mr. miller and mr. klein to respond to. in a stunning betrayal of america's highly vulnerable retiree community, members of congress and their letter was written on the third of december as well. they are preparing legislation for the lame duck session to overturn a key tenant of the employee retirement income act. we know it as arissa, and allow drastic cuts to the pensions of current retirees. the legislation, which is being brokered behind closed doors by members of the house, education and work force committee would be attached to the spending bill and could take effect without opportunity for hearings or public content. their quote is, this is nothing less than a declaration of war by congress on american retirees. that was a quote of the iam international president tom buffingbarger. it's the wrong way to do it. does anyone doubt the trustees of such plans will not jump at the opportunity to improve the bottom line at the expense of their retired workers? the long standing promise of a secure pension system must not b

mr. miller and mr.klein as was pointed out the pension benefit guarantee is expected to be bankrupt in six years. it puts workers and unions at great risk, not to take action and of course, the fact that mr. klein and mr. miller can agree on a reasonable action to take is testimony to their dedication to the cause. there's not great political rewards for doing this, it's the discussion of doing the right thing. i would like a letter of support, people who sign the letter of support. among those who have extended their support of this reform are service employees international union, operating engineers, plumbers, carpenters, joiners, food and commercial workers, painters and allied trades, a number of other group that is added their voice, not joyfully, but out of necessity to the need to reform these programs. i thank both the gentlemen for their hard work on doing this. moving to the budget, i wanted to ask mr. rogers, approximately $1.1 trillion in spending. how much is deficit spending in the bill?

mr. miller conclude a great career. a little bit first about george miller, as has been pointed out, he's a progressive he, has fought for the environment. he's been the leader in the natural resources committee, he's fought to protect public lands such as in the 1994 california desert protection act and created death valley national park and joshua tree. he was chief sponsor of the central valley improvement act of 1992 also to protect the fish and wildlife. i came also to the legislature, to the congress after chairing education in california and george miller was a champion and a leader here. we all looked up to him as was pointed out already. his great work on helping to draft no child left behind, great supporter of school modernization and community college. finally about george, passion, umor, respected by all, a zest for political combat. on the other hand, we can say, let's say what people say about my good friend henry waxman. henry, like myself, had grandparents who were jewish immigrants. we both served in t

mrs. miller: mr. speaker, certainly protecting and preserving the great lakes has always been a principal advocacy of mine through my entire tenure in office and before public office. i grew up on the great lakes. my family was in the marina business. so the lakes were more than a source of recreation for us. they put food on the table for my family. like many in the region, they are part of our part of identity. we heard the passion we all have for these magnificent, magnificent great lakes. as has been said, they generate billions of dollars each and every year through fishing, through the shipping industry, recreational activities as well. they're 20% of the fresh water drinking supply on the entire planet, quite frankly. unfortunately, mr. speaker, we have not been the best stewards of these magnificent lakes, and we do owe it to future generations to help assure that they are protected, that preserved. and one great way to do this for the great lakes is to -- for this continued funding and suppor

mr. miller. i am fairly interested in your views about calvin coolidge. host: calvin coolidge.uest: he provided over one of the longest expansions of economic prosperity in american history, and one of the debates or knocks against the whole presidential rating game is that it has been hijacked by ds, democrats, or rs, republicans, in the serviced of narrow partisan agenda. i mean coolidge was coolidge a great president? no. did calvin coolidge not get sufficient credit for his accomplishments? perhaps, and the republicans would argue that, in fact, one of the reasons that the presidential rating game over the years have been dominated largely by liberal progressive professors at universities, and i think that point, even though i think it's to a somewhat exaggerated, there is a fair amount of truth in the perceptions of who rates the presidents and how, in fact, they are perceived over time, and, yes, it has become very much a partisan zam. calfin coolage, i think, to some degree fell victim to it. >> it's good >> host: politics has a much nastier than it is compared to histor

mr. miller, there is. you create tax revenue with economic growth, not higher taxes. just like you create jobs, create economic activity, getting -- again, that rising tide that lifts all boats enables us to invest in the future of our country and roads and bridges, our schools, and all the things that people want for this great nation. but it comes from a growing economy. and, of course, that's what creates the jobs that we need for our families across america. so when we talk about the tax increase prevention act, that's what we're talking about. we're talking about making sure here at the end of the year that taxes don't go up. that taxes don't go up on hardworking taxpayers across this country, that taxes don't go up on our small businesses across the country and that we understand that that is truly the backbone of our economy, that all those people and all those small businesses are the ones that make our economy go every day, every minute of every day. so it's time to act. it's time to act. the votes are here. the votes are here on a bipartisan basis in this bo

mr. miller, my question is, in your research for your book, did you find that presidents before eisenhower, where they attacked as viciously as presidents have been since by hecklers and things of that sort? guest: it is fascinating. i would say we have not come quite full circle, but the viciousness that characterized late 18th century american politics, the competitiveness, the slander, they took their arguments out on the streets. alexander hamilton probably never could have become president. but he was shot and killed in a dual with aaron burr. the reality is the kind of rhetoric that was hurled at presidents, andrew jackson's wife, rachel, was called a whore. one of fdr's wealthy friends vowed to go to the bahamas and never come back until the end of the fdr presidency. he was so angry at the type of policies that fdr was going to pursue. lincoln was called a gorilla. these sorts of comments reflected politics that were much nastier than the ones we experience today. the difference is that the media ends up driving the argument. when the president of the united states has to respond t

mr. secretary, for those direct answers. i yield back. >> chair recognizes miss miller from michigan. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. good morning, mr. secretary. appreciate your attendance here this morning. obviously there is a huge divide, certainly in congress, and i think out there in the heartland, as well, about whether or not this is a constitutional overreach by the president. and just listening to your testimony, and i read through your testimony last night, and hearing you answer some of the questions, you obviously had a very, heavy, heavy, heavy reliance on the olc's opinion, the 33-page opinion that they issued in here through mr. holder's department of justice. and you said, i wrote a note when you said that they were very, very thorough. but yet it seems to me that the questions that you did ask them were specifically tailored, the three questions that you asked the olc, were very specific in nature, and perhaps there were some questions that you could have asked that you did not. but i would just -- could you tell us the process in which you actually asked these three specific questions of the olc?
