[applause] >> thank you, mr. ma. yor. he has been a steadfast supporter of this from its inception. the board president who happens to represent this the district has also been a strong supporter of this project from the start. i want to remind folks that every single action that the board of supervisors has ever taken with respect to the central subway has been approved on an 11-0 vote. there's not a whole lot of things we could say sail through with that type of track record. it speaks to the city wide importance of the central subway. it brings very specific benefits and very specific impacts to this neighborhood here. the board president and his role as district supervisor has been very focused on making sure that we do do the right thing, that we did the right thing in relocating tenants. i just want to acknowledge our real estate director, the city attorney's office, and our program manager. they all worked very hard to make that progress as smooth as possible in a way that meets the expectations that president chiu has set for us. without further ado, i want to invite our boa

mr. arafat to mas pass away. >> let's forget that -- for my peoples in a dramatic way, very international -- that i am the man who made the peace of the brave. >> back in a oslo. >> back in oslo. >> and finally. >> -- close friend, yes, he said recently at this moment, air fat is the christ -- arafat is the christ of the palestinian people. christ died for his people, correct? you've said fairly recently that you want to be a martyr for the jerusalem people. >> yes. i hope that i will die in jerusalem. i have lived there when i was a boy. so i would like and i hope that i will have the opportunity to die this. >> what are the chances. >> i believe peace is coming. sooner or later. no other choice for the stability in this area. i hope so. >> i asked, i said to arafat with all of his people sitting around there, you know of course four out of five palestinians believe that you and the people who are sitting in this room are corrupt. there's a lot of money here. there's a lot of real estate, a lot of cars. in the meantime the unemployment rate in gaza is about 40%, on the west bank 35%. peo

mr. gary does not typically respect this type of ma tefrment tefrment -- material. the gigantic fence is promoted as larger than the hollywood sign. acid rain, bird droppings and air quality will disintegrate this feature and likely cause security issues for pedestrians below. the only positive thing i can say about it is that most likely very few people would go there. and so there is less chance that a piece of kansas would fall on some one's head. trash collects in public spaces. the wind blows and visitors are careless. gusts will blow, standard city trash, all over the 600-foot long fence. we have to clean our millennium gate park every day. and the cost to clean this simple place is expensive. the cost to clean the gary, enormous structure every day will be more expensive. though eisenhower belongs to all of us, he truly belongs to the eisenhower family. and their opposition must be onored. family have continued to serve our country. and we owe them respect, as much for that service, as we do for their heritage. i end with a paraphrase of the general's letter

mr. hastings. h.r. 1231, reversing president opaw ma's offshore moratorium act, h.r. 2021, the jobs and permitting act by mr. gard never of colorado, h r. 1337, the san joaquin valley water act by mr. nunes of california, h r. 872, reducing regulations -- regulatory burdens act by mr. gibbs, h.r. 1633, the farm dust prevention act by mrs. noem and finally h.r. 910, the energy tax prevention act by mr. upton. now, just talking among friends, i would feel that the secretary of interior exposes a little bit of thin skin. these are credible debates that we're having in america right now. whether we should use foreign oil or oil produced in this country. whether we should export our jobs overseas to produce energy or whether we should get them here. so i read where mr. salazar says that the fact is most of the outer continental shelf resources are open for business, he says, then give us the nod and we'll simply pass those first three bills, putting the gulf back to work act, restarting america offshore leasing now, reversing president obama's offshore moratorium. if it's already the case, just humor us

ma in and her medicine chest. she knows better. and in our hearts americans do too. i'm happy to recognize the gentleman from north carolina, the ranking member of our subcommittee, mr. butterfield for his five minutes. >> thank you. let me thank the chairman for holding today's hearing on this very important subject, prescription drug diversion. i know that this issue is very important to you and i admire your work on it. prescription drug diversion is an everriwing problem in our country. in fact, aotple years ago in 2010, 7 million people, 7 million over the age of 12 were considered current users of a prescription pain reliever, tranquilizer, stimulant, or sedative that was not prcbed to them. sadly, it's become clear that as legitimate prescription drug use rises, so too does the number of people who abuse these drugs. and so too does the number of people who accidentally die from prescription drug overdose. it is unconscionable that since 19( a little over 20 years ago, deaths resulting from an overdose of prescription drugs have risen. it's risen fivefold. something must be done, and i agree with that but the question is what? and by whom. some of the testimon

ma. that's how he got to massachusetts in the first place. after growing up in michigan and graduating from byu, mrnt four years at harvard earning both a harvard law degree and a harvard business degree. this is mr. romney with a few of his harvard school business study buddy. they get together every five years for a mini-harvard reunion n a weird way it explains his line of attack today against president obama. >> we have a president who is a nice guy, perhaps he spent too much at harvard or not enough time working in the real world. >> mitt romney, as we discussed on this show last night, has exactly one trick as a presidential candidate. you take some perceived weakness about his own candidacy and you say that it's actually barack obama's weakness. does obama spend too much time at harvard thing, this is a favorite of mitt romneys. >> i didn't learn about the economy just reading about it or hearing about it in the faculty lounge at harvard. all of those years perhaps in the harvard faculty lounge -- >> that may be what they think at the harvard faculty lounge. >> it is true, he went to harvard

mr. speaker, i wouldn't be on the floor today. . . but the marine corps has never in a press release corrected the misinformation that happened shortly after the osprey crash when the ma reap corps' original press release indicate -- indicated possible pilot error. mr. speaker, that's why all these names that i have read today have joined me in asking the united states marine corps, who i have great respect for, they're among the best, to give the families, connie gruber and her daughter brook, to give trish brow and her two sons, matthew and mark, one letter on the commandant's stationery, clearly state to the brow family that your husband john brow, a true american hero, was not responsible for the crash on april 8 of 2000. the same for connie gruber. her daughter wrook down in jacksonville, north carolina. -- her daughter brooke, down in jacksonville, north carolina. the -- one let we are the same language as i mentioned for colonel brow, the same language for major brooks gruber. i can assure you that as long as i have the privilege to serve in the united states congress and with all these experts that i've quoted today, that are willing to join me, that the right

mr. president. after last week's arguments at the supreme court, many experts believe that there could be a ma joertyity to strike down the individual mandate. and if that were to happen, if it were to be ruled unconstitutional, ho uh would you still guarantee health care to the uninsured and those americans who have become insured as a result of the law. and then a president for president calderon and prime minister harper, over the weekend, governor romney said the u.s. used to promote free enterprise around the world and he said, quote, our president doesn't have the same feelings about american exceptionalism that we do. and i think over the last three or four years some people around the world have begun to question that. my question to the both of you is whether you think that american influence has declined over the last three to four years. and president obama, if you would like to respond to that, too. >> well, on the second part of your question, you know, it's still primary season for the republican party. they're going to make a decision about who their candidate will be. it's worth notin

president obama ma a pitch as appearing on the "jimmy fallon" show before a huge audience at the university of north carolina. a southern part o heaven mrtold the crowd he wants to keep the interest rate on student loans at its current lower level. >> now the thing that we're really conceboutrned a is congress potentially doubling the student -- the interest rates on student loans whi is not a good time to do it, especially when so many young ople are already struggling andheir parents are struggling because they are helping make it possible for these kids to do great stuff. >> later a stop at the university of colorado turned pretty messy when a student spilled yogurt on the president. it was all an accident. mr. obama laughed it all off telling the young woman getting yogurt on the president, well, you've got a story to tell. ain't that the truth. >> where was the secret service? >> we know where they were. >> that's right. >>> and speaking of political wives seem to be far more popular than their husbands according to an abc news poll out this morning. first lady michelle obama has a 69% favorability rating and that's 13% higher than

mr. markey: i thank the gentleman. the raise -- rise in gas prices is not about opaw ma, it's about opec, oil companies and wall street speculators. wall street speculators now control nearly 2/3 of the oil market up from 11% just 10 years ago. mordepan stanley now controls 15% of new england's home heating oil. and experts tell us as much as 25% of the price of oil is the result of excessive speculation. that means american drivers are paying a wall street speculation tax of more than 70 cents on every gallon of gasoline. wall street speculators have turned oil market intoss a crude oil casino, yet the majority actually tried to cut funding for our wall street cops, the commodity futures trading commission, by $30 million and today mitt romney called the administration's efforts to crack down on speculation a gimmick. for pro-- they're protecting wall street consumers -- -- protecting main street consumers over wall street consumers isn't a gimmick, it should be a fiven this motion will give the cftc, the speculation cops, the resources and personnel they need to put an end to wall street's gas lean gambling. vote ay

mr. you look at what republicans said in 2008 going unilaterally into pakistan, do you think there say legitimate policy betweenoma mahow republicans feel about that mission? >> i don't see a policy difference. president bush had a number of attempts to get bin laden a number of times. the intelligence group is the same today as it was then except for retirements. the capabilities hasn't changed, the the desire hasn't changed. the real question is whether we've moved away from capturing terrorists or switch to a policy of just killing people which might be effective in terms of creating the organization but not effective in the finding of future plots, if there's going to be a policy debate here that's where it should go. >> interesting point you bring up, ron, is that mitt romney talked about this back in 2007 it was, april of 2007 and he said this, it's not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars are trying to catch one person and then he chang changes position in an nbc debate. play a little clip of that. >> of course we get osama bin laden and track him wherever he has to go and mike sure he pa

mr. lungren for joining me in this effort and with that, ma cam chair -- madam chair, i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman rise? >> i rise in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman veck niced for five minutes. mr. rogers: i want to first compliment mr. langevin for working with us on the cybersecurity bill. he has been an instrumental force in pushing the cybersecurity issue to the front and getting the ladgewadge -- language we have that finds that right balance my concern with this, and i think this is why the president's, at least his advisors who are recommending to the president that he veto the bill, are misguided is we have done something fairly unique. it is all voluntary and we separated the government and private sector. the government won't be involved in the private sector networks, and they won't be involved in government networks. perfect. with this, it crosses both of those. it gets taos a place that i think we need to have a lot more discussion on. you can see by this he -- by the level of debate just on this issue h
