when i open an e-mail for the new dallas cowboys stadium that is in my congressional district, i don't expect to begin receiving unsolicited ads for airline tickets to the dallas-fort worth area or hotels also in my district in arlington, texas. it's obvious that people track what i do and where i go. and try to take advantage of that. fortunately, technology has come quite a ways in protecting individuals. we started looking at the spy wear problem back in the 107th congress. and thanks to the work of among others congressman mariano mac, ed towns, chairman dingle, those spy wear infections are not near the problem that they used to be. however, today companies continue to gather, maintain and use data to a variety of technological methods. some of those companies such as verizon and comcast are large companies. they're regulated in some parts of their business model. and i think they are trying to act appropriately. there are other companies, so-called isp low cadeers, that we don't -- locaters that i personally don't even know their name. then you have the in between companies, the

a day later the "dallas morning news" reported that f.b.i. special agent laura burns testified during the holy land foundation case that care, quote, was formed in the aftermath of the 1993 meeting by palestinian activists in america who brain stormed ways to spread pro-hamas message here without attracting too much attention. a department of justice press release issued on november 24, 2008, when the holy land foundation verdicts came down, stated similarly, quote, the government's case included testimony that in the early 1990's hamas' parent organization, the muslim brotherhood, planned to establish a network of organizations in the u.s. to spread a militant islamist message and to raise money for hamas. holy land foundation became the chief fundraising arm for the palestine committee in the u.s. created by the muslim brotherhood to support hamas. according to a wiretap of a 1993 palestinian committee meeting in philadelphia, former holly land foundation president and c.e.o. spoke about playing down hamas ties in order to keep raising mone

news. i think the other was no surprise. >> dave michaels with the dallas news. president said today the public auction is your friend. speaking to positions-- physicians and the house of delegates is going to consider a resolution that would tell the ama to oppose the adoption. do you think the president's assertion that of the option is your friend will convince any of your positions seem to be very skeptical about a public auction that they should it least consider it? >> i think what you heard today was, was a call for a thoughtful analysis of all the options. and what is going to happen here over the next two or three days is the american medical association will figure out the way that we can best help the president reach the goals that we share, which are affordable health insurance for all americans, so i think that, i think it was something that we share. >> if the ama, if it approves the resolution how much would it be in terms of being able to negotiate the bill the president and congress? >> i think our house of delegates tends to be very thoughtful a

the "dallas morning news," september 6: "the travel promotion act is a sensible first step toward putting the welcome mat back on america's doorstep. the orlando sentinel "charging travelers $10 on promotion to bring in all that money makes sense." "detroit free press," september 5, 2008, "doesn't it make sense to encourage at no cost to taxpayers foreign visiters to come here and leave some money? there's no good reason not to pass this bill." and finally, i leave the best to last, the "duluth news tribune," duluth, minnesota, may 18, 2009: "ideas to bolster economic recovery without plunging the nation any deeper into debt would be welcome by taxpayers from coast to coast." that is what we're talking about here, and i know firsthand how important it is, tourism, for the city of duluth t. had some very difficult economic times in the 1970's and 1980's. at one point it was so bad that there was a bill board that someone put up outside duluth said, "the last one to leave, please turn off the lights." that's what they were dealing w. and they bolstered their economy through tourism. i was j

the "dallas morning news" -- "travel promotion act is a sensible first step towards putting the welcome mat back on america's doorstep." and the list goes on. now, mr. president, i don't come from hawaii or florida or california. i don't come from what would be considered a tourist mecca. i come from the northern great plains. oh, it's got a lot of tourist destinations there, the badlands in north dakota some of the most beautiful areas in our country. there are so many destinations with such wonder to attract people to our region of the country. it's where lewis and clark and this epic adventure of theirs decided to spend the winter, mind you. they spent the winter in what is now just an area about 40 miles north of bismarck, north dakota. and we celebrated the 200th bicentennial of the lewis and clark expedition and we had a lot of people come from around the tworld see that. the fact is, every -- the world to see that. the fact, is every state in this country has something that it is anxious to show the twocialtiond say look at us, look at what we're doing here, look at how beautiful

what i wanted to share with the house tonight, "the dallas morning news" runs a column every sunday by dave scott burns. he was quoting an economist in austin economist, laci hunt. er ving fisher saw it first. the man who may have been the greatest american economist wote the theory about the great depression in 1933. excess debt controls all of the economic variables. he went on to say, think about it for a minute. it's a very powerful statement. excess debt controls all of the economic variables. what does that mean? that means we cannot control the unemployment rate. that means we cannot control almost everything is out of our grasp because of the massive amount of debt that we have accumulated. a and on monday the president said he wanted to accelerate the price of spending because we weren't getting the money out the door fast enough. let me reiterate, excess debt controls every other economic variable. it was true in 1933 and i suspect the true is today. i think every member on the floor here tonight has recognized that at one time or another. and the time point, the only thing t

this the "dallas morning news" it is a sensible first step it to putting a welcome mat on america's doorstep. the detroit free press, doesn't it make sense to encourage foreign visitors to come here and leave us some of their money. "l.a. times" considering the u.s. spends hundreds of millions of dollars on public diplomacy with dubious results with nothing in tourism, it might do us well to invest money in wooing traveling. congress can help by passing the travel promotion act by the end of this year. now, mr. president, this ought to be something that we bring up and almost passed by unanimous consent. guess what kind of a tortured journey this bill has been on. first and foremost the bill is reported to the floor -- and you have to have a motion to proceed. you can't just bring it to the floor. if somebody insists, no, no, you've got to have a debate and then a vote on whether or not you should even proceed it the bill. so we did. not because we should have had it -- to do that. somebody said, you know what is this we're going to decide to be a human set of brake pads and slow down anythi

the dallas morning news says, "the travel promotion act is a sensible first step toward putting the welcome mat back on america's doorstep." the or l.a.n. do sentinel says "our position charging international travelers $10 to pay for the promotion makes sense." "the los angeles times," "considering that the u.s. spends hundreds of millions of dollars on public diplomacy with dubious results and nearly nothing on promoting tourism, it might do well to invest a little money in wooing travelers." and the list going on of newspapers that have endorsed the legislation. this has been a pretty difficult decade for our country in many, many ways. our country was attacked on 9/11/2001. several thousand innocent americans were killed by terrorists. following that, we suffered a recession, almost immediately. then a war in afghanistan and then a long, protracted war in iraq that cost an enormous amount of money, was scroafersial all around the -- was very controversial all around the world and it has been a very, very difficult decade as i indicated when i started, eight years later, we have so many f
