america it may have actually begun to some extent it may have been a foreshadowing of that in the monroe doctrine of course written by john quincy adams but i think in terms of -- it seems to have been a kind of sort of a approach that we have often taken i do think that hugo chavez is probably not, and i may be wrong in this production but i don't think that he's going to be around all that much longer because he's spending himself into a predictable financial crisis. he is so much in favor of populist policies that address the needs of the poor and that is certainly not a bad thing at all. but by making enemies of major lenders, and turning to governments like north korea, he is dealing with problems of debt and inflation, and i think he is not bright enough frankly to get himself out of the fix he's putting himself in. but also i would have to say that there are a number of countries in latin america that do not share chavez's views either towards the united states or the rest of the world. certainly the government in peru doesn't. the government of mexico doesn't and while brazil und

photo of every single legal advisor in the walk-in and you say this is judge aber tam, former judge, monroeh one of the icons of the washington legal establishment. there is a sense that l has a personality which continues in its job is to provide assistance to the secretary of state into the president, whereas in the other day are political appointees that sought out and you never find the former assistant secretary of state picture in the office. it's always the current secretary of state. there is a culture and tradition which i think is very important to maintain. >> at what point does have her do these problems like the torture memo is get back to people like george w. bush and would they ever be prosecuted? would he ever be prosecuted for them? what kind of consequences or sanctions would result? >> in the old days, as paul alluded to, there were no criminal problems or penalties if he violated international law. but starting about 1945 it has become the case that individuals can be prosecuted for order in wartime, crimes against humanity, genocide and torture among other things. this

we will go to monroe, new york, where it was coming down in buckets yesterday and they had a hard time sidewalks clear for that matter. in pleasantville, new york, a similar scene but not quite as bad. the heavy, wet, snow is making things worse than if it were dry. and let's see what we have left with this particular system. it's sitting and spinning and it's not moving very rapidly, and it's gotten rid of the warm air and now it's all cold. temperatures below freezing and we will see drier snow because of this. we are not seeing a drastic weakening of the system. as a matter of fact, there are still blizzard warnings up as far south as north carolina and western parts of virginia. and flood warnings are in effect for parts of eastern new england. heavy rain, coastal flooding with big waves and damaging winds, and this thing is not over. we will talk more in 30 minutes. keep your snow boots on guys, we have another 12 to 24 hours of this with more snow on the way. >> you will be a busy man in the next 24 hours. thank you, rob. >>> with the snowflakes blowing sideways, many people are

>> [inaudible] as i read the document, it seemed more like the imposition of the monroe doctrine across not just this hemisphere but across the world and to do so by selling democracy, selling the free-market soft power possible military power if necessary, and the recognition about halfway through this document was this would cost trillions of dollars and people upon whom we are going to impose our values might not like that and there would be significant resistance and at that point there was a single sentence that said absent some catastrophic event s. res. use said two wars played right into -- as you said 9/11 pleaded to the location of the views. how can we tolerate this political movement inside a democracy where they are willing to do just about anything to impose the will on the world? >> i think we did. wiretaps, a whole lot of things, torture, but i want to go back to the document because i think i understand where they were coming from when i read that document they saw a vacuum with the soviet union gone they wanted the united states to be the sole superpower in the world s

[laughter] i am in the opposite role and i believe in and when monroe and i are going to be taking the guns side of this debate. i am pleased to follow keith payne. i believe the points of view and in the talk will help move along the path that he started. let's see if i can get -- yes there a down. don't worry about writing down these references and i now. i have a blowout on your ball point, i will put it back up and get to the q&a. with this list will show some of what i want to cover as in that line of the talk. a little bit about deterrent during the cold war, our transition to what should we do after the cold war, the necessity of the u.s. deterrent. keith and i were both co-authors of that paper when we were members of international security advisory board for state department. lastly, i want to point out that there has been in a recent rain some articles by popular publications the same the importance and the need for nuclear weapons going forward. the first article is one that had an interesting history. admiral hank chiles was the first navy admiral to ever command all u.s. s

let me tell you, i will have a hard time going to my district in monroe county which has gone from 6%ook control of congress in january of 2007 to last month over 20% unemployment. sadly, this is a story that's being repeated all across america. so while the president and his democratic colleagues in congress are trying to remember the words to happy days are here again, the american people are left wondering, where are the jobs and does anyone in washington care about us? i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from washington rise? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. .7 c16 c13 mr. mcdermott: like everyone, i was watching the olympics. who was the most famous person in canada. fame is a fleeting thing. 6 o seconds down the hill. the most famous person in canada by a vote on the c.d.c. was a politician, a baptist minister, from saskatchewan. his name is tommy douglas. tommy douglas in 1947 brought univer
