really, what can be exported from that experience in new mexico, our experience in new mexico, and what cannot? >> thank you, senator carper. there's -- we've found a number of very important lessons in examining the success of the development of the wipp facility. i can list just a couple. one was that the federal government in the end was willing to negotiate legally binding agreements with the state government that clearly defined a set of regulatory authorities that the state held. and in essence gave state leadership hands on a steering wheel, or at least ability to put their foot on a brake. and i think that that was a key element of creating confidence that the facility -- that the facility could be operated safely and they could assure the citizens that, indeed, it would be operated safely. >> so instead of a my way or the highway federal government calling the shots, you've got the state in the car -- >> yep. >> in one of the front seats of the car. >> that's correct. >> and with the ability to put a foot on the brake. it's almost like in driver's ed when i was in high school,

in new mexico it was different. the governor and local officials and i believe the leadership in the congress all had a very accepting attitude. so they came together and talked about what should this agreement be? as one of the parts of the agreement as i mentioned in my opening statement was the idea that no high level waste was going to come to new mexico. that this was going to be a transgentlemen rannic waste site. that's why i ask this question to you. it's one i know i think you've tried to finesse in your report. i'm trying to get to the real heart here of what, you know, should a state as a whole have the right to accept or reject a nuclear waste site in its borders and how should that authority work. you know, i realize it's a tough question. but that's why we hired you to do this. >> i guess, i'm speaking now more as an individual because we didn't resolve that in detail. i'll be honest with you. >> but please, as an individual you've sat through all of these. you've seen the experiences. tell us what you

there were expressed promises made to new mexico. and if those promises are remotely in jeopardy it's not clear to nrdc why any state would trust such a contract or future promise. we addressed interim storage and other matters. i'm happy to take questions on those as all. i'll close with the premise that we hope both guides congressional inquiry and legislative drafting. that is years or decades from now just as you warned, others will face our current predictment unless congress creates a trabs parent equitable process with environmental hazards that can't be manipulated in order to license a site that might not be suitful. as i stated to several members of the brc in extensive public kol kwi. i can't gasht that it will result in a solution. but i can point to strong evidence that following similar to the last two decades results in failure. thank you for this opportunity to testify and i'm happy to take your questions. >> you bet. please procedure. >> good morning. >> good morning. thank you for the funt to appear before you. my n

we shoot it in new mexico because they give us breaks on the taxes. they're going into season 5 of breaking bad, and every single tax dollar has gone to new mexico and not broke california. it's a great strategy. >> people in hollywood tend to be very liberal, and they want to have higher taxes on the 1%.

to represent the state of new mexico. in 1970, president nixon appointed judge mechem as a federal judge for the district of new mexico, where he served for 32 years before he passed away in 2002. judge mechem will be remembered for his commitment to public service and his distinguished service as a federal judge. i encourage my colleagues to support h.r. 3742 and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from indiana is recognized. mr. bucshon: i rise in strong support of h.r. 3742. i wish to yield three minutes to the gentleman from from new mexico, mr. pearce. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. pearce: i thank the gentleman for yielding and i thank subcommittee chairmen for moving h.r. 3742. i rise in strong support of this bill. this bill would name the united states courthouse located in las cruces, new mexico as the edwin l. mechem united states courthouse. governor mechem was a community leader who dedicated his life to

new mexico was also dependent on federal tax dollars and your side likes to talk about cutting spending but no one on your side wants to specify where they're going to cut because nobody is willing to cut medicare medicaid and they should really because those are necessary programs nobody is really not sure that you're in a very what should be your favor here is the essential cutting social security and medicare. personally i would favor a means testing social security and medicare side you see is that democrats are afraid to propose it and you know side is constantly increasing defense spending which is the highest spending in the country so exactly where are these tax cuts going to come from the only people of the us side is willing to go after the very. end here in way and i want to i want to read and i want to. do it i just want to ask. any question do you think mitt romney is holding back on his taxes because there's something there that he doesn't want people to know about i think it's another distraction i couldn't care less about mitt romney's tax returns i do care by the way ab

new mexico. >> new mexico. >> not las vegas, nevada. >> embedding of journalists in the iraq war one point 775 journalists and photographers. whose idea was it? >> i don't know precisely. i know who i heard it first from and it was tori clark, the assistant secretary of defense for public affairs. she had for public affairs. and she had been working with her staff and various people discussing it, whether it was a good idea and whether it wasn't a good idea. at some moment it came to general myers, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and me, and said that she believed that this would be a good idea. that we could allow journalists to go rights into the unit that is were fighting the war in afghanistan and eventually in iraq. and let them see for themselves what the men and women in uniform were doing and how they were doing it. now, the downside to that, obviously, is if you have journalists embedded in your units, you have to protect them. you have to feed them. you have to move and transport them and move them around. and you don't want them saying things to put our troops in

examples in new mexico, finland, france, sweden, where there have been possible templates for us to follow. i look forward to exploring these examples and see if we have found something new here that can work. we must not lose sight of the ultimate goal here, which is where is the long-term solution, are we getting there any time soon? we must not forget nuclear power is a vital far of our energy mix. it's affordable, runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. it's an essential part of an all-of-the-above strategy. that means developing our natural resources such as mining for domestic american uranium found in abundance, mr. chairman, in my home state of wyoming. it also mean expanding, expediting the siting and construction of new nuclear power plants across the country and providing for a long term storage facility for spent fuel. so i pledge to continue with work with my colleagues, with you, others on the committee and in the senate to achieve these things. again, thank you very much for this hearing this morning. i look forward to the testimony. >> thanks a lot more your statement. our next

at the penitentiary of new mexico.ou know, about 13 years ago. >> an inmate who was former law enforcement is going to always be perceived as the enemy as far as the other inmates go. so, it's usually a precarious situation. given his circumstances, i thought daniel was pretty secure. going from being a former c.o. to an inmate in the same prison where he once worked, i would have expected him to be a little more nervous, uptight, what have you. but he acclimated quite well. >> the officers, some of them treated me the same. some of them treated me different. for the most part, though, i've always gone along with people. i came into prison. and i ain't here to prove a point. i'm just here to do my time. >> was it weird at first dealing with officers? did you run into people you knew? >> yeah. i mean, i ran into a few people. they said, hey, rapatz. they call me by my last name, what happened, how did you end up here in the joint? what happened? i tell them, i ended up wrong place, wrong time. i was out drinking and usi

my project involves seven private practices from maine to new mexico. we can save money while providing better health and better health care. i'm happy to talk about that further. we stand ready to assist you as you stand forward. i'm happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. i have several questions. one, since physicians are so involved with such a large percentage of health care payments in our country, it seems to me between sgr for physicians only and yet physicians are so involved many the health care payments that are made elsewhere in the system, perhaps as we look at sgr there may be some way where physicians are reimbursed in a way that involve them in choosing the care given to patients more holistically. currently people say we're too stovepiped. one stovepipe to some degree is sgr. any thoughts you might have on how we collapse some of these pipes and specially the role of physicians because physicians are so heavily involved i think the figure i have is about 80% health care dollars are related to decisions made by physicians. your thou

, colorado and california meet down to the chijuajua area of new mexico. there was one excavation along the way i remember out in the desert nears winslow, arizona. the desert out there is just a still life with a few landmarks on the horizon and this empty hole, the little colorado river desert, the painted desert, and we were working on a 500-room pueblo dating back to about 1400 ad. i just remember the wind just hailing down on us for days and you would be working down with trowels inside of a trench and if you stop for too long, the sand would start to fill up your hole again because it was blowing so much and everybody was turned away from the wind. so it looked like some kind of religious thing was going on here, all these people bowed to the ground for days and days tinkering with some unimaginable smallness in front of them while the wind just pushed harder and harder, sand blasting across you, filling up all the rooms that you just emptied out as if the desert is rolling back over itself. because even where trails are left, trails disappear out th

the presiding officer: the senator from new mexico. mr. udall: thank you, mr. president. let me, first of all, just thank senator whitehouse for heading up this campaign finance task force. i think this has been a real solid effort by a number of senators, and senator whitehouse, whether it's at netroots or here on the senate floor, has been participating this evening, and we really appreciate all of his help. the presiding officer, senator merkley, has also been a key member of the task force. senator bennet, who is going to be speaking after me, another member of the task force. and we so appreciate all of us getting together. and one of the things we need to be reminded of this evening is where we are. we just took a vote to try to get on to the disclose act bill. 51 democrats said let's get on to the bill, and 44 republicans, not a single republican voted to allow us to get on the bill. basically what we're in in the senate, as senator bennet and senator whitehouse and senator merkley know, we're in the mode of a full filibuster now. we're on a motion to proceed. we'r

we take you to the state of new mexico. do you remember what happened in new mexico 12 years ago?ush won the state by 370 votes. that was it. in 2004, he won it again, beating john kerry by about 6000 votes. it was the closest race in the country, which would seem to make you think that new mexico would be a battleground state yet again. four years ago in 2008, president obama easily won the state by 15 points over john mccain. new mexico has an issue that is worse than almost every other state. that is the issue of education. we went to the county of sandoval county. a critical state county. how does education play in this? >> i have seen things that are just not right happening to our kids. reporter: this couple is fed up with the schools in sandoval county. transplants from the midwest, hoping for greater opportunity. they founded until four years ago. >> we have kids they can't read and write. i think it is time to get back to the basics with reading and writing and arithmetic. reporter: when the economy went under, the school that their 11-year-old daughter, emma, went downhi

key from our own practice showing how much money we could save medicare in one small practice in new mexico by keeping people in the office, aggressively managing the disease and the side effects of treatments so we keep people out of the hospital. we keep them healthier. and we keep them out of emergency departments and we can use less imaging. those are the things that doctors can control. and so with six other practices across the country, we're going to demonstrate that if we create ourselves as an oncology medical home that we're ready to accept a bundled payment, give us a payment that will allow us to take care of these patients. it will cost more in the outpatient arena, but the savings are far made up for on the inpatient setting when we keep people healthier. we think we can generate true savings in that manner. and better care. >> mr. chairman? i'm wondering, dr. weaver could you talk a little bit about, harry ford is one of the eight multipayer primary care. >> i wanted to give a couple of examples where we might have savings. and that is one of the things that cms is starting t
