the gentleman from new jersey. mr. pallone: mr. chairman, i yield four minutes to the ranking member of our full commrge and -- energy and commerce committee, the gentleman from california, mr. waxman. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. waxman: we're not focusing on the big issues the american people care about with this bill. instead, what we have before us is not a bill to increase jobs or to help those lives torn apart in the recrevent natural disasters from the storms or to address the country's high energy costs. unfortunately, what the republican leadership offers up once again is a debate on the affordable care act. this is another piece of legislation that is going nowhere. the senate will never pass it and the president will never sign it. this bill, h.r. 1213, was analyzed by the congressional budget office, and the budgetary estimate shows this bill diminishes coverage and raises costs. it punishes the states and hurts especially working americans and their families. first the bill will leave people

we open up the beaches of new jersey and new england to drill for oil. now, i will tell you right now, in most of those places -- actually, all of those places, the only oil the people who live near those beaches want is the suntan oil that they use when they're out on those beaches. they don't want oil coming in the way it did in the gulf of mexico. and why are they concerned? they're concerned because the oil companies, exercising their power and those right now those oil companies are centered down in the gulf of mexico, those companies have exercised their brock any new safety reforms from being put in place in order to protect against another catastrophic spill. so the at the matter of these oil companies is -- temerity of these oip companies is they're coming out today saying no safety, no lessons learned from what happened in the gulf of mexico, just devastating are the beaches of the gulf. now we want permission to drill off the california coast, the florida coast, the new england coast, the new jersey coast without any new safety. and by the way

the chair: the gentleman from new jersey. mr. holt: i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman from new york, mr. tonko. the chair: the gentleman from new york is recognized for two minutes. mr. tonko: i thank the gentleman for yielding. let there be no doubt, americans that are worried about the price of gasoline, it's recent spike has once again put us on notice. this bill that relieves regulation provides the wrong tools. america knows we can do better. we cannot afford to mindlessly give billions of dollars to big oil companies while they make record profits. in the short-term, we must ensure that speculators and wall street quit playing games with the price of oil. and finally, we must provide motorists with fueling options at the pump. it is unconscionable we would give $4 billion of taxpayer money to big oil companies this year alone while they are on track to make nearly $100 billion in profits in 2011. with prices this high, does big oil really need even more money? taxpayers know they don't. and taxpayers are hit

now, we all went to monmouth college in new jersey. why? is cost was five minutes away from long branch new jersey. mamas college and long bridge, we lived in longer-range. life i was a that's as far as i want my daughters to go. we plan to go to howard. know, that's too far. you can do well, but the dream still had to be realized. i went to monmouth, very, very small teachers college, but my professors at monmouth university were dedicated. at the monmouth university, i went to columbia college of physicians and surgeons which is basically a quantum leap from a small teachers college to an ivy league university that was the first medicals school to award the m.d. degree. so here i am a physician. and that brings me to a point of why i wrote the second book, something to prove. i want to read some excerpts out of the second book, something to prove because you think you got the brass ring. you're a doctor. i'm a doctor ivan indie from columbia. so what do you do? again, i just wanted to read to you what doctors do. this is from the first ch

of the underworld in tampa and how it was connected to the mofia in chicago, new york city, and new jersey. tampa was off the radar because it was for a long time a small city, not a big metropolis like new york or boston. you didn't have the flashy gang steers that you had up there, and really these were small pockets. these were, you know, familied and organized crime groups with 20-40 guys. another reason is because the gambling going on at the time was really engrained into the community. it was not seen as being a terrible vice, so i think a combination of those factors, but certainly a guy who was the mofia boss here from the early 1950s through 1987, he was certainly known outside the tampa area, and i think in terms of name recognition, he's one of the more recognizable mobsters in american history. one of the unique things about tampa's organized crime history is the mofia itself is a strictly italian organization and have to be sicilian to get in the mofia, but there were guys in the organized crime that was spanish, white, and cue babe who were influ enissue. it's an mixture tha

if they former new jersey public school student a product of the new jersey public school system and i'm not saying hey let's get rid of public schools i'm saying let's help people especially underprivileged families whose children have been out there whose children absolutely locked into habitually failing schools let's give them an opportunity to escape that system and let's give them that chance and i think that this is crazy to make this into a david and goliath thing where the goliath somehow are these poor kids who can't escape these schools that we keep throwing billions of dollars out when we have tripled education public funding since nine hundred seventy test scores have remained flat that is not a good return on investment let's give these families more inflation just as you're talking you're talking. pretty inflation adjusted dollars actually if you look at inflation adjusted dollars education spending as much. ed let me just wrap this is my take on this you know as a guy who founded a private school twenty years ago on it on the board thirty years ago i've been on the bo

they are now in an agreement with new jersey to barge to a new jersey planned build. i do not have that in my notes. we have that in the file in the office. the agreement is to go into place in 2012. it is between two ports. supervisor avalos: honolulu to washington state, it does not seem like we're talking about a barge. it will be more like a container ship. >> that is right. we were trying to find anything with a ship. supervisor avalos: one of the ideas the port brought up was that currently we have the bay bridge under construction. there are a great deal of barges used to bring construction material to the bay bridge. that might be available in future years. you have certain conditions that could be optimized for future use of the same vessels. in new york, are we talking about containerships or something comparable to what is done in the bay area for a bridge construction? >> it is not containerships in new york. it is barges. i do not know how they compare in size to what you have here. supervisor avalos: were you able to explore environmental conditions abou

and since it was headed from newark, new jersey, to sfo, many people had strong ties to the bay area as well. back on 9/11, the plane was hijacked and headed to washington, d.c. presumably to crash into the white house or the capitol building and the flight revolted and it crashed in an empty field in pennsylvania. we spoke with the husband of lauren grencolas on the plane and three months pregnant at the time, about whether or not he feels justice has been done. >> to some degree. obviously, they took care of the man who ultimately decided that innocent people should die. i know a lot of people say it is a symbolic gesture, because he was mitigated to what he could do in the last 10 years. but i hope it is also a symbol of hope, that this hatred that caused all this, will diminish. >> i think he is a hero. he stopped what could have been the pentagon or white house from being blown up. and more people need to step up when it is time. >> and that was mickey moran, she came down here from fremont. she actually met the spouse of one of the victims on the plane, and she felt the need to
