so it's the proper governance of natural resources, realising thatthey are depletable, realising that the goal is to convert the resource wealth into human wealth; into infrastructure, into knowledge. that's the real strategy involved. it's transparency, so that it's not a political game of lobbies but actually a proper democratic governance of the nations... resources that's at stake. as long as there's a public awareness that this is the nation's patrimony, it shouldn't be stolen by some foreign investor, it shouldn't be stolen by some narrow political clique; but it should be used effectively on behalf of the whole nation. an accountability foresight, planning and a good ethical commitment that these resources are for the nations well being; putting that together can overcome the resource curse. >>reporter: still to come on world business... >>india is home to millions of motorbikes and some of the big brands are making a serious push into a growing luxury sector. >>why english county cricket is failing to bowl over fans, despite the international team's success. >>struggling to hi

resources. as these demands grow and the nature of threats evolve, i hope the f.b.i. will maintain an appropriate degree of focus on the types of crime that impact average americans every day, whether it be fraud against seniors, corporate offices defrauding investors, civil rights violations by those who abuse power, theft of individual identities or electronic intrusion into people's privacy. director mueller is the right person to continue to lead the federal bureau of investigation in confronting these challenges at this time. he's proven himself to be honest, frank and committed to the rule of law. while this extension is unusual, it is important that we grant it so that we have continuity in the leadership of the f.b.i. at this critical time. i urge support of this important measure and since we have no other requests for time i -- i will, if the chair permits, i'll yield two minutes to our distinguished member from texas, ms. sheila jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: thank you very much. the chair: the gentlelady from texas is recognized -- the speaker pro tempore:

the natural resources are committee, that i chair, has jurisdiction over e.s.a. as well as noaa and the fish and wildlife service and we will be working in coming months to conduct robust oversight and look at much-needed proposals to update this law. i appreciate your leadership and look forward to working with you on this very important issue, and i yield to the chairman. mr. simpson: i thank the gentleman. it's important that the authorizing committees be able to modernize landmark laws that were widely supported when they were passed but do not work like congress originally intended. stakeholders and interested members of congress should know that these frams are also at risk of defunding if they are not re-authorized. our bill will hopefully provide incentive for stakeholders who have been unable to participate to have serious reform of the e.s.a. mr. hastings: reclaiming my time. that certainly is the intent that we tend to pursue and i thank the gentleman for yielding. i yield back to the gentleman. mr. simpson: i reserve the balance of my time. the chair:

so the assumption is made that there are in significant damages to natural resources. however, the value below the detection and predetermine the benchmark value from the samples doesn't mean that spmd are absent present levels which are not harmful. the pravachol supports the use of the benchmark values as a basic determinant for the concentrations are organic contaminants constitutan ecological risk. however the benchmarks are not meant to be used or are only meant to be used for screening purposes only. they are not regulatory standards or criteria. benchmarks' cannot be delegated for sites and situations. it can be defended only in terms of regulatory precedent and while the epa and other agencies provide broad guidelines for the assessment of the benchmark endpoints, specific plans are not identified. a meaningful nrda must be able to have economic models to accurately assess chronic damage and injury to natural resources in the gulf. this perspective should certainly apply here given the magnitude and the scope of this bill. in light of the preliminary findings,

so i but now with nice announcement from massachusetts and ranking member of the committee on natural resources. markey for five minutes for an opening statement. >> thank you mr. chairman very much. recent advancements in drilling technologies have unlocked natural gas supplies in shale and other conventional formations across the country. leading to a significant expansion of natural gas production, including on blm manage public lands. currently 90% of all new wells on public lands are hydraulic we fractured. to explain the hydraulic fracturing process, the energy corporation came up with a cartoon coloring book that follows the friendly fracas or is named -- terry through the natural gas drilling process. the lovable dinosaur playfully promotes the benefits of natural gas and paints a picture of a magical world filled with smiling rocks and grinning animals. the problem is that, unless you are a fracas soros, this world does not exists. in fact, the word talisman means lucky charm, which is what everyone else will need if you listen to him. in the absence of real safety procedures put in pl

that many arab politicians in baghdad wish to re centralize iraq in particular the control over natural resources and that's in flat contradiction with the constitution of iraq of two thousand and five which was deliberately designed to ensure that each part of iraq our provinces as well as kurdish majority areas could govern themselves and develop themselves if that program of the constitution is implemented i think all of the historical animosities between kurds and arabs can be calm and the second difficulty arises as as was indicated in your program in the areas of the disputed territories those territories are disputed precisely because of past programs of ethnic expulsion carried out largely by saddam's regime but also by previous arab governments not everything done bad by arabs historically was done by saddam or those who were involved as well so the key thing that international policymakers and domestic iraqi citizens have to be focused on is how to ensure those two particular disputes over natural resources and over the disputed territories don't generate further conflict between kurds
