remembering how the death of one man in 1989 in april was a spark that ignited the tiananmen uprising. they declared a time of extreme sensitivity, put the armed police on special alert and ordered the railways to screen all travelers heading for beijing. these are not the actions of their regime that feels secure. on the contrary, they are the actions of the regima regime ths it is sitting on top of a volcano that is about to erupt, or at the center of an earthquake hazard zone. the reason for this insecurity was spelled out last month in an election in beijing by the well- known chinese scholar and sociologists. the chinese system, he explained, with deep and obvious concern, is characterized by what he calls "rigid stability." stability that is based on closed and scores of power where there is no rule of law to protect people's legitimate interests or to prevent the rulers from abusing the people and lining their own pockets. the dominant feature of social governance in such a system of rigid stability, he said, is dichotomized black-and-white thinking, in which the expression of

the energy bill passed at the house will spark a clean energy transformation in our economy. it will spur the development of wind, solar, geothermal power and cleaner coal. it will spur new energy savings like the efficient windows and other materials that produce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer. it will make possible the creation of millions of new jobs. make no mistake, we have are the scene of this is true in another recovery act. in california, three dozen people will be employed to build a new solar plant that will create a thousand permanent jobs. in michigan, investment in when technology is expected to create over 2600 jobs. in florida, green solar products will employ 1400 people. the list goes on and on. this legislation will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy. it will lead to the creation of new businesses and industries which will lead to american jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced. i have often talked about the need to build a new foundation for economic growth so that we do not return to the endless cycle

it has sparked -- it was sparked in part by that sputnik soviet launch.hat was the public statement about why they did it, to help us get to the moon. we did not think it was a good idea. our country is very unusual. this society is separate from the government. sovereignty is located outside the government. that never really happened before. would take huge pride in the federalist papers in the idea that is the first purely represented form of government ever started. that means that places that trained leadership of the country had always been outside the government. there was a hesitation on our part about that. we did not take any direct money for a long time. in the 1960's there was a debate at the college about it in the members of our board. richman said you are going to go bankrupt if you do not take it. i recommend on the basis of a task force report that we have to start taking this money. the vote was 16-2 against it. this was in 1966 or 1967. i have the minutes. there was a prayer for the college after they voted that day. there is always that

we need to take the steps necessary to move beyond the capitol practices and mind sets that have sparked widespread outrage. while the taxpayer funded bail outs of major institutions and major companies were necessary to avert deeper harm to the ee condition my to our society, the phenomenon is frout with danger and perceived as downright unfair. current reforms must have an eye of reducing this in the future. there's been similar issues associated with executive excess compensation. there are many excellent c.e.o.s of u.s. corporations they add tremendous value to their share holders, employees and society. but i think it rubs people the wrong way when an executive gets paid millions and then after they have run the company into the ground, they are given $50 million to leave. my concern has been that these kind of practices were eating away at the fabric of our society. i'm hardened that there now seems to be more widespread recognition of this problem. don't get me wrong, i am not in favor of the government setting and enforcing specific pay levels in the private sector but the invest

together these initiatives will not only sparked job growth today, but we are convinced they will serve as a platform for an economic growth for tomorrow not based on the bubble, based on sound, economic, practices and growth. we are working to build that foundation. i think we are making some discernible progress. i remain confident that the country will emerge stronger from this recession. we will take steps to reform the excesses'. last time we were in a recovery, we saw a productivity increase and the middle-class lost 3% of the economy and they got 3% behind. when this growth occurs, we hope everyone can share in it. the president and i will commit everything we can. in the end, it will be the enduring spirit and boundless ingenuity of the american people, that will allow us to prevail. some encouraging signs, but we have a long way to go. thank you. >> earlier today, the president held at joint news conference. they visited the concentration camp. his next destination is france tomorrow with stops in paris and normandy, where he will observe the 65th anniversary of d-day. he was -

this legislation will spark a clean energy transformation that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and the pollution that threatens our planet. it was poor -- spur the development of new sources of energy. it will spur new energy savings like a efficient windows and other material to read these -- to reduce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer. it will lead to the development of new technologies, new industries that can create millions of new jobs in america that will not be shipped overseas. at a time of great fiscal challenges, this legislation is paid for by the polluters who currently emit the dangerous carbon emissions that contaminate the water, and pollute the air that we breed. it provides assistance to businesses and communities as they make the transition to clean energy technology. i think this legislation is very important for our country. i want to thank the energy and commerce committee, henry waxman, his colleagues, and everyone such as charlie rangel, the chair of the agricultural committee for their many ongoing contributions to this proc

spence "newsmakers," california congressman pete sparked discuss this legislation working its way through congress. he talks about one proposal that would establish a public health insurance plan to compete with private plans. >> at the end of the day, if you choose to have competition and you choose to have a plan that is dependable and affordable, you cannot do it without having a public plan there. that creates the competition for the private plans. so yes, there will be a public plan in the bill. will people vote for it? i don't know who wants to go home in next year's primary and say i voted against the plan that is going to provide 30,000 people in my district, most of whom are nonwhite, ports, working, do not have a way now to get insurance. i vote against giving them away to pay their doctor and hospital bills. i don't think that is a vote many people want to make. that is tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern, here on c-span. >> people don't want to think of roosevelt's conservation as a policy as much as a passion. he put aside 240, almost 240 million acres of wild americ

but you need somebody to spark those ideas, to organize those with ideas, and to marshal those ideas. john kennedy once said that winston churchill marshalled the english language and sent it into battle in world war ii. there much truth it that. to the extent there is truth in that there is also truth that al from took a bunch of us who were very interested, some of whom you have seen here, some of whom were backstage -- chuck robb, sam nunn, dick gephardt -- and i was one of the first people in that organization and al made us put up each $1,000 apiece, which now seems like a small sum but in 1985 seemed like a very large sum. my campaign account was not nearly as large as, luckily, it is today. and we were very proud of that organization and it was somewhat controversial and has remained controversial because al has kept the organization, through many great leaders like bill clinton, like harold ford -- is harold still here? if harold were speaking he would have stayed, i guarantee you. tell him i said so, will you, please? or just yell at the television when you see him come on. b

this legislation will spark a clean energy transform that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and confront the carbon pollution that threatens our planet. this energy bill will create a set of incentives that will spur the development of new sources of energy, including wind, solar and geothermal power. it will also spur the new energy savings like efficient windows and other materials that reduce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer. these incentives will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy. and that will lead to the development of new technologies that lead to new industries that could create millions of new jobs in america. jobs that can't be shipped overseas. at a time of great fiscal challenges, this legislation is paid for by the polluters who currently emit the dangerous carbon emissions that contaminate the water we drink and pollute the air that we breathe. it also provides assistance to businesses and communities as they make the gradual transition to clean energy technologies. so i believe that this legislation is extraordinari

so together, these initiatives will not only spark job growth today but we are absolutely convinced they'regoing to serve as a foundational platform for an economic growth spurt of tomorrow, not based on a bubble but based on real sound economic practices. and growth. and we're working to build that foundation every day we're here. and i think we're making some discernible progress. i remain confident that the country is going to emerge in this recession and ematernal stronger and wiser than it was before we went in. we're going to take steps to reform the excesses that brought this economy down. to ensure that the benefits of growth are shared with hard-working and middle class families. last time we were in a recovery, we had productivity increase and people lost 3%, middle class folks lost 3% of their economy, the productivity grew 20%. and they've got 3% behind. that's not the objective of this administration. so when this growth occurs, we hope everyone's going to share in it. we think it will. so president obama and i are going to do everything we can to meet the goals we stated but i

forcefully about just what we can accomplish if we set our sights on this innovation economy that is sparked by a green energy arena and the numbers of jobs that we can create in this clean energy career ladder. . it's a way to provide opportunities for those emerging members of the work force and train and retrain our existing work force as we look at the opportunities out there, they are immense. and representative polis, you talked about the fear and despair approach taken by some as they try to message in very negative terms the work that's being done in this area. well, a $475 billion bill that finds money going to foreign imports for fossil-based fuels could be referenced as a tax. we might say we are paying our bills for the energy supply we need, but it's taxing our economy and more importantly it's taxing households. families that could otherwise be producing here in america the supplies we need with american jobs, american no-how, american intellect. as i listened to our representative from new mexico, as representative heinrich spoke of that global race back in -- from the decades

aggressive efficiency standards for common household appliances like refrigerators and ovens which will spark innovation, save consumers money, and reduce energy demand. so today we are announcing additional action to promote energy efficiency across america. actions that will create jobs in the short run and save money and reduce dangerous emissions in the long run. the first step we are taking sets new efficiency standards on fluorescent and incandescent lighting. and i know lightbulbs may not seem sexy, but this simple action holds enormous promise because 7% of all the energy consumed in america is used to light our homes and businesses between 2012 and 2042 these standards will save consumers to $4 billion a year, a concerted of electricity to power every home in america for ten months. reduce emissions equal to the amount produced by 166 million cars each year and eliminate the need for as many as 14 coal-fired power plants. and by the way, we are going to start here at the white house. secretary chu has already started to take a look at the light bulbs and we will see what we need to r

them and see the potential that exists today and that can grow into the future, that can't help but spark the interests. how many young people were watching the first step on the moon. how many people chose to be scientists and engineers to go along that path. our community colleges that are there as the campus of choice in so many communities where they can train and retrain a work force to become those stewards of the environment that will help us in this agenda to be most energy efficient and to grow r&d opportunities in the lab. this is a tremendous opportunity to lift up from an economic crisis that has hampered a lot of progress for this country and has denied competitiveness for our manufacturing base. mr. heinrich: this is our generation's apollo project. and we intend to meet it, not cede that leadership to someone else. when you discuss these issues, independence, ingenuity, entrepreneurship, conservation, those are things our nation has been built upon. and we can't turn our back on them now. mr. polis: what started this whole discussion is the cost ofing action and we are talk

general approach i've outlined today stpherpls a -- in terms of a systemic risk council hopefully will spark the debate so we don't default to further empowering an extraordinarily important and critical institution in terms of the federal reserve without a thorough debate about this issue. i ask unanimous consent that the full statement -- my full statement be made part of the record, and, mr. president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: objection is so ordered. mr. kyl: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from arizona. mr. kyl: the problems with the current state of health care in america are well known. republicans don't need to be convinced for the case for reform. we hear from our constituents who have concerns about their own health care dilemmas and those of their neighbors. we all agree that the millions of uninsured americans need access to high-health care. though we agree on the need for reform we have disagreements on how best to accomplish our goals. republicans favor a patient-centered approach that allows individuals to choose their own insurance, keep it
