must be worthy of national funding and in the national interests. the national interests are defined by broad criteria that a grant has a potential to promote the progress of science to the united states. it is difficult to conseff that research would not meet that standard. it is difficult for help to see how the standard could harm the work that the foundation does. the bill clearly states that it is the job of the foundation to determine what is worthy of funding, not politicians, and nothing in the bill would alter its peer review process which we agree is a gold standard for funding scientific research. as a scientist myself, i believe this is as it should be. nevertheless, there have been suggestions that this bill is politicians creating a political filter and what research suld be funded. but it is describinging how this broader than the impact and there is no concerns at the time about the language being a political filter, nor was there any concern that broader impact be applied to portfolio of grants rather than individual awards. further

founders of our nation.efore the nation had been formed, people of england and holland had settled in the east and southeast. they brought from africa negroes as slaves, and settled them mainly in the south. people of france had settled in the south and midwest. and people of spain had settled in the southwest. but after the nation was formed, more people came. people from north and central europe, especially from ireland, germany, and the scandinavian countries, came to america and early 1800s to the midwest. people immigrating to america, becoming americans. people from asia, many from china and japan in the late 1800s and early 1900 to the far west. the people of the world in america. but there was movement, and shifting of people. and intermixing. so the south became not just the home of the english and the negroes, and the french, but the home of these and other americans. and the midwest was not a land for only northern europeans to cultivate, not only for the french to farm, but a home for all america

it is a national memorial for a national tragedy. that is why i'm pleased to co-sponsor the legislation introduced by my colleague from new jersey, to provide federal recognition and support for the memorial. this legislation will help ensure the memorial continues to provide a sacred and inspiring spot for generations to come. i appreciate the bipartisan support of the members of the natural resources committee and the house leadership in bringing the bill to the floor today. i look forward to working with my colleagues on the house appropriations committee every year to ensure that the national 9/11 memorial receives appropriate levels of funding. also work with my colleagues to maintain open communications with the department of the interior to ensure the money is spent wisely and achieves our shared goal of ensuring the memorial remains a spot of peace to millions of americans every day. i ask my colleagues to support this bill and provide the recognition this memorial deserves. i thank you and i yield back the balance of my time

now we have turned our sights on the establishment of a national memorial in our nation's capital. let me start by thanking the commission for their hard work over the past few years, and for putting together this design competition. it's been a pleasure working alongside them in our pursuit to hontr veterans of world war one reaching today's announcement took several years lots of negotiations, several rewrites of legislation, and single-mindedness by all involved for us to get to where we are. as you know, congress doesn't move swiftly. and so sometimes it doesn't move at all. but we were able to get ovement in congress and we had energetic support from a number of people in congress including , i've got to say, both the previous speaker of the house nancy pelosi and then john boehner who never paused in the support that came from pelosi. and so we have had the opportunity to get to this point. and i think there is a high level of excitement to be here. during the union station existence, the third largest union station in the world, in my home district of kansas city, of course,

our national asset actually ballot boxes are our national asset. if today, if somebody has a complaint, if there's a citizen or a political current and group actually if has seen some bad behavior in all that, but those should turn out in droves and cast their votes. today we should know that the votes of you, that it will have the final say, your votes are the final say. both in iran and both in the region and also in the whole world. citizens vote including the votes of men and women, girls and boys, different ethnic groups, those votes can show the way, can solve problems. not only for our country but for the whole region and the whole world. your votes on the 7th will be a vote for hope. vote for logic. will be a vote for law. and will be a vote to safeguard and stand up for your rights. that vote on election day means that people are interested in rebuilding a country, rebuilding the country based on dialogue. our votes do not go -- is not for those who want to turn their back on the law. we're not voting for those who go for bickering and wra

the idaho, oak ridge and brook haven national labs are also part of the national training network for iaea inspectors. on average, our national labs are training 150 iaea inspectors every year, about a fifth of the entire inspection staff, every single year, developing key skills to keep us and the world safe like learning how to make accurate, prompt measurements of nuclear material. our national labs also play a key role in improving existing technologies and developing new ones that we can't even imagine today. the online enrichment monitors i described earlier which will allow for continuous real-time overnight of iran's enrichment activities were originally developed at oak ridge national lab in tennessee. in fact, most of america's 17 national labs have supported or are currently supporting some element of the iaea safeguards technologies, both as individual labs and as part of a ten-nation, 20-lab network of analytical labs that includes los alamos, oak ridge, lawyer inches livermore, pacific northwest national lab and the new brunswick labs. mr. president, in conclusion, congr

but then the nation fell away. it fell away from godly principles to the point that god stepped in and allowed the jewish people to be conquered and dispersed throughout all the nations of the world. israel began moving back to her land following world war i, under the british mandate of palestine. and then in earnest following world war ii. tension developed between the returning jews and the arabs who were then living in the land who did not then and have not since taken kindly to israel coming home. this tension came to a head when israel state was announced in 1948. the bottom line is simply this. and god gave it to his people as an inheritance rever. that's what the scripture says. israel is not taking land that she does not deserve. she is just occupying the land that was given to her by god. e is not doing something that she should not do, for which she should apologize or stand in defense. she is simply doing what god allowed her to do by his promise to her in the scripture. the jews were not restored to th

"the boston globe" summed up his thesis rather starkly as vote all you want. the secret government will not change. you know, you can find evidence for all three of these causes in the pages of "power wars," and reading it, it struck me that looking for single corporate behind the persistence of the imperial presidency is something like looking for a model causal explanation of the american obesity crisis. are we fat because of high fructose corn syrup or supersized portions, or because we watch five hours of tv on average a day? yes. like our expanding waistlines, are expanding presidency is depressingly overdetermined. but anyone who wants to figure out how they got to where we are today, and if we can possibly get back, will have to start with "power wars." to kick off the conversation please welcome charlie savage.

the united nations can be a blessing and a curse. but for haiti the western hemisphere's poorest country it's been both. six years ago haiti was devastated by a massive earthquake. its worst natural disaster in more than two centuries. millions of haitians looked to the u.n. for help because the u.n. already had a large presence in haiti and the help did come. governments and private donors pledged more than $13 billion to the relief effort. the u.n. set up temporary housing for thousands of residents. it built schools, hospitals and sanitation systems and the u.n. currently maintains a 380 million dollar annual budget to pay for its peace keeping force in haiti. that pays for the more than 6,000 u.n. soldiers tasked with upholding public security. but the u.n. effort may also have made some things worse. many blame u.n. peace keepers for a cholera epidemic that has left thousands dead. at the same time, u.n. soldiers have been dogged with allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation of poor haitian women and children. flit we hold t

derm nation. this bill codifies the executive orders the president initiated last year regarding cybersecurity when were enacted in the sony picture hack and other cyber incidents. this is a unique feature of the senate bill. lastly, signing into the law the sanctions on cyber violators will break new ground for congress. something we can take as a model and apply to other nations to perpetrator cyber attacks against the united states. we need to look for every day to deprive kim jong-un. we have to send a strong message to china north korea's diplomatic protector and large trading partner that the united states will use every economic tool at its disposal to stop jong-un. and finally i would like to quote the "washington post" editoral board president obama's policy since 2009 has failed. the policy mostly consisted of ignoring north korea while putting pressure on china to pressure the regime. it concludes china and north korea must see they will pay a mounting price for what the united states s

where is the national press now? it didn't take me but two with three sentences and then you were rolling. if you don't mind, i want you to tell people what you said to me on the phone as to what the message is you wanted to get across on this occasion. we're finally after 50 years recognizing a speech that many of us are hearing for the very first time. how fascinating that speech is. i keep thinking how does it it apply to today? can we apply it to today? bruce: i want to thank everybody up here. i'm a beneficiary of dr. king and of each and every one of you. some of you i know personally, simeon, especially you. i applaud everything that you have done and the courage you have shown. you paved the path. i am standing on your shoulders, and the shoulders of a lot of journalists out here.

a world of coercion against the charter of united nations. there may be differences within the communist world about methods and techniques, and leadership within the world itself, but they share a common attachment to their world revolution. and to its support, through what they call wars of liberation. what we face in vietnam is what we have faced before. the need to check the extension of communist power in order to maintain a reasonable stability in a precarious world. that stability was achieved in the years after the war, by the valor of free nations defending the integrity of postwar territorial arrangements. and we have achieved stability for the last decade and a half. it must not be overthrown now. like so many of our problems today, the struggle in south vietnam stems from the disruption of two world wars. the second world war completed a process begun by the first. it ripped apart a structure of power that existed for 100 years. it set in train new forces and energies that have remade the map of the world. not only did it weaken t

lessons that mean to guide our nation going forward. even as we use military commissions to close out the cases of some current detainees, which given the unique circumstances of their cases make it difficult for them to be tried in article 3 courts, this type of use of military commission should not set a precedent for the future. as they have been in paths wars, military commissions will continue to be an option when individuals are detained during battle. but our preferred option, the most effective option for dealing with individuals detained outside military theaters, must be our strong proven federal courts. fourth and finally, we are going to work with congress to find a secure location in the united states to hold remaining detainees. these are detainees who are subject to military commissions, but it also includes those who cannot yet be transferred to another countries or who we have determined must continue to be detained because they pose a continuing significant threat to the united states. we are not identifying a specific

how do -- national poll numbers they got. how do you get national poll numbers? bernie sanders is right about that. i believe you are trying to do something about it. i congratulate you for introducing this topic into the public forum. but make no mistake about the reality of money and politics. it is the equivalency of freedom but just understand what the governments and states and the mass media and everything are doing to control the discourse and the politics in this country. you know what it costs be on the ballot in south carolina? we have a primary system where you go first in new hampshire and you talk to the people here one-on-one the best way you can, that you had better have a ground game. have you heard that? you better have a ground game in iowa if you are going to proceed in new hampshire. did you hear that? we chose not to participate in iowa. not because we do not love the people. i know them pretty well. to participate in their caucus, you have to hire 30 field people at least organize people across the country and that costs money. and the peopl

if as a nation we don't deal with this now, when will we deal with it? linger for let does another 15 or 20 years? 30 years? if we don't do what is required now, i think future generations are going to look back and ask -- why we failed to act when the , the right side of history, justice, and our best american traditions was clear. so, again, i want to thank secretary carter. you and your team did an outstanding job showing great leadership on this issue. with this plan we finally have the opportunity to eliminate a terrorist propaganda tool, strengthen our relationship allies and partners, enhance national security, and most importantly uphold the values that bind us as americans. i am absolutely committed to facilityhe detention at guantanamo. i will continue to make the case for doing so as long as i hold this office. this is a good moment for everyone to step back, take a look at the fact, take a look at the views of those who have been most committed to fighting terrorism and understand the stuff. our operatives, our intelligence officials, our mil
