they want to throw a ton of money into r&d and then none left to add to fund the commercialization. we are getting it wrong because of the politics. you have to be very careful how you approach the scale dynamics of this business, but i think there is tremendous scope for it and i think we need to continue to pursue it. with regard to oil price volatility, it is applied and the man and a sense that if you argue against or dollar gasoline when it was $4, you are arguing against the fact that we've leased from submission millions and millions of people from china and russia that drove worldwide demand up. with the economic collapse, that is what drove oil prices back down again, and therefore gasoline. crude oil makes up 77% of the gasoline price. it is very much about supply and demand. we have to make a choice from the one central government to control everything and went to the wishes of a few or let the market mechanisms dry things generally while you tend to do the right things with regard to government money and science- based answers for the energy equation, which i am very muc

they were able to reduce that variation, eliminate many of the spinal m r is which not only drive up costs but pose potential risks to people. you don't want to get unnecessary tests done. simply providing information could address regional variation and move towards a quality oriented system. sometimes we don't know what works. we don't know whether that spinal mri is or is not warranted. that is the focus of today. we need much more information provided to the medical system so that doctors and hospitals know what works and whether those additional procedures are not warranted. finally, as the article emphasizes, in some cases, this is not a derogatory statement, it is natural that doctors and hospitals do not do things that disadvantage them financially. we have a set of incentives that reward more intensity, and actually financially penalizes those providers that are more efficient. that approach adopt lower intensity even if they are more effective health care procedures. we need to change that. i will come back to that. finally, there are questions about the way in which we set

f r a's strategic plan is more a vision than a plan. it does not define goals for investing in high-speed rail, how these investments will achieve them, how the federal government will determine which corridors issue -- we should invest in. f r a views the strategic plan in a first step in involving federal development, emphasizing that stakeholders' must help push out its approach to developing a high-speed rail under its control. and and plans to spend recovery funds in ways that show success to help keep long-term political support for these projects at the local level. in conclusion, the inclusion of $8 billion in recovery funds is only a first step in developing potentially viable high-speed rail projects. but host of seemingly intractable issues like high costs, uncertain ridership and the need for broad political support that have hampered development of these projects is still with us and we need to be resolved to effectively spend recovery funds. surmounting these challenges will require federal, state and other stakeholders le

szabo who will appear for the first time as f r a administrator. that will play a major part in this, i am glad you will have 7 regional meetings to determine what the parameters for high-speed rail should be. having around the country is another good sign. and robert eckels is a former county judge which is a county executive in harris county. he is heading up the high speed rail quarter, the texas t bone. it is a great plan that is coming forward. and i think could go right into amtrak, could have a lot of great results and i hope it is one of the first projects that can get some of the stimulus funding that would be available. it would be easier to talk about the national system. i want to recognize governor rendell with whom i have worked, my constituent in dallas. also a good friend and someone i worked with in dallas and texas. we have a lot of interest and i look forward to hearing from the witnesses and it is a distinguished panel. thank you, mr. chairman. >> we made a decision, because of the size and quality of the witnesses today, we wou

people from the campaign -- [applause] we have the commissioner, hamburg, tom frieden, the cdc director,r and just some extraordinary members of congress here that are on stage, sen. todd, lautenberg, rep. waxman, dingle, platts, who did extraordinary work in getting this to move forward. i want to thank all of them but there are three i have to thank, waxman, sen. dodd, [laughter] >> and most importantly, sen. ted kennedy, who cannot be here today. this legislation represents change decades in the making. since the middle of last century we have known about the deadly effects of tobacco products. 400,000 die every year, making this the legal will cause of preventable death in the united states. nearly 8 million merit -- million americans suffer from something caused by smoking, and this costs us over $100 billion a year. even worse is the effect on our children. one out of every five children are current smokers by the time they leave high school. every day over 1000 children become smokers, much of this began before the 18th birthday. i was one of those teenagers and i know how difficul

improve on a system that the current secretary of homeland security had the good sense to adopt in r home state when she was governor two years ago. e-verify ensures that a legitimate worker has a legitimate shot at a job. if we can't help our citizenry in this, what are we doing here? second, it's a tool to prevent illegitimate workers from working in secure areas. airport runways, military bases, federal buildings, train yards, and so forth. continued opposition to this creates a security vulnerability we simply can't afford. we have record level unemployment in this country and we have americans who want to work and yet we continue to drag our feet and delay both an economic tool and a homeland security tool. so let's get past the rhetoric. let's add sufficient funds to ensure even greaterer accuracy, capacity, and oversight to prevent the risk of identity theft. $50 million is just 1/3 of the raise the departmental headquarters gives itself under this bill. so let's give americans at least a fighting chance at a job and ensure that our government and u.s. businesses are employing

i thought the reversal but i fought against -- i thoufought r the reversal of the system. when pressures is exerted, instead of finding a legal path, a correct approach, brewed force is used instead. once again, state crime resumes. i was the first to condemn these acts. i wish to speak here to condemn these acts. i do not want to see me is the president was to return because he is president. for me, this is nothing more than an instrument. that is all in the struggle for society, to provide services. it has no significance other than that. there is an individual callewhoy ancestor that said what is important is not to be a poet or artist, but having dignity, satisfaction, joy and doing a job well. at whatever level, as long as you feel satisfaction of doing a job well. the president is an important opportunity to provide these services. i do we clean the rights. i have struggled for these rights for my children, my grandchildren, future generations. the salvadorean poet said that the problems arose because laws are always enacted by the rich and powerful. that is why ther

r. as far as the reserve component, there's some requirement that is have been provided in the post katrina reform act to build a more professional response force and provide more training and capabilities within our eserve force. so we are looking at that. as far as a standing reserve, that would be something i would like to further research. but i think there's some elements of na that we're seeing in some of our programs that we're not creating so much a formal reserve process but building like community emergency response teams through the training. and in many cases building cape wrablets that are more adequately leveraged at the local level by enhancing through community emergency response teams, through citizen corps capabilities that people stand ready to help in their neighborhoods and communities. . . in some measure, you could say that the world economy depends on the continued operation of these major ports. many, if you start from houston and work your way to new york, ma

guest: i do not understand iranian understan-- why is the r the freedom should not lead to the desire for freedom in other parts of the world. to say we need to support just one of the for democracy does not mean the we should deny another movement, especially the plight of the palestinian people. they have been desiring freedom and to have a happy and independent life for a long time in the same manner. i am not talking about intervention. i do not know where war- mongering comes in. i was against the war in iraq and thought it gave excuse to the warmongers in the region, including those like ahmadinejad. it created a mistrust of the possibility of any form of democracy in the region, including in palestine. so, you have to understand that our own cry for freedom implies allowing other people to be free. they go hand in hand. freedom is not an american entity. it is a universal entity and the same way that the tortures and abu ghraib for not the products of certain people, but a tragedy that belonged to america. host: this is an e-mailed question. guest: i believe that democratizatio

shulman, secretary @@@@%@ r" storm raging and what great damage to everybody. the federal government has responded to the economic crisis with aggressive and unprecedented, but unfortunately, i believe ad hoc, actions to taxpayer-funded bailouts are too big to fail private corporations, a trillion dollar stimulus, foreclosure rescue programs to name a few. we've seen positive signs of green chutes, but there's some wonder whethering they'll wither away with continuing problems in the housing sector and consumer debt remaining high and significant deleveraging occurring in the financial sector and lingering question about the solvency of banks. are we seeing a dead-cat bounce in the markets? economic and financial experts are telling us that economic recovery cannot occur until we've addressed the root cause, the credit crisis and that's what t.a.r.p. was supposed to do, but it got out on the wrong foot last fall, in my view, and it's still there and president obama told us in january we can't have a recovery until we get the toxic assets out. this is the -- the
