baird: i rise in support of h.r. 2693, the federal oil spill research and development program act and we will be discussing h.r. 5716, the safer oil and natural gas drilling technology research and development act. i want to thank ms. woolsey and ranking member hall for two outstanding pieces of legislation that could not be more timely and that are tremendously important given not only the events that we're facing in the gulf today but towards trying to prevent these kinds of incidents from occurring in the future. i want to start by commending the many thousands, more than 33,000 people who are in the gulf today working on this cleanup effort. i had the privilege of traveling there recently along with members of our science committee staff. when i met with some of those folks i asked, what can we do to help? and they said the first we can do to help is tell people that we are working tremendously hard and making a difference. we have people working in more than 100-degree weather, in terribly difficult environment and they're working 12 to 14 to 16-hour days, seven days a week and t

we went inside the industry leader pampers never before seen research and development lab -- yes, a diaperab -- where over 500 scientist, chemical engineers and seamstresses are trying to improve the look and feel of the nappy. and here's sharyn alfonsi with the story. >> reporter: they are sweet. innocent. and at the center of one of the toughest battles in business. the diaper wars. in the u.s., the birth rate has been declining for more than a decade, with fewer new customers, the two industry giants, pampers and huggies, are socking it out, fighting for the precious dollars that come with diapering those precious bottoms. americans spend $7 billion worth of diapers every year. 7 billion. and the battle for those dollars has been waging for decades. >> this little baby went to market and smiled all the way home. >> reporter: this is the first diaper commercial from pampers back in 1960. >> because pampers are made with seven layers of softness. >> reporter: today, diapers are about half as bulky. that didn't happen by accident. diaper companies spend millions of dollars every year to tr

goal three was to become a recognized leader in research and development. we ended up creating ten specific research centers and creating 23 new phd programs. that may sound like you're creating these but the goal we had was to keep our young people in south dakota. and that meant diverse if iing an economy, and that meant bringing back in more research opportunities for those kids that otherwise would leave. i think that's going to change the landscape within our state. >> do you see it in your population trends? >> we do. we're keeping our kids here. we've got record enrollment at our university systems within the state. >> yes, sir. >> probably the two most important things we did, first really about a change in culture which is demonstrated by a significant reduction in the amount of time it takes us to respond to inquiries from business, to as short as a day for approval. but a very predictable fast timeframe from our department of transportation, department of natural resource. we know that when businesses are waiting in line and filling out forms, the

the united states ought to be the best place to do research and development. the united states ought to be the best place for a manufacturer to be. we have bipartisan bicameral support. it has been mired in the senate for some time. it expired at the end of last year for the 14th time. manufacturers are small, medium, and large. any notion of whether there will be retroactive extension of the credit -- the jobs credit? more than 75% of the credit goes to jobs in the united states. >> i do not want to anticipate what we will do on that. my personal view would be we need to make it retroactive again, to encourage. as you know, we have adopted statutory pay ago. i think that was the right policy to adopt. when the republicans jettisoned statutory pay-ago -- - pay-go, they eliminated the requirement. what that allowed them to do was to incur great that without consequence in terms of procedure. but the consequence was of course we created great debt without paying for it. these are subject to statutory pay go requirements. we need to pay for those tax credits. hav

mark godley, director, research and development, chestnut health systems, bloomington, illinois. extent of the problem with youth in america? our most recent survey from samhsa is that around 10 million, a little over 10 million of our young people, are using alcohol and substances. that actually breaks down to 26 percent of them are drinking and another 17 percent of them are binge drinking, which is having more than five drinks in a row at one setting. so it's a concern of ours that our young people are really starting to accelerate drinking and drugging than they have in the past.

it is very diverse in the type of research and development activities. it provides a broad spectrum of employment. the parks and open space is 50% of the land. it is a balance between natural habitat and active recreational spaces. it is a citywide and local amenity. the sports fields are citywide. it provides recreational facilities for the baby itself. this enables the completion of the bay trail. there is loss of design work get to be done in the details. -- there is lots of design work to get done -- to be done in the details. we want to extend the recognition of maritime history throughout the entire length of the trail as it goes around hunters point. we have focused in one area with this maritime cultural history park. the other aspect to the parks and open space is not only the celebration of maritime history but also the culture of the bayview. as we develop a detailed plan for each of the parks and open spaces, we will be working to flesh out the details. one of the early part to be developed is referred to as the north side park. it is approxi

be thinking about the weekend factor into the research that follows to help us explain the overall incidence of oil and response. the research and development as far as the specific research sites is really in an evolution right now. >> i am hoping that one of the things that comes out of the public meetings and hearings we will have over the next 60 days is we plan to invite, pretty broadly, the academic community. i'm hoping we would get some better ideas from that, as well. >> i would like to address that, as well. in terms of toxicity studies that are being done through a peer review process, even in the framing that has been done in consultation, with stakeholders. we think it is important to have the interim results and we will do that when they complete the study. separate from that, we felt was really critical. this is a unique situation and doing evaluations in the response of making decisions. these are unique circumstances. usually you have time to do the research. we felt the really critical to engage academia, biggio community in a variety of issues. -- engage academy and the geo- community. we want to get to the issues that pe

manufacturing drives innovation by conducting nearly half of all research and development and creating the bulk of technology in our nation. nearly 60% of exported goods are manufactured goods. every $1 in final sales in manufactured goods, supports $1.40 which is higher than any other economic sector. if we don't make things in america that even those service jobs, however, would disappear. i spent probably 2/3 of my time in congress studying and working on manufacturing issues from raw materials and minerals all the way through to export controls. in fact, within the past congress working with congressman blumenauer, crowley, and sherman, all democrats, we were able to amend section 17-c of the export administration act which has resulted in the additional billions of dollars of more aircraft parts being exported. i'm probably the only member of congress who has ever gone to wear housing school to study -- warehousing school to study the flow of manufactured items on the floor to sales. every few years the manufacturing sector in the u.s. experiences a crisis. the last report that wa

sense the cyber bully of the world because we put all of this money into this high level research and development of cyber attack weapons and cyber defense preparations and that's something that's a threat to other countries well there you go in trying to protect ourselves we once again have made ourselves the bully that the rest of the world lead. thanks for filling us in on that we have to take a break but coming up and appears the pentagon is in dire need of cash and tell you about their latest threat to congress and he's only been in charge of the war in afghanistan for days but we are getting an idea of general petraeus is new strategy will discuss that in a moment. every month we give you the future we'll do you understand how we get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us to know the update on our g. . for the we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. you know i think any washington insider could tell you the pentagon the pentagon has congress by the balls but today we have t

our tools in this area and i wanted to bring that up in the sense that there is some research and further development that needs to be done in engaging the university communities and other research organizations. but i think we gain much out of such improvement. as a second point the development of pilot projects. as mentioned again, i want to highlight it. i think it's an effective means of demonstrating something can happen. those are most effective if they involve participating decision making, and very much so in this meeting but decision making given the uncertainty. i just want to highlight that. lastly, i think the issue of comparative studies should not be underestimated. as we mentioned before, looking at the past compared to the future and what we believe the future is, again, looking at doing something about potential climatic change verses in case we don't do something about it, i think again, would provide a place for public communication and regulation process. >> thank you. yes? >> i'm with the hydrologist, barry wilson eluded to this, i think it's important to monitor what is happenin

. >>> the house also passed a second bp related bill to fund research and development for safer oil andrilling. >>> all right. we spent a lot of time earlier in the newscast talking about an unusually cool weather. let's get more perspective from our chief meteorologist, bill martin. bill, it's just really cold out there. >> yeah, temperatures below the average. outside we go to the isotherm map. look how it bellies into the delta area, right? and then all of a sudden you hit the valley and there's the heat. you can see the heat shunted to the east. what's gonna change, the heat will move to the west. we'll see upper 80s. the forecast calls for low clouds and fog tonight as we've seep. but the big difference tomorrow, it burns off quickly. today it was slow to burn off. the long-range forecast calls for a slight warmup. it's not gonna get hot but temperatures will feel hot because tomorrow san jose at 81 degrees is a good 10 degrees warmer than it was today. it will feel very warm considering it's been he cool. this low pressure center shouldn't be there. it's been that he. it was there

the goal was to become a recognized leader in civic areas of research and development. we created tens as a big research centers. we created 23 new ph.d. programs -- and a specific -- ten specific research centers. we created 23 new ph.d. programs. it is changing landscape. >> do you see the change? >> we do. we're keeping the children here. we have record enrollment at our universities. but yes, sir. >> two -- yes, sir. >> there was a signatory reduction in the amount of time it takes us to respond to inquiries -- a significant reduction in the amount of time it takes us to respond to inquiries. it is a very fast time frame from the department transportation and the department of natural resources. they're not putting the people of delaware to work if they are filling out forms. that is critically important. again on -- you cannot overstate the importance of education. the race to the top composition was huge. the economic development committee meeting after this will focus on these issues. that is an advertisement. >> governor ritter? >> we really staked their future o

campaign originally called for a fifteen billion dollar and police and the federal clean energy research and development budget but unfortunately all we've been talking about is putting a cap on carbon i think the opportunity that we have though is to really take a third way strategy we see the comprehensive cap and trade is on for you know it's dead right now in congress but i think what we can do is really get a bipartisan consensus that this is a critical you know this is a critical industry for you how do you how do you do that because you know everything you're saying seems logical to me but if you look at americans and you throw the words cap and trade their way you throw all these numbers their way of how much different businesses are investing and that doesn't relate to that i mean how do you bring out the will in the american people to actually want to change their lifestyles to want to purchase a cheap electric car instead of driving a big fancy s.u.v. especially when the rest of the world is trying to emulate america and trying to get to where we're at right now i think you need an agenda tha

so support for research and development and technology. think we have a lot of talented people but there are some limitations on the talent side. i actually think we should loosen up the requirements on some of the visas so that companies thinking about expanding know they can get the talent if they need it. >> woodruff: you mean from abroad. >> from abroad. and then we need to make sure that our educational system including our community colleges is actually providing the kind of skilled workforce. we need people that as the earlier comment was not just to get a job because you know your cousin there but because you have the right skill, the right ability to use a computer, to use the machinery. those are the skills that we have to have to go forward. >> woodruff: mickey maynard, what else would you say about what the workers tomorrow, next month, next year, next decade have to do to be ready for the manufacturing of the future? >> it's going to be an atmosphere in which you may need at least a community college degree if not a bachelor's

re-authorization bill we are considering today makes important steps forward in improving the research and development conducted by d.h.s. and i look forward to having the science and technology committee work with the chairwoman's subcommittee in exercising our oversight and continue to improve the vital research capacity at the department of homeland security. thank you very much, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york -- the gentlewoman from new york reserves her time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. lungren: at this time i'd like to yield to the gentleman from ohio. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio voiced for two minutes. mr. austria: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman from california for yielding and i rise in support of h.r. 484 , the homeland security -- 4842, the homeland security act of 2010. this bipartisan legislation is the first authorization bill for the science and technology directorate of the department of homeland security since the department was created in 2002. the science and technology

of the technology itself -- and less risk research keeps pace development of the technology itself, there's the potential to over-regulate. finally, i would recommend that the federal government needs to meet with state college, including state and local governments and -- to meet with stakeholders, including state and local governments and looking to the research of synthetic biology. they offer promised for promising biology to address some of our most pressing environmental and health needs. having an effective regulatory regime in place when the commercial products move into the pipeline, it is important that they keep ahead of the technology and the risks. >> thank you. that is something that we will definitely take to heart. our last speaker of the day is a supervisory special agent in the fbi's weapons of mass destruction directorate bioterrorism prevention plan. he uses programs and activities to coronate and improve the fbi entered agency efforts to respond -- in their agency -- interagency efforts to respond. your background could not be more rele

two, the united states ought to be the best place for research and development. it should be the best place for a manufacturer to be. regarding the r and d credit, it is mired in the senate for sometime. it expired at the end of last year for the 14th time. manufacturers claim 70% of the r aye d credits. any prognosis whether there will be a rhett acttive extension this year of the credit which is a jobs credit because more than 0e% of the credit dollars go to r & d jobs in the united states. >> i'm hoping -- i don't want to anticipate what -- what -- what we'll do on that. my own personal view would be, we need to make it retro active again to encourage. as you know, we have adopted statutory pay bill. that was the right policy to adopt because when the republicans jetsonned the statutory pay bill in 2003, as a practical matter they can jetsonned in 2001 and 2 002. they actually eliminated the pay go requirement. what that allowed them to do was incur great debt without consequence. the consequence was we created great debt without paying for it. these are subjec

to start blasting growth, we have invested in science and technology, research and development, clean energy projects that will strengthen our global leadership. 80 months ago, american companies commanded just 2% -- 18 months ago, american companies commanded just 2% of battery technology. we have leveraged private investment and by 2012 we expect america's capacity to reach 20% of the global market and as high as 40% in 2015. government has another responsibility and that is to remove barriers that stand in the way of opportunity and prosperity so that our people, all of our people, our workers, our intrepid ores, ceo's, can build the future we seek. in my state of the union address, i set a goal for america. over the next five years, we will double our exports of goods and services around the world. this will be an increase that will boost economic growth and support millions of american jobs in a manner that is deficit-friendly. export growth leads to job growth and economic growth. in 2008, american exports accounted for nearly 7% of our total employment, one in three manufacturi

we were granted access to pampers' never before seen research and development center. trying to improve the look and the feel of the nappy. >> okay, i can't even say that. >> that's the analytical chromatography lab. >> okay. >> reporter: their work is surprisingly top secret. no one, not even executives like terry halley, have access to every room. here, they're working on prototypes for new diapers. they are tested for scent, touch, flexibility, and durability. >> we want to make sure that as babies, they're scooting around on their bottom, and moving, that that product stays together and stays as intended the entire wear time. >> 23.4 pounds. >> yeah! >> good boy. >> good job! >> reporter: and that's before they bring in the babies for realtime testing. this is called a fit and load test. >> hang on tight. >> reporter: fit to make sure they're comfortable. and then the load. >> tickle? >> reporter: those bubbles are synthetic urine. each diaper is tested for how much it can take before it leaks. which is why when dozens of mothers complained on facebook about pampers

need to explore, and those include a secure a test site that we have been doing nuclear research and development on for years, and that we have been transporting since 1974 this nuclear material. we need not be afraid, and the governor knows this. he is our person who has been promoting this. people need to understand we need to bolster our economy, and one of those ways is to take something harry reid has demonized for years and explore the potential. let's take a look at what we have got. finally, i would like to say this again. remember, we have the right contract with america, and that is our constitution. [applause] we have the right message for america. it is reagan's message, lower taxes, more individual freedom and cuts to spending we have the right angle to defeat harry reid. [applause] i know all of you in this room can vote for me, but i want you to do me a favor. i want you to send out to all of your relatives and friends -- i want you to tell them that may not -- they may not be allowed to vote for me, but they can help us by sending money to sharronangle.com. we need their help, an

murray stewart vice president for drug research and development. >> overall, when used appropriately, rosiglitazone has a positive benefit/risk profile and should remain a treatment for type 2 diabetes. >> reporter: this isn't the first time the safety of avandia -- also known as rosiglitazone-- has been called into question. in 2007, an analysis from a cleveland clinic cardiologist showed avandia patients had 43% increase in the risk of heart attacks, and a 64% increase in the risk of death from cardiovascular causes. despite that finding and other studies, an f.d.a. advisory panel voted that same year to keep avandia on the market, with the recommendation a stronger warning be added to the drug's label. the senate finance committee began investigating avandia three years ago. and yesterday, it released internal glaxo documents showing the drug giant hid a 1999 study that revealed avandia's heart risks. a company executive wrote in an email message dated march 29, 2001. "these data should not see the light of day to anyone outside gsk." even though avandia's sales have dropped from $

the entitlements and the debt will eat up dollars for education, for research and development. it will two dollars for transport infrastructure. republicans will not control things if they gain the house, but merely have a seat at the table and try to balance things. look at other options besides spending. as republicans, we generally believe people are more capable of spending money on our own behalf then government is. we prefer to have money returned to citizens and spend it ourselves. sometimes that works as better stimulus. we want to extend tax cuts to return people's own money so they can go out to stores and consume. this debt issue is huge. it has been building for years. when you look at what is happening now with stimulus spending, and retirement of baby boomers, it becomes a real crisis. republicans are saying give us a seat at the table to help resolve these issues. these will be resolved by both sides sitting down. right now in washington it is all blue. host: good morning. caller: i just wanted to tell the guest that i grew up republican, and no longer an republic

wawent into research and development to say this is the right size rather than the size of a blackberryan iphone? >> we did a lot of work. the kindle has only been in the market 33 months, which is astonishing to me because we've seen a rapid transition now selling more kindle than hardcover books, we've sold millions of these devices but we worked on the kindle three years before we launched it, we have been working on it six years even though it's only been in the market a short time. one of the things we did was look at kind of paperback formats, mass-market paperbacks, trying to find the smallest size that we thought would really be conducive to long-form reading so we have also been trying to make sure -- most of the devices that have been developed by we humans over the last couple of decades have tilted the world toward short-form reading so internet-connected computers, and smart phones and so on are great for short email messages. they're great for blog posts. they're not great for 300-page books. we were focused -- we wanted to find a display size that we thought would work, w
