. >> nefcom month professor murphy from the university of southern california. >> thank you chairman frank. we are here today in large part because we are angry that merrill lynch and aig paid huge bonuses after the bailout funds. our anger coupled with their suspicions that the culture is the root cause of the ongoing financial crisis has led to an effective prohibition on cash bonuses for tire percipience and is leading us today towards more sweeping regulation of compensation in financial services firms. i agree there are problems with compensation structures in the financial firms and most other sectors but is my opinion the constraints already currently on tire percipience will likely destroy those organizations unless they can quickly paid the government and avoid the constraints. margaret is my opinion that regulating compensation and financial-services more broadly will cripple one of our nation's most important historically most productive industries. the heavy reliance on bonuses has long been a defining feature of wall street compensation going back to the days when they w

efforts to resolve the conflict in southern sudan, a conflict which has left over two million people dead and another four million displaced. today, there's universal acknowledgment that if the comprehensive peace agreement between the north and south fails there can be little help -- hope for darfur. unfortunately, the terms of this peace agreement have not yet been fully implemented and observers consistently warn that it could fail at any time. with the national elections due this year and reports of deadly conflict within and among various armed groups on the rise, the stakes cannot be higher. during the presidential campaign, each of the candidates assured voters that sudan would be a major priority for their administrations and spoke of robust actions that would need to be taken in order to resolve sudan's multiple conflicts. while serving in the united states senate, president barack obama called for oil sanctions and the imposition of a no-fly zone over darfur. while working for the brookings institution, u.s. ambassador for the u.n., susan rice, went so far to call for military action against the sudanese regime. but then on april 22, 2009

southern states, the candidates elected have limited appeal for the general electorate. from the american enterprise institute here in washington, she's joined by richard pildes of new york university law and michael carvin. this is about two hours. >> thank you very much for joining us at today's event. i'm henry olson. i'm vice president at the american enterprise institute and director of its national research initiative. the nri is an entity with aei that financially supports original research and writing on questions of domestic public policy. and is the proud sponsor of the book that's the subject of today's event. voting rights and wrongs, the elusive quest for racially fair elections available for purchase at www.aei.org, i might add. the five most important words in american political history are all men are created equal. ultimately, virtually every political question is how to apply these words to the question at hand and every one of those applications requires americans to answer three questions. who are men? what does it mean to be created equal? and does being created equal imply an inequality of fact in light of the circumstances and the question at hand. nowhere ca

is universal agreement on both sides of the aisle that the united states needs a coordinated comprehensive strategy for sudan which balances the united states' imperatives in darfur and in southern sudan. this amendment simply goes one step further by giving the current administration the opportunity to resolve any outstanding issues with regard to the united states' policy towards sudan by formulating such a strategy and reporting this strategy back to the united states congress. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. does anyone seek time? for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? mr. berman: mr. chairman, i rise to take the opposition even though i do not oppose the amendment. the chair: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. berman: mr. chairman, the gentleman's amendment encourages the administration to create a comprehensive interagency strategy and implementation plan for sudan. i have spoken with mr. mccaul about his proposal and agree that developing a coherent approach to this situation in sudan is critical. the united states must make every effort to address the ongoing and interrelated crises in sud
