mr. lee roy king -- who i am really missing today. mr. king was probably on the commission before this process even started. he is the one who should be here in my place to recognize this opening and thank everybody who has participated. i would like to acknowledge ms. augustino. and mr. range. i have never seen such a strong advocate for his community. he is always there for south of market. he is always they're not only for his project but everybody else's product. he is a true hero in the south of market area. thank you very much for your great dedication.

mr. king: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm very happy the speaker arrived on the floor to make that point. the point here is that we passed cut, cap and balance and we've done our job, now the challenge is for the united states senate and the president of the united states to do their job. i would prefer they just accept the model that's been messaged down that hallway over to the senate and i'd prefer to the president would endorse that and step up in the next few minutes and say, let's get this done. this can be done in a very short period of time. all we have to do is agree. and instead, the president and the democrats in the majority in the senate seem to want to insist upon tax increases that have to be part of any package that might come through. this goose that lays the golden egg is the free enterprise, private sector goose. this goose has to live off some profits. they have to have profit in order for their to be jobs. i would add to the speaker's statement the question, it's been about jobs. we've done our job. t

we're going to start out this way, without -- mr. king: mr. chairman, i might point out i didn't yield. mr. dicks: we'd like to have a copy of the amendment. mr. king: i'll personally deliver it to you. this version is -- the chair: the gentleman from iowa is recognized. mr. king: thank you, mr. chairman. this year we'll see more water come down the missouri river than ever before in recorded history and the result is the corps of engineers is releasing 160,000 cubic feet per second from the gavins point dam, that's the lowest of the six dams. what it brings about is a massive flooding all the way down the river for a sustained period of time. now i'm not here to talk are take issue with the design, the engineering or the management of this river, but what this amendment does is it takes $1 million out and puts $1 million back in and what i'm asking is to direct the comp engineers to conduct a new study and come back and let us know how they would have had to manage this river in the event that they had been able to see this massive amount of

you know, and in the years before she died, his widow mrs. kinga king said, this should be a day on, not a day off. this should be a day when we do the things we think he would do were he alive today, and it's a good idea to spend this day doing things he would want us to do. >> yeah. you, yoo served served, as i mentioned in the introduction, for 12 years as the chair of the board of the naacp. you continue to serve as chair. chair emeritus. you serve on the board. talk about the role of that organization in american life today. what, what should it be doing, what is it doing, and what should it beedoing that it's not doing? >> if it had not been for the naacp. and i think you can say this more about the naacp than you can say it about any other organization in our history. had it not been for the naacp, we woold not have had the civil rights advances that we've had. >> the president of the texas naacp is sitting right here in the front row, gary bledsoe, a distinguished lawyer..3 it is a people's organization. all of its leadership is elected. n

mr. king: thank you, mr. speaker. it's my privilege to address you here on the floor of the united states house of representatives. and to bring to the attention of this body some subject matter that doesn't often get a debate here on the floor but it does get some discussion in special order time and sometimes in the one-minutes and five-minutes that members present to you here in this great delishtive place that we have the privilege -- deliberative place that we have the privilege to serve in. one of the things that i want to bring before your attention here this evening is the immigration issue here in the united states. and it's something think a don't know that has been discussed here for some time. but i bring this forward because it's an important issue. it's very essential that we sustain and maintain and enhance the rule of law here in the united states. and so i bring this forward and the number of things are on my mind. the first thing that comes to mind for me is a subject that was reported on fox news ju

what's happened is, mr. kingays, no, they didn't move far enough towards the far right for him, but they did move towards the right. they made no efforts for compromise. no effort to bring the congress together and get a solution which would ensure that this gun to america's credit's head does not go off. that america's trustworthiness, credit worthiness and respect around the world would remain intact. the rest of the world and every american, i'm sure, is outraged and angered by the fact that the congress is not addressing this in an adult way, as the speaker suggested we ought to. >> thank you, congressman steny hoyer. >>> up next, texas governor rick perry flip-flops on same-sex marriage. lasthe said he supports it. that's ahead in the "sideshow." >>> you've watching "hardball," only on msnbc. be kind to your eyes with transitions lenses. transitions adapt to changing light so you see your whole day comfortably and conveniently while protecting your eyes from the sun. ask your eyecare professional which trans

mr. king: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, it's my privilege to be recognized here on the floor of the house of representatives and be able to address you on the -- about the matters of the day and the important issues that are before us here in this congress and in this nation. and i'm continually impressed by the quality of the young people that are attracted to this city both as visitors, vacationers, but also from people that will get their college degree or degrees, and many of them with a 4.0 grade point average, active in all kinds of extra activities, the stellar cream of the american crop are magnetized to come to the city. i'm impressed with them their intelligence, patriotism, dedication on both sides of the aisle. but i want to add something that is a perspective that i think those of us that have been around this planet a little longer have to offer, that is first that some of us have lived a lot of history that others had to learn by reading the history book. we know how the history books have been trunc

watt: i yield one minute to mr. king. the chair: the gentleman from iowa is recognized for one minute. mr. king: i thank the gentleman from north carolina for yielding. i rise in support of the gentleman's amendment. the reason for it is this. as i watched the structure of the o.c.e. be set up, and i say to the gentleman, we have had this for over 200 years we had the ethics committee to take care of this business. want to amend the rules of the house, let's go back to what the rules of the house are. but the o.c.e. has crossed the line over and over again. and i make this point that they have gone on witch-hunts. they have taken pieces of information that came from political opposition on either side, and embellished that into things. they have violated roman law, english common law, and the decency of the house by this. classified, confidential information, used against members of congress who don't have an opportunity to face their accuser, whose reputations have been damaged by sometimes i'll just say certainly leaks

mr. king: what would happen if we have a hurricane? we're in hurricane season and we've released 30 billion gallons from the reserve? >> we're not there for that purpose? mr. landry: that is why. that's why parts of this when we did release oil from the strategic preserve was exactly that instance, when hurricane katrina affected the refineries and the production platforms in the gulf of mexico. and you're right. we should not be using that reserve unless it is an emergency. >> i tell you what, you've hit on something that i think we need to talk more about in this congress and that is the administration taking the easy road, trying to lessen fuel prices at the pump for americans . there is a short-term, short lived impact if it had any impact at all. i appreciate your comments of the administration having a drill there and not here policy. mr. duncan: encouraging exploration and drilling off the coast of brazil when we've got the resources right here in this country, outer continental shelf off the coast of my state or off the coast of

mr. larry king. welcome and congratulations. >> thank you, e.d. i am humbled. it's a great honor.ainly appreciate pinpoint >> lifetime achievement from the national academy of television for arts and sciences. that's got to be an amazing feeling. how did you find out that they had selected you for this honor? >> they called me two weeks ago and my producer, wendy walker, who was with me for so many years, they told her, and we had to keep it in confidence. i couldn't tell anyone until they made the announcement today. so i knew it two weeks ago. so i had to walk around with that exulted feeling for two weeks. >> a little puffed up for two weeks. >> i know, hey! hey, baby! >> you know who i am. you know, i read that you interviewed more than 50,000 people in your lifetime in journalism so far, including the villains of the day like o.j. simpson, scott peterson. i've got to ask you, what did you think about the casey anthony verdict? >> well, you know, e.d., i have -- all my life, i have never pre-judged anything. i never had an agenda going into an interview and i never pre-judged

mr. vaughn. i will just tell you that my very first job at age 16 was with burger king back in madison heights, michigan, in 1980. >> that's great. thank you. >> thank you again for your testimony. at this moment, i would like to introduce mr. william dennis. mr. dennis is senior research fellow at the national federation of independent business. federation of independent business. he has directed the nfiv's research foundation since 1976. welcome, and you have five minutes to present your testimony. thank you. >> chairman, mr. altmayer representing kingston. last weekend they released a study called small business and health insurance one year after the release of ppaca. what i would like to do is release the results of that study since it's relatively current and relative to what we're talking about today. first of all, to be sure we understand who was included in this, we surveyed only people that were under 50 -- excuse me, small employers who only had 50 or fewer employees. it was a nationally random sample, it wasn't just the nfib members. there are probably some randomly in there, but this was a

mrs. kennedy's sister appeared on larry king, that very scholarly show. and he asked her. he said, what was it that your sister saw in aristotle onassis? and well, i had been interested in mr. onassis. you just have to understand. he was so charismatic. the way he would move through room or out in public. he moved like a potentate. so there was something compelling about him in addition to money apparently that both the boo the sisters were drawn to. you're absolutely right to infer that mrs. kennedy's image to take a hit. she dropped in some of the polls where people are as to is your most admired american woman. she tended to drop in those years. she went back up after he died and after she continued to live this life style in new york of the rather quiet life working as a chinook and there. but also working for historic preservation, for our example, grand central station. and so she actually went up in the polls toward the time that she died in 1994. she was well up into the top ten category of most admired women. her image came back. so, do we have time for one more? o

abroad so we have to share this cake that it and we have to get of mr gadhafi because he is the only obstacle between. us and the king is as simple as that but there are some people saying that if gadhafi is the fighting will stop store. of course not because their goal is not gadhafi the goal is to control libya. is to control it this is the target. and the libyans will not allow them to do that. so the fight will continue what do you think about media war who's winning this war at the beginning the one. they want. or the one because it was planned from beginning to get up is. collapsed. by tripoli and that he got. into it because the whole country. still now suffering from that case but now the libyans are we are one day everybody and they were saying the libyan libyan navy is bombing the harbor of mr. minister is in the middle of the desert it's one thousand kilometers or we're hitting the libyan ships there are bombing the harbor of mr excuse me the security council resolution against libya because of the fake media reporting that the libyan air force is bombing. civilian districts in tripoli and killing seven th

king. i think at the vatican it bugs the answer that mr borden gave was a little bit in the period that you see a button in the post electoral period again i'm not sure i understand your question correctly i think that you said that after the trail campaign you have to use what that means over just because every electoral campaign you know it's all kinds of. media techniques i should let them both a muzzle on i think this was what he meant mission at the legion ag and the matter of personal hygiene and there's nothing to talk about but what he used the expression was and i'm well i think it's one of those nice metaphor in any case in the upcoming elections should be transparent fear and based on russian law. the use of any kind of electoral. but your. my soul with the stakes police but it's got you all of. you should just make sure that everything is done according to move the russian with laws as for me and what my plans are i have said this many times for him i suggest that we go jim it would have some patience but it's very soon i will make an announcement to the goose about what i'm goi

mr. jackson: soon, my colleagues will be quoting dr. king's i have a dream speech, and here's the quote they will not read and they will ignore. in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent wrotes of the constitution and the declaration of independence they were signing a promissory note. this note was a promise that men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed e unalien able rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as the men of color are concerned. america has given the people a bad check, a check that has come back marked insufficient funds. but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. the problem, mr. chairman, is not that we spend, it's that's we don't honor our oblitions. we a a nation that spends billions of dollars to put a man on the moon, fund the war in afghanistan, fund the war in iraq but we can't find the money in this congress to put a man on his own t
