i'm also a cofounder and board member of the national association of pro bono counsel. professional organization of attorneys managing pro bono practices at law firms around the country. it is in that capacity that i'm here today. on behalf of the association of pro bono counsel and our law firm pro bono counsel members, i would like to stress express the strong as possible support for the supplemental funding for legal services providers. although many of our law firms already do promote pro bono work for children and families in the areas of asylum and guardianship and special immigrant juvenile status, we are not able to do that work on our own. we do not work in partnerships with legal services providers. which provides training, screening, and mentoring, referral, and expertise. however, many of these organizations were already at capacity work on reduce staffing before this crisis. they are simply not able to scale up the number of cases they are referring and mentoring without additional funding and additional staff. additional resources and commitment from firms

he insists he is the backing of the majority of the national associations. >> i am not finished.ave told them, the congress' of the confederations, and i got support of the majority, a huge majority of national associations asking, please, go on and be our president also in the future. >> it is highly unlikely anyone will oppose him. another one withdrew his name from contention. >> for me it was not a surprise, because he told me -- i think he is a reliable man when he is speaking not only colleagues-to- colleagues but friends-to- friends. it is the same idea in football. i was sure that he would make this decision. >> this was 78 euros spenteñaoao many ways the holy grail of this global spirit series. just remember, for centuries, consciousness was only talked about by spiritual types but by the end of the 20th century, quantum physicists the real top science guys, began their own studies of this rather weird thing called consciousness. suddenly, they were claiming that consciousness is quite possibly the single connecting force of the entire universe. so here we go. sit back t

here is ceo and president of the national association of manufacturers. critics of it will come at it from this angle. they will say once again corporate america is whining, essentially, about regulations because ask any business they would love to have no regulations. how do you counter that? >> that's not quite right. we just want to make sure there's balanced and fair regulations and sensible regulations. what the study really shows is the total cost of regulations, $2 trillion is the number you've used. but it's actually $2.028 trillion in compliance cost to the economy. now, manufacturers are hit hardest. and we know policy makers of all political stripes would like to see the manufacturing sector grow because that's good for the economy. that's good for jobs. that's good for the american way of life. but it's hard to grow the manufacturing sector when you've got all these compliance costs put on our backs. >> when you talk about compliance costs, just specify here which regulations are the most onerous for manufacturers. obviously there's accounting

. >> darden is a leading voice in the national restaurant association, the lobbying organization that negotiated the low federal minimum wage for tipped workers. >> we've come to see if we can speak to clarence otis, the ceo? >> back in 1996, herman cain, who later tried to run for president, was the head of the national restaurant association. struck this behind closed doors deal, with congress, saying that they the nra would not oppose a modest increase to the overall minimum wage as long as this wage stayed frozen forever for tipped workers. at 2 dollars and 13 cents an hour. >> could you bring somebody down, please, because we need to speak to somebody about this. we've been trying for several weeks. >> so for the last twenty-two years as the regular minimum wage has continued to rise, the minimum wage for tipped workers has stayed frozen. basically this industry is saying we don't have to pay these workers at all. they should work for us, but we don't have to pay them at all. you should pay them as customers. >> with tens of thousands of tipped workers, that adds up to a great de

national association of women judges. american immigration lawyers association has come in support of independent agency court. i think the main thing we have heard is money. if your gas tank has a leak, and you keep filling up with gas or picks up first? that is what we need to do, fix the system so we can retain judges, respond to these types of crises in the future. >> you talk about separation and independent court system. what will it take for this to happen? an act of congress? given your are ready victim to political whim, is this wishful thinking in the fact that there may not be affected caps on and this will be very expensive shift. >> creation of an independent court under article one would definitely take a act of congress to do that. but we feel the time is right. this is the kind of immigration reform which would be positive to everyone from every political spectrum. it is more efficient enforcement to have a resource court, a court whose results are not challenged in successions. in certainly allays the fear

the national association of broadcasters sued the fcc. could that delay the option? >> is a bump in the road, but i don't think it will delay the option. tohink the fcc is on track conduct the auction in 2015. it is a huge and very important undertaking, and it is the first time in the history of our country, i think in the history of the world, that an auction has been set up this way. it is voluntary. y are real essentials in the 21st century, that we create more unlicensed spectrum, which is an innovation platform. that we fund. you know there was one recommendation of the 9/11 commission congress had not made good on. that we establish a nationwide interoperable public safety network. why? because on that horrible, dreadful day of 9/11, fire and police went into those towers and could not communicate with each other. so we finally put that in place. the funding for that effort would come out of auction dollars, and also pay down the deficit. so it's very important and historic undertaking. it is unfortunately broadcasters have done that, but i would co nsider it
