we have carried our fallen heroes to these fies for 146 year it the rows of marble headstones -- thef how -- the rows of moral headstones are a testament of howell one generation honors and remembers the next. and how these sacrifices stretch to the present day. less visible year, but equally a part of memorial day is the sacrifice me by the families of those we have lost. for every fallen hero laid to rest, there is a mother and father who will not see their child through life's milestones. foremost, there is a spouse who must live -- for most, there is a spouse who must live without their partner. and for many, there is a child without thitheir parents to guie them. today, we honored not only those who made the ultimate sacrifice, but we honor all of those who shared the loss. even as we acknowledge the suffering that war has brought, we affirm the sacred commitment to our nation has ma to perpetuate its ideals. if lincoln at gettysburg asked whether a new nation -- lincoln at gettysburg asked whether a new nation in seeking liberty cannot prolong in door. the answer is all around

do you think it would be appropriate for her to respond about whether row v wade was correctly decided? >> you actually asked several questions. one, how i feel about her writing. i thought she was right. she probably may have second thoughts about that now being a nominee. i told hers that one of the areas she is going to be asked, the question about how forts coming. it's been my experience that nominees to the supreme court shouldn't be less than less forth coming. i think she will be asked a number of questions. on row versus wade, if asked that question, i suspect an answer is this is settled law and we should rely on settled law. but as we have seen in some recent hearings, say as as a justice, i'm like an umpire, i call the bals and strikes. and settled law. so one i think she is right in saying that we should get more information. but secondly, i would suspect that it will be difficult to get really specific information. >> so if you could answer the second part. then what's if point aff owl all of this? >> i think you try to get as much information as you can. and there have b

the gentleman in the fronn row? >> david silverberg, homeland security today magazine. there have been reports of shots exchanged, and so forth, with mexican military forces along the border and of mexican military forces escorting drug shipments and so forth. what impact is that having on these initiatives and on u.s.- mexican relations along the border for the future? >> why don't i take that and also ask deputy commissioner aguilar also to address that look. as noted, i've worked this border and this border area a long time. there are, from time to time, reports, some verified, some unverified. it's awfully difficult out there to attribute the identity of any particular group that is moving along the border. but as individual incidents arise, we deal with our mexican counterparts about that in an appropriate way. let me say this, however. our cooperation with and working on day-to-day working relationship with mexican federal law enforcement has never been stronger, and, as someone said earlier today, part of it is about relationships and knowing the people who have

there was also a big row about termination fees. there were charging $200 to change services. now they are providing that. the industry is responding. the regulators raised the issues. those are the things we have to be careful of. sometimes, the consumer has a different expectation from the company than what the company delivers. we have to make as much as much as possible. when consumers are bounced out they have to have a place to go. they are not going to go to the s.e.c. and they are not going to go to federal district court. they do broad class actions. state regulators have to have a role in settling those complaints, which mostly result in companies being the party in the right. we need to have some place to park those complaints. the states are the best way to have that done. >> oregon was particularly hard hit by the financial crisis. the realistic foreclosure rate hassbeen really high. has that complicated the telecommunications business and the regulation thereof? >> the growth that was going on obviously is. the utah commission basis -- the telecommunication busin
