. >> brown: and mr. barry, is what we're dealing with today all from the aftermath of 1927 or have there been constant fixes, updates and so on? in other words, is this system... has this system mostly been in place all this time? >> well, it's been in place pretty much from the 50s. although the spillway immediately above new orleans which they open early this week, that was first used in' 37. they just finished construction of it. they have made changes. the biggest one would be in 1973. this is probably the second-biggest flood in history. 1927 was the biggest. 1973 was probably third. and '73, when they did... the only other time they opened the morganza floodway, the river was powerful enough that it almost destroyed the control structure that have it was pouring through and they obviously recognized that weakness and buttressed it over another cul structure and strengthened that considerably. that is the main change from the design that came out of the '50s. >> brown: larry larson, we also keep hearing a

mr. chairman, john barry. in the past there have been times when fiscal policy has tightened and the federal reserve has chosen to ease its policy and response partly to the extent of the economy at the time. congress appears intent at this point in cutting spending significantly, might restrain the economy as it appears to be doing in britain where they are following a similar path. is there anything the fed can or should do if indeed there are large budget cuts sometime in the next 18 months? >> first, let me say that addressing the fiscal deficit, particularly the long run unsustainable deficit, is a top priority, and nothing i would want to say would be construed as saying that anything other than a temporary. it is very important that our leaders address this issue. i would say that the cuts that have been made so far don't seem to have had very significant consequences for short-term economic activity. my preference in terms of addressing the long-term deficit is to take a long-term perspective. it's a l

you can't do that barry would have to give a chance before we find out. >> my time has expired. >> i recognize mr. ginter for 5 minutes. >did you pull a number out of the air? >> no, if you look at the paper, we used that as a baseline of 80 basis points and we couched in very careful language. we said this is inaccurate and this is the best we can do given the available evidence. we gave the reader an explanation as to why they should consider multiples of 80 basis points, twice or three times that, based on a lengthy analysis we did in the paper, pages and pages explaining why the cfpb has the powers and the likelihood, particularly in the earlier version of legislation, to increase interest rates. with all due respect, he has produced absolutely nothing on this topic. the notion that we are engaging in this exercise and creating this mess of agency and the best we can get is we will have to see, for me, that is not good enough. >> thank you for that testimony. i would concur that it is not good enough for congress either or it is -- or it shouldn't be. this issue is too important for us to gue
