the nobel laureate from mit talks about what we could do in the space station in the future to studycosmic rays, which are most intense in space, not on eartrth. it as potentially a future source of energy production. that is the kind of science. but we're not talking about just going into space just to go into space. i think that is valid and i think you have asked a valid question. if that were all we were doing, i would not be pushing this. i am pushing it because if we continue our priorities and space, we will be the ones who can capture the cosmic rays and have the renewable energy sources that will keep us from having to drill for oil and gas and go to the renewable energy of the future. that is why we're doing this. is the future and we want to do it, rather than having others do it, so we harness them. i want to ask the question, because i want to go to something that dr. cernan said in his testimony that he did not use. because there were so many other things that you did say. that is talking about putting all of the money into private contractors, but having nasa take the

when in 1970 that team at mit published that book, "the limits to growth," that caused so much aid to for so many and so much push back. their prediction was that sometime in the next hundred years we would reach the point where continued growth of the sort that we were used to wouldn't be possible. they weren't able to say exactly when it would happen, but i think they would be -- i think they would be and surprised at some level to see the arctic melting, to see the daily's occurring in place after place after place, to see the very notion, or metaphor for fastness on this planet turned acidic, 30 percent more simply by the effort of the ocean to drive that car been out of t of the atmosphere. if we are not, and you will just have to take this for the argument. if we are not going to grow our way out of our trouble than we we are going to have to think about other possibilities. i thought i might read just for a minute from the beginning of the third chapter here. a i kind of making make, to me, te beginning of the argument about where i think we need to head to. it starts with word

go to mit and look at the number of chinese faces you'll see in those labs. they're good scientists, so -- and it is well-known in our -- in our intelligence community, brian, that the chinese have been trying to upgrade and improve the reliability and the security of their small nuclear deterrent. they have about -- less than 20 icbms, some of which -- that -- that could reach the united states. we have about 6,000 nuclear weapons that could be programmed against china. the -- what they're looking for is the assured capability to respond to any nation that ever launched a nuclear attack against them. i don't think that's a threat to the united states. i think it's predictable that a -- that a member of the permanent five of the security council, and of a power that large in asia with such a large border with the former soviet union, aspired to that -- to have that kind of nuclear capability so as not to be subjected to pressure and international diplomacy -- undue pressure. c-span: what do you want people to take away from this book? and why did you spend a

walsh met him several times, he's an international security expert as well as a research associate at mit security studies program, how are you doing and good morning up there -- do you have drinking water in boston, by the way? >> i do not, bill. i'm one of these -- i'm one of these dr. doom types and i had several gallons stored away, i'm in good shape. bill: you are well prepared but millions are without that and we covered that story a few moments ago, mahmoud ahmadinejad comes here and gets a platform and what will he do with the opportunity, jim? >> i think it -- he'll give a speech that attacks the u.s. as the country that has nuclear weapons, has used nuclear weapons and it will be similar to a speech he gave two weeks ago, in tehran, when iran hosted a nuclear conference, and, he's trying to do two things and trying to work both on foreign policy, and, speak to a domestic audience, back home. because, even as he gives the speech -- there will be people at the u.n. and the security council, meeting on the second sanctions resolution, and so he's pushing back on that and trying --

sfop price serves to mit indicate market spikes that can occur because of the continuous triggering, election, and trading of stop orders due to insufficient liquidity. on may 6, the stop price lodge i can triggered the equity index allowing the market to locate electric widity -- liquidity and stablize. in fact, we see market wick widity on both sides of the market on this day. staff find ggeds result from the ongoing reviews of the epts of may 6. we commend the swift response and look forward to working with them to identify constructive solutions. we are pleased and con cure with those recommendations seeking harmonization. circuit breakers for individual stocks such as those implemented by the nyse muvet harmonized across markets. stop-gaps should be established to prevent downward cascading movement as the event shows it should. i thank the committee for this opportunity, and i look forward to answering your questions. >> thank you very much, gentleman. listening today to the testimony, i think we all would be more relieved if it was the fault of fat finger who sounds spanishly

let's just go to harvard and mit and see how many of those kids can make it through the academies. who will the grunts follow up the hill. host: you mentioned that the british use sandhurst as a post-academy system. guest: i would have to loointo it. i did do some research recently. both at sandhurst and dartmouth, the students range in age from 18 to 35. using the one year to several years. they have gotten out of the business of combining an undergraduate education with the military. that would be one option for us nabl is beautiful. i lovit there. -- annapolis is beautiful. i love it there. the issue would be that it may make more senseo do it kind of eighth rotc think where they do notave this mickey mouse stuff that is not military. let them concentrate on the academics. obviouy they go out and get drunk and colleges. but let them grow up among other things. then you can send them to an equivalent of a commando school. that would be one option. host: have you seen many veterans of iraq and afghanistan come through? do they get admitted to the academy after service? guest: yes,

mit announced that they had a product that would soak up oil but would not absorb water.he inventor said that he had taken his inspiration from the lilly pad and i believe the most important action that could happen right now is to make sure that the liability would not be limited. there are rumors that the liability will be capped at 75 million. the numbers they are throwing out there is $10 billion. >> you know, with congress, we can do almost anything if we have the will to do it. i'm sure with the impact of this oil spill, there will be the political will to pass a law. the second issue we have to push for is the excell operation of the revenue sharing for louisiana we will need all of the money that will be available from tax revenues and revenue sharing in order to restore our eek owe system and economy. >> so the u.s. congress would need to approve a revenue sharing plan? guest: they have already. right now it is at 37.5%. you are looking at six more years down the road. right now, our coasts have been impacted because of off shore drilling. i blobe we need the rev

i would ask what steps you mit take to make sure that the spirit of the enforcement mechanisms that you outlined to me in the answer to your previous questions are not contradicted by the statements of agents that, in fact, then strike fear into legitimate businesses in the eyes of our states? >> it's incumbent upon me as attorney general to make sure that what we have set out as policy is being followed by all of the components within the department of justice. and to t extent that somebody at the d.e.a., somebody at, some assistant united states attorney is not following that policy, it is my responsibility to make sure that the policy is clear, that the policy is disseminated, and that people act in conformity with the policies that we have determined. >> do you believe, do you agree that statements that could be reasonably taken as threatening to businesses that are legal in our state are, in fact, category to your stated policy? >> well, again, if the entity is, in fact, operating consistent with state law and is not -- does not have any of those factors involved that are contained

for exceptional spills which exceed the opa mits, the emergency trust fund is available to make payments and the emergency trust fund is based on a per barrel petroleum tax. alternatively, responsible party will pay in the excess of their limits without seeking reimbursement for the reasons i -- because of the threat of an unlimited liability for violation of a federal safety -- applicable federal safety regulation or grossegligence or potentially criminal liability under the federal statutes that impose criminal liabilities for oil discharge. it's important to -- when considering an increase to the opa limits, it's important to carefully study the overall liabily and compensation scheme can. a precipius change in opa limits could have adverse and unintended impacts on this functioning and reliable compensation system for oil spills there is also a potential to disrupt u.s. oil imports because an increase in opa limits comes with an increase to the participants in the industry to provide this financial responsibility certificates. this, eventually, will require extraordinary -- extraordi

that is why professor lenton of mit has concluded the amount of warming you can expect to get from a doubling of co2 concentration, that's a scientific measurement not playing with xbox 360 models, is only not .7 kelvin compared with a 3.26, which is the best estimate of the u.n. climate panel. not .7 kelvin for a doubling of co2 concentration is small harmless and generally beneficial. >> i i thank the gentleman i appreciate the indulgence of a chair and allowing him to answer. i guess her conclusion is that i will conclude with this remark that we should do nothing. certainly appears to me, it is evident to me that whether we do nothing or what we do there is clearly at least a dispute about the evidence and it is not in fact apparently agreed upon. mr. chairman i would also like at some point to ask unanimous consent to put in the record the actual e-mails which were exchanged, which i believe show that dialogue going on with regard to the analysis of the ipcc report. without objection it will be included in the record. the gentleman's time has expired in the chair recognizes the

guest: it's getting dicey in umplete they've made a lot of umplete they've made a lot of mits takes. the main mistake they've made is when there's a panic you have to reassure the market that you'll go in with overwhelming force. and however much money you need, you'll provide that and then some to make sure there's no doubt about greece to e able to pay that back. instead, you saw argument. you saw germany quarreling with france or other countries. and that tends to undermine investorrconfidence. they have now put up enough money to ensure that greece can get whatever it needs in the next two or three years. the risk now is that having seen kind of the faintness of courage in europe, investors are questioning whether the same thing could happen to portugal or italy or spain, and now you're seeing their rates tart start to rise. today in europe there was a summit of the major european leaders where they said they were going to create a permanent mechanism to assist countries in trouble. maybe that's finally the step that will relieve the panic. that will relieve the panic. if that do

and the head of the program, to harvard degrees and mit ph.d.n economics hired away by the federal reserve in the wake of all of this. these are good people and very smart people. one of the things that's always impressed me about the sec is how sharp the resources are and how the agency is able to attract the very best people so i think that is something of a kinard. but i do think is correct and something the inspector general has pointed out in other areas if not this one is that the hour skill sets that overweight the lawyers and that is probably something that is going to be continuing for the agency to try to diversify because even if it is going to be roel based and not provincial but still needs to have a variety of skills sets. >> perhaps you would like to -- >> [inaudible] >> just one minute. perhaps this demonstrates as well as anything could help institutions that are too big and interconnected to fail may be too big to supervise as well. >> that is an outstanding observation with which i completely concur and i haven't heard it said

mit sister lost her job. these folks lost their jobs. after the health care bill passed, they had to be let go. i understand we have had our salaries cut. been told it's coming. these are economy killers and these are robbing -- these things in the health care bill are robbing america of people who would be able to have to help with that income tax burden. it's tragic and breaks my heart to hear these people have lost their jobs because they had to ram this health care did he formed bill -- deformed bill instead of doing what's right for america. we didn't have to have people lose their jobs. and i want to mention one other thing about the tea party folks before i yield back to my friend from iowa. we heard that people were rowdy at the tea party back that weekend that health care got rammed down america's throat. and is of some of us went out and walked and saw the folks, walked down the street, people lining the sidewalks pretty thick, yelling and cheering when some of us came out who were so opposed to health care. but as i was going

that has been done at mit and a mouse model and cured sickle cell disease in the mouth. everybody will say we have cured a lot of diseases with mice and we have that by this protocol and pretty radical and pretty exciting and certainly one of the diseases i hope will be high on the list for first human applications will be sickle cell. it has been 100 years since this does-- disease was first described. >> let me ask you about our columnists-- autologous stem cells. i've been meeting about the change in their approval process that took place in about 2005 if i'm not mistaken. but that is another regulatory and. i am just interested in the scientific and because i have it people in my office who have had autologous stem cell treatment, and interesting group of people. one was a pilot who had been in an airplane crash, and was basically paralyzed from his waist down and through a process of a tall at the stem cells-- he is not walking like you and i but with keynes, he is actually walking but not fully recovered. another person that had some hard problems brought in his di

matt, who was the head of the program, to harvard degrees and in mit ph.d. in economics. he was hired away by the federal reserve in the wake of all this. these are very smart people. the agency is able to attract the very best people. i think that is something -- what i do think is correct is that the skill sets at the sec overweight lawyers. that will be something that is continuing for the agency to try to diversify. even if it is going to be rule based, it's still be to have a variety of skill sets. >> would like additional time? >> one minute. perhaps this demonstrates as well as anything could how institutions that are too vague and interconnected to fell -- too big and too interconnected to fail, maybe some -- maybe too big to supervise as well. >> i completely concur. i have not heard it said at all. one of the lessons we have got to infer from all of this is that if the market is going to be moving as fast as it is, people will be developing new products in the future. a systems regulation that tells everybody to slowdown is not going to work. instead, you've got

the nobel-prize winner from mit talked about what we could do in the space station in the future, to study the cosmic rays, the most intense in space and not on earth, as a possible source of energy production. we're not talking about going into space simply to go into space. if this is everything that we were doing, i would not be pushing for this. if we continue our priorities in space, we will be able to capture this and have the energy, the renewable energy sources that will keep us from having to drill for oil and gasoline, going to the renewable energy of the future. this is the future, and we want to do this, rather than having others do this, so that we are the people who will harness this. i want to go to something that the doctor said in his testimony that he did not use, because there were so many others. so many other things that you did say. and this is talking about putting all the money into private contractors, and having them take the step back rather than being the massive project with the private contractors. and you had said that we assume that this goal, that the
