because bird egg shells were thinning out. we believe, because of d.d.t. and thus millions of children in the third world have lost their lives to malaria because birds were more important to those who made policy than the millions of children in the third world who were going to die as a result. . trerm there is a price to pay for listening to irrational alarmists. and there is a bill to be voted on called the clean energy and security act of 2009, i call it the destroy american jobs and use came bells act. it is a bill, of course, that is based on the theories of the manmade global warming alarmists that have demonstrated that is totally flawed and wrong science and science that people refuse to get up and defend. this bill, of course, comes at exactly the wrong time. and its negative consequences will be ever more severe in economic hard times as we are suffering right now than it would be if we were in times of prosperity. even if it was true that manmade use of co-2 was causing a warming -- global warming, it wouldn't be the time to try to implement i

poof, like a shell game. if the inadequate funding level for nasa that is contained in this bill is allowed to stand as it is, then our nation's human space flight program will be dealt a serious blow. let's look at several of the spending items in the bill. the bill increases funds for the cops program by $252 million over 2009 and this on top of $1 billion in the stimulus bill. the bill sends 7.4 billion on the census, an increase over last year. the bill increases funding for national science foundation by $446 million over 2009 to promote scientific research by students, yet, it cuts funding for human space flight. a if the head of patents and scientific discovery. . i appreciate the work that you do and the challenges before you. with that the united states cannot maintain our leadership in space if we don't have it. it is for this reason we must work to restore funding that was cut from this program. i look forward to working with you and my colleagues over the next several months to restore the funding

floor to receive intelligence briefings and intelligence community that is probably walking on egg shells, but the c.i.a. itself directed by leon panetta who has laid out that they have the documents and they have the documents and they have the proof in their notes that shows that the speaker was briefed and in line what had been taking place with the enhanced interrogation technique of three individuals and that it had already taken place prior to the briefing that she received on september 4 of 2002. this is an untenable position that must be rectified and can't go on and this congress has been shut down so we don't have a debate in this issue. i'm talking about the open amendment process to appropriation bills -- another reason is, there's a partisan interest in protecting acorn, it can't be anything else. most everybody in america at this point has heard of acorn. the association for community reform action now or however that works. but acorn was in the news constantly throughout the election cycle last fall. and i have been watching acorn for four to five years. acorn has been invo

justify the enormous spending increases in this bill, supporters paint a picture of a hollowed out shell of a state department suffering years of neglect. yet according to the congressional research service and the state department's own data, funding for the state department and related agencies doubled from fiscal year 2000 through 2008 this clearly shows that growing the bureaucracy and throwing money at the department of state are not the answers. supporters of this bill further argue that the major funding increases for the hiring of new staff are necessary even in the absence of reforms. i note that there was an effort last congress by colleagues in the other chamber to ascertain the levels of absenteeism at various u.s. government agencies. the results for the state department for impressive, in an ironic way. the department explained it does not specifically track absences without official leave. it was the only executive branch agency that could not provide such information. instead the state department only tracks those incidents in which such absenteeism reaches such an i grie

you are exactly right, too, the openness of the terrain, the lack of shell craters because the bombing happened inland. you were just kind of a proverbial fish in a barrel. no matter where you were on the beach it was likely to be under fire, whether mortar, artillery or machine gun. as far as the most underreported story of d-day, i think it is the role of the 82nd airborne. the 101st because of the evanderer brothers gets a lot of publicity and well deserved. but the 82nd had a longer and more distinguished combat record. at normandy they dropped a little further of the west and fought to secure the causeways that kind of secured the entire western flank of the utah beachhead. the 82nd airborne have some remarkable stories and they ended up dropping in the middle of flooded terrain that led to the deaths of at least 36 troopers. so i would like to see a greater appreciation of that. i think that has been a bit underreported. montgomery. of course, montgomery is a lightning rod figure. the way things have tended to break down over the years is those in britain tend to like him. those

amendment is not a senate provision that is titled our amendment made by this title such as a rocket shell fund programs appear promising in the provision shall fun programs were to train all money primary care providers in i'm, there's an exclusivity with that that i am more worried about this and think there is a legitimate case to make and the one area i care is brawl was particularly pediatrics where i can really use some help the specialization areas of pediatrics. i don't want them to be excluded or is important to do so so it is that idea that it takes where we are picking the winners and losers. >> i just want to say the reason you don't have pediatrics of specialists is you don't pay them. it is a is an same reason. you know, we have to pay and the payment their rancho between the pieta ecologist is about to honor to present. it is a but what manicure sets up and medicaid sets up the reimbursement mechanisms, if you look at the medicaid reimbursements per pediatrics of specialty is you will seem that they are paid on average of our less than what we pay under medicare for the same

the shells remember that all of us have health care.very senator, all the staff, all the house members have it -- we should bear that in mind when people talk about let's wait a little longer and see if we can push this into next year. to sum of nearly one to do that. is a fundamental choice in my judgment, is a complicated tough problem with the choice is simple. his interest in the status quo unchanged. a choice between the status quo and reform in my judgment the status quo is the enemy of reform and change so we have to choose sides. we're all conspired by people in our home state. i get a letter back in february from tricia urban inverse county pennsylvanians in the eastern side of our state am going to reach large segments because it tells us about this challenge in a way that i can never do in many hours of testimony. she talks about the fact that her husband andrew in order to complete his piece she had to enroll in a complete requirement for an internship and because of that they cannot afford covert coverage and she says and i

service of student loan companies, the banks in most cases, was -- their interest rates in an knott shell of the banks decided they had to compete with the direct student loan program set up by this congress so we saw anonymously we saw in the banking system with students loans the way we can see the public option, the public option will simply keep the insurance companies more honest and help keep prices down and help keep premiums down and help keep the copays and deductibles and check and in a word keep the insurance companies honest. today, private insurance competition insurers talk about and the defenders of private insurers and the opponents of public option talk about the private insurance competition but it's a bit of an oxymoron in a lot of places. in ohio the two largest insurance companies in my state account for 50% of the market in some cities it's literally 89% of the market. this bill -- we know that a public option but again discipline the market better in a way that wide-open competition would do. finally, mr. chairman, this bill would give providers the tools to improve
