mr. klein: mr.port of this resolution and yield myself such time as i may consume. as an original co-sponsor of this legislation, i'd like to thank the author of this legislation, my good friend from florida, ms. ros-lehtinen, for authoring this important statement. this resolution recognizes the 65th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz. as many in this chamber know, auschwitz was one of several nazi concentration camps. auschwitz served as a death factory of eastern europe's jewish community and many others who were persecuted and murdered by the nazis. on january 27, 1945, auschwitz was liberated by allied forces, and that day is commemorated around the world as international day of holocaust remembrance. today auschwitz is a reminder of the consequences of hate red and bigotry -- hatred and bigotry in few hasity's worse. humanity never again will sink to those depths. this resolution reminds us of this purpose and focuses our efforts on education and prevention. this is something that i ha

where am i going wrong here, mr. klein. >> i think you are going pretty much right on the first one. i mean, khalid shake mohammed is the undi bomber enemy combatants and keep in prison until hostilities cease. >> bill: why do you know that and i know that? >>no you have written about it. let me pose the question. if you know it and i know it, and the polls show the overwhelming majority of americans know it, why doesn't president obama know it and his guys? why don't they know it? >> well, i think that there is a real problem with eric holder and. >> bill: well, fire him then. fire eric holder. he is a pinhead anyway. >> there is probably a lot of other things he is doing well. >> bill: like what? >> you can say fire him. >> bill: like what? what is he doing well? like what? >> i'm sure that he is representing the united states. >> bill: he didn't prosecute the black panthers in philadelphia when they were standing in front of a polling place with clubs. >> come on. >> bill: you said he is doing a bunch of stuff well. giv

mr. klein: thank you, mr. speaker. the house is going to consider the house insurance industry fair competition act. lrbn+j bill will level the playing field by repealing the health insurance industry's unfair advantage and helping encourage competition by bringing down costs for families and businesses. everyone knows that competition drives our economy. fair competition is what encourages innovation, ensures quality service, and drives costs down and that applies to health insurance, too. unfortunately, health insurance companies are exempt from these fair competition rules. this is like your neighborhood pharmacy calling up its competitor down the street and deciding to set all their prices at the exact same amount. you can't do that. it's not fair to consumers and no other business in the united states is allowed to act that way. what's fair for every other business in this country is certainly fair for the health insurance industry. today's bill makes sken changes and i look vord -- commonsense changes and i look

mr. kleine of minnesota offered an -- mr. kl ein of minnesota offered an amendment to rewrite its charter to rewrite its important missions. mr. conaway and his personal interests in audible -- auditable financial statements led to a provision in the bill that requires the intelligence community to focus on its internal financial management and to provide a system that achieves auditibility. madam chair, i believe this bill will provide the resources and the tools that the intelligence community needs to do its important work in keeping our nation safe. that includes collection and analysis of human intelligence, signals intelligence and geospatial intelligence. it includes funds to detect and disrupt terrorist plots, to provide for intelligence support for the war fighters in iraq and afghanistan and improves the recruitment and training of a diverse and capable work force. during my time on this committee, i've had the good fortune to be able to travel and to meet the brave men and women of the intelligence community. both

my concern with healthcare reform and other progressive legislation addresses what mr. klein called a speedy process versus open and accountable transparent government and how you balance that to ensure a sense of trust that they're not all idiots on capitol hill. that we can get something done. and i'm afraid that speedy process kind of throws that out of balance. so could you address how that trust in government can be inlayed with our message for reform? >> of course. and, you know, this is a very, very hard thing for people to plans, you know, and you saw it with obama, right? he made this pledge. everything is going to do be open to c-span but, of course, not everything can be open to c-span. there's a reason why your board meetings aren't open to c-span and there's reason why my fights with my girlfriend is not open to c-span. open it to c-span, you have a meeting and then a back room meeting where people make decisions. if we put the age ban two-one, young people will get screwed year. but if -- these are hard trade- offs. the way the media works -- obama challenges re
