r chairman, i can't help notice that the pattern that seems to come from the conversation we had with mr. grossman. you know this administration recently decried interrogation and certainly in the campaign did the same and of course as you also know they reserved under themselves the right to use the same techniques if they thought they were necessary. just recently just a think today the administration called mr. obama called the iraq war a war of choice yet he continues to persecute, prosecute that war. and he has withdrawal timetable is essentially the same as the bush administration. the guantanamo bay issue has been brought up a great deal and yet it appears the result will be either terrorists in the united states subject to all of our constitutional rights work creation of something essentially the same as guantanamo bay. the surveillance techniques that would decry so profoundly by the obama administration and the obama campaign have been essentially left in place the same way. i even heard the president the other day say that we cannot sustain the deficit spending to amaze yo

r. chairman. major carriers are outsourcing an increasing amount of all of their maintenance whereas formerly they did it in-house. among regional carriers our research says that among 50% of maintenance needed by regional carriers is now being outsourced. my office says examined out source maintenance in 2003 and 2005, 2008, a key finding of ours is that the new risk-based safety oversight system for repair stations initiated by faa in 2005 is currently ineffective in our judgment due primarily to the fact that the faa has not yet got a handle on exactly what type of maintenance, how much maintenance, and where it's being conducted, when it's being outsourced. until it gathers the data and is able to feed it into this risk-based system it will be able to assign its inspector resources where it's needed. >> mr. scovel, in a book i wrote i described maintenance by one large carrier. one of the carriers, i should say, in this country. they would fly an empty 320 airbus from the u.s. to el salvador t

chairman. >> thank you, mr. dingell. mr. ging r, yerks? >> mr. chairman, thank you. generally insurance is a form of risk management that allows individuals to pay a monthly premium in exchange for a company taking on their financial risk in the event of a health care or catastrophic loss. health insurance, on the other hand, is not typical insurance for a monthly premium individuals purchase health insurance to financially support them in the event of a catastrophic incident, such as a broken lig, as the lady from chicago just recently experienced. or surgery. patients also use their insurance for such things as doctor visits or monthly prescriptions. in some respects, health insurance has become the means by which patients see their providers and they receive treatment. primary responsibility for regulating the individual health insurance market rests with the state regulators. however, in the health insurance portability and accountability act of 1996, hipaa, congress made very clear that an individual insurance policyholder has a right to guaranteed renewability.

chairman. mr. 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

chairman. let me first begin by welcoming the secretary to r. subcommittee. i also want to associate myself with chairman hoby and other members who have spoken on the question of specific earmarks for health related diseases in this bill. every member of this subcommittee has a personal story to tell. every member of the subcommittee has a case to be made for their constituents that drove us to seek an appointment to the subcommittee in the first place, from cancer to mental health, to meditation and other forms of health related practices that can improve the nation's health, and there's a constant battle on this committee for the years that i have been on it to try to find an appropriate and necessary resource to address each of our individual and collective concerns. one of my sinful project since i have been on the subcommittee has been addressing the issues of health disparities. when i first got appointed to the subcommittee, then chairman porter of the subcommittee while i was trying to advance what i thought for closing for found gaps that existed in

research for r&d, it includes exploration for natural gas and oil, but it starts with the idea of building 100 new nuclear power plants in the next 20 years. >> senator bunting? >> thank you, chairman bennett. and thank you, senator alexander, for your participation. i would also like to thank our witnesses for coming today. a cap-and-trade program would have a detrimental effect, i believe, on the american consumer and to our economy. like many of my colleagues i support efforts to reduce carbon emissions. i recognize that the future of energy is clean energy, including as senator alexander has said, building at least 100 new nuclear power plants in the next 20 to 25 years. i also believe that we can meet our growing needs of energy while fulfilling our obligation to the environment. nment. whether or not you believe in global warming, this should not be an excuse to enact a cab in trade system until we have an international agreement on co2 emissions. advocates of cap in trade argue that to implement the system, american take a global leadership position on climate change. i agree with that. they have argued other nations will voluntarily adopt emissions standards in the future.
