during the summer months, wilson and mrs. wilson enjoyed this room, taking in the sun, going through his mail and reading up on the latest newspapers. they had a small radio set, where wilson could listen to the broadcasts of baseball games.he. through here, howeves ng rm. woodrow wilson was a very formal man. the table not being fully dressed, and since he had suffered the stroke in 1919, it was a grueling activity for him to be dressed in his dinner jacket and formally attired and then able to sit through the rigors of a three-hour meal. so wilson would generally excuse himself from dinner after guests were entertained in the library. perhaps viewed a film in the library, and then edith wilson would have her seat here and preside over dinners. as she does with the portrait hanging over the dining room of the house. a lot has been said about edith wilson and her stewardship of the country. and it was really the stewardship of woodrow wilson in that period after wilson's illness. the cabinet member was running their agencies, congre

mr. wilson. sultant who specializes specifically in security planning, staff training, and plan implementation. mr. bradley has planned a subsequent security plan, which he submitted. we have it available. it was also distributed to officer mccarthy. both mr. wilson and mr. bradley are going to speak tonight, and we will be available for any questions you have. the second priority has been to reach out to establish communications and to take steps to address their concerns. specifically, we began with çmeeting with supervisor of a los -- supervisor avalos. we have met with him several times to update him and get him familiar with our applicant. we walk the neighborhood and spoke with merchants, neighbors. we attended the merchants and residents association meetings. iÑt(we did achievement of the project at the association meeting. every day we did the treatment of the project of the association meeting here again we discussed our security plan and working relationship with sfpdym. we agreed to

the french ambassador sent this tapestry over to mrs. wilson to chose after she returned from her honeymoon. ike hoover who was the famous celebrated usher, chief usher at the white house for over 40 years called mrs. wilson down and said, madam, the french ambassador is here, and he has some gifts for you to chose as a wedding gift. edith says, oh, well, by all means, escort the ambassador upstairs, and hoover said, no, madam. you'll need to come down to the east room. that should have been an indication that it was no small gift. the ambassador had brought along three tapestries here at the united states at the panama pacific exposition in san francisco in 1915. wilson, we may add, opened the panama canal in 1915 to trade. in the french pavilion were these works of france including these tapestries. so edith came down to the east room and the usher had rolled out these beautiful full length tapestries, and the ambassador said, please, choose whichever that you like, and she was particularly fond of this one, which actually depicts a marriage

mr. wilson? >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for being here today. i share the concern. the american people need to know this, that what's being proposed is a reduction of 80,000 personnel in the army, 20,000 marines, 10,000 personnel of the air force. i am truly concerned at a time of war that we would have these reductions, which i think is going to put american families at risk. those serving in the military and the american public as large. it's inconceivable every day, we read of another threat to our country of instability around the world. additionally, mr. secretary, i know you're having to make tough choices. and in particular, though, i identify with veterans. i served 31 years in the army, and i'm just grateful for my service and the commitment and dedication and commitments to veterans, too, commitments from and to. but i'm very concerned that the administration is proposing cost increases on health care for military retirees. and these are extraordinary. for tricare prime, that a proposal for fy-13 increases enrollment fees from 30% to 78%. over five years,

mr. wilson told me. if you look at what that stock is doing today certainly a big day mr. wilson telling me he is very optimistic now that the drug will be approved. the fda doesn't always have to follow the advisory panel but in most cases does so he is very optimistic the drug will be approved. he also says the approval was a major hurdle to overcome, in his words, says now they're targeting april 17th for that formal approval by the fda. again, we do have a date in which the company is looking towards now. april 17th for formal approval of the drug buy the fda is what the company hopes. also i asked him, look, if you didn't get this drug or you can't get it approved, what does it mean for the company? could you survive without it? he says in fact yes we could. he does admit it is a game changer for his company. says they've spent ten years and hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get that drug approved. also says they will be opportunistic in raising money to fuel those marketing efforts. i asked him really when you look at this company all of the money you have spe

mr. wilson? >> thank you, mr. chairman. and thank you both for being here. as an army veteran, i'm particularly happy to see the venue today additionally, i am very grateful to represent fort jackson. i soon will be having a geographic presence adjacent to fort gordon. and so it's really exciting. and then i have got three sons serving in the army national guard. so i appreciate your service. and mr. secretary, i'm very grateful to be seated in the john mchugh seat, chair and so it's a great honor to follow you in supporting military personnel. so thank you so much for your service. and general odierno, one of the highlights of my congressional service, we knew of your success in iraq. but when we came to be briefed and you came up with a diagram of what appeared to be the state of virginia, and you explained that this indicates a high level of violence where northern virginia would be the height. but then the surgery and it led to the eastern shore. so it was a diagram that could be understood by anyone. so your success is just greatly appreciated by me. wi

mr. wilson. you're on my dance card and you'll come up first next time. madame secretary, before we adjourn, i'd like to know that since you've announced publicly you do not intend to serve beyond the end of this term, this is your final appearance to testify on the budget before our committee. i'd like to thank you again so deeply for making yourself available to answer our questions today. and during the past three years and i hope that we have the opportunity to host you again for other testimony prior to the conclusion of your exemplary service. i thank you. meeting is adjourned. >> secretary clinton wraps up her second day on capitol hill testifying on the state department budget for 2013. she was on the senate side yesterday before the senate foreign relations committee. you can see that hearing as well as today's on our website c-span.org. earlier today, the house transportation committee held a hearing on cruise ship safety. two survivors of the costa concordia wreck testified. here's some of that testimony. >> thank you, mr. chairman. first of al

mr. wilson talked about task force smith. when i talk about the decrease of brigade formations we're having can you talk to us about the ramifications as you see as far as combat tours of duty. some of these effects that we see with social issues we just talked about relates to the amount of tours that our young men and women are having to serve in these combat zones of operations. so have we looked at the ramifications of what could happen with maybe increased tours in combat zones? >> congressman, thank you very much. in terms of -- we've looked very carefully at this as we decided where to take force structure out. because we're now out of iraq and imade a significant disturbance in the up tempo of our combat forces and now that we're starting to reduce our presence in afghanistan that's also impacted that. so we feel that as we grew the army in the mid-2000s to meet those requirements, now that they are going away we now have the right force structure to be asked to do what we're currently doing. as i said earlier, where

mr. wilson's family? >>randy: it is horrible but we are lawyers and we are put on --. >>shepard: i'll never forget that. >>randy: if it were us, we would be the first to reach out to, your lawyer. brilliant. >>shepard: if we you needed to tell. next legal topic a week after kodak filed for bankruptcy protection, kodak, stunning, right, an employee is suing the company's executives and board. the suit claims that the officials knew very well kodak was struggling and the oversight of employee retirement plans cost workers and retirees tens of millions. but kodak officials deny the allegation. so, basically, what they are saying is, kodak people knew, they protected themselves, but they let the employees go down the drain. randy? >>randy: there is a disconnect. typically what you see in a situation like this, you have the higher ups knowing the company is about to tank so they are selling all of their stock. there is no allegation that those board of director members, the members of the board, were doing that. it is a situation where the board obviously knew something was

mr. wilson, if i could just jump in. if you can get granular for me, what areas of the country are the most attractive for you right now? >> i haven't had much opportunity to watch tv for the last few years, but the ones that are emerging, they're all quite interesting to us. we're working in the ohio/pennsylvania area. we're working at a couple plays in texas and louisiana, a couple wildcat ideas that we're working much like we had when we discovered the eagleford shale, so we're not finding a shortage of things to look at nor a shortage of things where we think technology will be appropriate. >> what role do you think politics plays in this, sir? >> what are you thinking about? >> i would go for ronald reagan. there's a great bunch of people out there, but politics doesn't seem to be any great friend to the oil and gas sector here in the u.s. very often. with el deal with it, and we'll continue to deal with it. >> i knew there was a reason i liked him. >> and we're seeing balkan oil at $71 a barrel. i'm curious if that

mr. wilson: mr.peaker, last week i was grateful to be part of a congressional delegation led by chairman david dreier that established a partnership with the plarlment of kurdistan. -- parliament of kurdistan. we traveled as -- kurdistan. we traveled to build stronger legislatures. following parliamentry elections in 2010, they completed the first peaceful transation after an open and competitive election. the new president is committed to parliamentry democracy. under the leadership of speaker hasselbeck, the parliament and the h.t.p. will work together to strengthen committee operations, budget analysis, constituent relations, and other institutional reforms. it's a bright star in central asia with a growing economy, dedicated president, the prestigious american youth of central asia, and a dynamic parliamentarian membership working with an engaged population to establish a democracy. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the spea

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, yesterday the president released his budget for 2013 which calls for a cut in defense spending for the first time since 1998. by almost $500 billion. it is clear the president is simply taking resources away from our military capabilities and using the funds to grow the size of government to promote more unsustainable domestic programs. putting senior citizens at risk of a devalued dollar and burdening young people and college students with crushing debt. instead of focusing on stopping defense cuts sequestration, the president is putting our national security at risk and our allies in jeopardy during a time of international instability. cutting our defense budget with record breaking tax increases destroying jobs will not reduce the national deficit but only a diversion of funds. i urge the president to recognize the primary function of the national government is national to the defense to provide peace through strength. in conclusion, god bless our troops, we will never for

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker: without objection, so ordered. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, baker spring of the prestigious heritage foundation recently warned, quote, it is clear that the fiscal year 2013 defense budget will not provide the u.s. military with the resources it needs. even more problematic is that oil reductions to the defense budget are front loaded and therefore will have a significant and immediate implication for readiness, modernization programs and research and development, end of quote. our service members, their families and veterans have dedicated their lives to this country. house republicans understand that in order to keep american families safe we must fight to stop these reductions. i look forward to working with house armed services committee chairman buck mckeon to find ways to promote the proven path of peace through strength. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we w

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask permission to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, for three years, americans have watched the president as he tried to borrow and spend his way out of an economic recession. his failed policies have failed this nation with unemployment still over 8%. the washington examiner stated, quote, what this country needs is an honest leader who will tell the truth about our entitlement spending crisis and identify real reforms. but obama's latest budget does none of that. instead, he offerses double doses of tax hikes and crony capitalism. america deserves better, end of quote. over the past year, house republicans have passed dozens of pieces of legislation that decrease spending, provide tax cut and encourage job creation through private sector job growth. i urge the president and the liberal senate to work with house republicans to support legislation that promot

mr. chairman. chairman wilson, ranking member davis, chairman whitman and ranking member cooper and members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to present our findings from our review of oversight and management of arlington national cemetery. as you know, we issued our report on the management and oversight of arlington on december 15th of last year. my testimony is based on our report, and i will make two points today. first, i'll discuss the policies and procedures that the current leadership team at arlington put in place to begin to address the deficiencies that became apparent, and i'll identify some of our recommendations to assist in that endeavor and secondly discuss factor that could potentially affect the feasibility and advisability of transferring arlington from the army to the department of veterans affairs. the v.a. here's the bottom line -- i think it is fair to say the current leadership team at arlington has taken many positive steps at the cemetery curre

mr. wilson: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. wilson: madam speaker, last wednesday the house passed the fiscal responsibility and retirement security act of 2011. a bill which repeals a new program and the government health care takeover bill. during the health care debate, the president and congressional liberals said this program would save taxpayers $80 billion. however now internal evidence reveals that the administration was aware that the program was, quote, a recipe for disaster. the 2,700-page obama bill was rammed through congress, just like cash for clunkers. the president and his liberal colleagues included unworkable programs into an unpopular bill to gain enough votes for passage. the class program is yet another example of how this administration supports programs that are political gimmicks as identified by bill walker as being a free ticket but no show. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we'll never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speak

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, on january 4, the president abused his exec tough authority and appointed three new members of the national labor relations board claiming a recess appointment, but the senate was not in recess. by making this decision, the president ignored the senate's confirmation and practice outlined by article 1, section 5 of the united states constitution. earlier today the house education and work force committee ably led by chairman john kline -- john kleine, held a hearing on this conduct. the president has used the national labor relations board as a big labor bully to advance his political agenda and threaten the jobs of america's small businessings. due to the -- businesses. due to the legal uncertainty of the president's appointments, each decision of the board could allow for legal challenges costing job creators and taxpayers more money. house republicans will work to protect hardworking taxpayers from this administration's failed policies which are destroying jobs. in conclus

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the president's blue ribbon commission which was tasked with making recommendations for dealing with our country's nuclear waste recently issued their findings. after conducting a two-year study, the commission discovered that measures must be taken to deal with nuclear waste currently in interim storage at 121 sites across the country. the editorial response by the aiken standard to this anemic obvious conclusion is summarized by one word, duh. we have known for decades that this waste must be properly dealt with and discarded in a proper setting. the scientific community has determined that yucca mountain is the ideal location for a safe national repository. the president and the liberal control senate must quit playing political games and allow the nuclear regulatory commission to finish analyzing the licensed permit. it's time to let science dictate policy not politics. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget spetch and the global war on terrorism. --

mr. wilson: mr. speaker i ask permission to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker: without objection, so ordered. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, earlier this week a gallup poll was released which sadly stated that 85% of small business owners surveyed were not looking for new employees. 66% cite the economic recession. 48% blame rising health care cost due to the government takeover health care bill. and 40% are worried about new government regulations. these statistics show that the president's policies are failing america's small business owners. the president continues to support policies that are destroying jobs. according to f.i.b., obamacare alone will destroy six million jobs. over the past year, house republicans have passed dozens of legislation to allow small business owners to gain confidence to begin hiring again. i urge my colleagues in the liberal-controlled senate and the president to support these initiatives and help put american families back to

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, last friday the national bureau of labor statistics released its jobs report for the month of january and revealed that our nation's unemployment rate continues to be above 8%. marking the 36th consecutive month of record high unemployment. dr. peter marisi, a business school professor at the university of maryland, recently stated on fox news that, quote, if you factor in part-time workers who would prefer full-time positions, the unemployment rate becomes 15.6%. factoring in college graduates in low-skilled positions like counter work at starbuck's the unemployment rate is sadly closer to 20%, end of quote. these statistics provide further evidence that the president's policies are failing to provide job creation. i hope the president and the liberal controlled senate will work with the house republicans on the 30 bills that we have already passed for job creation through private sector growth which are currently held in the senate. in conclusion, god bless our troops and w

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, throughout his campaign for the white house, the president made an empty promise to cut our deficit in half by the end of his first term. earlier this week the congressional budget office announced its projection that the president's failed policies sadly have more than doubled the annual debt. our debt has increased by almost $5 trillion over the last three years. this statistic shows that throughout the presidency of the current president, the president's recklessly spent the tax dollars of hardworking american families. the "wall street journal" stated, quote, to sum it all up the c.b.o.'s facts plainly show that mr. obama has the worst fiscal record of any president in modern times. no one else even comes close, end of quote. at a time when americans are searching for jobs, the president must follow through with this promise for the american people and work with both houses of congress to stop washington's out-of-control borrowing and spending. in conclusion, god bless ou

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, in his 2008 campaign during an interview with the san fran chronicle, the president promised -- san francisco chronicle, the president promised energy rates would necessarily skyrocket, end of quote, under his policies. since february of 2009, the price of gas has jumped from $1.92 per gallon to an outrageous $3.72 per gallon. hardworking americans continue to watch as a substantial amount of each paycheck is diverted by rising energy costs, destroying jobs. although the president claims to have changed his policies, his decision to terminate the keystone pipeline project from canada shows that he remains dedicated to his campaign promise. house republicans are focused on helping americans feel relief at the pump by supporting legislation that expands supply and allows for the continuation of the keystone pipeline. i urge the president to put party politics aside, work with house republicans to find ways to lower energy costs which is necessary for american families. in concl

i have one of my two winners of those -- mrs. wilsonr sure, but also, dolley madison who faced a terrible crisis when the white house was burned in 1814. she had a lot of influence on how the president himself was viewed. she started "hail to the chief" to be played when the president entered the room. thank you very much. host: bill believes lady bird was the first to use tv and radio to do public service. daniel, democratic caller. good morning. caller: good morning to you. i think it is hillary clinton. when her husband was in the controversy, she stayed focused. she kept a straight ahead about everything. i think hillary clinton is the woman i would choose. host: did you feel that way when she was in office? does this take a little while for history to reflect on? caller: when she was in office, she stayed focused. even though the media was slamming her husband she stayed focused. that's why i am happy she is the secretary of state. like other young girls, i think they should follow her as an example. despite anything that goes on i

mr. wilson: madam speaker, national review editor rich lowry stated that the president's budget quote, is built on gimmicks and spurious assumptions that support a massive superstructure of new taxes and new debt. it's a blueprint for national decline, end of quote. the president's budget request called for the biggest tax increase and accumulates the largest debt in our nation's history. over the past three year, this administration has spent more money than ever before and increased our national debt by almost $5 trillion. our unemployment rate has consistently remained above 8% for 36 months. it is clear that borrowing and spend manager money will not create jobs. it is pastime for the president and the liberal controlled senate to come together and support house republican efforts to put american families back to work. dozens of job-promoting bills have passed the house, sadly held up in the senate graveyard. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from calif

mr. obama himself. in august of 2007 obama told woodrow wilson center for international callers that as president he would jettison the guantanamo military commission. trying to terrorists, guantanamo was the perfect failure. mr. obama vowed to close guantanamo and reject the military commission and adhere to the geneva convention. demonstrating to all the world that law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers and justice is not arbitrary. election campaigns are aspirational, the challenge confronting presidents is practical but mr. obama insisted a series of reforms carried out after he took office put the guantanamo commission on par with federal courts and military courts in terms of constitutional safeguards the logic alone refutes this and standards are equal, why do we need both? more of a military tribunal historically object of last resort rather than political convenience as they appear to be today. it exudes the width of an administration cherry picking the venue which seems likely to produce a favored outcome. hardly the evidence of the judicial system be politicized. by allowing for a p
