brown brown -- ms. brown: yes, sir. i used to like this program, sergeant joe friday, and he would say the facts, madam chairman, just the facts. and i have a few facts about the european union emissions trade scheme or scam or however you want to call it. the u.s. airline would be required to pay for a carbon alliance for all segments of flights between the united states and europe. for example, a flight from los angeles to a european city, airlines would be liable for emissions over the u.s., canada and international waters. two, fees for carbon alliance under the system would be paid directly to e.u.'s member states without obligations to be used for aviation emission impact. the e.u. tax rye slates u.s. sovereignty -- tax violates u.s. sovereignty by imposing liability on u.s. airlines for operating in the u.s. national air space system, additional the president obama's administration testified before the house committee on transportation and infrastructure that the e.u.'s tax is inconsistent with international avia

ms. duffy. i want you to comment possibly on the ohio senate race with brown and any potential s who run. i think mccaskill's race is on this year. i do not think the new mexico race will be as competitive with heather wilson. that lt. gov. that they have is a pretty strong fundraiser and i just want to hear your comments on all of that. guest: while ohio is not on the list of tossups today i expect it will get there eventually. sherrod brown elected in 2006 will probably face the state treasurer, josh mendel. he's about 33 years old and is a tireless campaigner. i think he has raised close to $4 million since he of gotten in this race. think this will be erase a real contrasts. it will be one of biography like someone who has been in service most of his life and that his young age has done two tours in iraq and was elected treasurer in 2010. this has the makings of a good race. we talked about missouri a little bit but i do think mccaskill has a race because the nature of the state is starting to tilt more republican and it is a state obama did not win in 2008. new mexico, let's see who

brown interrupted her and got to the heart of the matter. sew "so i guess my original question is, what type of budgetary and accounting experience do you have?" ms. higginbottom respond that she was not an accountant and that her goal was to implement the president's policy agenda through the budgetary process. i would note that the president's policy agenda seems to be primarily to continue extraordinary new and expanded investments -- spending -- in many, many areas of our government. after opportunity to prove that she was qualified through prehearing questions and through testimony at two confirmation hearings, she was voted out of the homeland security and budget committees on a party-line vote. our democratic colleagues in both committees voted her out with the majorities that they had. because of her lack of experience, not one republican voted for her. so now a number of my colleagues have argued that the criticism is based on lack of -- not lack of experience but on her age, that somehow she's being unfairly treated because of that. and she is young -- young for this job. but the age allegation is not correct. after her confirmation hea

ms. duffy with the cook report. few questions, i want you to comment possibly on the ohio senate race with brown and his potential against. also, i wanted to know your opinion on the senator from missouri's race. i don't think that new mexico race is going to be as competitive with heather wilson. they may not come out of that primary. because that lieutenant governor that they have is a pretty strong fundraiser and i want to hear your comments on all of that. guest: while ohio is not on our toss-up list today, i expect it will get there eventually. senator brown elected in 2006 is going to face the likely republican nominee, who is the state treasurer, josh mandel. probably 33, 34 years old. tireless campaigner and has blown people away with his ability to raise money. i think he has raised close to $4 million, which is pretty impressive. i think this is going to be a race of real contrast. ideological contrast. brown is a real progressive. man dell is conservative. going to be one of biography. somebody like sherrod brown who has been in public service most of his life. mandel has done two hours in iraq and been in the

ms. sewell: i remember so many commemorations of the march from selma to montgomery, always culminated on that sunday when they commemorate bloody sunday at my church. i can remember often seeing rev repped shuttlesworth at brown chapel, crossing the pettus bridge that he did so often in those commemorations. my last time seeing him, he participated in a faith and politics luncheon we had this past year. this past march. when i was so honored to co-host that faith and politics pilgrimage back to alabama with congressman lewis. i know many that my generation owes a debt of gratitude to the freedom riders, the folk the civil rights activists such as rev repped shuttlesworth and john lewis, we owe so much to them. we not only stand on their shoulders but pay honor and tribute to them always. they fought the good fight so people like us could go to ivy league schools and walk the halls of congress. i'm forever grateful for their courage and their sacrifice. i am equally thrilled to now yield minutes to congressman john lewis of georgia. the gentleman from georgia is not only one of my own personal heroes, and will not only speak to knowing fred shuttlesworth personally and talk of the times in the 1960's they shar
