some people, mr. lee made known their position in the company, engaged in behavior is that were far too risky and exceeding risk management. those people no longer work for the company. they spoke up to be removed from the company. or resigned from the company after speaking up. it has a chilling effect on the ability of other people to become whistle-blowers. any recommendations whether whistleborrowers should have additional protection so that they can speak up when behavior's are risky and make sure appropriate people know it, not just the next one up the chain but up aboard? >> i believe it is critical in corporations that whistleblowers be heard at the highest levels. so that their concerns should be responded to so that the highest officers are held responsible if they don't respond. my own experience with some of the other -- it has gotten better in corporate america. significantly better. >> the risk-management function did not have a direct line to the board. also learned not only were they moved

mr. lee. i'm going to take my five minutes to start with. i thought were the first two witnesses started it was going to be a boring session. i wondered why we didn't provide baseball bats. it seems to be material disagreement as to whether there's any responsibility at lehman or whether or not any rules or regulations were violated. certainly that's obviously a conclusion we draw from the latter two witnesses. let me just simply try and classify your testimony. as i heard to testify, he did nothing wrong. he performed to the standard you'd expect from the chief executive officer. in the termination of lehman brothers was just something that happened. is the relatively correct your testament? >> i wish it were that easy. >> i didn't hear you take any responsibility. >> i have testified before, where at that time i said, both in my written and oral, that i take full responsibility for the -- for the decisions that i made. and all i can say to you is that i made those decisions, i had the infor

mr. speaker, jamie lee jones was a 20-year-old and went to iraq as a civilian contractor. here's her story. after being in iraq just a few days, she was drugged and gang raped by fellow employees. she was held hostage in a cargo container for 24 hours without food or water. she was assaulted so badly that later she had to have reconstructive surgery. she convinced one of the people guarding her to let her borrow a cell phone. she called her dad and her dad called my office in texas. with the help of the state department, we helped immediately to rescue her and she was quickly brought back to america. but no one has been held accountable for these crimes. the rape kit and forensic evidence was compromised by people in iraq. and during this vimes' rights week, when a crime is committed against them in a foreign country they should have justice. people like jamie lee jones deserve the protection of our law. it should reach in lands far away to hold perpetrators accountable for assaulting fellow americans in a time of

are you familiar with the e- mail exchange between himself and mr. lee at the panel?out this. are you familiar with the e-mail exchange? >> yes, sir. >> do you have an opinion on what you're former president and ceo meant? >> no, i do not. that was not an exchange. that riwas rare. >> what about the lehman finance group? he had an exchange with another employee, "what is up with repo 105?" "this is basically window dressing. we are basing this on technicalities. he was a senior member of your finance group. are you aware of his existence? >> i am not. thank you. >> in your written testimony, on april 20th, 2010, i have no recollection whatsoever of hearing anything about the transactions while i was ceo of lehman brothers. is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> were your employees hiding this from you? >> no, they were not. >> then why did you not know about this? ? >> these occurred on the government trading desk. on any given day, we moved through the system over one trillion dollars. on any given day, lehman traded between $50 and a hundred billion dollars. we were proba

mr. lee, in your opinion with lehman brothers executives hiding the true nature of the firms global balance sheet from either sheetsec, or federal reserve, or or---- from either the sec or ? >> based on disclosure, yes. >> could you elaborate? >> i am not an expert, but on the knowledge i have gained, i think the public were misled as to the true leverage of lehman brothers, at least during fiscal year 2008. >> and professor black, but secretary geithner and chairman ben bernanke have excused the failure of the fed and the federal reserve bank in new york to require lehman to protect its material misstatements on the grounds they were not lehman brothers' regulators. the you think that is convincing as a reason, and is it ever pretended to ignore wrong doing on the grounds it is not acting in a regulatory capacity? >> it never is correct. you have the responsibility. if the fed does not have rules mandating its employees make referrals to the sec and justice department, they should change tha

which was good for woods because he boeing hole 17 but remains four strokes behind the leader who is mr. leeestwood of the united kingdom. the day started with westwood in the lead and woods four behind that's where they remain after 18 holes for at least woods. we should have him drive out what is the most scenic spots here. this is magnolia drive behind me entrance and exit for the players. eventually woods will get his things and drive out. will he make an incredible historic return to golf by getting a fifth green jacket tomorrow? that remains to be seen. he's going to have to have an incredible day to do that >> what are the crowds like bigger? have you noticed any animosity or are they just cheering for tiger like they always have? >> reporter: very well animosity, a lot less than i expected. there had been a plane thursday with two banners aerial heckling. the faa grounded that plane yesterday morning because there were four additional banners that were supposed to be flown over the tournament. all of them giving tiger woods a strong ribbing about his extramarital affairs. the faa sai

town called baltimore as you can tell from my accent but i have a question for you particularly to mr. lee smith anytime you can produce a book that puts it all together as you seem to have done i want to congratulate you on that. i wanted to ask you did you ultimately come down on one side or the other in retrospect with respect to mr. bush's administration decision to go into iraq which is obviously heavily criticized and part of the reason that he is no longer in town as he used to be. but you come down on one side or the other or foretell that we would run into some of the issues we have had with some of

>> repeatedly. >> i would like to go to mr. lee. you indicated that you delivered a message, hand carried a message. he did not say what it was. for you indicating to us that you were trying to tell the auditors that something was taking place? >> i delivered my may 16 letter by hand. let's -- >> were you trying to indicate that this act could be harmful to investors? >> that was underlying it, yes. >> did you have an opportunity to communicate this? >the fact that there was something impropriety is taking place that may be harmful to investors regarding repo 105. >> the other factors in my knowledge were well-known in the firm. >> how were they well-known it? did you tell some specific person that this repo 105 may harm investors. >> for months and years -- >> did you convey this? >> aes. >> did you convey this to the audit committee? for an auditor? >> i did. 2 of them. >> did you receive a response? >> no, i did not. >> nothing was said to you after you pass this on? >> there was an acknowledgement that they knew about the issue.

mr. lee, at the end of every quarter, transactions were temporarily removed from the balance sheet. when were they put back on? >> it's a continuous probable zest, we peaked at the end -- process, which peaked at the end of the reporting period, so if you read the examiner's report, it's like a 10-day stretch. there's not a set number of days and there was always a level base, one if five, that was on all month long. >> so, mr. fuld, with you were talking about any given day, there were a number of sales transactions. is it fair to say that at the end of the quarter, with repo 105, it was completely different than the rest of the quarter? >> i would say that the examiner's report had a very interesting chart, which showed that it spiked on the quarters. >> do you know why it spiked on the quarters? >> on the quarters' ends i should have said. >> again, i will say, i was not there for structure or creation of these, but i will say that these transactions were not created by lehman brothers. they were created and modeled after faz1 from. -- faz140. i do not believe that faz-140 create

here's the pitch sequence on mr. lee. changeup, strike. fastball down, jam on the inside., tied up his hands. we've got a maxwell out there. you've really got to go hard these next two righties. this is where you earn your reputation as a set-up man. >> bob: first time these two have ever faced each other. >> rob: got to start working ahead. working behind, putting the advantage to the hitter. you don't want to do that coming out of the bullpen. >> bob: the only thing about the cubs is, they go right, right, right. >> rob: with the force plays in order, you always think in the back of your mind, one pitch away. >> bob: very late for that one. >> rob: there's nothing wrong with locating a good fastball like he did on derrek lee. not throwing the curveball tonight. that's a good pitch. it's too close. 2-1 pitch. that is a strike. that is an awful call. the last few seasons, just awful umpiring. >> bob: 3-1 now. byrd helps out by swinging at a pitch outside. the nats get a very important second out. the runners do move up to 2nd and 3rd in a two-run game. >> rob: well, wasn't

mrs. lee. >> thank you very much mr. chairman. good to see you, madam secretary.et me thank you for your of leadership in helping to move the historic health care reform bill forward and for your steady leadership and your voice and your experience and also those of us who are adamant about public auction and terms of keeping costs down and holding insurance companies accountable we're counting on you to make sure that that happens short of haping public option. so thank you very much for understanding how important that is. myself, congressman allard and, the try caucus was lockstep, very adamant on addressing racial and health disparities as part of the health reform bill and i'd like for you to elaborate on how this budget actually supports the goal of diversity in the health professions, the recruitment and training, how you increase diversity, and institutions and researchers, when ethnic minorities benefit from any new innovative health research at nih. also in terms of the direct support for the nation's minority medical colleges, targeted support to help e

i think mrs. lee had a good point.ne of the things that you run into when you visit law schools that are not the ivy league is a sense among the students. and it doesn't matter whether they are minorities or women or males, that's just many of the students. that there is no chance that they can be here at our court as law clerks or any other capacity. that is something that i think we can eliminate. and saying that possibility exists. and that spreads throughout. i also think that justice breyer is absolutely right, that a lot of our hiring. there are only four to each of us a year. there is no system, we all do it individually. it depends on the people you know. so if you know more people, say at the university of georgia or george mason or other schools, you have a tendency to rely on their advice about a young person applying. and it's individualized. the broader that net is and the more changes you have of bringing individuals in who are now excluded on a large scale or significant scale. >> and i am grateful for y

jackson lee: mr. speaker, it's not often you come to the floor of the house with joy and with sadness. and it is with both that i stand to honor a fallen friend, lenoiria dahl carter, a champion of a woman, and, of course, someone who led in our community. dahl carter was the publisher of the forward times newspaper in houston, texas. she and her husband, julius, founded that newspaper in 1960 reporting on all of the civil rights matters, the assassination of dr. king, the 1964 civil rights act and 1965 voting rights act. and then his untimely death in 1971 calls this young woman and young mother, the mother of karen and constance, to take up the helm of this great paper. this paper became the third most read newspaper in the southwest after two of our major papers in houston, and this lady became the dolph all of us. her name clearly was a name we favored. lenoiria dahl carter, born in arizona. but she was not only a friend toward the advancement of african-american achievement. overall, she person f

mr. chairman. >> thank you. ms. lee. >> thank you very much. good morning. let me just say -- once again, how delighted i am to see -- it's a rare opportunity that we have a chance to interact with the judiciary. so thank you for being here. i want to follow up, and mr. crenshaw, boy, he asked my question. but let me just follow up a little bit and take a little bit -- in terms of how i would like to see this -- your answer a little bit more in terms of broader answer. first of all, i started here on capitol hill as an intern in the early 1970's. became chief of staff. then went to california and ran for the legislature. and now i'm back here. and it's been very difficult. and i've seen some progress in terms of women and people of color. in these key positions. not enough. actually, we have -- and to the speaker's credit we looked at diversity on capitol hill and we're not where we should be in terms of reflecting the diversity of our great country. now we're in the midst or in the final stages of the census. and of course we know based on the previous cens

mr. brown? >> i expect the generic point on lord lee's question and gibbs has something hat committee exist after the election will have to come back to. that's the adequacy of the league structures to address the much-changed environment and in terms of security that we face in the 21st century. i mean, i'm not choosing anybody of come mr. -- complacency is the comfort with that, sometimes given the light to by the facts on the green, the fact that we have to report back to the significant number of pirates in somalia, not necessarily by us, but by other people. and not taken to kenya. i'm not asking for that generic point. i'm fascinated by the document that was published today on the issue of maritime security and the progress that has been made. the eu operation and the nato contribution, and what the americans do, you know, in aggregate will provide the ships to do -- first of all on sea battle. but there are still serious problems. and during there. and it looks as though the international community is beginning to get to grips with this with 100 pirates we have in kenya. and that's the pro

mr. pier lee westy: i yield myself another minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for an additional minute. mr. pierluisi: soldiers from puerto rico, utah, georgia watched each other's backs any different culture or language mean nothing. i went to afghanistan recently to visit our troops in afghanistan. i know what we are talking about. what matters is that the flag on the uniform is the same. as i have said many times before i support statehood because i believe the people of puerto rico have earned that right should they choose to exercise it to become full and equal citizens of the united states. but this is not a statehood bill, and that's why with all due respect to the gentleman from washington state, we cross the bridge when we get to it. the time and day the majority people will request statehood, you'll have ample time to debate it, to deal with it, to impose a transition period, whatever this congress or future congress might want to do. i was selected to represent all of the people of puerto rico, incl

lee. >> caller: hi. wondered if you could say, mr. dean could say a little about why white supremacy, white racism is such an important component in this american conservativism? i mean, you've mentioned barry goldwater's 1964 campaign and his trips to the south. clearly, with white spremmists and his interactions down there. so i'm wondering why this is, why they have, why the american conservative movement has allowed white supremacy to be such an important component in their development and rise in america? >> guest: well, i think it's a rather new phenomenon. as a matter of fact, if there is anybody who was not a supremacist or a race cyst, it's barry goldwater. he's the man who integrated the arizona national guard long before truman had even done so with the, with the armed services. he's somebody who, for example, there were black and white theaters in the phoenix that he as a member of the city council eliminated. he's somebody who voted against the '64 civil rights bill much to his later chagrin on the advice of two lawyers w

mr. conyers: madam speaker, i yield sheila jackson lee, senior member of the committee, as much time as she may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized. ms. jackson lee: let me thank you very much to the chairman of the judiciary committee, my colleague from texas, mr. poe for his presence and comments on the floor about dr. dorothy height, and as well, the author of the resolution. i'm very proud to have joined congresswoman fudge to be an original co-sponsor of this legislation. i come to the floor today, as we did yesterday, for, i believe that the celebration -- for i believe the celebration of dr. height's life needs no stopping, if you will. if we continue to commemorate her throughout this week, we will not be able to account for her service and for those who may not be familiar with dr. dorothy height, i only wish that this picture was in color, so maybe as you look at this lady adorned with fabulous hat, well attired, you will remember seeing in many pictures with presidents, kings and queens, international leaders a lady who was appropriately att

mr. defazio of oregon for five minutes and ms. jackson lee of texas for five minutes.speaker pro tempore: without objection. under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009 and under a previous order of the house, the following members are recognized for five minutes each. mr. poe of texas. mr. poe: madam speaker, freedom of speech is under attack in the west today, brought to you by the same radical islamic terrorists who use religion to kill in the name of hate. i talked about the dutch lawmaker who is on trial for insulting islam. he made a documentary movie about real terrorist acts and real radical islamic terrorists for encouraging violence. instead of being gritful for him bringing this to light, the dutch government put him on trial. he's charged with inciting hatred for showing the world how islamic cler irks incite people to hatred. he spoke the truth and got charged with a crime in his own country. the dutch ministry of justice says it doesn't matter if he's telling the truth, the court says it's irrelevant whether his assertions were correct. what's

lee in new orleans. welcome to the program. >> caller: high. i wonder if mr. dena could say little about why racism is such an important component in american conservatism and you mentioned barry goldwater's 1954 campaign and his trip to the south with white supremacists and his interaction. so i wonder why this is why the american conservative movement is about white supremacy to be such an important component in their development and a rise. >> guest: is a rather new phenomenon. as a matter of fact if there is anybody who was not is premises or racist it's barry goldwater. he is the man who integrated the arizona national guard long before truman had even gone so with the armed services. he's somebody who for example were black and white theaters in phoenix and as a member of the city council he eliminated. he's somebody that voted against the '64 civil rights bill much to his leadership grin on the advice of two lawyers he was impressed with. i ask him this question one day while in the world of -- i happened to be in the gallery for that vote by prison law

jackson lee: thank you very much, mr. speaker. today, a giant of a human being , a light at the end of the tunnel, a calm voice in the midst of a storm, but yet a woman who could create a storm around the issues of freedom and justice, passed away from this world and from our hearts. dr. dorothy -- dr. dorothy irene heights died today and i want to join with my colleagues and as well, the honorable diane watson who will have a special hour in tribute to dr. heights tonight, but i want to take the time to make sure that every aspect of our record today reflected on her loss. we lost, of course, dr. benjamin hooks who we paid tribute to as well. but in this life, there are few giants who reach down to talk to those who are still learning. dr. dorothy height was that woman. she is the only woman that was present at the 1963 historic and powerful march on washington. she stayed steadfast in her meetings with franklin delano roosevelt. and, of course, she was successor to the national council of negro women. the only building on pennsy

jackson lee: thank you very much, mr. speaker. on a number of occasions, many members have had to rise to speak of a very sad and tragic incident that has occurred in their congressional district and today, sadly i rise as well to speak to the terrible loss of joshua mcmackle, a young student at texas southern university. meeting his parents and sister, his grandmother and aunt, many of whom were in the service of this country being federal employees and law enforcement employees, it was so sad to be able to speak about this senseless and untimely death. i would say to you that this was a fine young man, a freshman who had come to texas southern university because of its special and exclusive music program. he was a graduate of the randolve makeon military academy and traveled around the world with his mom and parents. his tragic death occurred as any student might have it happen to them unfortunately when parents send their children away to learn. some person, some unfortunate tragic individual would take a life by gun fire. and

jimmy or i don't, and our own rick san telle to talk about what tom lee was references, it is flight from risk. let's start with you, mrsantelli. you've been seeing it all morning. >> i've been trying to call as many traders and people in the business, much more experienced cdo traders and see what their thoughts are. actually i'm getting it might be too early, given the amount of details to make any qualified judgments, but one thing seems to be for sure -- i know jim brought up one comments that goldman seems to be come president reagan a solid standpoint. they feel confident, but i can remember bear stearns confident, and remember drexler guys looking confident. i don't know that that gives you a clue, but what i do feel pretty certain about is this is opening up a can of worms, whether for good or for bad. we all want fraud pursued, but we want to look at people innocent until proven guilty, but i think a process has begun, and i do think the fact that pause are not and goldman were the first ones, just means they aimed really high for the first case. >> what's your view? you were talking about gold and today's tra

jackson lee: thank you, mr. speaker. i join my good friend from florida in acknowledging many of the issues we debate on this floor are not political issues. so he-r i ask america and i ask my friends on the other side of the aisle, let us not internally implode over a decent human rights issue of immigration reform. while the economy is failing and questions are being asked about the integrity of wall street, let us look to a reasoned response, the immigration reform, not troops on the border, not the national guard on the border, but a real comprehensive immigration reform that provides access to the country's legalization and the picking up of the criminals. we understand that. there is no time for politicking and grandstanding on the question of students and families who want to be reunited. i am ashamed of the action of the governor of arizona, but i sympathize with the people. let us have real border security. and i will be reintroducing ramping up the border patrol agents, more technology. let's do this the right

mrs. christensen: thank you, congresswoman lee, and thank you for your leadership of the congressional black caucus. we know you should your leadership, we'll pick up the mantle, pick up the torch they have left for us and carry on their legacy. i would like to say to mrs. frances hook who is -- dr. frances hooks, always at her husband's side, you are an integral part of all that your husband accomplished, we thank you for your contributions. on behalf of the congressional black caucus and on behalf of the people of the virgin islands, we extend condolences to you and the family. we in the virgin islands have also benefited by the work of dr. hooks. to dr. height's sister, ant wo net height-aldridge, and her family, to the delta sisterhood and to two outstanding women i consider to be dr. height's daughters, the honorable alexis herman and robin skinner we extend condolences on behalf of the congressional black cu caucus again and the vir gin islands family -- virgin islands family. we thank you for letting us into the life of dr. height. dr. hooks and dr. height leave big shoes to fill. the

jackson lee: thank you, mr. speaker.republicans always want to talk about distractions, but i believe the american people are waiting for the health care reform bill to be implemented and that it will and it will save lives. but why are the republicans standing on the side of big business and big companies too big to fail? now, we need the wall street reform and consumer protectionability to be able to respond to make's -- america's cry. right now one of the biggest wall street casinos, goldman sachs, is testifying and i don't know whether they can find the facts to be able to defend the astroshese acts of causing millions of americans to lose money. i personally know of a small business that they literally destroyed because they were unwilling to look at ways of allowing that business to survive. and so the $14 million of net worth loss, $22 million of decline in net worth, and 2.2 million homes lost is because of wall street. pass a legislation that will end bailouts, protect family's retirement funds, college savings,

jackson lee: thank you very much, mr. speaker. i agree with my friends on the other side of the aisle, we must create johns and we are working intensely to do that. we created 22 million plus jobs and in the obama administration we are increasing or holding or not losing jobs and increasing jobs. i hope my colleagues will join me in arguing two points, one, we must invest in the private sector, and the banking sector must help. and two, we must not lose teachers. we must begin to work on the idea of saving the nation's teachers. stand up for your job because you're standing up for the education of our children. who can afford to lose the best and the brightest. we lose that when we begin to lay off teachers. we should end any thoughts about laying off america's teachers, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: gentlelady yields. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? >> to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. bar
