mr. levin's recognized. >> thank you. mr. chairman, you and i have had a few discussions about these issues. and all of us want to do more of that. so if i might, i want to ask a broader question of the secretary briefly. but let me just mention about pass pass-throughs. i think it is one of the major challenges to tax reform, as you indicated. i think it has to be looked at comprehensively. we're going to mark up 179 and other bills tomorrow and i think it's a mistake to take that outside of tax reform unpaid for, permanent. mr. secretary, you've expressed your view on this before. do you want to just comment briefly on that approach? >> congressman we have consistently opposed taking these items one by one and making them permanent in an unpaid for way, even provisions that we approve of and that are part of our plan. i think that section 179 should be addressed and expanded. i think if we can have real progress on business tax reform that would be a way to get it done and takes the issue off the table for the future and re

farewell address to the united date set it, i still have the same as i that the senator from michigan, mr. levin, did, the same sense of what an incredible privilege it was to be in this chamber, but ted sent in -- said it best, when he said, and i quote, being a senator changes a person. something fundamental and profound happens to you when you arrive there. and it stays with you all of the time you have the privilege to serve there. it does change you. i suspect those of you students who are here as senators today ask any of the senators who presently serve or have served before. they can give you incredible examples of watching people change. i ran for the united states senate because i stood against everything that senator strom thurmond and senator eastland and others stood for. yet, on the 100th birthday actually four days after the wondered birthday -- the hundredth birthday, senator strom thurmond was in the hospital dying, and i got a phone call from his wife saying, i just left the senator, and he has a favor to ask of you. mr. chairman. and i said, anything at all, and he said -- she

mrs. clinton addressed the controversy that caused questions about national security specifically. we bring in adam levin, expert in personal e-mail servers. the chairman and founder of identity theft 911 and we have rich edson standing by in washington, d.c. we welcome you both. adam, first to you. what is the number one thing that jumped out at you on this? >> the question you say, was it privacy? was it security? is that why she was using her private e-mail. she said it was convenience, and i get scared when convenience trumps security. but when you're talk about the fact that a server was in the home of the president, of the former president, and that president is under the protection of the secret service, and i assume the secret service protection extends to cyberissues as well, that's a little more comforting than the concept of a thousand dollar server sitting around with a couple geeks trying to figure out how to make it secure. liz: it's a contracting issue. who are the contractors? that's a question the people running around. the secret service was there. to rich edson, right off the bat, one

mr. craig was? we did. esurance. backed by allstate. click or call. >>> the forensic evidence clearly showed that 16-year-old tina isa had not been killed in self-defense as her parents claimed. dr. victor levine is an expert on the middle east and says tina's death sounded tragically familiar. >> zein isa comes from a small town in palestine and he carried with him that whole baggage. every day there are dozens and even hundreds of women who are in some fashion killed for the commission of some crime involving the sexual honor of the family. >> though dating is common in the united states, it's discouraged in parts of the middle east where arranged marriages are the norm. >> when a man and his family have daughters, daughters are the purity of these women, of the daughters, then guarantees a marriage. you see, and the delivery of the girl intact, virginally intact, which then commands a higher dowery. a girl who has been violated does not command a dowery. in fact, may not be able to find a husband. >> tina's death may have been part of an old tradition -- the honor killing. >> she stained the family's honor. and blood, zein would say, blood must cleanse blood. >> in societies where honor kil

mr. jones: thank you. general campbell, thank you and your staff for being here today. i'm going to take a different approach. i looked at your narrative and the comment by senator levin, who is now retired and said, i cite these public opinion polls americans, 65%, 70% think we haven't received anything and he's critical of the people that don't think we've achieved anything by saying at the end of it and people that are 7,000 miles away think we haven't. well i would say to the senator it's those people back home that are paying the bills. they need to get something out of the tax dollars that they're paying. when we went into afghanistan in 2001, the debt of our nation was $5.95 trillion. today it is other $1 trillion in debt. -- it is over $18 trillion in debt. you know from your brothers and sisters in the military what we're faced with with budgets. all right. then, i read in a blog yesterday from someday jason ditz, between casualties and desertion, the afghan military is shrinking fast. the desertion problem is a long standing one, with many afghans signing up if they are military, sticking around long enough to get their first paycheck and then bailing and of
