somebody i introduced in the beginning, mr. dan murphy whose son was killed in afghanistan. dan, would you like to add anything?e keeping the memory of your son alive. >> thank you. i'm in a lot different position than most. i have three living recipients here. i not only lost my son, but he also lost most of his s.e.a.l.s team. so i see things from a different perspective. what i can tell you and what i notice in my time dealing with others that have received the medal of honor, whether posthumously or alive, not just their courage, but the fact that like michael, they all thought something higher than just of themselves. they thought of others, and that their overriding principle was not so much what happened to them but what was happening to their men, and i think that's kind of the perspective that i bring. i know what mike did and why he did it, and i get a better perspective, understanding what these three men and why they did what they did. [ applause ] >> well, ladies and gentlemen, i think we'll wrap it up now. thank you for asking that question. added great dimensi

. >> mr. dan helsinger who is a son tractor with helsinger builders in san francisco and does lots of construction work ask can help us address our questions today. >> i think as we get started the topic of today's talk is how to plan a home remodel. we want to talk about how to plan a successful home remodel. it's easy to do a home remodel and easy to have an unsuccessful one. most people are strezed out by their home remodel work? >> people do get stressed out, dan, don't you find. >> what is successful home remodeling. for me and you it's to do it in such a way it achieves on something what your anticipated project looks at the end and keeps your life in a manageable, low stress situation. what makes it successful? okay. reducing stress what else makes a remodel less stressful harvey? >> reduce stress but what make its successful is when you end up with something that makes your living situation something better than it was before. >> i'm surprised how wonderful this remodel is! >> exactly. >>

mr. danepa, saying they have no jurisdiction over this matter but you believe putting the onus on epa is the way to go or should you follow the suit of hunters and states that already banned led and using nontoxic bullets? >> well, let me first respond saying mr. keane and i really should be on the same side of the table. i buy a duck stamp every year. i'm a member of duckses unlimited. i'm a trustee emeritus of the nature conservancy, and they permit hunting on many of its reserves. ducks unlimited with tnc has done more than anyone to preserve and save habitat. we're not against hunting. we encourage hunting. we simply are saying hunting should be responsible and spewing lead, the most toxic, possible material into the environment doesn't accomplish that. arthel: having said that, what would you like the epa to do about that? >> well the epa clearly has authority under the act. if you read the legislative history of the law that toxic control substances law which bans them regulating ammuni

. >> mr. dan. >> madam chairman. madam ambassador, good to be with you. just following up on representative cole's comments, i was one of the few folks on my side of the aisle to support the administration's retroactive action in libya on the house floor. i thought it was the correct thing to do. obviously, i had some questions about how we conducted the operation but i thought it was the right thing to do. but in that situation we had u.n. support obviously, nato support, arab league support. and that's important. but with respect to syria we don't have u.n. support quite clearly. and it seems to me that as long as the russians and chinese have a seat at the security council table they're going to veto anything that comes up on syria that's meaningful. i guess the real question is if we really want to -- if we really want to make an impact on the iranians, certainly undermining the assad regime is very important. and at what point do we show the same resolve to the friends of syria that the russians have shown to the assad regime? it's quite clear to me

mr. daniel hanson. dan served in iraq then came home troubled in mind trying to cope with the loss of so many of his fellow marines. this is a story i hope everyone listens to closely today. it's a cautionary tale of where we may be inadvertently headed. looking back, dan has some interesting thoughts of what would -- it would have taken him to get into treatment sooner. it's just as important. he's got something to say about how he ultimately found help outside the va system. on our second panel we have dr. sally satele resident scholar at the american enterprise institute. dr. satele will share with us the principles surrounding what she believes would be a more effective system of care and compensation for veterans seeking mental health treatment. as i mentioned, we also have the former chairman of the veterans disability benefits commission with us, general terry scott. we also have a va clinician, dr. karen seal, who will share with us her findings on health care utilization of iraq and afghanistan vet

person who served with don for quite a while on the foreign affairs committee, chairman dan burton of indiana. mr. burton: i thank the gentlelady for yielding. you know, we judge as congressmen, our colleagues based upon their ability and how hard they work, but the thing i liked about don payne as a colleague with whom i worked for 24 years on the foreign affairs committee was he was a nice guy. he was really a nice guy. even when we had our differences, and there were many, when we served on the africa subcommittee together, we would debate and then we walked together down the hall and talk as friends and still discuss our differences but we did it in such a friendly way, and i really liked the guy. you know, one of the things i think so important is we really don't get to know each other too much in this place. you have 435 of us and people come who are wealthy and some who are very poor. some who came from bad beginnings and tough beginnings and some who came from the top, and we don't get to know each other very well. but i know don payne because i knew don payne because he worked so hard fo

joining us tonight is dan gross, president of the brady campaign to prevent gun violence. mr., good to have you with us tonight. did this law set the table in some way for george zimmerman to go hunting for trayvon martin? >> i think that's exactly what it did, it set the table. it is a bad law if if it lets murderers walk awayne way uncharged. as bad as it is as a law it is just as dangerous as a state of mind and it is a state of mind that permits and encourages things like this to happen. when you combine that state of mind with florida's incredibly weak gun laws in general, it's a recipe for tragedies like this to happen. >> you have said in this case that the nra, this is the nra's vision for america. what do you mean by that? >> that's precisely what it is. the nra's utopia is a place where anybody can get a gun and carry it virtually anywhere. this is -- and what we are seeing in florida, tragedies like this, are the manifestation of what happens in the nra's utopia. it is two different visions of america, the vision that the people have that want to protect themselves,
