one is, the cue ddr, which is what aid and state are working together now, this is happening in realtime i think that's an opportunity to work on the integration, the alignment and partnering between a.i.d. and state and how that marrying up with the qdr, department of defense document, a place where you can get the three main actors in the security mix coordinating plans, as echelon, at the very highest level. if you click down one, i think kip has an exact, general ward has it exactly right. which is, it's the planning. it's the planning we watt to go after, because that's where our other agencies are off doing their plans and we're doing our plans and then we meet in afghanistan and the plans aren't particularly aligned. so i think bringing together a layer of planning below that strategically represented by the qdr and qddr, think in terms how we can encourage the agencies to do plans together to have transparency and planning, to show across the board what the big muscle movements are country by country and integrate those plans so there's not duplication. as general ward said, one

no realtime, now transfer of anything, simply some concessions down the line that look like, if they're able to pass socialized medicine would be irrelevant anyway. that's what i saw happened. tarp, troubled are he leaf program, $350 billion under bush, $350 billion under ob, so the a.i.g., the insurance company, nationalized, fannie mae, freddie mac, when one of them lost $13w6 billion in the last quarter, $16 billion, mr. speaker, all of that out of the pockets of the taxpayers. the taxpayers are on the hook to ensure that these now wholly owned government entities, fannie mae and freddie mac,, those liabilities have been accepted by executive order of president obama last december in the amount of contingent liblingts of -- liabilities of $5.5 trillion. still the taxpayers continue to go to work every day and send their money into the federal government and still this federal government's heart is hardened and can't seem to come to grips with the massive responsibility that they have accepted and transferred over onto the people of america. and while all this is going on, the communi

system in absence of reform will be the industry for collecting, analyzing, retrieving, making in realtimed the right data available. health care is and ought to be a wash in information. the issue is not to produce the information. it will drown people in the information. the issue is to use it right. there will be a huge industry associated with it and just as there is productivity enhancing with everything which is about using information well. if you ask what the most productive firms do, many of them are using information well. that's the first part. the second part that is more fundamental is changing compensation arrangements. we pay for medical care based on where the care takes place. does it take place in the hospital and does it take place in the physician's office and does it take place in the pharmacy and a lab and does it take place in a nursing home or the patient's home through a home health base? there is nobody that i know of who cares where they get their care. they care only did they get better. the fundamental conception did it get better and when it gets better, what

subsequently that intelligence interrogation has resumed but we'll never know what kind of realtime intelligence was lost as a result of the reading of miranda rights. when you try people in article 3 courts, you're going to have to quickly provide these miranda rights and that ordinarily will mean that you give up importan important -- potentially give up important intelligence that you could gain by interrogating the individual. now, it is not the case that necessarily you would be for -- that you would not -- you would be foreclosed from trying the individual in article 3 court because you can rely on something other than the confession of the individual to gain his conviction. in the case of the would-be bomber on christmas day, there was plenty of physical evidence. he was burned badly, there were eyewitnesses, and you didn't need a confession of the individual. so the measure ran dieing in that -- mirandizing in that case was largely irrelevant. but the point being what we ought to be doing is getting the intelligence first and then deciding what is the appropriate court in which to try th

right the essence of the plan is being tweeted to draw attention to the content in realtime as we deliver it to all of you. the printed version will be taken to congress this afternoon and tomorrow but digital version can be downloaded across america in seconds. the plan also recognizes that while broadband makes it easier to obtain information about the government it can disrupt traditional media that play a vital role. commissioner copps pointed this out to us along the way and i look for additional work to build on what we've done in the plan. public safety may benefit most for the broadband. it recommends a network that will bring capabilities of broadband to tough operational problems our first responders enter. when they really need to network they really need to network. the plan outlines a range of activities to make sure our first-ondersave jobs. kristin cane and her team did a marvelous job on the plan and pleasure to work with all of them. in addition to kristin brian david and let to work that formed a second, of the plan in important ways. i should thank fcc rookies and veter

think could save tremendous amount of money, better service and get reimbursed for that is if we had realtimetion. we're getting incentives to our hospitals. sharing this information. and to me, if we can get the physicians and all the -- tied into this system so we know that so and so on the medicaid card on friday was over at dr. smith's and friday night they come and dr. johnson and saturday morning they come over here to dr. jones. you've got a situation. wait a minute here. there is a pattern going on. we have a hard time with that now. the way the system is set up. being able to share that information and work back and forth. so you asked me the greatest ability for us to save, not just for ourselves but for this government would be the i.t. arena. >> i was talking yesterday to one of your former colleagues, howard dean. who brought up the statistic that i thought was pretty sobering. he claims that of the medical school grattons of 2008, only 9% were going into primary care. which, i think everyone agrees points to a huge problem as we have 30 million plus more people coming into the h
