mr. goodman, you've got a unique perspective on this. you've seen both sides. what's your take? >> thank you, congressman, you're wise to express that concern. looking across the energy spectrum, there are sources of energy, nuclear power, oil and gas and subsidized for a long time. particularly if the price builds in that subsidy, it can't compete without it. then you have the closest thing to eternt life. that's not our vision. our vision is that we will in a relatively short period of time because of the assistance of these loan guarantees which have provided the private sector with some sense of confidence that they can invest in the plant $130 million of private dollars and a plant that is now ready to produce cellulosic ethanol. our scientists believe once we go through this scale up pilot plant to full scale phase will be able to compete head to head with gasoline particularly as we know the price of oil is not headed in the long run down, but up. we think we'll be competitive and we don't think we'll have to be here year after year with the same story. i think we'll have

mr. goodman, seen here to potentially three decades in jail.keating is live outside of the courthouse in west palm beach, florida. phil, what a circus. >> yeah. this is a sensational court case here in palm beach county as you can man, a very wealthy man, founder of the international polo club which is internationally regarded in wellington. he reportedly paid $40 million to the family of the victim already. so that civil case is already done with. but now the juror, dennis demartin, the one who has written this 36-page book called, believing in the truth, is about to walk into this courtroom and be peppered by the judge and roy black has offered several questions for the judge to ask this juror, dennis demartin, basically, demartin is accused of violating blatantly the judge's directive to all of the jurors that they don't conduct any experiments outside of the courtroom, or outside of the deliberations room. that they can only take into that deliberations room witnesses, testimony, and evidence that was gathered during the courtroom. what dem

mr. goodman we don't know what his capacity was.r doing his own kpernl experiment may not be reliable and they don't get to cross-examine and demonstrate it was unreliable. judges frown on this and tell you, no experiments. based on what you hear in the courtroom. >> will it make the verdict moot and they have to start again? >> well, even though i've just said you're dead wrong -- >> i'm right. >> there's a possibility you could be right. because, i'll tell you why. this is a real close call. had he gone home and done a scientific experiment of some kind, the judge would say, no. that's no good, but everybody drinks or a lot of people drink. this is a common experience, and we expect jurors to bring their common experiences into the jury room. and this juror ultimately was saying, three drinks affects the way you drive. most agree. i don't know you would say this is overly prejudicial and maybe in goodman's attorneys are pushing agents too hard pap close question and in the end notwithstanding my insult at the beginning, you're rig

mr. lawless. dr. goodman? as you mention in your testimony, you served on a council of foreign relations staff on u.s. education reform and national security. which concluded that shortfalls in u.s. education raise national security issues. will you please explain how the task force came to that conclusion? >> thank you, mr. chairman. we began with the horrifying statistic which was 75% of our young people today are unqualified or disqualified from military service. that was a number that shocked really all of us. some are unqualified because of their educational background. some because of persistent health problems, and some because of obesity, which we know is a major problem in america. so we tried to zero in on the part of that population that at least we could fix. and that was through education. and what we tried to get agreement on and got a substantial amount of agreement was that america needs a core curriculum as about 20 states and 20 governors have now accepted. what surprised me the most is i tho

mr. lawless. dr. goodman, will you please proceed with your statement? >> thank you, mr. chairman. it was an honor to receive the call from this committee to present some testimony. it's a privilege to serve as president of the institute of international education on behalf of the department of state and the department of defense. but what really captured my attention for this hearing was participation in the council on foreign relations task force. it was chaired by secretary condoleezza rice and former chancellor of the new york city public school system joel klein. it was a very bipartisan and very mixed group. but for higher educator, what really was to me the heart of the recommendation was the call for a national readiness audit. which would help us understand the very things your statement and your questions and this committee have been asking about for a long time. how prepared is the nation and at what levels are we teaching all of our citizens to have proficiency in another language? now, it's easy for us in higher ed and international education to forget just how many of

mr. wallace and dr. goodman, the task force report discussed the reality of cyber espionage against business and government systems. would you explain why foreign language is important to cybersecurity? it's a language so the rest is not english but there's also a huge increase in what we call user generated continents of blogs and other social media sites. so if you want to analyze what's out there, if you want to understand what other people say about u.s. company or about us as a nation, then speak in those languages but also understanding that language in the current context and the context of the culture is absolutely crucial. >> dr. goodman? >> thank you, senator triet as mentioned in his testimony, language conveys value and sometimes conceals intentions. we need people skilled and understanding both. i think to me the same is true in this labour security area. the internet is an english speaking world a lot, not exclusively, and it's being used by people with many different values and different intention

the following: the second-floor shoe department at berdorf goodman in new york and the fifth floor, they granted them the right to organize. mr. president, this is a gigantic leap in 57 -- that differs from 75 years of settled labor law. microunions with any retail establishment, medical establishment or any other type of business prevents cross training, causes discord and is a way to upset an organization that otherwise is not upset. labor law in this country has been settled for a long time. last year 70% of all the union calls in the united states of america passed on their vote. there is not a problem with unions being able to organize but there is a huge problem if we continue to tear down the fire walls that had the playing field level. recently the court twice has thrown out rulings on the national labor relation board, one on ambush elections and on the posting rule where employers were asked to post proorganization posters within their break room and their companies. both time the courts said nlrb reached too far. it is my hope the same thing would happen here again, but in the meantime i want to encourage the senat
