mr. roberts. . i would be interested to know whether you have reconsidered your own safety containment planning for the proposals you have made in alaska. and going beyond the current proposal in the arctic, you consider the technology is adequate to move forward based upon what we learned? >> i feel it is. we have started to develop a system to complement the containment systems. the operating environment is different. i think is adequate to proceed. we were very concerned to -- after the exxon valdez. we wanted to make sure adequate skimmers were availab in the presence where there might be spills. are they present in the arctic. >> they are managed by an oil delivery manager. i understand our strate. our program would bring the response with the program. it is a flotilla of vessels. it is remote. you cannot not respond ung these facilities. it has to be part of your initial operation. >> what do you think of marine at spatial planning? >> >> it sounds like a good idea. >> we have heard frequently

mr. robert blancato? there are instances where they have specialized units like in san diego, california. they have had a dedicated person does a prosecutor, investigating cases. where they have been able to target resources for that purpose, they have a very good track record of prosecuting these cases, and enhancing public awareness about it. the larger question is adult protective services as a primary for mind source of investigations of other these cases. one of the main features of the other justice act which to give it a dedicated funding source, so they could actually go out and do the kind of work necessary to help report these cases, so they can be reduced. and is to be more resources dedicated, or reallocated, depending on the nature of things, for these prosecutions been there is more work being done in this area. we are in a position or more local governments can do this, and be effective. >> mr. chairman, i would like to add that this is the case in maryland where there is a person who is de

robert c. byrd once gave a speech about films in the senate. he had never seen "mr. smith." we got him a videotape of it and several other movies. he watched them over the weekend. he came back on monday with a parliamentary procedures critique, saying that is not the way the senate does business. he took it very literally in that sense. he also appreciated that it was a movie and that hollywood takes license. >> the main character was jimmy stewart playing jefferson smith, a brand-new senator walking into the chamber for the first time. he is accompanied by clarissa saunders, who was the assistant to the previous senator that he replaced. he was appointed by the governor of -- i do not remember of what state. do you remember? >> some midwestern state. >> it was against the advice of all the heavy hitters. >> the political pros. >> let's watch and we can pick up on things they talk about. >> this is it, senator. >> the united states senate. >> uh-huh. >> this is senator smith. >> how do you do, senator? >> how do you do, senator? >> glad to see you. show senator smith to his

but robert taft was mr. republican. he was the leader of the conservative forces in the republican party. he was a man of great integrity. even people who disagreed with him admired him. john f. kennedy, who didn't vote the way taft did, chose him for his book profiles in courage. and when he chaired the committee depicted the five most significant senators picked taft as one. he also reflects that problem that a lot of senior senators have of who want to be president of the united states that all the thing that is made them successful in the senate make them less successful as presidential candidates. and senators have to vote on all sorts of controversial issues. you have to go on record. you can't dodge a controversial issue. the longer you serve in the senate, the more difficult votes you cast, you in a sense reduce your political base rather than expand it. so it's not surprising that the three presidents of the united states who have gone directly from the senate to the white house have actually not been sort of t
