mr. martin. thank you for the work that pugh did and bring us to this point.ou mentioned the influence and that you side at several levels. as far as i'm concerned, a and we would not be here today if there was not undo influence -- undue influence. the producer set out with a little more length attached to it so we could really think about the root problem and why we do not fix it? >> one of the main problems is the lack of public funding for research at land grant schools. there have been cutbacks at the state and federal level that should be doing research, which if it is public dollars, it should be for the common good. i cut that has been replaced by industry funded research. -- that cutback has been replaced by industry funded research. that is not always in the vein of public health or in the -- in keeping broader public health in mind. there's also a lot of influence ethnilike the national pork pros council influencing state and federal policy makers and enforcement of existing regulations and laws. >> well, thank you, thank yos an to all of you. >> [i

mr. martin. thank you for the work that pew did. that was odyssey very helpful in bringing us to this point. you mention in passing the issue of undue influence and that you saw at several levels, as far as we're concerned we wouldn't be here today. if there was an undue influence in reinforcing bad decisions being made. could you just kind of set out a little bit, i'm interested in hearing what you said with a little more link attached to it so we can really think about what the root problem is here and why we don't fix it. >> i think one of the main problem is the lack of public funding for research at land-grant schools. there's been widespread cutbacks, both state and federal level. that should be doing research, which if it's public dollars it will be for the common good. that cutback has been replaced by industry funded research, educate blame the industry for wanting to fund research that promote its business model or its product. but that is not always in the vein of public health or in the broader keeping broader public hea

mr. martin. >> and i will yield to mr. shadegg. i want to read in section 102 of the pending bill what makes this amendment necessary is on page 16 at the bottom, line 20 it says greece period for current employer, and climate based health plans in general the commissioner shall establish a grace period whereby beginning after the end of the five-year period beginning with year juan and employment based health plan in operation is the day before the first day of year one must meet the same requirements as applied to a qualified health benefits plan under section 101 including the essential benefit package requirement under section 121. so, if you like what you have and want to keep it the best that can be said under this bill is you might get to keep it for five years. >> would the gentleman yield? >> i'd be happy to yield. >> this is exactly my point, mr. barton, if you are an individual and decide you don't want the basic benefits package and are willing to do with less, that's fine, but an employer who decides beyond disgrace pe

mr. martin. >> one of the first tenants of medicine is to do no harm. i think our friends in the democratic side it would be well to consider that as they unveil their latest version of their health-care proposal later this afternoon. the proposal as we expected to be and as it was last week would destroy the private insurance health-care market in america. it would do it within five to 10 years because of the mandates and taxes and penalties. this bill that is being unveiled today it takes a different approach. it uses the power of the marketplace and of the individual making free choices to provide access to more americans through the arrangements that the congressman has alluded to, which i think is very important. and also providing a tax credit for individuals who do not work where they can get insurance. they can join one of these pools. there are too big problems in the health-care industry today. one is access. the democrats tried to provide access with government mandates and the government plans. we're taking a different approach through indiv

mr. jackson was martin luther king jr. >> those young kids grew up from being teenage comfortable fans of michael to being 40 years old and being comfortable to vote for a person of color to be the president of the united states of america. [cheers and applause] michael did that. michael made us love each other. michael taught us to stand with each other. bill: and if you disagree with honoring jackson the man, watch out. congressman peter king called jackson a pedophile an assessment not uncommon and was immediately branded a racist. naacp official hazel dukes and congressman bobby rush both said vial things about mr. king. the message is clear if you criticize michael jackson you hate black people. nonsense. if you like jackson, fine. no problem. that's your right. if you do not respect him, that is fine as well. dukes and rush are playing the race card pure and simple. they should be ashamed. the crowd outside the service today was much smaller than predicted. the service itself was very well done. but the media coverage was a bit bizarre. i mean, there is something surreal about watch

mr. martin, busy winning his fourth race in 2009, more than any other driver this year, amazing comeback't win a race in the previous three years. >>> got to love this, pga tour yesterday, this is steve stricker at the john deere classic, third shot on the par 5 and who says par is a good score in not for stricker, not par, not birdie but the eagle has landed. nicely done. >>> university of delaware star mark duncan has been arrested for a stabbing. this despite the fact that he is the stabbing victim. is the stabbing victim. changing his story too many times for an incident that happened back in may. first, he said he was attacked while playing basketball. then, he said four men jumped him on the street. police are really not sure what happened. >>> and finally, forget about the crack of the bat. it was all about the crunch at the mets/reds game, friday night, new york. part of a potato chip promotion. all fans attending the game were given a bag of chips and told to munch on them at exactly 7:35. the guy from the "guinness book of world records" was on hand, certifying the loud crunch

mr. ellison: martin luther king spoke of the fierce urgency of now and he talked about the fact you can't set a deadline on somebody else's freedom. there is another civil rights movement going on and that is the right for health care. health care is what we need now and we cannot delay. i urge my colleagues to come together and pass the health care reform bill before we go out for august recess, because people absolutely need it. people who are fearing being dropped or put off from pre-existing conditions, people being subject to discrimination because of their age or gender. we've got to stop this and make sure that a caring nation cares for the health of its people. the time is now. we cannot delay. we have had enough time, madam speaker. six decades america has debated about what to fix. we have 45 hours of markup, 250 pages of bill and work to make sure that we have every input and every view point is shared. the time is now. and i yield back. . the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee rise? mr. roe: to address the house for one minute. the speaker

martin luther king jr. jr. mr. perry, still a long way to go. progress but still a long way to go. i don't want to put words in your mouth. maybe you don't feel that way. >> i know there is a tremendous amount of progress. let's be honest. if white folks didn't want a black president there wouldn't be a black president. it was the butt of every joke up till now and we have to understand and give credit where credit is due. there is still racism and the biggest racism they're challenged with is the internal racism we have towards one another. the circumstances that exist where in many cases where there are quite a number of black people where the majority of the community is black, we run those communities. we are the borough principals. >> i wrote about that last time, black in america on ac 360 about racism in our own community. reverend, just five seconds. i'll give you the last word here. >> i mean all of us know dr. king helped to change the country. but the question is now we have to continue that change and if what king did is to be valida

and i'm inspired by the words of martin luther king, mr. speaker, who said that we have the fierce urgency of now, the fierce urgency of now, that we can't say that somebody else can get their freedom at some other time, at a more convenient time, at a time when it makes sense and it's comfortable for everybody. no, he said, civil rights now, not later, and i have to say today, we got to have health care for all right now, not later. the fierce urgency of now, mr. speaker, and i want to let you know, mr. speaker, that when i was watching television last night i was tuned in to president barack obama and i want to let you know i was very proud of president obama last night, mr. speaker. president obama came before the american people and articulated a case as skillfully as any argue or oratorer ever could for health care, health care now. and the thing that really grabbed my attention, mr. speaker, is when he was asked by a reporter, why does it have to be now? and the reporter asked in somewhat of a challenging and slightly dericive tone of

mrs. watts' children. >> reporter: barry is still married. but he's been separated from his wife for years. >>> governor martin o'malley testified on capitol hill in front of a house oversight committee. it was to see how certain states were handling the tracking of government stimulus money. governor o'malley said maryland already had a system in place. he praised the state's ability to provide a transparent report to the citizens. massachusetts governor also testified. >>> the wife of disgraced financier bernard madoff is now leave the country. a federal judge ruled to return her pass port after it was confiscated by u.s. marshals. she was forced to give up all but $2.5 million of her personal fortune. madoff is now serving a 150- year prison term for masterminding a $100 billion ponzi scream. >>> now that the public memorial service is over, the singer's private life is back under the microscope. lots of unanswered questions remain. >> reporter: the final resting place for the king of pop is still a mystery. the jackson family is even keeping secret where his body is. some speculate he could eventually be buried atner -- at neverland ranch.

mr. leahy: i ask unanimous consent that lieutenant colonel martin a u.s. army special officer, be granted floor privileges for the duration of s. 1390, the national defense authorization act for fiscal year 2010. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, what is the parliamentary situation? the presiding officer: the senate is considering s. 139. -- s. 1309. mr. leahy: thank you, moments ago i left the judiciary committee hearing room. we're considering judge sotomayor to be an associate justice on the supreme court. considering this historic and well-qualified nominee, many americans may feel our country has completely turned a corner in terms of equality and civil rights. i certainly hope that judge sotomayor's nomination will unite us as a nation. but i'm aware that there is a lot more that still has to be done to protect the civil rights of all americans. i want to notify my colleagues that i plan to offer that matthew shepherd hate crimes prevention act is offered to the pending amendment of the defense authorization bill. i t

mr. chairman, niece of the late dr. martin luther king, had two abortions. she now leads an organization known as the silent no more campaign, made up of exclusively of women who have had abortions. she points out that in every abortion, one baby dies, can i have an additional -- the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. mrs. emerson: an additional minute. mr. smith: she's made it very clear that after every abortion, one baby dies, two of its twins, and one woman is wounded. the long-term psychological damage, the physical damage, is underreported upon and underappreciated but as she and so many others have pointed out, it is there. she has said, how account dream survive, talking about her late uncle, the late dr. martin luther king, how account dream survive? these are her words, if we murder the children? abortion methods, mr. chairman, are gruesome. the choice, the euphemisms that are employed to cloak it, can't mask a dismemberment abortion that hacks a child to death or poison shots that chemically burns and kills an unborn child. abortion is infan

mr. speaker. this statement was made by dr. martin luther king jr. more than 40 years ago. dr. king said, of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane. sadly, dr. king's statement is still relevant today. statistics prove that the high cost of health insurance causes or deepens financial hardships. the service employees international union reported that in 2004, half of all people filing for bankruptcy cited medical costs as the reason. and in 2008, half of all home foreclosures will were due in part to the high cost of coverage and care. the numbers also prove that the high cost of health insurance causes people to remain or become uninsured. due to the high cost of health care coverage, one in six or 43.6 million americans you understand the age of 65 do not have any type of health insurance. that comes from the center for disease control. the children's defense fund reports that nine million children are uninsured in america. statistics demonstrate that the high cost of health insurance and lack of access to quality health insura

the minority staff led by martin, liz and kelly and aaron and juan from mr. wamp's staff. the majority staff led by subcommittee clerk carol, tim, murray, walter and donna and lindsay of my staff. i would also like to thank a special thanks to john who has recently let my staff -- left my staff to work for our military as an employee of the pentagon. all of these people have helped continue the long, proud tradition and legacy of this subcommittee to work on a bipartisan, frankly a nonpartisan, basis, always putting our troops and veterans first and as i say that, i once again thank our ranking member for always fighting and putting first our troops and our veterans. with that i'd like to reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from tennessee is recognized. mr. wamp: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. wamp: it is indeed a high privilege and a great honor to stand on the floor today with chairman edwards and present the 2010 military construction veterans affairs and rela

another witness, keith martin, told a similar story of confronting the shooter who both witnesses identified as scott roder in the parking lot. both of them essentially saying that mr. roder seemed intent on killing anyone who stood in his way. shepard: the suspect never talked today, right? >> no. scott roder said absolutely nothing today. his attorney entered his not guilty plea for him. he has been giving several interviews in which he has not admitted responsibility but has said he believes the killing of dr. tiller was justified. so no word from him today. he listened intently. he took some notes but didn't say a single thing. shepard: have the larbes let on -- the lawyers let on whether they will put him on the stand? >> they haven't said that but they said he is doing plenty of talking already for himself. referring to that series of introduce he's given. -- interviews he's given. we may her from him. if his lawyers allow it and he wants to talk. when the trial proper begins september 21. shepard: jonathan hunt live in new york. jonathan, thank you. you want to see police on the streets. protecting your homes and your businesses, right? well now d.c. is abou

martin franklin. when i said before they are a fascinating company thanks make so many different things. a sampling is crock pot, food saver, mr. coffee, bicycle and v playing cards, k-2 skis and snowboards, recall iawlings equ balkl canning jars. >> that was the original business. >> you must have a really good time at work. >> i have a lot of fun. it's a great company. the common theme is they're all market leaders in their respective markets. the strategies have always been dominant market share, niche market. >> but they're consumer goods. >> all consumer goods. >> how are you doing? >> we're doing well. i've always said, you know, it's better to be the number one player in a market that gets tighter. you can grow share when you have tough economies, tough markets, and you can protect your position. and that's really what's happened. we've grown shelf space. we've out-performed categories. and it's really cushioned the blow in what's been a difficult consumer space. >> is there a favorite child anywhere in here? >> i love all my children, equally. we haven't sold a business in eight years, 7 1/2 years, since i became invol

mrs. meyer because all roads lead back to iowa. >>> if you had the same car or home insurance policy for years, there's a good chance you're paying too much. our financial contributor ray martince. >> good morning. >> it's always good to go back and kind of go through and make sure you're getting the value for what you pay for, right? >> that's right. a lot of people don't do that. a consumer reports survey showed most people stay with their auto and home insurer for 15 years. your insurance company's appetite for risk could change, they don't give you the discounts. a new competitor comes in the marketplace and changes prices. you should shop around every three or four years. you should also ask for the discounts that qualify because your situation changes too. >> we'll go through the whole list. we'll start with the car insurance. you believe some people just simply over insure? >> absolutely. i'm not talking about the liability coverages they have. you should obviously keep above your state limits there. i'm talking about for older cars. with the recession, we reported that people are driving their cars longer, keeping them on the road. they keep collision and comprehensiv

mr. rob. see you tomorrow for game 2 of the series. if you are just dialing in, it's 6-2 the final the mets taking the first of three. j.d. martin from syracuse. only threw 74 pitches. 50 some of them in there for strikes but they were teeing off early. then he settled down after the first couple innings. >> i'm sure he was nervous, johnny. golly, he has had such a hard road back to the big leagues. 1st inning, checked swing. what are you going to do about this? then a sacrifice bunt and murphy singles to right field. doubles to right felted. francoeur doubles to left on a breaking ball that actually was very bottom of the strike zone. i thought that was a good pitch and he went down and got that. i guess he saw it right out of his hands. looked like a god pitch but sometimes you can't getaway with those up here. singles to left center on a line drive. pagan right up the middle. these balls were flat down the middle of the flat. ground ball up the middle. that was a sawed-off pitch on a hanging slider that got in. i believe it was a slider. but it cut him off and he slipped it to left. the story changed as he got ground balls, a

martin@@@@@ kn#a a a sa&a short break. does that work for you, judge? >> it most certainly does. senator specter is recognized for up to 20 minutes. >> thank you, mr.chairman. judge sotomayor, you have been characterized as running a hot courtroom, asking tough questions. we say popping out of the supreme court opinions from time to time statements about pretty tough ideologue cal battles in the conference room. justice scalia was quoted as saying, the court must be living in another world, busy designing a constitution for a country i do not recognize. referring to a woman's right to choose and roe v wade, a fundamental rule of judicial restraint requires us to avoid reconsidering roe cannot be taken seriously. do you think it possible that if confirmed, you will be a litigator in that conference room, take on the idea logical battles that pop up from time to time from what we read in their opinions? >> i don't judge on the basis of ideology. i judge on basis of the law and my reasoning. that's how i have imported myself in the circuit court. when my colleagues and i in many cases have initially come to disagreeing positions, we've discussed them
