mr. jordan. [applause] >> thanks very much for that kind introduction and thanks to the national world war ii museum for allowing me to come out for a few minutes and share some more stories about three of america's most impressive soldiers. the title of the book is "brother, rivals, victors". that title, those three words are the only part of the book that were not revised, cut out, taken out, put back in, and excise since i put pen to paper back in 2006. the reason the title alone survives five years of editorial bloodletting is because those three words, "brother, rivals, victors," to meet some up a partnership of three american generals who produced one of the most extraordinary results in our nation's history. with that i would like to spend a few minutes sharing stories about the brotherhood, rivalry and ultimately the victory in western europe that was eisenhower, bradley and patton. the brotherhood began almost a century ago this summer in august of 1911. and the united states military ac

mr. jordan: move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. jordan: first, i want to thank the committee and in particular the chairman of the subcommittee for the good work he has done on the bill overall, but i support the gentleman's amendment. any member of congress can do this. you ask my group talking to, giving any speech and you say, do you think there is a little duplication or overlap in the federal government and the audience begins to laugh because they get the joke. we just had a hearing in subcommittee of oversight dealing with regulation and overspending and the g.a.o. was in there and they had done a stud and we asked them how many programs are there? and they said well, we can't give you a number because we can't tell. but there are over 100. they couldn't even tell us. but what they did tell us, there is a lot of duplication and overlap and the gentleman from utah's amendment seeks to deal with it. yes, there is redundancy. we are broke and we have to cut spending like every single family and small business has had to do. reme

over 3 months i hand typed 580 letters and wrote dollar michael jordan and dear mr. stalone. guess what happened? nothing. at christmas i got a check from tom brocaw for a hundred dollars. i sold my car a buick for 500 dollars in a seedy area in oakland. by spring i raised 200 dollars. my marth was a principal at an elementary school. she invited me to talk to the kids. when i was leaving a fourth grader looked me in the eye and said, i have a piggy bank at home and i will help you raise money for the school in pakistan. i didn't think anything of it. 6 weeks later the school is raised 65,000 penes. >> main stage's loud efts performance was about bief the detroit native high strung. they had an energyic performance. the concert was a plash back to the kinks and the who and tv shows like hala blue. ladies and gentlemen. the high strung.

mr. jordan's and it failed because they felt the ryan budget did not go far enough. but the ryan budget did get a majority of votes. the president obama budget did not. and what did the president and harry reid do do when their budget failed? nothing. they left, that was it. if they're concerned about funding for the cftc and the usda and the f.d.a., why aren't they working on a budget that's more acceptable? isn't that what leadership is all about? so what we're having here now is because we won't explore our own energy and we won't develop it we're going to blame it on the cftc's funding level. i think that this amendment, although it does nothing, i think we should move on to more serious discussions and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from massachusetts rise? mr. frank: to strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. frank: mr. chairman, having heard the subcommittee chairman's discussion of this bill, i now

the situation in gaza is for them on the border with jordan will improve after mr bush for functional transfer control will order it will not draw is the problem of tourism the government should do so because it is in the underground of the most importance and i want to repeat the words of president bush who said many times the most important thing is that we recognize also we are the country we have more legitimacy and we can see in this country even georgia hello. i'm not sure how many times as long as georgia claims of housing itself are safe here in georgia your question its legitimacy as a country seriously dog control the territory that which they claim. it is up to georgia to decide which future and want to see are they more are they going to continue to be a proxy regime in the caucasus or are they going to rather for the good for the neighbors are on them and start building a peaceful caucasus with all the stupid confrontation of soviet union had a research and you can approach aquarius what sort of relationship does applies here maintain with russia and how do you expect it

mr. snowbarger. >> good afternoon, chairman jordan and other members, i'm ben snowbarger and i'm with the pension corporation. i should also point out from january 2009 until july of 2010 i was also the acting director for the pbgc. i will testify today about the pension plan, the nation's largest producer of autoparts. as you know in july of 2009, pbgc stepped in to protect the pensions of 70,000 workers and retirees. pbgc will cover about $6 billion of the plans shortfall, $1.2 billion is not guaranteed. pbgc's interest and the pension plans spans the past decade. they began actively monitoring delphi after the spinoff in 19 e. in early 2005, dell -- delphi's credit was down to creditor to speculative. after they entered, they worked intensively with delphi, gm, and other stakeholders to keep it ongoing. delphi told it's employees and pbgc that it intended to reorganize with the pension plans ongoing. however, when delphi failed to make the contributions to plans, liens were triggered against delphi nonbankrupt foreign subsidiaries. beginning in march of 2006, they affected the liens so

mr. speaker. his name is tyler jordan, his father was killed in iraq. i look at him and he represents all the children in america who are crying because their moms or dads are coming back dead. many are coming back without arms and legs. so tyler represents children in america. who have their family loved ones over in afghanistan. it's time to bring them home, mr. speaker. and then the other poster has the flag draped coffin, they call it a transfer case, coming into dover air force base. how many more families in this country have to look at the flag-draped coffin of their loved one? mr. speaker, that's why i hope both sides will join mr. mcgovern and myself in h.r. 1735 because mr. gates has already said we will be in afghanistan until 2014 and 2015. that's what eugene robertson is saying. how many more have to die in the next three or four years for a corrupt leader named karzai that we are paying $8 billion a month to and we are cutting programs in america for children and senior citizens. mr. speaker, again i want to make reference to tyler jordan

mr. eye kinison, you're up first. >> good afternoon, chairman jordan, ranking member kucinich and members of the subcommittee, i'm associate director of the center for trade policy stulds at the cato institute. since 2009 i have followed closely the auto company bailouts and bankruptcies, and i'm grateful for the opportunity to share my concerns regarding the lasting implications. the views i have today are my own. with help from some pundits and various media outlets, the administration is pitching the narrative that the auto bailouts were successful. the evidence in the support of that conclusion seem to be limited to the fact that gm's been profitable over the last five quarters and that chrysler has repaid much of its debt to the u.s. treasury. but it is to whitewash, one, the deversion of funds from the troubled asset relief program by two administrations for purposes unauthorized by congress, two, the looting and redistribution of claims against gm's and chrysler's assets from shareholders to pensioners, three, the unprecedented encroachment by the executive branch into the finest d

jordan. he said he actually spoke with johnson while he was in jail yesterday. you talked to mr. johnson, then? >> no. the only time i talked to him was yesterday when we -- when we informed him he was being put on paid leave. >> did he say anything to you about the allegations? >> no. >> didn't deny it? >> all -- all i said weary putting you on paid leave -- all i said we're pitting you on -- putting you on paid leave and he wanted to know more about it and i told it -- and i told him it had to do with misconduct. >> reporter: now, the school will be conducting their own investigation and will be putting out a later to parents about what happened. this happened in february. the girl didn't report it to her parents until early in the month. the school district was just notified a week or so ago that this was actually happening. right now jen -- jerry johnson was held in lieu of $750,000 bond. we don't have a precise day of his arraignment. the rule is 48 hours. it could be tomorrow he's arraigned or tomorrow. we'll look into that. kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> right now,

mrs. crystal heffner." oops. the new york post said crystal planned to leave hef at the altar and sell her story to somebody for $500,000. other reports say she left heffner for another man. specifically jordan seem to be dealing with his disappointment. over the last few hours he's tweeting the better now than after the marriage. another tweet followed where he said, i love this, since we're not getting married on saturday. i schedule aid movie "run away bride" seems appropriate. obviously his sense of humor in tact but getting dumped is not something he's used to. >> he's not used to that. my guess he'll not have a problems finding another fiancee if that's what he wants. >>> kiss star, job simmons and longtime love shannon tweed just can't stop. >> this is another story people are speculating is another stunt. they were taping an interview for the joy behar show when things got very awkward. >> how's your back, gene? >> my back is good. my schmeckle not so much. >> that's nice about you to joke about it. that's so rude. >> i was just joking, because she's a comedian. >> here. thanks for the question. >> i'm sorry, you blaming it on me? don't put this on me. >> there she goes and she never
