mr. mitchell. mr. superintendent, i used to hate it when people asked me these questions, but on the -- on the human capital question that you were raising at the end about finding administrators and finding teachers in rural areas -- we face this in my state of colorado. if you would wave a magic wand, what would you change that you think would have an it. packet on your ability to be able to fill these positions that you were talking about? >> i think sometimes inadvertently, we do a tremendous disservice to our profession. my wife is a teacher. she's a great teacher. but with her experience over the last 28 years, the thing she told her three daughters go get a degree something other than teaching because of the frustrations. one of the things that i saw in some latest research is that what teachers want most is supporting leadership. so if we could put supportive leadership in there and then leaders like myself who have to tell people, it is great to be a superintendent for schools. yes, it is hard

mr. mitchell: it would not impose a dire threat to israel, an important ally in the region, but to the united states as well. we need to act, we need to act now. i hope the conferees will complete their work quickly so that the final iran sanctions bill can be enacted soon. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentlelady from north carolina rise? ms. foxx: i ask permission to address the house for one minute, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. ms. foxx: thank you, mr. speaker. over the past weekend president obama sent a letter to congress. he said we need to spend $50 billion as quickly as possible in order to jump-start private sector job creation. i'm not sure if the president's read the unemployment reports lately, but 16 months since his $1 trillion stimulus bill became law the private sector is still struggling under the tax and regulatory burden of an ever-expanding federal government. unemployment is at 9.7%, and frankly, the last thing the private sector needs is the fear

mr. mitchell comes and we hope he will bring with him positiv encouraging views tocontinue the dialogue. and here, i would like to express some concern that the situation is extremely difficult and that we ope in a two-state solution, a state with palesti independent, contiguous, living side-by-side in peace to say to israel this concept i fear is beginning to erod and the world is starting not to believe, to distrust that we are able to reach a olution. so, we are sein-- coming out that we do not approve of. we do not acept, but we cannot muzzle muzzled the mouths of people. there are people in the west bank saying tt there be a-- state. this is something we do not accept and on this ccasion, we are presenting to israel, to the arab peace inittive, 57 state solution, not the two-state solution. in other words all the arab countries tat sign the arab peace initiative already. if arab withdraws, if it withdraws from shabazz, these are te serious demands that the arabs are asking for. they are not really serious-- israel can do this within minutes. it c get normalization with 57 arab and i
