no wonder the deputy prime minister is sitting so quietly by his side, because on this one, nick agrees with me. . . >> here, here. mr. speaker, i'm sure the house will >> i am sure that the whole house will wish to join me in paying tribute to the soldiers who have died in afghanistan in the last week -- from 40 commando royal marines, corporal stephen curley and marine scott taylor -- and from the 4th regiment royal artillery, gunner zak cusack. these were men of outstanding courage, skill, and selflessness. we must never forget their sacrifice. the house will also be alarmed and shocked by the events unfolding in cumbria today. police were called to whitehaven at 10:35 this morning after shots were fired by a man. and i regret to report that a number of people have been shot and at least five people have died. i can confirm that the body of a gunman has been found by the police. the chief constable of cumbria is working closely with other forces and other emergency services to ensure a coordinated response to these rapidly moving events. the government will do everything it possibly

nick nyhart. thing i didn't hear and maybe i missed it is the public opinion on public financing of campaigns. last i looked there is taxpayers don't want their dollars to be used for politicians to campaign. maybe that has changed since. but even if we assume they supported a need to get back, have you shut up a special interest from giving? i mean, is this something of a constitutional amendment and finally an relionship, what kind of example to think president obama said in public talking of the general election campaign? >> levies are with the last one because i think we form groups all faith that in watching a candidate to attend pro-reform in word and indeed in the illinois state senate, then turn around and say noto the public financing system as presidential candidate. i think it's important to remember the reform committee spoke pretty loudly for years earlier that the system is broken. getting most of him said qite publicly that forcing people, for us in the community same system is brok

nick represeed here the option of the public option, if you will, in campaign spending that exist in arizona and some ther states. i would like to see more experimentatn with it. i think it is a good system, but i think the idea of trying to create very strong incentives for mass participation would be a very good idea. research and reform, yes. we are doing that. but let's not pretend that this will and polarization. since as americans we don't ev seem to like to live near people we disagree with anymore. the great buy for the austin american-statesman foud that counties produce big landslides on both sides, even in close elections. i am as guilty as this as a way. my precinct voted 80% for barack obama. there were a lot of people who live in precincts that voted 80% r john mccain. yes redistricting reform but let's not prtend that this will and polarization in politics. and i want to offer martha challenge here. because i love what she is talking about. and i have always wanted change of bars and grills t have special political evenings. you know, applebes or chili's or thank god i

i want to commend representative nick rahall far sponsoring this legislation. this incident, precipitated when a navy helicopter was forced down a remote mountainous terrain, shows what's best about the national guard and their ability to work with local civilian responders in crisis situations. without the rapid integrated response of the west virginia army and air national guard, the volunteer efforts of local citizens, the support of local emergency management services and perseverance of state and local fire and rescue services and agencies, 17 people could have died from their injuries and from exposure. thankfully there were people at every level of government who were trained, equipped and prepared to respond. this resolution specifically honors those citizens of west virginia. but it is shhh should also remind each member to express appreciation to the people in our own states and districts, selfless americans who willingly sacrifice their comfort and safety for others in my own district, guards men and women have adopted a flexible plug and play organi

nick parker is the acting commander of isaf.host: not miss a beat, but thee will be a style difference between general mcchrystal and general patraeus, correct guest? guest: yes, but not the perceptible. general patraeus was one of the shapers of afghan policy, been mcchrystal's of superior, after all. it is not like he is going to have to come in and get up to speed. he is up to speed on a daily basis. if it would not surprise me if he is there by the weekend, assuming he is confirmed, and taking charge. i also note that there is a rather major assault into konar province. part of the reason for that may be that we want to show everyone that we are not going to miss a step, particularly the enemy. host: we are talking with retired general timothy shaikh. david is a -- timothy hhaake. david is joining us from maryland. caller: i think we need to stay in afghanistan and helped to stabilize the country. i know the russians were there and then they had a civil war for 30 years and then the english were there before that. we have to

nick rahall, to ensure that the laws are changed to prevent such a disaster in the future. and, mr. speaker, i again urge members to support this resolution, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. the question is will the house suspend the rules and agree to house resolution 518 as amended. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, twids being in the affirmative -- 2/3 being in the affirmative. ms. bordallo: mr. speaker, on that i request the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays have been requested. all those in favor of taking this vote by the anne will rise and remain standing until counted. -- by the yeas and nays will rise and remain standing until counted. a sufficient number having arisen, the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20 and the chair's prior announcement, further proceedings on this motion will be postponed. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess until approximately 6:00 p.m. today.

wonder the deputy prime minister is sitting so quietly by his side -- [laughter] because on this one, nick agrees with me. we don't need it, it will work, they should drop it. -- it will not work, they should drop it. >> the lady has a slightly short memory, because when she was sitting here, an enormous recognition of marriage in the tax system was introduced by the labor government, in -- wait for it -- the inheritance tax. they massively increased the threshold for the inhabitants tax, which would be transferred between husband and wife. -- for the inheritance tax, which would be transferred between husband and wife. why don't we do it for the lesser off? >> order. order. >> can i associate might right hon. friend with the to -- the tribute to those who lost the lives in afghanistan and those who lost their lives in cumbria. what means do you hope to use to achieve the stated unnecessary objective to of the private sector -- to expand sector and this is our objective to allow the private sector to expand in parts of the northeast? >> the hon. gentleman raises an important issue, because

our attorney general nicked that in the blood -- nipped that in the bud.never heard a thing from bp. let me try to figure out what the hell is going on. i went to the command center and went down -- where is it at? they had a deal set up in one of the churches. i went over there and said nobody knows a thing that is going on. there is a sheriff sitting there and said did you see anyone helping to clean this up? he said yes, you have to go talk to the parish officials because now they have made it that the politicians are involved of who gets to go to clean up. now it has become a political thing. whereas my party gets to work, but if we don't know you we don't get to work. is not about the money. you ought to see what is going on down there. >> i appreciate the phone call from one of our great fishing communities. over 1200 commercial louisiana fishermen are out of work and stepped up to the plate shortly after the deep water horizon collapsed and we realized what type of oil was coming our way. less than 300 were hired for the cleanup. this was in the ear

ambassador nick burns, who was the u.s. nuclear negotiator for several years, will tell you that he almost never met an iranian during his time as a negotiator, which is quite something. p think iranian officials have similar misconceptions of the united states, and iranians in general may have similar misconcepttons. this is a tremendous obstacle when you are trying to use diplomacy to solve the types of problems we have with iran. there is no doubt we need to continue to look for ways to get around this, whether it is simply doing better with what we already have or developing new partnerships and relationships or resources that will allow us to have a better insight inside iian. >> as far as increasing our capacity to predict, i think it is very difficult. it is extraordinarily difficult to understand. it is based on so many different factors, when moments of of people would take place in any given country. that should provide a lesson for our policy. one of the concerns i have with this adminnstration, in several differ

i hope that will be an answer the people nick? >> thank you, prime minister. you say these cuts will affect our whole way of life and they will affect every individual. yet you still have not spelled out in the area you are looking for which would be painful for people. when will you start to do that? when ministers make comparisons with canada, they blew up and made redundant tens of thousands of people, they cut benefits. is that what britain has to look forward to? >> we have the proper process to do this, a process with a budget on the 22nd of june. this will set out spending of the next three years. i want to see a proper debate take place that involves as many people as possible that will lead to actual spending reduction being sent out and what the consequences of that spending reduction are. i want us to go about this in the best way possible to take people with us. i was speaking to the canadian prime minister about this last week. while they do stand as an example then sorted out a debt and deficit crisis, the great morning they give is that they put
