>> mr. wells, it is very impressive the technology that you're talking about, and we certainly understand that this is being designed and built right on the spot and on top of what -- the multiple parallel paths to containing this well. can you say something about what is the next parallel path that you're working on, because we would very much like to see the relief wells work. we understand there are two relief wells, but what's the next step after this? >> okay. so let me go through it. this is how do we kill it? with the first relief well, we're very close, we expect that will work. we've got the ability to -- we're coming in above the reservoir, so that if it missed it the first time, we still have the opportunity. so there's multiple ways we can still intersect, we're got the second relief well. if the relief wells for whatever reason fail, the other option we're working on is how do we install what i would call a permanent collection system? we're working on pipelines to other facilities an

mr well let's let's say you did comments to the senate committee mr patricia mr portrays himself said on the record mr patris general petraeus himself said general petraeus himself said on the record that his words were completely distorted by a politically charged government representatives following his testimony to the senate and what mr patris said which is that if the israeli the israeli palestinian conflict is won and you can check the protocols of what i'm telling you here go to google and check out what he said is one of a number of different problems in the middle east now you know extremely well that in fact the majority just answer what are mr mr fix misstatements of fact that the majority of the injured wounded and murdered israelis in the in the intifada after israel made a far reaching statehood offer in two thousand and one of two they made a second one in two thousand and eight which was rejected the majority of israelis that were killed live in priest sixty seven israel and if mr fisk thinks that the israeli the israeli settlements are illegal or are not proper it out

transport was mentioned as well. mr. williams, the additional source of revenue is a big topic of conversation. with regards to the portions of the salaries in the agency's overall, with all salaries and benefits, and the more than half, which makes sense, it is the largest employee group. not surprising there. the trouble for the agency as it was close to 450. making a general statement, delivering muni service every day is something that goes from the top of the organization to the bottom, we see it as a partnership that has got to continue going forward, we want to make sure the reemphasize communication. mass-transit being the key to the lifeblood of the city, you can tell by how passionately people feel about it. it is the lifeblood of any economy, congestion in people not getting whether want to go, it is a tremendous loss of productivity. we agree with that, we talked about the mayor's proposal, some of that will be postponed even further. mr. schneider raised quite a few comments. as an agency we work closely wit

mr. williams, i think it is well-taken, and i have heard from quite a few people who have reasonable efforts to really get across the message. i think it should instill a certain amount of trust in you. i am a little surprised that the department really changed its basic position on it. i do not believe this particular building is an exceptionally good building. it is rather bulky, and it is quite civilized but clear. i want to express my hope that should we come to a situation

>> well, mr. defazio proving that our airline is -- less than 10% of our customers buy from third-party companies. >> you are not answering my question. why if the government orders you to do this is this going to be a big imposition on you? >> no, if we would do it for 92, why not 8%? >> maybe you'd get more customers if you are marketed more honestly. that's great. thank you, sir. thank you very much, sir. thank you. i appreciate it. dr. dillingham, do you have any comnt on whether ts would be an overly burdensome on the airlines to provide meaningful to the system that mr. moore described. >> mr. defazio, on the work we have done, we don't think it would be a burden to provide the information in a way the customers could make meaningful comparisons. airlines having have administerrive mechanisms that could facilitate doing the kinds of things. it would not be free. but it would not be overly burdensome either. >> okay. why wouldn't we have a comprehensive rule as you are picking ound the edges

mr. kagen: well, mr. garamendi, i thank you for yielding briefly, but i am from the great state of wisconsin. mr. garamendi: wisconsin. mr. kagen: and i know that occasionally the state of california has dabbled in the dairy business and some way you got a moniker that says somehow your could you say are -- you can't be any happen -- cows are -- you can't be any happier than being from wisconsin. we are the dairy state. i remind my colleague each and every opportunity. let me tell it to you this way. if i heard my friend from california correctly, you said that today was an important day for taking a positive step forward. we saw our country on the brink of disaster. why? how did we get into that mess? there were two wars at the same time and the republicans didn't pay a dime for either one of them. two wars without paying a dime for it. there were two tax cuts to the very wealthy in the united states, didn't pay for that either. $400 billion handed over to big drug companies in medicare part d. didn't pa

well for everybody. colleagues, can we take that? >> mr. chairman, shall we have a motion to recuse commissioner schmeltzer from voting? commissioner campos: so move. commissioner mirkarimi: so move. commissioner avalos: i wanted to echo the comments of my colleagues here on lafco, and supervisor bevan dufty had actually taken the words out of my mouth. i was going to make that recommendation as well. i keep apologizing. there's no need to do that. commissioner, i wanted to thank you for your eight years so far, and they do look forward to continue to work with the. for ms. pimentel, thank you for applying, and i look forward to working with you, and i think you could bring great perspective to lafco, and that will strengthen this commission and be a great thing for san francisco. i hope you can be here every meeting as well as an alternate and contribute a lot to the discussions that are here, and i welcome that. commissioner mirkarimi: this is what we were asking a staff earlier for process and procedure, because they're actually has been

man well -- mr. santos has been tight-lipped on this issue. we will wait to see -- >> the chief executive of apple, steve jobs, says that iphone 4 is not perfect. he made a statement in california about problems that have been reported with the sellout smartphone. our technology correspondent has the story. >> is a market of ever smaller gadgets. but one stands out from the crowd. apple's iphone has transported the entire industry. you could help me out -- >> you could tell miata if you are on wi-fi by just getting off. [laughter] >> while crowds flocked to the iphone, they discovered one little floor. it was not so clever at making calls. some users have found that, if they get their phones like this, the reception starts to melt away. apple's response was to not hold the phone that way or use it 25-pound piece of plastic to do with it. that has not satisfied everybody. customers recalled the days that they would have to go on the waiting list to buy one. >> the reception goes, this one is fading and reception. it should not be like that. my

none of the light well issues that mr. kornfield was addressing are part of this notice of violation. we have a clear notice of violation. i did not have the detailed scope of work from the contractor because reading the note of violation it seems pretty clear to me the task list defines the specific things mentioned here. this building inspector knew exactly what he was citing and knew exactly what was needed to comply with this. they're very well may be other issues elsewhere in these houses. there is no question that there are. this is what these property owners bought into. they bought into a three it structure -- three houses that were split in 1953 in an imperfect process in an imperfect bureaucracy in an imperfect city in an imperfect world. these things can be addressed at their own time, but the thing for you now is in notice of violation. sally is ready to comply with this notice. she is ready to remove this laundry shed and that is clearly mentioned in this notice and repair the dilapidated conditions as the dis

legislation, beginning on line 18, is really just sort of a place holder for us to put in our findings as well. mr. share, after hearing from the departments, if i could make a motion -- mr. chair, we are responding to items one, two, four, five, and 6. i would make a motion that we adopt the city attorney response to finding number 1 and to recommendation on the one -- recommendation number 1. i also recommend we adopt the mayor's department of responsibility's response to finding two, four, and six, as well as their response to the recommendations for items two, four, and six, and also make a motion to adopt the department of public works' response to recommendation 5 and finding five. supervisor mar: thank you. any objections? then we have adopted those responses to the findings and recommendations. supervisor chu: i will make a motion to send this out, to send item two out, as amended, to the full board with recommendation, and to file item one. supervisor mar: without objection, so moved. is there anything else on this item, supervisor chu? thank you. thank you, everyone, for coming up, and t

mr. rush, as well. i think they should be commended. it's a nice thing to do. it's a nice statement to make. this national manufacturing strategy act. and as mr. lipinski just said, mr. speaker, it would assure, hopefully, that manufacturing remains on our national agenda. and that's about all it can do. in my humble opinion, mr. speaker, that's just about all it can do if it's 100% successful. it will assure that manufacturing remains on our national agenda. when we are sitting here in this country with 10%, nearly 10% unemployment and 16 million people out of work, many of them for more than six months, indeed that's the reason we wanted to extend unemployment coverage for 99 weeks, it's time, i think, that we need to act and act very positively, very aggressively. and you just heard, mr. speaker, from the ranking member of the committee, mr. whitfield, talk about these trade agreements that have been negotiated. in fact, two, three years ago with south korea w. colombia, with panama. and yet the democratic leadership of this house refuses to bring those trade

mr. cantor: well, i'm told and hopeful as well there will be many more nuptials on your staff, i'd say to the gentleman. with that, madam speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland. mr. hoyer: madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent that when the house adjourns today it adjourn to meet at 12:30 p.m. on monday next for morning hour debate and further, when the house adjourns on that day it adjourn to meet at 10:30 a.m. on tuesday, july 20, 2010, for morning hour debate. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. the chair will entertain requests for one-minute speeches. for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. herger: madam speaker, the federal deficit has topped $1 trillion, and there are still three months remaining in the fiscal year. spending is out of control and the president and democratic leadership have shown no sign of slowing down. americans are still asking, where are the jobs?

mr. obama as well. has the story. >> reporter: when he signs the wall street reform bill next week he'll add it to a long list headlined by health care reform and the stimulus. with so many accomplishments in just 18 months, you'd think the president would be flying high. instead, his approval rating continues to sink and now stands at just 44%. so, what's the problem? in a word, jobs. the president, who visited yet another stimulus project this one in michigan, seems powerless to do anything about an unemployment rate stuck at an excruciating 9.5%. >> what the president has been pushing is not working. washington reports filled with a bunch of fuzzy math won't chain change the fact that the stimulus is failing. >> reporter: the bad economic news has fearful democrats lashing out at each other. white house press secretary gibbs ignited a firestorm with this comment. >> i think there's no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause republicans to gain control. there's no doubt about that. >> re

mr. ellison: if the gentleman would yield. b.p. is well healed and doing fine based on the profits they have made. so i yield back. mr. garamendi: quite possibly, they are so well healed and have big profits because they cut corners that resulted in the death of i think 13 people at their oil refinery in texas and another 11 in their rig at the deep horizon situation. this is the company with the worst safety record because they cut corners. mr. ellison: if the gentleman would yield. mr. garamendi: now it's time for them to pay. mr. ellison: if the gentleman would yield. if you observed the safety rules and regulations that are designed to save lives and save our natural environment, it may take you more time and cost you monday. maybe you won't have that exorbitant profit, but you'll make more money and people will be alive so they can go home at the end of the day and we will be able to have a gulf of mexico that bears some resemblance of the way the good lord intended it to make. right behind you is a graphic photograph -- i mean look a

. >> well mr. president, a growing number of americans to share your optimism. pbs polls released this past week show this. item, obama overall job approval. 18 months ago, the new president gained 69% approval. today 43 a 26% plunge. item, handling the economy. the president has spent too little time addressing the nation's economy, 52%. the president has spent the right amount of time, 33%. the president has spent too much time, 8%. item, the $787 billion obama stimulous. the stimulous has had no affects on the economy, 56%. the stimulous has helped, 23%. the stimulous has hurt, 13%. item, recession time frame. americans predict two or more years, 75%. item, afghanistan war, two months ago, 49% of americans believed the afghanistan war was going somewhat badly or very badly. today 62% say the afghanistan war is >>> question, is the election of president obama now causing america to experience buyer's remorse? mort. >> i think in one of the cbs polls, 62% of the country think it's going in the wrong direction. the support for obama has plummeted from whenever i

mr. delahunt. i urge my colleagues to support it as well and i urge my colleagues to vote yes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia. mr. scott: i'm prepared to close. mr. smith: we have no other speakers, so i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas yields back. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. scott: this commission will study our criminal justice system to ascertain what we can do to use our resources in a most cost effective manner to reduce crime. we know that comprehensive approaches to crime work. in massachusetts, they had a comprehensive approach to juvenile crime where they had a dozen or so murders every year. they had a comprehensive approach to the problem. they reduced juvenile murders from 13 a year to zero for three consecutive years. and in pennsylvania, they invested in comprehensive programs in 100 different localities and $60 million and counted up a few years later and figured they saved over $300 million, five times more than they spent because they were effective in reducing crime and other social problems

well, mr. speaker, it's very obvious that the policies of tax and spend that were pursued during the great depression exacerbated the great depression. in fact, very famously in testimony delivered by the house ways and means committee in the fall of 1939 the treasury secretary, henry morgenthau, had these words to say, he said, we've tried spending money, we've spent more money than we've ever spent before. now after eight years of this roosevelt administration we have an unemployment that is just as high today as it was when we started and an enormous debt to boot. now, mr. speaker, if you look at the treasury secretaries of john f. kennedy, secretary douglas incidental who pursued a progrowth economic policy, you would not find him critical of president john f. kennedy's economic policy. if you look at treasury secretary james baker, who had been an opponent of ronald reagan's vision of putting into place progrowth economic policies during the 1980's or actually when he was running his frien

well mr percy if i could just turn to you now what do you make of what dr sanjay gupta said that you were only empirical experience is to have treatment of patients during the one nine hundred eighty s. she didn't find the established treatments was satisfactory and while working. well unfortunately i couldn't hear the i read or understand me so i can't comment directly on what you just said what i can say in general is the ninety nine point nine nine percent of the scientific literature says without question aids is caused by a virus human immunodeficiency virus that's number one and number two current drugs not necessarily the drugs from thirty years ago but the current antiretroviral drugs are very successful containing this disease they are not a cure. they are not a cure was a huge that on mind but there's no question the people who would have died are now being kept alive for decades because of these drugs but mr best. is not the first person that we've spoken to today he's attending this conference and the other he says it through their own experience through their own treatme

not trying but misdirected their efforts well mr hutchinson you say that the direction in which the study of aids is is wrong but much has been made at this particular conference this year about a gel for women that's claimed to help prevent aids and it's being billed as a real breakthrough is it that. no i wouldn't see it that at all and that's a very good case in point in fact of how the tragedy of this mistaken approach i saw a headline in the new york times african studies give women hope in h.i.v. fight but i looked up the detail of that study and found that it really does no such thing what what was found was a study of nearly nine hundred women in south africa there were during a period where they were followed for about eighteen months on average having received half of them receiving this this supposed virus cycle jail and half not and they found that there were ninety eight of those nine hundred women became infected supposedly and of those thirty eight have been treated with this and sixty not which is not a very big difference in itself it's claimed as being a forty percent re

well mr bowers afraid we're out of time that was journalist and historian no boy should manage joining us from washington many thanks. moving to israel now where an arab man has been sentenced to eighteen months for a rape by deception so bought it because sure tricks a woman into having sex with him by claiming to be jewish while he plans to appeal that decision and dissolve the reports even couples who choose to have interfaith relationships face this tennessee. this jewish jerusalem suburb is surrounded by arab neighborhoods and far from cultivating a culture of tolerance vigilante style jewish patrol groups calling themselves fire for judaism stand watch outside the local shopping mall their mission to prevent arab men mixing with local jewish girls the municipality has created a twenty four hour hotline where parents and friends can phone to rat on jewish girls breaking this to boot a specially trained team of counselors and psychologists is on standby to rescue them at least for more. it's important to save our traditions culture history and identity because without this who are

well. i thank you, mr. chairman, for making sure that that is the case. >> an opening statement, two minutes, please. >> no other state has been more affected by the bp disaster than my home state of louisiana. we battled the affects each and every day. but make no mistake, the effects of this disaster is reaching beyond the louisiana state line but the jobs being lost now or american jobs, and the marshlands where the oil continues to infiltrate our american wetlands and the first line of defense against hurricanes and storms. mms, just weeks before the explosion, certify that the rig in the block for better met safety requirements and was allowed to keep operating. if the plot provider was intended to be the last line of the -- if the blowout preventer was intended to be the last line of defense, the regulatory agency was intended to be the first line of defense. president obama and his administration are taking what is already a human and environmental tragedy and turning it into an economic tragedy by c

mr. dobbins? >> well, all wars do end. i think karzai continues to enjoy a really almost unique degree of international support. there are obviously reservations, and there are concerns. >> lehrer: the people on the ground, you mean? >> again, i'm saying international support. >> lehrer: international support. >> i mean virtually every major power in the world supports karzai, supports the nato presence. the only country that has any real reservations is pakistan which is indeed a serious problem. still it's rather isolated in that regard. i think in terms of domestic support, again, his numbers are probably better than our own president's so we have to put this in some perspective but they have fallen. he had 90% popularity ratings when he went into office. he's been in office now for a long time, since 2001. nine years. and he has faced very large problems. some of his own making, as the professor has indicated. this is eroded his support. but it's still quite a respectable level. but finally i do agree that we do need t

regulator which is a shame and is a reflection of where we are particular off to what when mr markopoulos as well referenced the made off case it just seems as though. in order to get the price higher it's going to be a case of investors taking physical delivery as opposed to the regulates doing anything about it so you don't see much of a role in terms of the exchange traded funds in this big manipulation question you think j.p. morgan as they're being. can. alleged to be manipulating these markets there's a good case for it certainly they've got a huge position something like thirty thousand contracts that well i mean i don't know what they'd be hedging with that contract because unless they found a planet somewhere in the outer rings of the solar system made entirely of some thing that would put so rather business i'm not sure it seems our cosmically short position that makes no economic sense and going forward you think the only way to bust the manipulation cartel is for folks to take physical delivery wasn't there a move about six months ago didn't sprout asset management wasn't very vocal i

mr. dodd: well, madam president, let me thank my colleague from alabama once again. i say this with respect, but i almost feel like i'm listening to the same speech i heard back in november when i offered the original proposal of this bill. i'm wondering whether or not we have been in the same chamber, in the same city over the last several years. i'm not going to go in the time between now and 11:00 a.m. when we'll vote on the cloture motion. i won't go through the long list here, page after page after page of amendments that were adopted as part of this bill offered by my good friends on the minority side. 80 hearings held over two years. countless efforts to reach out and bring people in. you can make a lot of accusations i suppose about the bill, but this was a very inclusive process. half the amendments that were adopted on the floor of this chamber during the consideration of the four weeks were ones offered by the minority were accepted and bipartisan amendments. there was never an alternative offered. there was never a substitute offered. it was really a ques

>> well, mr. dudley is from mississippi, which is a step in the right direction, but at the same time, mr. dudley did represent just a month ago that the relief well could be completed as soon as tomorrow, and tomorrow actually happens to be the day when the last quarterly financial report of bp is going to be made public, so i actually don't like the fact that they picked the date, which is something that they're not going to meet, as a coincidence, that it dealt with the financial report because ultimately i believe many people in the gulf of mexico and the united states believe that bp has been much too interested in its own liability and not enough in the liveability of the gulf of mexico. mr. dudley now has to turn the page and move beyond the era that mr. hayward presided over. >> well, you've certainly been at the forefront. and we'll see what happens at the board meeting with bp today, and i'm sure we'll be talking with you again on down the road. congressman markey, thank you very much fo
