based on a widely praised report from about a year ago identified the broadcaster public file as one of the last pieces of disclosure that was purely on p

and mcdowell's career never quite recovers. i'm not saying he was some great general but even as a corps commander is going to be plagued by you're the guy that lost the first battle. it wasn't just his fault. a lot of things went wrong. with smm with his level of inexperience. he did okay. lee is like this. does lee do so great in western virginia? he does terrible. why is lee even put in command of the army, what later becomes the army of northern virginia. johnson takes a bullet and is incapacitated. where is the other four star. happens to be in richmond. put him in command. the rest is history. lee has nothing to do with that. and you can make the same argument about various episodes in grant's career. most of you know, what's grant's antebellum career like? it wasn't great. he does pretty good in mexico. he has an excellent combat record in mexico. the very boring world of a regular army becomes problematic. some of you probably heard of grants -- what did grant like to imbibe. some issues with alcohol and it's still cont

but terribly -- and that's not mcdowel's fault. but it's a close call. but what happens by necessity to mcdowell? he gets fired. and his career never quite recovers. i'm not saying that he was a great general. but mcdowell is always going to be played by the sense of you're the guy whoo lost the first battle. really, rationally, it wasn't really just his fault. i mean, a lot of things went wrong. for someone with his level of inexperience, which is true of everyone else, he did okay. lee is like this too. he does terrible. all right. why is lee put in command of the army? >> johnson gets injured. >> johnson takes a bull let where is the other four star? he happens to be in richmond. put him in command. the rest is history. lee has nothing to do with that. you can make the same argument about various episodes in grant's career. so what is grant's career like? it wasn't great. he does pretty good in mexico. he has an excellent combat record in mexico. some of you probably heard of grant's -- he liked to -- what's the story? some issues with alcohol. and it

eliminated requirements that restrict spectrum use, promoting flexible use of spectrum that commissioner mcdowell talked about. so the regulations we eliminated they extend from the, why is that still on the books, to there are barriers and burdens to innovation investment that shouldn't be there and we should eliminate them. >> thank you. and i thank the chairman, by the way. we have a very good working relationship. he doesn't take it personally when i dissent. it's worth a lot in this town. i think. i would love to see a comprehensive list of those 200. i don't have one. so that would be helpful. i think. in some cases we would have to vote on them. in other cases we don't have to vote on them. so at the same -- i'll take him at his word that some 200 requirements have been removed from the books. at the same time, a few area where is there were rules added to the books. maybe 200. it's terrific. let's continue that trend. but at the same time let's make sure we're not taking one step forward, two steps back with more regulation. >> but you don't know of any that have been withdrawn? you say t

i would like to join you in welcoming chairman genachowski and commissioner mcdowell. like many of the agencies we deal with, the fcc plays a vital role in our everyday lives even though much of its important work takes place behind the scenes. the role of the fcc grows in scope and importance as technology becomes more affordable and as more people have access through the internet through a variety of devices. i will be interested in hearing whether with these rapid innovations you have the resources to ensure consumers are protected in the marketplace. as improvements in technology give more people access, that means that resources move online and, therefore, internet access has become vital to being able to get a good education, find a job or simply to connect with family around the world. therefore i'm interested in the steps you're taking to broaden access and make sure that everyone who wants access can get it. one way to increase access to broadband is by allowing more spectrum to be used for that purpose. i know in the upcoming year the goal for the fcc is to i

that question were asked by some means of magic we were writing history in 1863 compared to irvin mcdowell who lost the first battle of bull run, mcclellan was a great success. that's why he was elevated to the position. compared to generals who were politically appointed, those that were defeated left and right in the shenandoah valley, people like nathaniel banks, defeated by -- and fremont defeated by stonewall jackson, mcclellan was a profession. but later when compared to people like ulysses s. grant, sherman who split the confederacy in two, mcclellan does not compare as favorably as those men, who took their west point training and their prewar experiences and brought forth a winning combination. although -- >> our guest is john mountcastle, go ahead, finish your thought. i'm sorry. >> i would say that the spirit that he engendered in the fighting soldiers within the army of the potomac while not 100% in favor of mcclellan was so strong that they never truly forgot him. and in that regard he was regarded by many of his contempora contemporaries than better in history. >> john mountc

mcdowel's tents, possiblily his headquarters. right flank of sherman's division as it lay encamped and around shiloh church. there's another union camp that they occupied that night further north, one of the brigades of mcclernon's division. it's a probability as well but i think the highest probability would be the first camp, the 16th louisiana, mcdowell's camp was there for some time, and could i see them taking this flag. this was donated to the park years ago from descendants of major gober. it's in good shape showing that it was well cared for and stored. even though apparently this had been buried at one time in the ground. that's the story. that's the family story with a loved one for a while, in a grave. i'm not sure, but it was recovered later, and that's how they claim that the staining occurred. it may have gotten wet underground at that point in time. all the flags underwent major conservation treatment so they could be properly exhibited. next flag is not a relic of the battle, having been a witness flag of the batt

but i think the highest probability is the 16th camp, mcdowell's camp, they were there for some time and i can see them taking this flag. and this was donated to the park years ago. from descendents of major gober. it's in good shape, showing that it was well cared for and stored. even though apparently this has been buried at one time in ground. that's the story. that's the family story. with a loved one for a while in a grave. i'm not sure. but it was recovered later. and that's how they claim that staining occurred. it may have gotten wet underground. at that point in time. all the flags underwent major conservation treatment so they could be properly exhibited. the next flag is not a relic of the battle, or been a witness flag of the battle. this is an 1864 dalton pattern, confederate flag, adopted by the army of tennessee at that point in time and issued to the troops. it was in bad shape when it arrived here in a brown paper bag. a gentleman walked in, threw it down on the visitor center information desk. which just happened to be manned by the chief ranger at that time, george

commissioner mcdowell, can you explain for the committee your thoughts on universal service fund reform? what i read of what you said is you agreed with some. you had concerns about the other. some other parts and you disagreed with the other. if you wouldn't mind explaining to all of us here your specific problems. >> sure. one of the concerns is we have not yet addressed the taxing side of universal service reforms that's how you pay for all this. there are four funds where we spend money under the universal service umbrella. we've gotten to most of those reforming and spending side. we haven't gotten to the contribution or taxing side. so the chairman and i talk about this on a regular basis. it's my hope that we can launch another notice of rule making as quickly as possible and conclude it this year. we need to expand and broaden the base of contributors and lower the contribution factor make it sort of a flatter tax sorts. right now we're taking a lot from a shrinking pool of revenue. and we do need to broaden that base and reduce the overall burden. that's something i've maintain

mcdowell. >> thank you for the opportunity to speak. so we do keep them in mind, the territories. just last october i had a terrific conversation with the governor of puerto rico about the university service reform and need to make sure that all the unique circumstances were taken into consideration. whether it's upcoming spectrum auctions or other things regarding injecting more spectrum in the hands of consumers or broad band deployment or adoptions, we do take them into account very seriously and do all we can. a lot of them do have unique circumstances and we do try to incorporate that into our policies. >> thank you for that. i think it's always important 30 keep aware of what they're thinking as a certain presidential candidate found out this weekend in puerto rico. >> indeed. >> thank you. >> mr. womack. >> i've got a couple of follow up questions. i'm not going to be near as understanding or forgiving for what my colleague brought to the intention of this panel here just a few minutes ago in regard to the number of employees that are now receiving in excess of $150,000 ann

when he won the battle of mcdowell after some clever counter marching and fainting, and extended them through the second of the climactic two days of battle. so from may 8th to june 9th covers 33 days, he went from a virtual nonentity to pretty much a genuine legend. that explosive rise might be compared, just for thought purposes, with the increase in lee's popularity as a southern hero in the south and elsewhere. jackson's companion on the rise to fame, lee, had a very different sort of a move up the wide axis of the public opinion graph. i compared it once and it seemed to me to be apt to the difference of calliope he shot up with a shrill whistle and perhaps a pipe organ in lee's case. jackson, of course, had earned his name stonewall very early in the worng, but he found no student for distinction or activity for many months thereafter. there ensued, as you well know, the almost unbelievable sitzkrieg all through the summer, the fall and the winter of 1861 and into 1862. george b. mcclellan and johnston both equipped by nature did nothing, absolutely nothing. they were as full of

to ben stein, dagen mcdowell, along with charlie gasperino. >> first of all, looked like a hell afteri'm a little jealous. >> with that kind of, it should be a hell of a party. >> and go ahead. >> here is the thing, a hell after party. a little jealous i wasn't invited because i helped to pay for it. now, the president said i wasn't going to be paying those, i don't par for my own party. the 2010, president said no one. why are you going to vegas, we're in the middle of a meltdown, i didn't go, but they went. i don't get it. we talk about the ultimate double standard. >> neil: what do you think. >> it's shocking and i looked up. and i thought what general services administration do? they're responsible for managing and supporting the government functioning of federal agencies and in part, to keep the costs down. my favorite was, they spent $130,000 on six planning trips to plan this. >> neil: and you know in college, there was somebody, an intern for the gsa, i had no idea what the heck i was doing, and furthermore, neither did my boss, neither did my boss, but it was essentially a pr

you need to hear about me and my guest, i have ben stein with me, degan mcdowell and charles payne. the clown suit not withstanding. if the goal of this is never to address the debt, and i guess it's done in the name of fairness or whatever. someone lied to me. >> well, initially in the first part of the administration, they tried to take this agenda and wrap it around, you know, wrap economic policy around it. but i think the scary part of this is you're right, they've dropped the facade. forget about it. it's not about the economy. it's about fairness and social justice. the dream of the left is yew tonian. when the president said this week, the aspirations of the americans going to the middle class, i almost fell out my chair and almost cried. since totfield came to this country, the aspirations of every american is to be rich. not to move into the middle class. this is scary staff. this is a meeting of socialism, capitalism together. it's been tried before, by the way, and always failed. >> the european -- >> you just crashed up the joint right there! >> let's bring it down! >>

even if they -- even if mcdowell had prevailed. i also think that there would have been unintended or to us what would have been unintended consequences of a prolonged war even with a union victory at manassas, and just think about what craig said. the objective of the union of the federal government was reunion. and it might have -- it might have caused renegotiation or political dialogue with the confederate states which lincoln would not recognize anyway. and it clearly would have obviated emancipation, if the goal was to bring back into the union those states that had seceded. i think it would have even complicated the political -- the political protocol that developed, if you want to call it that. as it did during the conflict. >> i think we've broken some new ground here actually. yes, sir? >> canonsburg, pennsylvania. tom in his introductory remarks talked about buchanan possibly coming up with a compromise. my question would be what kind of compromise would be acceptable to both sides? lincoln would never give up the idea o

in fact, he even loses contact with his only intact brigade and that will be mcdowell's brigade to the west. we'll have to drive confederates out of his way to continue his retreat or retirement to the north. so there's a huge, huge overrun of this position. part of the reason we know the confederates are able to do it quite easily is that in front of us just beyond the road, the ground folds. it begins to fold down into those tributaries of shiloh branch, and if you can imagine what's missing is confederates are maneuvering beyond what is a huge federal encampment. mcclernand's tents were here. these tents will be positioned in front of them as well. think of them as screening the confederate advance. think of the ground folding off. you can walk down to where the camp markers are for that brigade of mcclernand's division which its right flank was encamped in front of us just beyond the road. you can stand there at the camp marker and look back at the road and that road is at eye level, but you can see over that road into this federal line. but if you stand here and look back, you can

speaking on their behalf, robert mcdowell, currently the only republican commissioner on the fcc, said the proposal "is likely to be a jobs destroyer" by distracting station employees from doing their regular work. the party line has also been sounded by jerald fritz, senior vice president of allbritton communications. he told the fcc that making the information available on the internet "would ultimately lead to a soviet-style standardization of the way advertising should be sold as determined by the government." friends, i could not make that up. the industry leaves nothing to chance. through its control of the house of representatives, it got a piece of legislation passed this week euphemistically titled the fcc process reform act. reform, my foot! not only does the bill remove roadblock to more media mergers, further reducing competition, it would subject every new rule and every fcc analysis of that rule to years of paper work and judicial review, enabling the industry's horde of lawyers and lobbyists, "to throw sand in the works at every opportunity" as one expert puts it. there
