mr. scott: well, thank you, thank you very much, and i thank the gentlelady from wisconsin for talking about education and talking about the importance of educating all of our young children. a quality education is more important today than ever before, with the rapid development of a global marketplace we find that we're competing not just with cities across your state or even cities across the nation but cities all over the world. and we can't compete with other countries on things like lower wages. there are people who work in other countries for wages that we can't compete it with. we can't necessarily compete in terms of location. you don't have to work right next to your co-workers anymore. if you can work across the hall from your co-workers, you can work as cross the globe from your co-workers and in manufacturing, if you manufacture something you don't have to be that close to your customers. you have ship things overnight from almost anywhere. in the global economy,y when you're tryin

>> thank you mr. scott. my remarks today are going to address whether low income and minority owned with disabilities have been deprived of an equal educational opportunity. and i believe the answer is a simple yes. i want to give a little additional background from what nancy said. dakar to more than six months and with disabilities who receive support from i.d.e.a. approximate half of them are white, 20% are black and 20% are hispanic. and i.d.e.a. is not means tested haircolor, we do know that 24 percent of students with disabilities live in poverty compared to 16 percent of the general education population. in order to be eligible for special education services, a student must have both a disability and needs special education. it's also important to note that 85 percent of special education students do not have a disability that prohibits them from achieving great level academic standards. at this time there are about 16 categories of disabilities within i.d.e.a. one of the things that article to look a

if i went through mr. scott says accomplishments we would be here all afternoon by his current work on strengthening energy defense which is a great scandal. finally, i need to give my special thanks to ms. drake. fire was to say she was the best masters of public policy student to graduate from ucla probably somebody would say so and so is just as good but i can say with confidence we have never had a better and rear a two be thrilled by her career. thinks you for taking time on a friday afternoon. i am worried and excited because we have too much crime and too much punishment. both of those are major social problems. i am excited because do what we already know how to do spending less money than we're spending today you have half as much crime or half as many in prison 10 years from now as we have today. that is something to be excited about in the me tell you why i think it is true. i will talk about how bad the problems or how we got into the current social trends and how to get out then we get to the intere

. >> the gentlelady heels backend the gentleman from georgia, mr. scott is recognized for two minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i can't think of it are pressing issue to deal with at this time than the foreclosure situation. it is alarming. we ought to track for example reports that in feathered quarter of 2009 in my state of georgia had a 25% increase in home foreclosures over the third quarter and 2008. that is a total of over 36,000 foreclosure filings. that means one for every 98 households. that is absolutely devastating. but i want to turn just for a moment about what i think is an even more devastating situation. perhaps the most insidious side of the foreclosure process and one modification process and that is the unfortunate saddam of vulnerable homeowners in desperate need of assistance and saving their homes. it is one of the most tragic aspects of human existence in my opinion that whenever and wherever people are downtrodden others will move in and prey upon them and worsen their condition. i was just contacted last night by a constituent

. >> thank you, mr. scott. i'm nancy jones. i'm an attorney with the american law division of crf.d crf does provide objective and non-partisan information to the congress. i'm going to be speaking today about the legal and historic background of the individuals with disabilities with education act, i.d.e.a. a grant statute, provides federal funds to states for the education of children with disabilities. in order to receive these funds, states must ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education. assure that children with the rights of disabilities and their parents are protected. more specifically, the law also contains provisions for an individualized program and has detailed due process procedures. as a the supreme court said in smith versus robinson in 1984, i.d.e.a. set up by congress to aid the state to provide the constitutional education to provide public education for children with disabilities. although congress had made some provision for the education of children with disabilities in the elementary and secondary edu

the gentleman from georgia, mr. scott, is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr.chairman and welcome general and ambassador. let me start off with the mission as it was articulated by general gates and secretary clinton and last week was this. that our mission is is to go in, destroy, dismantle, defeat al qaeda in both afghanistan and pakistan and see to it that they do not return. that being the case, what about pakistan? pakistan is where the crux of the problem is. but yet, it is the least emphasis where we've seen our strategy. that's where al qaeda is. that's where the real apex of this situation is is. will our troops be able to go into pakistan and do exactly what the mission says, destroy, dismantle and see that doesn't return to pakistan? >> sir, the importance of the mission against al qaeda is absolutely clear. as commander of isaf, my responsibility or my authorities stop at the border of afghanistan and pakistan. we do, however, work very is hard and i personally spend a lot of time with general kiani developing a strategic partnership to enable them

mr. scott: mr. speaker, i now ask that this house do now adjourn. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on the motion to adjourn. those in favor say aye.. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the motion is agreed to. accordingly, the house stands >> you can read this sentence health care bill on line and c- span.org and follow live coverage at 10:00 a.m. on c- span2. next on c-span, general david petraeus testifies about the war in afghanistan. later, president obama meets with congressional leaders to discuss job creation. and the senate homeland security committee looks into efforts to keep terrorists out of the transportation system. now, general petraeus. he testified on capitol hill about obama's plan to send an additional 30,000 troops to afghanistan. he is joined at the senate foreign relations hearing by u.s. ambassador karl eikenberry. but the hearing will come to order. we are delighted to welcome today under secretary jack lu, general petraeus, and ambassador karl eikenberry from afghanistan. we are very pleased that you could take tim

mr. scott: i rise in support of this legislation. when you talk about socialism, these are the same arguments that were held when franklin roosevelt and members of this same body on the democratic side of the aisle came forward to respond to the crisis in that generation and there's no difference here today. oftentimes when we have had great debates and people get heated in the call of the debates, when there is no other point, you can always rely on socialism or communism. no, what this is is good old americanism. this is the most severe financial crisis since the depression. and it requires this congress to step forward with the intelligence and the sobermindedness to respond. this isn't socialism. this is good old-fashioned, free-enterprise americanism. let me talk about one of the major issues, that this is not an end to bailout. this is an end to taxpayer bailout, to protect the american economy and american taxpayers from ever, ever again having to pay for a bailout. we don't know what the future holds in terms of ups and downs

mr. scott: i just want to say how proud we all are of you and your leadership that you are providing on the floor for this hour that you have been going solid with all of this year. and i want to single out for special praise, our chairlady of our congressional black caucus. the good lord has brought us the right person at the right time to lead this caucus through tur but lent waters. barbara lee, i thank you for that leadership as we go forward. let me start in the very beginning, because i think that we need to understand what we are referencing when we use the words targeting and focus. let me just say clearly, yes, we are the congressional black caucus. but we are talking about targeting and focusing our efforts on the basis of need, no more, no less than what they did for wall street. you all may remember -- and i serve on the financial services committee, and it was secretary paulsen, a republican secretary of the treasury, who rushed over here to capitol hill with just two pieces of pap

. >> mr. scott. Ñi>> let me ask a couple of questions.hy can we not stop foreclosure proceedings while the modification is going on? >> congressman scott, the way the program works today is that these servicers are prohibited from foreclosing during this process. and we are enforcing that and we are auditing bad to make sure that they do comply. -- auditing of vathat to make se that they do comply. a council composed of foreclosure attorneys and government officials and others with an interest in this process is needed to try to see what we can do to help avoid people being frightened by a foreclosure process under way at the same time that they are being considered for a modification. there is no doubt that this is confusing people and scaring them unnecessarily. i think we have to find a better way of dealing with the the problem that you are rightly pointed out. >> to be clear, my information sesamsays to me that the forecls are continuing to go ahead even while the modification is going forward. is that not an accurate statement? >> i

mr. erickson? >> well, our view is if you like the way the internet currently works, then you should support some basic rules to preserve that internet that scott's talking about that has been the most successful communications tool ever invented since the movable type press. it's an essential communications platform today, it's essential for businesses, for innovation, it's essential for jobs, it's essential for participation in the democratic process. and so what our coalition is asking the federal communications commission to do is to establish some very lightweight, simple rules that would preserve the fundamental concepts behind the architecture of the internet so that the internet doesn't change into something that would look more like cable television, for example, where the people that provide you the conduits that provide you the content also get to have a say over what type of content users will have access to. >> host: and, gentlemen, we'll get into why you feel that way and, ann veigle, we'll get to you in just a second, but just a few weeks ago we had fcc chair julius genachowski on "the communicators", and here's what he had to say
