mr. andrews. >> thank you. i thank the witnesses for your testimony. mr. secretary, you indicated that afghan security forces participate in 90% of operations and are in the lead in 40%. what's the difference between being in the lead and participating? >> i'm going to call a little bit on my -- on my uniformed colleague here because he's a lot more accustomed to describing operations than i would say. but i think to me one of the key things when i hook at when i look at reports from my uniformed colleagues on this, when the issue comes to lead, are they lead in planning the operation not just do they lead in carrying it out, but do they have the capacity to plan, do they execute according to plan and then afterwards do they have the capabilities to do an after-action review to see what went wrong, what went right in order to do it the next time better. i'll defer a little bit on that to you, steve. >> general, what would that look like? >> i'll use a very kind of simple analogy of a patrol. a patrol gets a mission and they meet together, the first thing t

mr. andrews, we will go to mr. conway. >> one of the things we were talking about the other day as chart one, trench too, transferee. we need a better way of measuring progress. ineffective all the way to independent and advisor, whatever your skills are -- district by district basis, a way to communicate progress in the transition. in other words, because you said that after the first two, the 50% live in the control of the afghans. in both one and two, and maybe i just misunderstood either way would be helpful in that regard over the last week, we went down to a district and had a presentation on the afghan commander there on the operations of the best we were asked by folks in uniforms that the sky is very present. maybe he was just an interpreter inuit to do. i suspect he was being interpreted correctly, but i came out of that meeting very impressed with this guy. general townsend, the arp, the numbers we are shown for post 2014, in terms of the numbers of security forces -- the money to pay the arp is an estim

mr. andrews: thrau, mr. chairman. i thank my friend for yielding. i glailt my colleague from new jersey and -- congratulate my colleague from new jersey and you, mr. visclosky, for your very diligent and focused work on tpwhill. i know it was difficult. we thank you -- mr. chairman, we thank these members for their leadership. today the people of the united states sent about d 1 billion overseas to countries from whom we bought imported oil. this is $1 billion that could have been spent to employ american construction workers. to give more activities to american research scientists, to reward the investment of american entrepreneurs and create domestic energy and american jobs here in the united states. one of the most effective ways to create a nearly $200 billion annual stimulus program paid for entirely by private sector dollars and not by government would be to dramatically reduce the amount of oil we import into our country. this is an issue on which i think there is strong agreement and we obviously part company on exactly how to do that and i

mr. andrews, my good friend and colleague, pleased to yield two minutes to him, mr. andrews from new jersey. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized for two minutes. mr. andrews: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. andrews: oy thank my friend for yielding -- i thank my friend for yielding. the seeds of this bipartisan agreement were sewn in the other body three or four months ago. i frankly wish these agreements had been brought to this floor a lot sooner, it would have been a lot more good. but i'm glad these agreements are here today. this is a bill that will help create jobs in the transportation sector. it's overdue. . it's a bill that will avoid a bill which will avoid a dramatic doubling of the student a lot interest rates. i want to commend them regarding pension law that helps offset and pay for the provisions in this bill, because it, i believe, will represent a significant investment by businesses around the country and job creation and purchasing of equipment a

mr. andrews, we appreciate that. gentlemen, thank you so much for spending your time with us today. asou can see, we are on the ont end of a vote series, and i want to make sure that we have anpportunity hey ess tan h k,tthele to submit those in writing and ask that you be able to answer those for the committee. and with that, again, thank you for appearing before us. and with that, this hearg is adjourned. naleveio nef av t trtheonatwe ny wig ha ay ate ld grn play in housing finance? >> in reckless endangerment, pulitzer prize-winning new york times columnist gretchen more des gnmsusubsidized homeownership. >> if we want to talk about it and the populace agrees that it's something we should subsidize, then put it on the balance sheet. and make it clear and make it of mit cngdkevodwa thth y enterprises, fannie and fredty mac, when you deliver the subsidy through a public company b with private sharehders and executives who suy hevehat a lot of th t day o subsidizing homeownership. i think we've en the end of that movie in 2008. >> more with gretchen morgenson sunday at 8 on c-span's

mr. andrews. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. andrews: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. andrews: every member of this chamber wants to get to the bottom of the issue of the tragic death of officer terry. and every member of the chamber wants to find out how the a.t.f. and justice department were run as related to that tragedy. so the committee that's looking into this refused to hear the testimony of the person running the ample t.f. and the committee that's lacking -- that's looking into this refused to hear the testimony of the assistant attorney general who was responsible for the a.t.f. and talked about this with attorney general holder. the committee that is responsible for this received thousands of pages of documents from the attorney general to try to get to the bottom of the matter. this procedure does violence to the american constitution. yes, we have three separate branches. those branches are designed to respect each o

mr. andrews: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank my friend for jeeling. chairman church bernanke is on capitol hill today warning if the congress doesn't get the debt and deficit under control we could be facing a fiscal collapse, clam mitt. he's right, and -- calamity. and he's right, and i think one of the ways to avoid this is to move americans from unemployment lines to payrolls. this is another day when the house will not consider legislation that would cut taxes for small businesses that hire people. this is another day when the house will not consider legislation to rehire police officers, firefighters, teachers. this is another day when the house will not consider legislation to rebuild our roads and our bridges and our electronic infrastructure. there is going to come a day when the house, i fear, will consider reductions in medicare, social security, and medicaid to deal with the deficit problem. we need to consider these kind of issues because they are an important part of the deficit. but when we do, i think most members would agree with the p

mr. andrews. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. andrews: i ask unanimous consent to revise and stepped my remarks. i thank my friend for yielding. most americans would agree that would it would be a good idea to put americans back to work. i think most americans would agree doubling interest rates on student loans would be disastrous for people struggling to get a college education. i think most americans would agree that if the other body passed a transportation bill by three-quarters of the members voting for it, republican and democrat, it would be a good idea to take that bill up here. i think most americans would agree that if the democratic and republican leadership in the other body reached an agreement on a way to keep the student loan rates low and not add to the deficit by paying for it, it would be a good idea to bring the bill up here. the unfornt thing for the house and -- the unfortunate thing for the house and the country that the only people not part of that consensus are the republican members of the house of repres

mr. andrews. i would like to turn it over to him for the opening statement he may have. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate the witnesses for their services to the country. i want the record to show i'll never fill mr. cooper's shares. make sure to tell him that. thank you for calling the hearing. a pivotal aspect of our country's aspect -- strategy is for afghans to provide their own security. a pivotal aspect of that goal is the training of the security forces and with all stands. no reflection on today's witnesses, but one reason why it is so timely to call this meeting is that, to two administrations, we have had a long history of unfounded and inaccurate optimism on these questions. i know that the two witnesses are dedicated to telling the facts as they see them. i know the committee is dedicated to hearing the facts as they are. chairman, thank you for this opportunity. >> thank you, mr. andrews. we appreciate your leadership on this issue also. i would like to ask unanimous consent tha

mr. andrew marr. there is one point i would like to deal with. at the bottom of 06609, mr. marr's question suggested that he may have been warned off the line you're taking by colleagues within the labour party. i wasn't quite sure what your answer was to that's question. were you warned privately this was something you should not be doing? >> no, that is that really my recollection. certainly, is the case that what i did was controversial. as it happened, i gave the interview and then i went to the shadow cabinet. it was pretty clear, i would say there's almost universal support of the shadow cabinet that this was at this stage where the opposition really needed to be significantly strengthened and hardened up. i think there was broad support for what i was doing. >> mr. miliband, we have a break for the shorthand writer. will just take back. >> i owe you an apology. i mentioned before and that would raise this at the start of your evidence, but then i admitted to. as many have already correctly observed, your wife is a member of the set of chambers or in joint head. we ha

andrew. good morning, mr. chairman.see this, then, as a problem that is something that can be effectively addressed by the european central bank or is it really something that the fiscal authority has to address on their own? >> well, the central bank is just acting as the fiscal authority. it's got the sovereign credit of the euro where none of the individual countries do. and all of the -- all of the i should say funding of the increasing debts, fiscal problems of a number of the southern european countries is net on balance coming out of the ecb, the european central bank. there is no other source of funding. but at the moment you can continue to expand the ecb balance sheet indefinitely as it appears and, yes, you can solve the short-term problems but these are problems which require either some form of consolidation politically or a belief that you can have an indefinite size in the central bank's balance sheet, which if that's the case, why don't we just eliminate all taxation and all the expenditures you fund by

here is andrew jackson come out of nowhere who simply says, as you can see, mr. adams, i have given my arms to the fair, but i hope you are well served. and he moves on. brilliantly, at this point. he has become the noble loser, and adams becomes somewhat of a sour winter. that would not change until 1828 when jackson won a decisive victory, and endured a remarkable personal tragedy in those intervening months. he had married a 1799 -- he married in 1799 rachel roberts. she was at that point mrs. robards and not ms. donaldson. details, details. [laughter] there was some confusion, as happened in those years. this is not entirely uncommon, about when the divorce was final. jackson mary's rachel. and while it was okay in 1799, it was not so great 30 years later. what had changed, and most important, jackson now had ferocious political enemies that were going to use anything that they could to fight it. she was called a bigamist and a [bleep]. it was said that she was unfit to occupy such a place as the wife of the united states. the cumulative impacts, and we knew
