specifically, mr. gary, you have always been willing to reach out to disparate professions to advance the profession of architecture. what role do you think reaching out to other practices and keeping the boundaries between practices open -- how important do both of you think that is to advancing each of your own professions? >> to reach out to --? >> going way back to jim glymth and katia bringing aerospace into architecture. >> we are doing that and we're sharing it with as many people as we can. we trained him. i think that a real important thing. . >> mr. gary, my husband and i have a personal connection with the piece of land. we have guardened there for 30 years. it has been a community garden known as independence garden. we have batted around, you know what eisenhower want? and i think the first thing we came up with, a putt-putt golf course. he of course loved golfing as anybody old as we are can remember that he was a very avid golfer. this of course is unlikely. but we would -- we would look to p

mr. gary's claim, are not usuallily an integral part of the history of monument. these look more like chain link fences. and there are inscriptions and too large photo murals, all strewn about in a very large space. the result is that the hole is less than the sum of its parts. come po compounding the problem. few successful monuments are this grandiose, especially in our democratic republic where our presidents, some of whom don't even have memorials, are seen as citizens, not super humans. two good examples are jefferson and lincoln memorials. the present scheme for the four acre site of the eisenhower memorial filled with such desperate elements will create confusion and confusion of message. and if realized will resemble an amusement park rather than a memorial. like an amusement park, there is no overall narrative, no sequential story and no central focus to guide visitors, those with limited or no knowledge of president eisenhower. the proposed profusion of enter active displays will be costly, difficult to maintain and fragile. this so-called, quote, evenlg

a theater for the automobile which is how mr. gary describes his design will continue the exodus of inhabitants as soon as they are allowed to leave their workplaces. a design must conform with 1791 la font and mcmillin plans. the fundamental zoning codes for the city and monumental corps. no subsequent zoning plan put together any agency has ever replaced them. the gary plan having gone through the gsa design excellence program has attempted to compromise this rule. the memorial commission and gary intend to redefine what it means to build a memorial, far exceeding congressional mandate. to me this is the most important part in this hearing. we have an accepted rule and either we stick to it or throw it out. if you go this new direction we might as well tear down the lincoln memorial and put a log cabin there. monuments should be built from materials that last centuries. mr. gary does not typically spec this type of material. it's my understanding the gigantic fence is larger than the hollywood sign. in urban environments acid rain,

mr. kildee. plir gary monday, do you have questions? >> jumping into the middle of a controversy is not a good place for us to be. there seems to be a process under way that is an iterative process. ms. eisenhower, you indicated you had a meeting with mr. gehry and you were looking forward to another meeting. from the witnesses it appears as though there's an ongoing process to reach a final design and that a final design has not yet been developed. is that correct? i guess we ask the commission executive officer. >> the submission of a final design proposal has not been made. that is correct. >> so there is still a process under way to develop that fim design and then the engineering drawings, construction and so forth beyond that. some have suggested starting all over. it seems to me that's not likely to be the path taken but rather a path that would -- using the existing gehry design or concepts modify to address the concerns that may exist would be a more productive path. once again, if any of you would like to comment on that, i'd

chairman, i think ann eisenhower wanted to -- >> mr. gary mindy, do you have other rounds of questions that you want to ask? if this is your last question, we'll ask ms. eisenhower to come up and answer. if you have more questions in mind, then wait. ms. eisenhower, would you please questions that you want to ask? >> yes. >> then, if this is your last question, we'll ask miss eisenhower to come up and answer that. if you have more questions you have in mind, then wait. okay. would you just -- actually, miss eisenhower, would you please answer his question now that you're there at the table. >> answer. >> please. >> is this working? i'd like to answer two questions. general riddell said frank gehry has made himself available to us for quite a few times. i'd like to point out for the record that each time we've been approached for this we've been given one-week notice to get all four grandchildren together to other two defaulting to our judgment, the two of us, and we also have very busy schedules, but i would like to answer the question that

mr. dprank gary, who's graciously interacted with members of the eisenhower family. the public debate has demonstrated that the american people overwhelmingly endorsed the memorial, but they are saying it's time to go back to the drawing board and we agree. aside side from all the things that have been said in the press and the internet, we have been inundated as family members with letters about the unset imagine of creating a fitting memorial. given this, mr. chairman, the eisenhower family sees no alternative but to suggest two remedies. one, two redesign the eisenhower memorial and two, to call on the memorial commission to review its staff management and stakeholder policies. first, let me addressed myself to the design. great monuments in our country make simple statements that encapsulate the reason the memorial has been erected in the first place. george washington is remembered as the father of our country. the lincoln memorial declares that he saved the union. the monument to christopher columbus to union station says he gave to man kind a new world. one of

. >> gary blumenthal, war perspectives. mr. ambassador, curious, what is japan doing to recognize the individual workers who made a great personal sacrifice to try and prevent further damage to the rest of the population from the fallout? >> i think you are talking of people who are working in the nuclear site, and also those people worked in the police force, self defense force, fire department people. there are a lot of people who have worked and i think the most -- i should not say, label, but are those workers on the site who have really been there all the time. if they had left it would have been such a disaster. so, i think we should recognize them. i don't know how we can because there are a lot of people. i think maybe their work is going to be done in a group or individual -- i'm sorry, i do not know at this juncture. i say this because this is so difficult. on american side, if i am extending gratitude there are some people up in front but there are a lot of people in the back side who were not seen by us but were on

gary gensler had assured casey i mean how how is someone a former crony you can see who contributed to mr reelection campaign in new jersey and he's supposed to be in charge of regulating it you know a lot of the spin masters from the other side were leaking stories and the rest of the mainstream press are going to get by you guys who are on top of it that the trail has gone cold yeah what i would say to that is if you haven't even taken the bloodhounds out of the kennel how can you say the trails want quote there's been nobody looking after what really happened behind the story again with the one exception of this committee which i'm very grateful for but they are not a court of law they can indict anyone they can't force via clawback or money to come back to us so at some point in time hopefully what we hope is that we can kind of change the investigators in a sense because of these hearings into doing what they should have been doing already five months ago which is actively pursuing this case well let's talk about if anything came out of the hearing yesterday in regard to that because

gary gensler, the chairman of the cftc, has stated publicly that oil speculators now control -- mr. president, i would ask unanimous consent for five additional minutes. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. sanders: gary gensler, the chairman of the cftc, has stated publicly that oil speculators now control over 80% -- over 80% -- of the energy futures market, a figure that has more than doubled over the last decade. in other words, the vast majority of oil on the future -- oil futures market is not controlled by people who actually use the product, not controlled by airlines or trucking companies or fuel dealers, people who actually use the product. but over 80% of the oil futures market is controlled by people, by speculators, whose only function in life is to make as much profit as they can by buying and selling oil futures. let me give you just -- mr. president, let me give you just a few of the oil speculators and how much oil they were trading on june 30, 2008, when the price of oil was over $140 barrel, and gas prices were over $4 a gallon. on that day, g

we'll be talking with gary kasparov in the program about mr. putin going back into power. thanks, everybody. see you a little later. bill? >> let's get to the movers and shakers this friday. so far brian shactman is here. >> now we're down -- tripled the losses, down 14 points. we obviously are more negative than positive. only one stock up more than 1%, at&t. i guess that restriction on data and slow on the system is a net positive. you have caterpillar down more than 1%. you have ge down close to it, below $19 a share. i want to take a look at the sector heat map quickly to see how that -- basically telecom has been up all day and utilities have been positive in the last little bit. energy is by far the laggard, double the decline of industrials. let's look at a couple names there. weakest names are alpha natural and pea body. you have alpha natural down 14.5% for the year. coal, a little out of favor. pea body down a quarter of a percent for the year. energy up 6%. big lots, discounter over discounts, it hurts, and the stock gets sold off. on the russell 2000, micro ele

mr. van buren's specific case or any other employee except to say the claims of retaliation in this case are without merit. gary nurenberg, 9news now. >>> an update now on a story you saw first on 9. a local priest who denied communion to a woman at his mother's funeral said he did it because she openly introduced another woman to him as her lover. the father says barbara johnson openly confessed her sin so he withheld the communion. she forced the issue on him just moments before the funeral. now, she says he is lying and she never introduced her partner, let alone called the woman her lover. he has been placed on administrative leave. >>> a new anti-smoking ad campaign is getting ready to launch nationwide. and when it does, it should raise a few eyebrows and perhaps even turn a few stomachs. and that's exactly what it's intended to do. matt jablow has details. >> i'm going to get ready in the morning. >> reporter: get ready to see a lot of terry hall whose long time smoking habit led to cancer of the larynx. >> my fingers started to go piece by piece. >> reporter: roosevelt smith is about to have his 15 minu

mr. chairman. did you have the opportunity to speak to gary dinsmoor prior to mfg de spurring bankruptcy? in your opinion, where his priorities protecting customer funds or making sure the company was sold to the broker-dealers? >> my conversations with mr. dinsmoor work related to the topics. he was very focused on the customer funds, and he along with his colleagues wanted an update on where we were in concluding the sales. >> let me also ask you to your knowledge was mr. courts line in contact with mr. prior to mfg declaring bankruptcy? >> i assume you were talking about the last dates? >> i am not aware they had any discussions. >> so there wasn't any conversation of his conversation with mr. dinsmoor? >> that is correct to the best of my recollection. he may or may not have been, i am not sure, on a call with a large number of regulators at 2:00 on saturday afternoon with many regulators and i do not know if he was on that call. >> what may ask another question. if we go back to june of 2011, concerned about mf global european debt exposure and it got directed to increase its capital

mr. blank finde the chief executive and gary cohen, the president. i think they've got to get out there and make the case of why goldman does add value for its clients. and to be fair, i got e-mails from a lot of clients of goldman saying they've always served them well and goldman has its adhernts and loyalists on wall street but i think they've got to make that case. host: our guest is with us to talk about goldman sachs, the incident this week, the larger issue of ethics practices at banks. if you want to ask them questions here's your chance to do so. the numbers are on the bottom of the screen. so would you say that when it comes to mr. blank fine's leadership at the organization, is it coming to an end soon? guest: that's a really tough one to say. he's been in the job since 2006 when he took over for henry paulson who went on to be treasury secretary. so he beens in there six years. i think the average c.e.o. is something around seven years. so he's certainly been in there a little while. on the other hand he's very, very respected on wall str

gary on at least three prior occasions. it appears in 2008 the commission designated daniel file its executive architect, as its agent to oversee and direct the design competition. mr. file chose to run the competition under the guidelines of gsa's design excellence program, a program that was never intended to be used for memorial competitions. it basically limits the candidates to only 44 hand picked firms. thus the use of the design excellence program made it impossible to see unknown and untested talent such as maya lin who designed the vietnam veteran's memorial. in the 1990s the initial competition for the world war ii memorial was run according to e. there was a public outcry about the design and it was changed. adding to our concerns, when the eisenhower commission recently released the minutes from its meetings, it didn't publish minutes from meetings in 2008 at which the competition was discussed. stranger still there does not appear to have been a quorum at those crucial meetings. what exactly is in those missing minutes and why has the commission not released material submitted by competition entrants. the commission's commemorative cost $2 million and

mr. speaker, in connection with the national hockey league and for the first time there's been a commitment that has been made. part of the proceeds will be matched with commitments that will, with gary bettman, the commissioner of the national hockey league, to support scholarships now for the thorough good marshall scholarship fund, to the college fund they will help support four-year scholarships to one of the historically 47 public historically black colleges and university for inner city youth. so we're excited grateful to be part of it. i yield to my friend, mr. quigley. >> thank you, mr. speak speaker. i want to thank the lobbyists for the game. nick louis who helped organize this. the game did get a little chippy, that's true. no connection with the loib and reform measure that we're putting out tomorrow. i want to thank the staff who helped carry this older team of guys, our captain over here, for helping us win this game and bring back the cup and beat back the evil horde. thanks to everyone. >> the evil horde, of course, those lobbyists and you heard them mention to the thorough good marshall fund. the money raised was the fourth annual hockey challenge. senator john kerry

the then police chief gary mccarthy knew why the nypd was there and two people from his department were re-signed as liaisons under a broad terrorism program. he knew. perhaps, mrhy did not tell the people he was working with, politicians who are now able to say, we are shocked there is this going on. you have a communication failure within new jersey. nypd did what it had to do. there has been cooperation between new jersey and new york because many of the people arrested in terrorist plots came from new jersey. so of those 14 plots that have been intercepted, many have been detected without help from new jersey. >> when you say communication problems, that goes back to 9/11. we know the c.i.a. and f.b.i. were not communicating and law enforcement -- all these law enforcement entities have their own turfs and that is the problem. when i hear that word, alarm bells go off. >> i was concerned about the politization with it when the attorney general seems to be talking and very unprofessional. in every administration i've been part of, no one would come out, i ready few things in some newspapers -- >> that is exactly it. >> i have to tell you worse than because n
