mr. lawrence after you finally told us he re-signed it goes after the 29th of may, 2010. presumably after the bid was announced, is that right? >> yes. yes. >> was the purpose of the discussion to see and the liberal democrats part of the coalition could be onside? >> no, not so much to be brought on site. i had been attempting and requesting to meet with the minister, mr. cable in charge of the portfolio under the enterprise act in this area, that the politician himself, the secretary of state, holds the responsibly to make the decision. it's not a question of a regulator or an independent body or anything like that but it's the secretary of state himself can do that. i had been requesting a meeting with mr. cable. i was told that i wasn't able to have a meeting with mr. cable and his advisers with our team is will to talk about the transaction. so i reached our people i think reached out to mr. cable's advisers who suggest we talked to various senior liberal democrats. >> can ask a general question about the timing of the bid? we know what's in the public domain, that n

. >> lawrence was visibly affected by mrs. tuthill. em spoke, what was so interesting to me was lawrence wanted to make her feel better. >> you know, you said you couldn't protect her. i don't believe that. i believe you protected her and it was just someone else's violence that caused what happened. you protected her more than you knew. and you're still protecting her today, doing this. giving of yourself to people who don't deserve it. >> she took comfort in what lawrence was saying. and i think it made him feel somewhat better to be able to give her some type of comfort. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. >> but i also think her sharing of that story helped lawrence get in touch with the people he had victimized. >> lawrence, how were you changed by miss tuthill's talk? >> um, i don't -- i just -- i don't know how -- i don't know how to explain it. i really don't. it's deeper than words can ever be said. i don't know if i'll ever -- if i'll ever have that kind of opportunity. and just to be honest, i don't know if i want it. it s

mrs. fine has never spoken publicly about how these allegations have ruined her life. until now. lawrence. welcome to you both. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> you just sent me a copy of the lawsuit laurie fine is filing against espn. lawrence, i want to ask you, why is the lawsuit against espn? >> well, espn published worldwide defamatory statements about laurie fine and they have essentially ruined her life and destroyed her reputation in a syracuse community that she loved and served for so many years. for that reason, we are seeking to hold espn accountable for their reprehensible actions. >> you know, we played that taped phone conversation that espn aired. laurie fine did say this in a taped phone conversation. she said -- i'm going to quote here. he, bernie fine, needs male companionship i can't give him. if allegations against espn are true, how do you explain that, kevin? >> that statement is taken entirely out of context. he -- she's talking about, bobby davis, of course, not her husband. frankly, when when you look at the audio tape that has been released, the selective po

mr. krugman. i think he could emphasize that more. no disrespect to my friend lawrence. but at the end of the day, the country could use a little more certainty in the marketplace. could use a little more certainty in the regulatory environment. and if you ran a big business, you had shareholders you were responsible to, you would answer differently than krugman did. >> canesian economics. he believed when you had good times, you ran balanced budgets. you paid back the debt that you owed. and the democratic party for over 40 years controlled the united states congress, and they never, ever tried to balance the budget in good times. >> hold it. >> and so they gave -- and so they gave -- until clinton. and until actually george h.w. bush. but through from lyndon johnson who really was the original culprit here till george h.w. bush, no one really was a canesian. they were just spending money. >> but the government hadn't come around for, hey, we better do a cost model for medicare. they tried but it wasn't a serious model the way they do them now. but in 1993, bill clinton

mr. chairman, thank you for the opportunity to address you today, and i would be happy to answer any questions. .> thank you very much dr. lawrence jr. -- let me begin by stating that defense secretary panetta has long believed that having a strong language ability is critical to national security. we are committed to building the most capable force we can deploy. our success is directly connected to our ability to communicate effectively with local populations. our current challenge lies in building language positions. we have been reduced in this efficiency. studies show that exposure to foreign language and early line -- early language learning greatly facilitates language acquisition. bringing in individuals with foreign-language skills makes it easier to train people with higher levels of proficiency. this would make it easier for us to fill positions with appropriately qualified individuals. we are working to overcome these challenges with strategies to achieve our vision for language regional and cultural capabilities. this man's acquiring and sustaining language skills, the but-this means acquiring and sustaining a langua
