steven gibbs reports. >> they want their president back. this group in north of the country was calling for the return of mr. zelaya. his supporters say the new government of honduras is already trampling on their human rights. but thousands of other hondurans take a different view. for them, this is a time to celebrate. they believe that the military did the honorable thing by arresting their unpopular president and flying him out of the country. meanwhile, the exiled mr. zelaya here in panama is being fated abroad as the rightful leader of honduras, as he prepares his comeback. he now says he will return to the country on the weekend. but the honduran attorney general says there is no way mr. zelaya will be reinstated. he says he's prepared an international arrest warrant for the former president, who's accused of seeking perpetual power amongst other crimes. quet is who is listening to the new honduran government. diplomats are leaving the country in droves. the german ambassador the latest european to head for the airport. perhaps a compromise can be found, but it currently looks unlikely. those for and against

mr. chairman. >> thank you very much. ms. stevens? >> does that work okay? >> yes. pull it closer if that might be easier for you. what ever is easier for you. >> thank you, chairman engel and members for holding this hearing on the crisis in honduras today. i would like to begin by expressing my sympathies to the people of honduras for the violence and political turmoil they have experienced this jan 28. it is understandable and perhaps inevitable that there crisis has triggered a larger debate about policy and politics, democracy. but neither their humanity or their dignity should be forgotten as we discussed the implications of the coup for all of us inside and outside honduras. in fact their interests and hours are in alignment. in that context let me make three basic points. first, i believe the goal of our policy and diplomacy should be resolving this crisis in a matter that restores the constitutional order to honduras and returns president zelaya to office. second, we need to stand with the region and singing loudly and clearly that military coups cannot be

steven moore -- is it a job killer?? >> it's a debatable proposition. >> 20 seconds, mr. reich. is this a job killer? short answer for mr. reich.h. there is no question, you put an % payroll tax on the backs of small employers, some will be driven out of business. bob, you were the department of labor secretary, you know these are terrible taxes for businesses trying to hire workers. >> wow, he did that in 15 seconds, mr. reich.. >> and steve, you made very sense.e. my point was small business -- any business is going to put these costs ultimately on to consumers, but the real issue is a tradeoff. either the business and consumer pays, or, you know, you're going to have a lot of people who don't have health insurance who are going to go emergency rooms. somebody has to pay.y. this seems to be a very good compromise. why not? >> because businesses can't pass on these costs. we're living in a global economy right now. what happens is, that the costs of producing things in the united states becomes more expensive relative to things that are produced in other countries. you're going to -- i think you're

mr. speaker, it is with a deep sense of sadness that i express my sincere condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of wisconsin's native son, steven drese, who was killed in action in afghanistan on june 28 while serving in operation enduring freedom. his enlistment began in july 25, 2008. he was assigned to the 12th infantry region men out of for the carson, colorado. he counted among his awards three bronze stars and a purple heart. when any soldier falls, we mourn collectively and we pray as one people. and when we lose one of our very youngest soldiers so close to home we are especially grieved. nothing can replace what steve's family has lost but if it's any cons tellation, steven drese remain dutyful and brave at all times and he was a loyal united states soldier. that such a young man that could serve so selflessly is afforded to the people of wisconsin and the citizens of these united states. steven will never be forgotten. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from oregon rise? mr. wu: to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my

mr. pastor, several weeks ago the house sustainable energy and environmental coalition met with secretary of energy steven chu. he shared his vision of eight innovation hubs that will deliver transformational energy technologies. this bill only funds one of those important hubs -- hushes -- hubs. when these hubs were discussed with the committee, d.o.e.'s action plan wasn't fully developed. since that time they've made necessary revisions to develop the concept. while we support funding of proposals that are developed, we hope you'll continue to work with the coalition and the department of energy to continue working to fund this initiative as this process continues. thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to yield to my colleague and fellow sea commender, mr. carnahan of missouri. mr. carnahan: i thank mr. polis for yielding and his work. i know first-hand that improvements to our built environment are some of the lowest hanging fruit in terms of energy efficiency gains. in the long-term, we would like to work with you, mr. chairman, to see that all eight energy innovation hubs are fully funded in the short-te
