this is a national problem. we have to work much harder, and we should take this- this report that sahmsa did, should take this report for the wakeup call for which it is. wow, the national recovery month press conference here at the national press club- exciting, exciting opportunity. i'm very familiar with the press. believe it or not, i received a little press a few times in my active addiction. you laugh, but it's true. but i think the important thing is, now i am getting press as a result of my recovery, about sharing my recovery story with others. this annual event is so important because in addition to alerting americans about the dangers and trends of drug abuse, we must also educate them about the reality of recovery. having people like me who've been through the trials of addiction and found recovery, telling our stories, it's an important part of broadening social- social understanding and building broad public support for our cause. this is the 21st annual observance of national alcohol and drug addi

under national level give us an example of how the e.u. is wasting money first of all we have to look across a member of the european parliament we have to look at the expenses of the european parliament itself and there is a very good example a very simple example why the european parliament should have two seats one in brussels and the other one in strasbourg it costs additional almost three hundred million a few rolls per year if you have to move once in a six week from brussels to strasbourg so let's have only one seat and we can give and we can show my perfect example to the people of europe that we are able to save the taxpayers money how is the european union hurting business we can see a lot of legal acts that have been adopted by the european parliament prepared by the european commission that in fact are not helping very much to a business environment in the european union that are not very business friendly so say we would like to remove at least some of them we would like to have a liberal free market not a market which is bond

be doing for the nation. i look at this, this is off the coast of libya. you have the disaster that took place, and all of these things, i have this nexus of budget reality. this is where i am paying close attention. i do not think that we will be able to do everything that everyone wants in the future. what does the nation want? and who can provide this? what services can be provided and what are we going to pay for. what can we not do? because we cannot afford this? this is so important. this is the important part because if we say that this is important, and we want the department to do this, these things to this degree, and then we lay this on top of fiscal reality, and we say that we can only do this much, we will no longer be able to do this. and whenever we do the real operations around the world, there is always a risk with every single thing that happens. there are pieces of rest. and they have to ask yourself the question, i can ignore this or is there a way to mitigate this? is there a hedge, or so

where over the last 50 years, nation after nation after nation have seen economic growth and development coupled with a variety of other kinds of social improvement, whether it's education, whether technology, whether it's infrastructure in which nations have dined of expanded -- kind of expanded. particularly in asia. done a pretty good job. but with the advanced communications of today's technology, millions and millions of people are discovering how far behind they are. they're not happy about how far behind they are. now, there are some countries in the middle east that have dealt with this more successfully than others. we're not seeing the so-called con taij on spread to those countries because there's a recognition that that is being addressed by those governments. so i think it's -- we really have to capture the importance of the economic value creation of energy production and then make sure that that economic value gets dealt with productively in societies so that everyone can see a way forward. >> i'll ask several and then you can choose the sequence in which you wish to answe

and was the cia, it was our nsa, national security agency, the in g8, the national geospatial folks, together putting the focus is on the table to slow the and surely tighten the noose and how we found osama bin laden. i was briefed on this as taking the chairmanship back in early january, and there was a very small number of people, purposefully so, who got to see all of the pieces put in one place. so there's even elements of the intelligence committee that didn't really know that they are working towards this final goal. and at the very end of it, the most dangerous part i would suspect, when the announced the special forces that they were going to go on a particular mission to get ready to go and told them of their target apparently there was a loud and thunderous cheer, which tells you the quality and commitment and courage of our special forces that they were excited at the prospect of bringing justice to the person who masterminded the slaughter of 3,000 innocent americans on u.s. soil. so that was i think a very, very, very indicative - place for us to go when it comes to the

we did a national broadband plan.e developed a successful partnership, bringing our complementary expertise to the table to help small businesses around the country accelerate their moves online. we are focusing on how small businesses can protect themselves. we are working with s.c.o.r.e. to distribute this material in the effective ways s.o.r.e. has developed over many years. we have partnered with organizations like the national urban league, the national black chamber of commerce, the national hispanic chambeof commerce to distribute these materials. we have a partnership with an organization called n.i.c.e., which runs the stop, think, connect campaign, designed to raise awareness about the need to strengthen cyber security and generate and communicate new approaches and strategies to help americans increase their safety and security online. all these initiatives are collaborations with the people in this room. as thecc's broadband plan emphasize, there is tremendous power i the government and private sector comi

party in the whole issue of nationalism scotland has always been in support there has no truck with violence or disorder in any shape or form and so we do have. you to equally read a part two of the left of center where we want to make scotland the better of our field of police we want to make sure that those who have the most contribute the most so we loot with envy and indeed friendship to scandinavia and to political parties not just national parties but parties of the same to the left of the globe and what about being an inspiration for those left. but again it's for the people of those countries to say what they want to do we would never support a can do in violence in any shape or form clearly if other countries wish to pursue an agenda then they'll get a great deal of sympathy from other suit only violence would not be tolerated in shape or form and we've been elected to mind this one is to pursue clean for independent scotland and the right for the referendum equally we can relate to the government to make scotland the better police and we seek to do that by driving our econ

a bill regarding national -- arlington national cemetery.numents within arlington national cemetery. it would limit the erection of monuments not containing interned remains. these changes bring requirements in better core with the primary purpose of the cemetery, to honor our fallen service members. h.r. 1441, which i have introduced, and included in h.r. 1627, as amended, would codify the regulations and policies barring reservations for burial at arlington national cemetery. after being informed by a constituent of potential problems of past mismanagement at the cemetery including laxed oversight, damaged graves, improper burials, i met with the superintendent of arlington seminary and the executive director of arlington -- of the army national cemetery's program in march who helped me to quickly address the concerns of my constituent. h.r. 1627 would give mr. helleman and the executive director stewardship of some of the most sacred ground. the space at arlington cemetery is very limited so we must plan accordingly. it ensures that our n

below the national average.that has to do with our farm economy and a lot has to do with innovative companies but we have done it all with a renewable standard in place 25% by 2025, we have done it all with a significant push on ethanol and biofuels an wind and -- and wind and solar. i say this can be a model for the rest of the country, mr. president. our nation as a whole has an unemployment rate of 8.8%. gas prices are approaching record levels. we continue to send $730 million a day to foreign countries. many of which have been known to funnel money to terrorists to meet our basic fuel needs. that's $730 million a day for fuel that we send to other countries. i think we should be investing in the farmers and the workers of the midwest instead of the oil cartels of the middle east. whether it is electric car factories, or electric car factories in your home state of ohio, mr. president, that is the future. it is not continuing to send millions of dollars a day to the middle east. each of the provisions in thi

, in other nations. one of the misconceptions about canada is that canada has fewer firearms and the united states. they do have i think numerically probably fewer firearms. it is a hunting society, and there are a lot of guns -- [inaudible] >> percentage of ownership is quite high. i'm not sure if it's higher, but i will trust you if you know. and so, that to me makes it even more important to understand the sort of cultural differences in underlying currents of violence. it's a difficult question. there are other societies that have proportions of gun ownership. sweden, every household has a long gun in it because men serve in the mushy and trained. height numbers of guns in these societies, very few incidents of interpersonal violence. then there are places like japan. we've all been focused on japan in the news over the past week, and japan has very what i would call high level of cultural violence. if you watch japanese cinema, you're familiar with japanese animation, incredibly violent. and yet aga
