burgess, who took a small height friss the other special orders, is here with a brainful of information, mr. speaker, for to you absorb and pass along to our colleagues. i'd be very happy to yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from texas, dr. burgess. mr. burgess: i thank the gentleman for yielding and the gentleman has done an excellent job at delineating where we've been, what's been happening and perhaps where we're going. you know, this summer was truly a remarkable tinal in drn time in this country when the people -- time in this country when the people, the beauty of anticipatory democracy was on dispray literally from sea to shining sea from border to border and i certainly felt it in my district. i know it was felt in a number of congressional districts. we've seen the results of that. the gentleman's quite correct, the blue dogs who were so active during the summer months leading up to the august recess have really been under enormous pressure by their leadership on their side and now we've seen in the past several days, i think by my count, four retirements from

mr. burgess. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i agree with the gentlelady's previous statement the fight against cancer knows no ideological or partisan lines, and certainly doctors will be testifying before us today would agree that it is a disease, cancer is a disease all americans fear and one that is all too often very close to home. we have learned in this committee cancer is a complex disease, still has no cure but efforts geared toward prevention, really detection and treatment have made significant gains. we start their because as we embark upon this hearing we must remember not to embrace policies that would undo the success we enjoyed. i agree we should not meet this partisan but the 2,000 page to rely in the room is the bill this house passed two weeks ago and if things were just to stay as they are now the task force recommendations would be recommendations doctors agree to accept or reject them. but what we have written the legislative language me take some of that freedom away from doctors and take some of that free

mr. burgess, you are over two minutes over. >> it doesn't strike me -- >> mr. burgess. >> again, as a young -- >> doctor burgess. your time has expired. >> i'll be interested in what some of the other clinicians tell us. i thank the chairman. >> doctor burgess you are almost three minutes over and we are about -- i think we have time for one more set of questions. and then we're going to vote. we have five votes. we will take one more set of questions and then we will adjourn and come back after the five votes. next is chairman dingell, did you want to proceed in a? >> i think i can proceed rather quickly, mr. chairman. yes, please. i would like to welcome you both just me and say how helpful it is to have you here. from the things i've heard said on the other side of the aisle about you folks at the agency, i was afraid you would appear with horns, tales, fangs and in a red suit breathing fire. demanding that we immediately terminate all health benefits through the unfortunate segue war and especially with regard to mammograms and pap smears. so i'm very much c

mr. burgess: thank you, mr. speaker. the silence of the administration and indeed the house of representatives on the subject of a senior presidential appointee to the department of education is astonishing. kevin jennings needs to be replaced and needs to be replaced today. this so-called safe school czar appointed by the obama administration to the department of education is dangerous for our schoolchildren. the editorial in yesterday's "washington times" title "obama's risky sex czar." i don't know if they came with a bolden warning just like a new f.d.a. drug. this editorial discuss discussions that are sexually graphic. under usual circumstances we would not have this subject or the language involved. in this case an unusual exception must be made because this is central to the background of a senior presidential appointee in the united states department of education who is in a position to influence how and what our children are taught in our nation's schools. please do not read any further if you will be offended
