but mr. lewis and mrs. gibson may be arguing in a moment, i don't want to put words in their mouth, but my understanding is they're going to claim that of the three types of projects, that it's not that first type that you're arguing but it's the second type of project which are the installation of small, new equipment and facilities in small structures that should apply and not -- doesn't involve limited numbers but i'll just ask to you respond, why does your type one apply and not type two of this class three of categorical exemptions? .my point is that if you read those they are almost an identical. one is to locate in limited numbers of small structures. the second is installing new equipment and facilities in small structures. what is the difference? the only logical answer is one of them talked about locating them and one talks about installing equipment in them. that was my interpretation. i do not think it matters very much. the limited number i think is important. but even if it fits -- even if the

mr. lewis allowed his opinion on it. i obviously disagree. these are student-athletes participating in an athletic activity on their inst... on their campus at their institution, and they have access to the best educational opportunities that we find in the united states. mr. lewis seems to think that that's not a fair bargain, and i disagree. >> the ncaa, when we talk to them, they say, "we're supporting the student-athlete. that's... >> ( laughs ) yeah. the ncaa is... they're in a fraudulent position. they're in aalse position. ey are in e potionf defending the indefensible. and i'm amazed it hasn't been more fiercely challenged in the courts. >> why do i believe this case has just cause, and these people are wrong? >> bergman: that's exactly what sonny vaccaro and a team of the nation's leading class-action lawyers decided to do: sue the ncaa in federal court. one of their targets is that clause in the document the players sign that they say denies the players any compensation from the use o

mcdermott and mr. lewis. you said we've long maintained that we forgo revenue in exchange for lifetime health and financial security for all older americans. as an example of this, it's very likely that under the affordable care act the aarp branded insurance plan for 50-64-year-olds will become obsolete and will no longer receive revenue from those plans. is it your intention to forgo future revenues or royalties or sources of income as the affordable care act roles in? and are you committing today that you're not going to be earning any of those revenues or royalties or sources of income from areas that are in the exchange? >> we really haven't had a conversation. we really haven't had a conversation about the exchange, and a strategy about the exchange. >> but that's what you're implying in these two senses, aren't you? >> no, i'm not. >> but when you say, when you say we would forgo revenue if this happens, and an example of that we are forgoing revenues, that is a reasonable application of those two sent

mr. john lewis, congressman lewis, for his comments. one minute. the chair: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for one minute. mr. lewis: mr. speaker, i want to thank my colleague from arizona for yielding. mr. speaker, i have never been one to stand silent in the face of injustice. today i see before us one of the greatest betrayalials in american history. the betrayal of our seniors, disabled to rely on medicare for their health care. we have made a social compact with our seniors and the republican budget breaks that compact. it is a disgrace and a shame. where is our sense of fairness? where is our outrage? we can and we must do better. the republicans head down a very dangerous path. we cannot, we must not, and we will not balance our budget on the back of the people who can least afford it. our seniors, the disabled, the poor, the hungry they have done nothing wrong. they do not deserve to bear the burden of these budget cuts. support and vote for the people's budget. it is the right budget. it is fair. and it is just. i yield back the

. >> with that i recognize the gentleman from georgia, mr. lewise minutes. >> thank you for being so patient. the republican report points out the aarp and its subsidiary -- to you see this large nonprofit organizations? >> i have and so has the irs. in my written testimony i went to some effort to talk about board overlap. when there is an overlap of less than a majority the irs has been interested and doesn't think it leads to the purpose of determining whether the activities of one organization should be attributed to another and that is important to tax lawyers which is the role i am testifying in today because that can jeopardize the exempt status of the organization to which the activities are attributed. the question of a total overlap raises questions for inquiry. the irs has looked at situations of overlap or potential 100% overlap and following facts and circumstances that the case available in the form of a private letter ruling that in that one case it did not lead to attribution. the idea of the overlap report can in fact be the way th

mr. speaker, i rise today to celebrate the milestone in the life of a lady professional golfer, stacey lewis, of the woodlands, texas, and of late the university of arkansas at fayetteville. she won her first lpga golf tournament yesterday in california. the craft, nabisco championship, a major event on the lpga tour. mr. speaker, my purpose today is not necessarily to bring attention to a sporting achievement, but rather to acknong the hardship in this young lady's life that makes this accomplishment incredible. mr. womack: she suffered from scleosis as a child and spent her teen years in a back brace. only because of her drive and determination did she reach the pinnacle of women's professional sports. add to that she dominated the field the very week her grandfather passed away. i'm proud of stacey lewis, i admire her grit. literally and figuratively. she has a spine of steel. i join her parents and the razorback nation in saluting her for what we all hope is the first of many championship trophies. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee

mr. secretary, your observations in this realm are, as you note, sadly not new. you could well have cited sources even before your era. preeminent cold war historian lewis gaddis said of the kennedy administration, kennedy's strategy broke down because it did nothing to prevent the subordination of strategic interests to those of the organization's implementing the strategy. large bureaucracies all too often develop their own institutional momentum, making them impervious either to instructions from above or to feedback from below. legendary scholar huntington said they are supposed to resist innovation. and that same era, dean atchison, writing more of the truman period, quotes towns and hoops, the historian, our difficulty is that a nation of short-term practicing matists, accustomed to dealing with the future only if it becomes the present, we find it hard to regard future trends as serious realities, yet failure to achieve this new habit of mind is likely to prove bad. and kissinger wrote, most foreign policies that history has marked highly in whatever country have been originated by leaders who are opposed by the experts. i hope you have a chance
