sarkozy and mr. brown have spoken about iran. i would like to point to a few issues here. iran's activities with respect to the peaceful use of nuclear technology are completely within the framework of iaea rules and under its supervision. today i was quite surprised and i could not understand really whether we are supposed to inform the iaea of our activities or not at the end of the day. according to the regulations that have been laid down, every enrichment facility that is created must within six months before it is infused with gas been known of by the iaea. now, we still have one year left before that six month deadline kicks in. instead of six months, we actually informed the agency 18 months ahead of time. is this the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do? i thought we were supposed to be encouraged for taking this action. i did not know that people should come together and just started voicing out of concern against us. this was the point -- first point i wanted to make. it was completely legal according to the law. the agency will come and take a look and pr

they were shocking, were they not, mr. brown stronger than obama saying these guys have been lying for years and enough is enough and we are going to do something. we don't know what that is i was little taken aback by the tone. >> sarkozy and brown both had very huff tones much tougher than president obama. i thought that was a good sign. let's not kid ourselves we have a very difficult path ahead. october 1 a meeting between the iranians and the permanent members of the united nations security council plus germany. we have united states, britain, and france being very tough on the need for action sanctions. we have the russians being meally mouth saying we need an investigation, iea must get involved immediately. the chinese sitting out there saying let's negotiate and discuss we don't see any need for sanctions. the germans have their elections this fall and merkel is going to be restrained in what she says until those elections are over. bill: now, when you were in the white house dealing with the iranian government, are the

mr. brown: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. brown: thank you, madam president. last week, and i -- i'm thrilled, of course, to join senator kerry and senator dodd and congressman kennedy in honoring patrick's father and the kennedy family in the used to be russell caucus chamber, that caucus room. there's no -- there's no more appropriate place, i believe, to honor senator kennedy than right there. last week in cincinnati, president obama joined thousands of ohioans at the nation's largest labor day picnic. ohioans gathered together to celebrate our history of workers who transitioned our nation from one industry to the next, sustaining our economy, creating the middle class, and strengthening the middle class. it's time once again to invest in our workers. it's time to invest in a national manufacturing policy. as ohioans understand, manufacturing for so many is a ticket to the middle class, and ohioans understand that a strong middle class makes a strong nation. that's why american workers deserve a manufacturing strategy that

. >> brown: mr. price, what is the fear here about creating a kind of trade war with china.what is the potential they have to impose on us? what do you see happening? >> well, there's two concerns. first, could i say i agree with congressman leaven that we need vigorous enforcement. in fact, the bush administration brought i believe it was eight w.t.o.'s cases against china. >> only six of them, dan. when we took over the house. before that, the bush administration sat on its hands in terms of trade relations with china and the rest of the country. and the way they handled 421 was the supreme example. four times the i.t.c.said act. four times the bush administration sat on its hands. what this administration is saying, hands on instead of this hands-off approach. >> brown: come back to where we are right now, mr. price. >> thank you. i think our trading partners not just china are going to look at this with some alarm. as i said-- and the congressman and i can disagree about the facts-- there is no domestic manufacturing capacity that has been impaired. >> that's not true, d

your reaction to what mr. brown just said. >> well, due respect, sir. the defense filed a motion, wanting to raise exactly those questions about some grave miscarriage of justice, and thus his plea apparently should be withdrawn because of the judge's misconduct. what matters is, the judge said, i'll hear you. i believe you. come on, let's have a hearing. come back to this country, and let's have a hearing. and guess who didn't show. that would be mr. polanski. which tells you a lot about whether he really thought he had a case on that score. and, you know, look, the bottom line is, sometimes people do things for political motivation. let's not distract the public from the fact that he pled guilty to raping a child. so all of the shenanigans you allege, you want to make something of that, bring him back, talk about it, but don't forget he admitted his guilt to a very serious crime. none of that other stuff matters. as much as you want to make that a smoke and mirrors game, so that the public doesn't remember what he did to a child, 13 -- he was in his m

but mr. brown will have been cheered by the welcome yesterday as the hall behind me standing on their feet in applause. >> yes, we may be the underdogs, yes, we may be. but if we show the british people that we have not lost the fighting sxeert and appetite for change that is defined this party throughout its history, then we can and will win! and i tell you, conference, we will win for our party. we will win for our party and we will win for our country. and we will win for the british people. that's what we're going to do! >> reporter: he advocated for the clunkers scheme. but we don't know what germany's stance is on that at the moment. we charred from alistair darling yesterday who came out and said we were legislate to try and cap bankers' bonuses. >> in the next few weeks, we will introduce laepgz to end the reckless culture that put short-term profits over long-term success. it will meet an end to automatic bank bonuses year after year. it will mean an end to immediate payouts for top manage

mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. i applaud the remarks of my friend from illinois and his leadership on health care issues and he's one of the people in this institution -- and i wish there were more -- that went home and listened to people and came to the floor of the senate to talk about the stories of people because that's why we're here, and he's -- he represents them very well. that's why he supports this health care plan by the president. that's why he supports the public option and coverage for all and prevention and wellness and all that's in this legislation, insurance company reform that really matters. i thank my friend from illinois. mr. president, tonight president obama addresses the nation just down the hall during a joint session of congress. a president has not addressed a joinsession of congress other in the state of the union -- other than the state of the union address, which comes at the beginning of every year, since president bush did it right after september 11. we know how important this is.

and that mr. brown cannot stand up in public and fight that, obviously.bt that the british government at various stages, by negotiating a prisoner transfer agreement, which was obviously all about megrahi from the beginning, by telling the libyans, as we now know from yesterday's documents, that brown and his foreign minister david miliband did not want megrahi dying in prison. all the signals they sent to the scottish government was, if you were to release him, it's okay with us. >> "new york times" john burns, thank you so much. greatly appreciate it. vicky, let me ask you. do you agree with our assessment that david cameron will be prime minister? >> of course. >> that's a fate acomply. >> i'm still working my sources. they did it for national security reasons. we heard that before. it's a terrible sign. we should not be endorsing terrorism. >> we'll get more of this on the radio, vicky. thank you very much. >>> up next, how does a congressman who writes tax laws forget to pay his own taxes? >> it happens. >> the investigation into charlie rangel next

mr. obama, brown and sarkozy are expected to talk about this and also let the world know about the revelation abouthese nuclear buildups. >> and all of this coming on the heals of the president having tough talk on iran and now here at the g-20 as well, wanting to influence other lead understand respect to iran. and imposing some pressure on them. so one would speculate that this would lend credence to the claims that iran does need to be watched. >> they are expected to demand that tehran will allow the international atomic energy agency to in inspect -- or fully inspect that facility that they again suspect is producing nuclear fuel. we'll hear more about it from the men, but it's supposedly southwest of the capital city of tehran, again hidden from weapons inspectors, but that its united states has actually known of this facility and expected again today to go public with the revelation. >> what is not clear is when this information came to light. it was not addressed as far as we know during the united nations sessions during the last couple of days. and in fact the g 20 is supposed to be

mrs. minniejean brown-tricky.st to provide the briefest background in context, these are recipients of the 43rd medal in 1958, they desegregated little rock high school in 1957, that was a previously all white high school. there was a little resistance when they tried to do that. a mob of irate white citizens formed and the governor of arkansas at that time, called out the arkansas national guard in order to prevent them from desegregating the high school. fortunately president eisenhower overruled the governor, and the 103rd division went to little rock and escorted these people and r the 53rd recipient is a gentleman by the name of andrew jackson young. mr. young has worn many hats in his career, and known in many respects, most originally as perhaps in his ministerial capacity, as an ordained minister, and served as mayor of atlanta, and member of u.s. congress and ambassador of united nations, and he's the 63rd recipient of this award.

mr. steve leisman. dean brown also joins us. good to have all of you with us. steve, just jump in here. bill said a lot of things there. >> but the idea that the long bond could be a bargain at 4.14, jumps off the page at me. in context of the fed minutes which say -- which the staff forecast saying inflation could slow substantially. i went up and looked up the core pce, the fed's version of inflation. it's 1.48. i don't know what they could mean but maybe a point coming out of this? think about what that would mean for the real rate which is how bill and i'm sure zane and dave think about that. he's saying even in light of all the fiscal spending they're going to do, the idea the long bond could be a bargain is a very interesting call. >> what do you think? >> i think the fed staffers are very well informed. they're held in high regard. for them to come out and suggest that at just over 1% core pce that actually inflation is going to decline significantly from that level, really holds out great hope for additional price improvement in bonds. i wouldn't suggest though that the 30-year

brown: thank you very much. thank you, mr. speaker. i know joe wilson, i've worked with him in the halls of this congress in committees and i've traveled with him to iraq. a retired army colonel, all four of his sons followed joe into the military service. in the seven years that i have known him i have never known joe wilson to say an unkind word about anyone. joe is a good and honest man. he's the kind of person who, if he disagrees with you, does it without being disagreeable. just as it was wrong for my democrat colleagues to boo former president bush in this chamber, it was wrong for joe wilson to speak out of turn. the difference is that joe wilson apologized and the president very graciously accepted his apology. every member in this chamber has uttered words they wish they could have said differently. i know joe made this comment out of frustration because there seems to be a large gap between health care rhetoric and reality. what the president said did not match up with the bill that came before the house. this is the same bi

mr. jefferson thomas, and ms. minnie jean brown.hese individuals are recipients of the 43rd award from 1958. they desegregated little rock high school in 1957, which had been previously an all white high school. there was a little resistance when they tried to do that. [laughter] in fact, a model of our great white citizens formed, and governor orville faubus called out the arkansas national guard in order to prevent them from desegregating the high school. fortunately, president dwight eisenhower overruled him and called out an airborne division who went to little rock, escorted these young people into school, and the rest, as they say, is history.
