patterson made. whether the guidelines were or not, it will depend on the biosafety commissions that have the responsibility for implementing them. we also need to understand whether the research not covered by new hampshire guidelines -- by nih guidelines is a significant problem in this area or not. in the 1980's, as the first products of genetic engineering began to move out of the laboratories and into commercial production, the administration was faced with the question of how we regulate. nih does not have the tools to do enforcement or regulation for commercial practices. the office of science and technology policy led an interagency process to develop a coordinated framework for the regulation of biotechnology. those policies are still in place today. they have guided the development of biotechnology regulation. there are three basic findings from that group that are relevant to our decisions today. one is that, as dr. patterson said, the decision that the process about technology itself was

[cheers and applause] >> the most concise answer of the day. who is next? come on. somebody will follow that. >> in my case, i think i wished i would have found a scheme for actually funding higher ed that is a dedicated scheme of some kind, simply because we do think that it is so tied to economic development and in deep, deep recessions like this it is very vulnerable. higher education is. it's not caseload driven. we spend 97% of our budget on five years. so the two areas that aren't totally caseload driven, k-12 and higher ed, and higher ed is the more vulnerable of the two. so you're doing something very counter productive to economic development in the long run to make it through what seemed like a short-term recession it's longer than i think most people though

i visited there with ann patterson recently, from the taliban. let me just mention something i department mention, steve, which is, why is this? why are we having so much trouble there? do they hate afghanistan? no. they are worried about india, and they believe that if we lee afghanistan, which they think we will do in the near term, at least leave militarily, that the indians will come in and take over afghanistan. and that will surround them and pose a huge security risk to them. i think it their fears of india are overblown, and i also think we could work harder, we the united states, in terms of achieving our interest in the region to tamp down pakistani, the intentions. we did that. we probably cld get farther with our argument that pakistan should not help the taliban in paktan at all. host: so what exactly is the mission right now in afghanistan? guest: well, i think president obama would answer that by saying his mission is to succeed with a counterintelligence strategy, a coined strategy which protects the afghan population and per said

that, i need to be clear, this war isn't going to end on the battleship "missouri" or at the wright patterson air base in dayton, ohio. it's a different kind of situation. david petraeus and i have talked a great deal about how this war ends. and it's not the subject of this hearing. it's a complicated issue. i'll be happy to talk to you offline about it. but the civilian mission, the reason we're here today before your committee, is absolutely indispensable because this is not simply a war of military fronts. it is a war in the end, and this goes back to the question of congressman schiff and congressman lewis and all your colleagues. we must have a way of improving the afghan governance. and yet we cannot replace that government as was implicit in the exchange with congressman schiff. what we need to do is help them establish themselves. now, ill's a very interesting point, which i don't think i've mentioned publicly before. when we took office, we inherited a mission statement from the previous administration, which i don't know if it was public or not, but it was extraordinarily ambitious

patterson is one of the only counties in america where the pre funded health care and returns have not gone out of business. we have defined contributions. i have a 401k, as does every employee in oakland county. we have to do that with every public employee to reflect the people we serve. no one in the private sector is getting a pension anymore, and neither should new hires in the government. they could not get it done in lansing. they did a blended plan. >> i must have missed about you of your pension. >> i am on a defined contribution. $1,500 or $2,000, i never looked at it. >> from the time i was a marine, a homicide prosecutor, to being attorney general -- i am the one person on the stage to does not have a defined- benefit pension. i do not know the number, but you can look at my website and you can look at all my assets. you can look at by pension. you can look at what my wife and i make. i am proud to show you all of my assets. there is no conflict of interest. i agree with everyone out there that the premise of why anyone has anything beyond a 401k these days escapes me. howe

really aren't federally dependent in the sense that we don't have gigantic bases, but we have wright-pattersonair force base, but the rest of ohio has to either mine and congressman wilson comes from a part of our state that supplies so much of the coal that is shipped to our region and others. we either have to grow in regions like mine. i represent a major agricultural region that abuts lake erie's southern shore or we have to manufacture. we don't have any choice. we have to create wealth, basically. and what's been happening for many decades, we are amassing million dollar trade deficits every year, which means that all that spending benefits someplace else. 10% of the goods that are exported from china go to one company, wal-mart, they are a bazaar for chinese goods. and we look at the pictures you have there, vehicles and wind turbines. i was through a part of my district where they are putting up wind turbines and we are the solar capital of the midwest, toledo. one of three centers on the continent. we built that off of our glass industry. and it is a new age for us. in fact, the large

governor patterson, you prioritized education but you have been pushing for bigger cuts in educationhan the state legislature wants to give you. why is that? >> the budget in new york state was recently projected at 2009-2010 at $5 billion. it quadrupled in nine months, which is the largest escalation of a budget deficit experienced by a state in the history of the united states. so what happened in both of the years that i've been governor is that you had three to four billion dollar outyear budget deficits. and in those periods of time, you really can't cut education in the middle of the school year. now, for the five years prior to when i became governor, education spending had increased by 47% over that period of time. so it came a point where our resources were so depleted having cut 21 billion dollars in that period of time that inevitably we hit even the sacred area of education. this year, we wound up cutting $1.4 billion on top of it because we wanted to protect ourselves from an outyear gap where we wouldn't be touching education. it's a little bit of a competition between

. >> i did not want to follow patterson -- paterson. the one thing i regret -- hopefully we will finish this, given the opportunity. we did not completely remove the sales tax -- we were one of this -- the states that tax boost to the highest percentage. they have been talking about this for 50 years -- republicans and democrats alike. we knocked four of the six off in two years. we are down to 2 cents. i regret that we did not get rid of that. hopefully, we're not done. >> coakley, i will be around for a few more years. we passed the largest -- we need to lower taxes more to be competitive in the job market domestically and internationally. lower taxes. but can you afford to do that? -- >> can you afford to do that? >> can you afford not to? i think you have to. >> i wished we had been able to do more targeted tax credits or innovations -- research and development, and biotech, the things that are in our strength as an innovative economy. they pay themselves back. we have increased it somewhat, and i think those are one area -- >> you
