parents, lola and douglas moore, and if i lessia's brother, christopher. chairman miller heard their heartbreaking story. the legislation we have before us today is a testament to his leadership and his christmas -- compassion. i also want to acknowledge the role played by secretary of education, arne duncan, he also personally met with the moores and he and his staff suggested several important improvements to the bill. i'm deeply grateful tortoise -- for his personal involvement. i would also like to thank ranking member, conman mckeon, and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, for their bipartisan support of this very important legislation. i'd also like to recognize and express my gratitude for the endorsements of the national parent-teacher association, the national education association and the national school boards association for this important bill. phylicia's law bears the name of a young woman from my district who was taken from us much too soon. phylicia moore was an 18-year-old high school student from new jersey who died in april, 20

i think the tribute to phylicia moore is well deserved. sounds like a wonderful young lay dism there's no way there could be adequate compensation or action to lessen the hurt adequately of those who loved her. and suffered from her loss. but here again, this would usurp further what the previous administration did in dictating local policy and i understand the amendment now simply requires that a policy be put in place, and that's better, but we know in days ahead how that normally works, then someone else more se louse comes forward and said, and the policy must include this, and this, and there. so i still believe the best school control is local control, state control, and holding school board members responsible to the local electorate. i would support any tribute to phylicia moore and to the efforts this wonderful young lady was trying to exert on behalf of others, but i would oppose another dictation from washington on what a local school board must do. let's keep that control back in the local school board and i see my friend from

moore: mr. chairman, i have an amendment at the desk and i would like it -- i request its immediate consideration. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 14 printed in part c of house report 111-143 offered by ms. moore of wisconsin. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 522, the gentlewoman from wisconsin, ms. moore, and a member opposed, auto letch control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from wisconsin. ms. moore: mr. chairman, i yield myself three minutes. thank you, mr. chairman. i rise today to urge a yes vote on my amendment to the foreign relations authorization. this is a time of unprecedented change in our outreach efforts to our global neighbors. and this authorization will help guide that path for the upcoming year. and i would therefore really like to thank the committee for their hard work. and i would also like to thank my very good friend, congresswoman maloney of new york for being a leader and steadfast advocate for th

moore of wisconsin. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 552, the gentlewoman from wisconsin, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from wisconsin. ms. moore: my amendment increases funding for critical program, the violence against women act legal assistance program by $4 million. i would like to thank representative poe for his diligent work on this amendment and i also want to thank representative mollohan for his commitment on this issue as well. we all make lawyer jokes, but to the women who face domestic violence and need legal representation to successfully flee their abusers, obtain orders of protection, and retain custody of their children, the lack of legal representation is definitely not a laughing matter. nearly 70% of women who bravely take their abusers to court do so without legal representation. and too often, having an attorney present is the deciding factor in obtaining that life-saving personal protection order or getting custody

representative moore had questions, as did the govern i don't have -- governor of wisconsin. they said, what are you talking about? you told us you weren't going to close kenosha. mr. nardelli sent a letter of apologies. i want to begin my expressing my apologies. he goes on to say that in response to congresswoman moore's question about kenosha, i mistakenly answered about the plant in trenton, michigan. trenton, michigan, doesn't sound like deke know shah, wisconsin, to me, and not only are they not a sound-alike, but they're in different states. the speaker pro tempore: so ordered. mr. latourette: oh, mr. speaker, i apoll jismse the other thing that occurred, you may remember, mr. speaker, that the u.a.w., the united auto workers were asked to enter into a new contract, gave up benefits, gave up wages, gave up off days, but they were told if they supported this new contract, that was going to lead to a new, vibrant chrysler where their jobs would be secure. they voted on april 28, all the chrysler workers went to the polls on april 28, to say whether or not they approved o

moore, for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. moore: i commend chairman waxman that will help the country make a transition to a new clean energy economy. i urge members to vote in support of the underlying bill. americans are demanding bold policies that will push our country in a new direction on energy and secure a clean energy future for america. this is a positive step forward, but i urge chairman waxman's leadership to strengthen the renewable electricity standard during the conference committee. a strong standard would mean more jobs in the united states and a larger share in domestic clean energy. our children and grandchildren are watching. if we don't take the step to leave them with a world more healthy and secure, when will we. i urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this legislation. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas. . mr. barton: i reserve at this time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california. mr. waxman: i yield to the ge

acting chairman moore has said that we need to wait till the commission is fully formed to collectively make decisions and i am a collaborator. i want the input of my fellow commissioners as well as the staff and also in conversation with you to talk about can we go ahead and implement some areas of the law or will there be areas that are unclear. as soon as we can get guidance clear. as soon as we can get guidance and regulations in place, industry will not what to do. i know there are some areas like tracking labels that industry is wondering what are we going to do about this? as soon as we can get guidance in place in all these areas working with industry and consumers their concerns are heard, the less i believe you will hear here in the senate about the law. >> can i ask you one other question and that is the use of stays of enforcement where you have found that a business needs more time to comply with the law. do you think the stays of enforcement are sufficient or do you think we need to revisit maybe that area of the law to give more flexibility again when a business does need

moore: mr. speaker, i want to thank chairman berman for working with me so closely to include provisions in h.r. 1886 to ensure that the empowerment and protection of -- and human rights of women are an important purpose for our aid to pakistan. and to help address the high rate of maternal mortality in pakistan. as secretary of state clinton noted earlier this year. -- earlier this year, the status of women and girls is a key indicator of whether or not progress is even possible in a society. we simply can't solve the global problems confronting us from the worldwide financial crisis to the risk of climate change, chronic hunger, disease, poverty, when the energies and talents of hundreds of millions of people, half the world's population is left behind, according to the world health organization, maternal mortality is an indicator of disparity and inequity between men and women and reflects a woman's so-called place in society. and their ultimate access to social health and nutritional service

i am steve moore. it is great to see so many friends here. first of all thank you to dezenhall and my friend for helping to set this up. i appreciate your hospitality and it is great to see so many supply-siders here. we are kind of a dwindling group these days so it is nice to see mark blumfield, the people call mr. capital gains, the guy who has been so irresponsible for so many of the great policy changes. you were back here in 1978, right? [inaudible] he is responsible for the 1923-- and jimmy p from u.s. news who is a good friend and is one of the top leading writers on the economic space. >> how do you pronounces last name? >> i an not even going to try. leagis call him jimmy p. i'm going to talk for a few minutes about how the book came into being and by the way, my good friend is here who is one of the great biographers of ronald reagan. when is your new book coming out on reagan? september. he wrote a great book on the 76 reagan campaign and has a book coming out that i can't wait to read about 1980. reagan is a central figure to our

even further back, sir thomas moore was virtually my age when he became speaker, though frankly his rather sticky end does not fill me with encouragement. but then, again, he is the only member of this house fer to have been cannonized. my own preference is, however, for success in this world rather than in the next. i do not want to be someone. i want to do something. working with colleagues, i want to implement an agenda for reform, for renewal, for revitalization. and for the reassertion of the core values of this great institution in the context of the 21st century. that selection is being held at this moment testifies to the turmoil which is engulfing this place and to the crisis of confidence in parliamentarians themselves. unless and until we can move the debate on from sleeze and second homes to the future of this house, we shall remain in deep trouble. a legislature cannot be effective while suffering from public scorn. so a strong command of irsic and mays is far from adequate that i'm confident in four years service has equipped me to cope with our over mysterious procedures. th

i had a student at penn state that complained about being shown michael moore's "sicko" in french class. here's a sample indoctrination course. at the university of california, santa cruz is a course which is described in the official university catalog in these exact words. the goal of this seminar is to learn how to organize a revolution. and then it tells you it is an anticapitalist revolution. now the subject of revolution is totally appropriate for an academic setting if it is taught the approach is academic. that is what is a revolution and as it happens there are people that have different definitions what a revolution is. in fact there was a book written the anatomy of revolution which explores these perspectives. so then you would say, you know, what kind of revolutions have there been because the french revolution was different from the american revolution and the american force was the bolshevik revolution. then he would ask what kind of advances or what benefits have there been from revolutions. obviously the american revolution had a lot of benefits. and then you would ask

in fact, this amendment is co-sponsored by dennis moore, my democratic colleague from kansas. and homeland security committee chairman benny tellson was very helpful in -- thompson was very helpful in crafting this amendment. i express my appreciation to you. also the ranking member, peter king, and to the ranking member of the subcommittee, charlie dent. also to the chairman of the subcommittee, ms. sheila jackson lee. they and the homeland security committee were most helpful. mr. chairman, often as we go through the airports of america we and our constituents see members of the military passing through those airports, many of them are going to iraq and afghanistan. they are leaving their loved ones. facing sometimes an uncertain future. others are coming in from iraq and afghanistan going home to see loved ones. sometimes they hadn't seen them for over a year. they are often loaded down with heavy gear. now, also at the same time we see the registered travelers who we talked about earlier, we see united premium members, we see delta platinum members and gold medallion membe

like 20 weeks after it hit the charts, 20 weeks and five months, and only if i came on with michael moore. .. transferred to the west bank. some have gone into egypt but what we do know is that there are a great numbers who have been tortured. there were 181 fatah members listed by both, you know, human rights organizations and the fatah factions itself that were killed or injured. and we continue to see that people are being pulled off the streets. they will have their mustaches shaved, their heads shaves, broken legs and indications of torture and fatah members along with christians and other minorities in gaza express their concern of their safety. >> and in response to the rocket missile attacks. what about the other way around? a hamas member in the west bank is he in as much danger? >> absolutely. that's one of the things that has been unreported. right now we see the united states putting all of its legs in one basket saying that fatah is the peaceful alternative to hamas which is, of course, you know, cast here in the united states as an islamist suicide bombing that continues to

seen it in a french class or i had a student at penn state that complained about being shown michael moore's sicko in a french language class. the chairman of the department thought that was perfectly appropriate. here's a sample indoctrination course. at the university of california santa cruz is a course which is described in the official university catalog in these exact words. the goal of this seminar is to learn how to organize a revolution. and then it tells you what's an anti-capitalist revolution. now, the subject of revolution is perfectly appropriate for an academic setting, if it's taught -- if the approach is academic, that is, what is a revolution? and as it happens, there are very -- people have different definitions of what a revolution is. in fact, crane britain wrote a book called "the anatomy of revolution" which explores these perspectives. so then you would say, ask, you know, what kinds of revolutions have there been, because of the french revolution was very different from the american revolution and the american of course from the bow bowl show vk revolution. and then

[laughter] >> stay away from from business people. i think the key to, if we are taking on managers at virgin, what we look for is people who are great motivators of people, people who look for the best in people, people who praise and don't criticize, and if you can find those kinds of people, you have a happy company. and do we look for entrepreneurs? i don't believe in competition and so we don't look for them.

that you think of everything relative to trade and commerce as well as other thing she wrote, the mooring before she afforded her own recommendations. she proposed that congress plays an excise tax on spirits liquors that would be equal among all the states. currently she pointed out of new england carry a heavier surcharge than others, which damaged their trade. sensing then perhaps that she was on a roll, abigail next introduced the topic that the delegates had purposefully avoided. i have sometimes been ready to think, and she backed into were subject before delivering her blow, that the passion for liberty cannot be equally strong in the of those who have been accustomed to deprive their fellow creatures. artfully proposing her comments in the conditional form, she then stepped audaciously in to the hornets' nest of slavery that congress had cautiously avoided in order to maintain unity among the states while engaging in the war for independence. the one topic that would certainly spell the end of cooperation between the southern and northern states was slavery. abigail, however, remi

they act as a mooring post for tendons that support the animal's:head. the honda gives the buffalo its distinctive look, it's front heavy, bulldozer, shouldered appearance. i have been doing this for several days and i can eat all i want. i bring the high in place to keep the carcass from breathing too solidly. there is an orange color not like the bag you see on the. wild plants are rich, the same substance in care. the heat of a fire liquefies the fat and leaves it floating in the oil of my hand. hard candy and all the wrappers came to the surface. whenever it becomes rendered out, i picked it out and blow on it until it is cool and crispy. the film canisters full of the tape. when i was crossing a river or standing in the rain or snow, the salt got wet. escaped a chunk out and grind it into the greens between my fingers. with a bit of salt, it tastes like pork rind but much better, it tastes milder. so begins the story. 2 primary threads, what i spent looking for dessert. you will see on this image, it happens right where you see the fog come down to

because, you see, moore is just a word for many people. but if you go to such a country, if you realize what war is, when i went to baghdad two weeks ago i wanted to see a little iraqi girl. she lived in the poorest neighborhoods of sadr city in baghdad. she was 13 and on the seventh of april, her house was bombarded and she lost her little sister and she lost one leg. she's a beautiful girl. i brought her back to munich. she got a new prosthesis, a good prosthesis, the best one. and then she got another prosthesis just six months ago, and i wanted to see her because i bought them, her family at little house. a very poorhouse. and i saw this girl. she is now 19. and i thought i would see wonderful, splendid, wonderful iraqi girl. 19 years old. i found a girl who looked like 10. she was something into herself, helpless, a girl who knows that she has no perspective. and that is what war is all about. and therefore i have read this book just to tell the story of the people who suffer from these crazy wars. and therefore you can help me. you c

and i had john moore in the family world. and there's also a difference of interpretation. my background is i'm a feminist caller, i'm a scholar of women, i'm a historian of women. and it is most important to me that we understand that women were part of the historical past. and so much emphasis on abigail and on what women do and on the daily events in women's lives is recorded in this book in a way that it isn't in a biography of john adams. yes, sir. >> from what i understand, i watched the documentary on john adams on public tv. it sounded like jefferson plates and dirty tricks so he wouldn't get elected, so jefferson would. and i was wondering, i imagine that abigail played a big role in supporting her husband. did you find out much about that? >> yes, i know about that election. and the fact of the matter is that's correct. we came to think that we live in the age of dirty politics. and bad journalism. it was nothing like that age, or if anything, it is not worse now than it was then. politics was played in this country from the beginning, and journalism was dirty fro

general moore where justice scalia decided the case 9-0. so if this legislative body, if the united states senate votes 98-0 in favor of renewing the voting rights act, relying upon the extensive record which i have cited, that's not a sign of weakness. that's not a sign that the senate doesn't know what it's doing with a 98-0 vote. so the questions which i have posed for judge sotomayor are these: would you apply the justice harlan rational base standard or the congruent and proportionality standard? what are your views on justice scalia's skarbgtization that the -- quote -- "congruence and proportionality standard is a flabby test and an invitation to judicial arrest by trarryness and policy -- arbitrariness and policy-driven decision making where justice scalia says that is a standard which is so vague? third, do you agree with chief justice rehnquist's conclusion that the violence against women legislation was unconstitutional because of congress's method of reasoning? fourth, do you agree with the division of constitutional authority b

dustin was the mvp last year and justin moore turned out to be an excellent first baseman. none made an early impact. matt has struggled in his first big league week and wyatters obviously when you look at this you have to say to yourself what may he be doing a little wrong or are they ganging up on him? >> >> he's not doing anything wrong. everybody knows what he's done in the minor leagues so far. 32 home runs. the rbis, all that kind of stuff. he's a full package player. if you don't think this guy's going to hit, then you know nothing about baseball. he will be a hitter and a switch hitter, he will hit for power and eventually it will all work out. the more attention you draw to him the tougher opposing teams are going to be against him. they're not going to give fastballs to hit and 2-2 counts or change ups. any time there's somebody in scoring position they'll never give him a pitch he can pull because sooner or later he'll relax. they'll let up on him a little bit, they'll throw him a fastball or cut fastball or slider in a situation where he'll hit a double and the

moore religious or more conservative and her religion than john but both of them were religious people and respectful of that and out of that came a value system that was unique to their generation. a value system that confirmed the difference between right and wrong and what was good and what was bad, and out of that still further came to believe that people had -- people had to give of themselves. they had to serve their family, they had to serve their community, they had to serve the nation and both of them believed that. the idea of service. i've called it by the 18th-century term duty in the book. they had a sense of duty and it was that sense of duty that made john served the nation and the sense of duty they both had. it was like a calling, a kind of providence in religious terms that said people existed for the purpose of doing service to the community and the nation and that was very clearly a part of their patriotism. a major part of the patriotism. the impulse for the patriotism. both of them also have more tolerant of each other and they gave each other space to grow. in th

taking their word for canada -- would you take michael moore's word for canada, or should we look at the thing objectively? guest: i have never taken money from insurance companies, but kaiser foundation has been a big advocate of the single-payer plan in connection with "usa today" and abc. they argued that while most people were probably satisfied that 44% were only satisfied with the system as a whole and evidence for the type of change michael and others had been advocating. you know, i think it is so easy to claim nirvana for these types of things. if we had the experts go in there and tell everyone how to run things -- it is easy to say things will be better. the problem is, we have a certain system for we can make people competitively do things. they are more imaginative and figure out how to do things better. there is the reason why you do not see this cost inflation for dentistry or other types of services like plastic surgery for the government does not get involved as much. this not provide the type of coverage. i think government involvement has a lot to do with higher pr

to her right is judge karen nelson moore of the sixth circuit, who was appointed to that court by president clinton in 1995. obviously there is much more i could say about each of them, and when they speak, maybe they could bring in relevant parts of their background. to her right is the judge appointed to the d.c. circuit by president clinton. so his right is judge j. harvey wilkinson, who was appointed by president ronald reagan to the fourth circuit in 1984, which i guess makes you the senior -- no, judge ryan heart. to judge wilkinson's right was is judge -- a judge who brings a scourt perspective. >> last but not leeth, judge reinhart who was appointed by president carter in 199. to plunge in and taking them in that order, i wanted to get people talking about the topic of improving the courts. what are the major challenges facing your circuit? i would like to bring out the fact that, just like not all judges are the same, not all circuits are the same. they face different kinds of problems. sketch out for us what are some of the major challenges, problems, aspirations of life on your o
