rachel denied the story. i'm told she has an attorney, a great attorney, gloria allred in california. we have not received communication. >> that's one of the last things i would want is gloria allred chewing my behind, i can tell you that. let me ask you this, the alleged other woman gave her side of the story. let bego to our chief editorial director. she's denying the affair. >> rachel uchitel gave a very long interview -- >> rambling. she kept saying the same thing over and over. >> it happened last week, before she was using the services of gloria allred. she tells the post it's ridiculous. it's not true. the sources were out for a payday. she met tiger woods twice, very short meetings. she never spoke to him on the phone. she never exchanged text messages with him. they are not having an affair. >> okay. barry, the executive editor of the "national enquirer." what is your response to the things the so-called other woman had to say, giving her side of the story. >> i read her account today and posted a p

beg to say being a horse racing fan that this has been a great year for the women, too, as far as rachel alexander. >>. >> larry: would you have voted for tiger? >> you know, it's really hard not to vote for tiger as far as being the most dominant golfer of the decade. he stepped up to the plate and he has made an impact on golf that, you know, is pretty hard to match. >> larry: doug, what do you make of this whole story, there's never been anything like it? >> it's a surprising that just about -- just about everybody, everybody i have spoken to, everyone who has been around him. i think the reason the fall has been so spectacular is that the rise really has been even more spectacular, to see what he's done through this decade, the number of tournaments he has won, the majors he's won, the way he has just dwarfed his competition and done it with a fairly impeccable image. always a few glitches here and there, whether it was foul language, whether it was throwing the clever soul, but he was the gold standard. go back 13 years to when he started to, see it crumble in three weeks is astonis

he blew off the president of the united states and rachel robinson, the widow of the most important athlete made no apologies. he didn't have to. he was tiger. no reaction other than that's interesting? >> it's just very interesting. very interesting, too, because one is the president asked me to come to mr. robinson's ceremony up in new york. it was the day i won the masters, and he said it was so important i should be there. i was just wondering if it was so important why didn't he ask me before instead of jumping on the bandwagon right when i won. that really bothered me. >> larry: did he call you personally? >> he did. i've always honored jackie robinson and know all about him, and i figured, you know what? i would rather -- i'm more of a private person and would celebrate his occasion within my heart. that was it. >> larry: how does a 22-year-old say no to the president of the united states? >> that's just me. it's not that i'm saying no to the president of the united states. i'm saying no to the way he approached it. >> larry: did you tell him the reason? did you say why didn't you ca

follows: charlie hoye, nicole duresta, kate fitzpatrick katie hagan, kate coffer, ellen maldonado, rachel myers eric raven, gary reece reden snowden, robbery stkepb ski stewart holmes, brian clark brian wilson and tom austinhoff. mr. president, it is my pleasure and privilege to be chairman of the committee. it is a great honor and i wish to make s-rpb -- make certain that we express our gratitude to all these staff people. without them, i would not be standing here at this moment. i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from mississippi. mr. cochran: mr. president thank you very much. i'm glad i was here to hear the remarks of the distinguished senator from hawaii. i serve on that subcommittee of defense appropriations with him and get to observe at close range the skill and effort and courtesy that is reflected in his service as chairman of our committee. it's a pleasure to serve with him and an honor to serve with him. he's provided leadership and cooperation, working with all senators -- not just members of our committee -- to move forward the c

the cleveland clinic, mayo clinic, geisiniger and kaiser permanent in california and i went with rachel and what we found is that the cleveland clinic and mayo have the same template. they focus on primary care. they focus on prevention and wellness. they coordinate the care of folks who have -- have receiving treatment. they provide for other patients have electronic health records. the medical malpractice coverage is provided by the mayo clinic, the cleveland clinic, all of the doctors ron salary. they've gone after what we call not just defensive medicine, but fee-for-service, and they've done a good job of reducing the problems that flow from fee-for-service that have to -- they -- they get better outcomes, they spend less money and what we tried to do in this legislation is try to take the health care delivery ideas from the nonprofits an instill them in the delivery of health, particularly in medical care. i like to shop for groceries. we have a bunch of good groceries in delaware. one of the places i shop is safeway in dover and a guy named steve byrd, b-u-r-d, have helped to for

this article goes on to say that washington, d.c., radiology rachel brem dismissed potential harm when compared to the value of detecting cancer. quote, virtually all my patients would prefer the small anxiety of a false positive with the possibility to diagnose an early breast cancer. oh, yes, mr. speaker, we women would prefer to have a little anxiety and find it early, find it, treat it appropriately and live to a ripe old age. it goes on to say that researchers of one study found that annual mammography screenings for women ages 50 to 79 resulted in an 8% medium increase in breast cancer mortality reduction. we're screening every two years -- for screening every two years it was 7%. we lose a percent if we wait every two years. for screening that beginning at age 40 and continues to age 69 researchers found a 3% median breast cancer mortality reduction with either annual or biannual screening. researchers concluded that the greater mortality reductions could be achieved by stopping screening at an older age than by initiating screening at an earlier age no recommendations were made

conditions can that administrator be sued, i'm not sure if anybody is going to stay up late and turn off rachel ladlo and watch this instead. >> and i'll complete the circle since we're talking about audio. even more bizarre than the court's power to say no over all video is the court's clear policy on when they allow audio. and one of the things that's been driving me insane is that, you know, one of the -- the only times that the public gets access to audio are in the opposite of the erisa case. the court by some metric that is unknowable to human kind decides which oral arguments are going to get this instant audio treatment and there's usually two or three a years since bush v. gore but i think it's a colossal mistake to say let's do the audio for the abortion cases, affirmative action cases, the cases that make people insane and that make the justices, i think, act out and that if you're going to allow only selective audio, my god, allow audio that's representative of what 90% of the court's docket is which is not all that sensational. but i think this current policy of allowing audio acce

and i especially want to thank megan mccarthy and rachel milberg for their outstanding efforts to help us get this bill to the floor today. so, madam president, these bills come. we are the ones who stand before everyone and take credit for them but it is our staffs and many, many people who help us get here and i truly want to thank staffs on both sides of the aisle for getting us here today. and, again, i urge our colleagues to get past our differences and move this bill quickly to the president's desk. thank you, madam president. and i yield the floor. mr. crapo: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from idaho. mr. crapo: thank you, madam president. madam president, i want to speak on both the omnibus appropriations bill to which we've just moved as well as to return and make some comments on the health care legislation from which we just retreated. first of all, with regard to the omnibus appropriations bill, i'm very concerned about the fact that as my amendment -- or my motion is pending on the health care bill dealing with one of the more important issues in the b

president, i ask unanimous consent that two staffers from my office, rachel johnson and amanda critchfield be granted floor privileges for the remainder of h.r. 3590. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. crapo: thank you, mr. president. i believe i have 20 minutes remaining, correct? the presiding officer: the senator from idaho has 17 1/2 minutes remaining. mr. crapo: i ask that the -- that i be notified when i have two minutes remaining. the presiding officer: the senator will be notified. mr. crapo: we will refer my bill to the finance committee and have it comply with the president's promise with regard to taxes. as i said a number of times on the floor, this bill does not correct so many of the problems that we need to deal with in health care. it drives up the cost of health care and premiums, not down. yet raises hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes. it cuts medicare by hundreds of billions of dollars. it grows the federal government by over $2.5 trillion in the first 10 years of full implementation. it forces the needy, uninsured -- does not give them an ac
