as a matter of fact, we stipulate that exhibit 297 and i made that stipulation, that stipulation number 57 -- i'm sorry, 59 but that was the exclusive meeting. when the district of columbia relied -- >> just a minute, mr. kennedy. it's not helpful to hold up a brief and say stipulation number 59. we don't -- if you want to make a point, make it so we can all understand it.

number 57, i'm sorry, 59 -- [inaudible] >> in that stipulation i don't understand -- [inaudible] >> he was so wrapped up in the details that chief justice rehnquist became very and the late and told him to stop it and then he kept going, practiced stipulation 57 and it unfortunately just kept going that way. he never took on the first amendment argument that was crucial to the case, and in fact he again got so impassioned about the fruit that his clients grew that it became a real embarrassment and we can go to the third clip, not the second but the third and he was arguing his clients grow green plums and the ads should have been about green plums because they have a bad reputation. people think that green plums are on the right and will have that affect some people, so if we play that. >> [inaudible] [laughter] >> said he was directing to justice scalia, who was so flummoxed why are you telling me i shouldn't buy green plums for my wife, i've never seen a green plum. he wasn't trying humor but it came across terribly and completely fell flat. in the end -- maybe that's the bell fo

>> in that stipulation, i got a problem. i don't understand what some of you are specifying in your questions. you gave me every opportunity to show me. and the stipulation that was entered into is the usda relies on exhibitors -- >> well, you can see he was so wrapped up in the details that chief justice rehnquist became very annoyed and told him, you know, to stop it and then he kept going. went back to stipulation 57. and it, unfortunately, it just kept going in that vein. he never really took on the first amendment argument that was very crucial to the case and, in fact, he again got so impassioned about the fruit that he was -- his clients grew that it was a real embarrassment and we can go to the third clip, not the second, the third where he was arguing that his clients grow green plums and the ads really should have been been about green plums because they have a bad reputation. people think green plums are unripe and will have bad affects on people. so you can play that. >> and give them to your wife and you're thin

technically it is a creature of congress, technically congress could stipulate the money supply growth, that's the last thing we want is two have politicians with their eyes on the electoral calendar stipulating money supply in this country because they will only stipulate lose money to get them past the next election. we have these things every two years so we would constantly have lose money. the problem is that when the fed is involved as it now is in allocating credit when we have it printed as a public utility, the quantity cost which will be determined in this town washington, i don't see how then can be remaining independent. >> host: how do you feel about the direction of the economy is going right now? >> guest: in the economy or economic policy? >> guest: economy as a result of it is my the so-called stimulus money has been spent under 10% i'm pretty sure that whenever his happening can be credited to are blamed on stimulus. the markets go up and the markets go down. in the early years of the last century someone's on jpmorgan on the street and said mr. morgan, what will the

but even if he were right if one stipulated that, and i don't for a minute, but if one stipulated the global warming models were right the economic calamity that comes from adding to the costs of all of america's business is intolerable and the burden that it shifts onto future generations and what it does to our economy, our culture and civilization are intolerable, madam speaker. and so let them make the case once as muhammad ali said after he fought joe frazier to a tie in 15 rounds, was this, you tied how come you're still the world champ, you've got to whoop the champ. the champ is free enterprise, the champ is sound science, the champ is empirical data. the champ is the history of the united states succeeding by believing we can achieve and by making logical conclusions with the science we have and the economics we have. by the way, it's free enterprise not nationalization and let's add an extra czar or two to this list of 22, let's do the denationalization czar, the exit strategy czar, put those two people together and maybe they can get to work to eliminate the other czars and

i would like to find out stipulation between this bill, the automobile has to be made in america by america, not before in imports even though it may be eight leota as long as it's built in america. >> host: is there a stipulation in the bill? >> guest: there were attempts to attach but there's plenty of world trade organization issues that the u.s. can't start -- difficulty to tie that kind of language to legislation. >> host: good morning on the democratic line. >> caller: hello, can you hear me? excellent. i'm from virginia and the last call actually asked what i wanted to ask about the car having to be made in america. i and dr. a kia and i'm going to drive it for ever it's lasted me so long. i was thinking it would be great if u.s. car manufacturers could pair up with some of their competitors because we could learn a lot. also this program i guess there is environmental and economic benefits. with this program take care of those huge trucks you see out there billowing smoke, the large multi wheeled trucks that carry material across the country and one of? with this program do somethin

the constitution stipulates that the he nume rations to be conducted in such manner as they, congress, shall be law direct. congress through title 13 of u.s. code has delegated this responsibility to the secretary of commerce and within the department of commerce to the bureau of the census. let me be very clear on this point. the constitution stipulates that congress shall direct how the census is to be conducted and congress delegated this responsibility to the bureau of the census, not the office of the white house chief of staff. the united states census should remain independent of politics. it should not be directed by political operatives working out of the white house. such a move is especially troubling considering the census at the time was considering entering into a national partnership with acorn, an organization ripe with internal corruption and that was responsible for multiple instances of vote fraud in the 2008 presidential election. asking an organization like acorn to help recruit the 1.4 million temporary workers that will go door to door is akin to inviting the fo

. >> i stipulated that. >> a doctor should be considered >> but i'm hearing at least from mr. hamm that it is your company's policy that they are rescinded by another company it is a no go coming to your company. that is correct, right? i heard you correctly. mr. collins, once you find out whether it is are not come at you think it ought to be? .. investigated and considered. >> most of your company policies approved the decision to rescind if an applicant made any material misrepresentations or omissions in the applications and i understand that. how does your company ensure the applicant was aware of the condition or notation its? we have had testimony along those lines, and we have seen some in some of the files where they say you know, my doctor never told me that. and we have letters from physicians who say that's correct. i make notes of the time in the medical files. i didn't tell the patient that. where's the balance here? mr. hamm? >> we have a very fair and thorough process determining if there was a material misrepresentation. the process revolves several layers of

this is clearly stipulated. sanction measures are implemented exclusively under article 41 of the u.n. charter which does not provide for use of military force. the inspection regime on the high seas will be exclusively applied. it has a completely defined framework which describes a situation of the nuclear test is on precedent. the russian delegation has contributed to the fact that in the resolution there was detailed provisions in support of the political, diplomatic impact of the korean peninsula of the resumption of the six- party talks. we ask that the return to this dialogue. we would like to stress the creating the nuclear misfile potential, but the country ratchets up tension in northeast asia, and impair security. as an alternative for this negative scenario, it is important to continue jointly with partners through the six- party format and other interested parties on the creation of a mechanism for peace and security in northeast asia by political and diplomatic means. thank you, sir. >> thank you.

people have shed blood for this to be stipulated into law. and nobody can change them. the congress cannot undermine rights to democracy. these are laws of which cannot be repealed. nobody can declare that a confrontation or a survey of the citizens is illegal. it does not reduce our rights for our constitutions. this is a violation of the law. it is an act undertaken in the context of a coup d'etat. this was what the judge ruled. he was violently expelled from the contract. my country has been in a state of paralysis for nearly three days now. buses carrying passengers have been hifired. 160 people have been injured. arrests were made on the streets. it ministers have been detained. 140 people have been beaten. the people have taken to the streets. thercompanies have gone on strie all forms of workers, teachers and not going to the school. they want it restored what they had voted for. military officials wearing green uniforms have occupied all the surrounding environments, playing music loudly to avoid questions. a crime has been committed. this is a crime against hum

the only stipulation is that the ads would be in black and white. we can do better. we can absolutely do better than this. keeping children from using tobacco products must be the first accomplishment of federal regulation. senator hagan's and my amendment accomplishes that goal with a two prong attack. first our amendment encourages states to use more of their m.s.a. payments on cessation, putting billions of dollars into the effort. in the last 10 years states used just 2.3% of their tobacco generated money for tobacco prevention an cessation and in 2009 no state is funding tobacco prevention levels at c.d.c. levels 678 our amendment would require states to comply with the c.d.c. recommended spending levels on tobacco cessation levels. it would no longer be tolerable instead of spending 2.5% of the c.d.c., ohio would be required to spend what the c.d.c. says needed to be spent to successfully make sure that our nation's children were given the message that the use of tobacco products is not an sangu add vas thing. unfortunately, mr. president, the underlying bill,

host: has congress, as a result of the bail out and other legislation, have they stipulated certain parameters for executive pay for companies that are getting these amounts -- these funds? guest: yes. the aig bonus situation. they went further than the administration wanted. that is the problem but treasury head. trying to incorporate what congress wanted. -- that is the problem that treasury had. we are finding banks new way to pay, forcing changes in the way banks do it. host: is this a temporary position or just for the duration of the bail outs? guest: however long that will be. this is a complete revamp on how we oversee the financial markets. one of the key things we expect secretary geithner to testify about is the principle that firms should get away from compensation systems, it encouraged people to -- stop the incentives to write these -- to put together financial products that are just leveraging your risk. host: these rules could be codified for companies? guest: it is more principles that regulators can go to a company and say your compensation system, you are encouraging bad beh

so i'll stipulate to that. among the four conservatives, chief justice roberts 12, justice thomas 13, justice alito 13, justice scalia 14. on the liberal end, breyer 18, beginsberg 22 or 23 depending how you count ver vote in the strip search case where she dissented from the final being of qualify immunity, suiter 24, stevens, same caveat as justice stevens, same caveat as justice beginsberg, 26 or 27. to some those up, they have collectively dissented 52 times. on the liberal side, they have collectively dissented 90 or 92 times. justice kennedy has cast for dissenting votes in the entire term. kennedy's role as the so-called media and justice is quite extraordinary. i covered it for 30 years. i have never quite seen anything like this. is it a polarized court of the 72 decisions that have come down so far? 21 have been eight -- have been on a vote of 5-4. of those 24, 16 have been -- with justice kennedy casting the deciding vote. of those 16 in which justice kennedy cast the deciding vote, he went with the

the hope that at least extreme poverty can be eradicated by the end of a 2015 as stipulated in the u.s. and milling and development goals seems as unrealistic as ever, not due to lack of resources but to a lack of your concern for the world's poor. they're talking about approximately a billion people and basing starvation and severe malnutrition, even 30 or 40 million of them in the richest country of the world. that is a real crisis and it is getting much worse. in this morning's financial times britain business press reported the world food program just announced that they are cutting food aid and rations and also closing operations. the reason is that the donor countries have been cutting back funding because of the fiscal crunch and they are slashing contributions. a close connection between in the horrendous food crisis and poverty crisis and a significant but less significant fiscal crisis closing down operations in rwanda and uganda, ethiopia and many others. in 25 percent cut in the budget while food prices are rising and the financial crisis and economic crisis is bring unempl

host: as a result of bailout and other legislation, have congress stipulated parameters for executive pay? guest: yes, a few months ago congress, especially in response to the aig bonuses, went further than the obama administration wanted to. that is the problem that the treasury has had. trying to incorporate what congress wanted for the top 25 earners, the top executives -- there are limits. especially with bonuses. we see banks finding new ways to pay people. host: any indication this will be a temporary position? or full-time thing? or just for the duration of this bailouts? guest: no, from congress i think what you will see is a complete revamp of how we oversee the financial markets. one of the key things we expect secretary geithner to testify about is these principles that firms should get away from compensation systems that encourage risk. they encourage people to write $50 billion worth of credit defaults swaps. it stops them. it stops the incentives to write these. those that leverage risk up to a point, that, you know. it will be principles that regulators can go to compan

they are stipulation, summary, not classified or secret, etc. the criteria as to whether it is a state secret is whether or not significant harm is reasonably likely to occur, and i think that is one which is in line with some of what i would consider the best judging in the past. the government has the burden of proving the nature of the harm, the likelihood of occurrence, and this is very important, and i will say is one of the two issues that can be discussed today. the court should with the testimony from experts in the same manner it does along with any other expert testimony. that is important that the judge makes an independent judgment. he looks at the testimony of the government, evaluates its, the way that we have learned to a fight expert tested many, the qualifications of the expert, the experience of the expert, the cohesiveness of testimony, and those are exactly the grounds on which one does give weight to expert testimony, and that is what should be applied here. the last point i would raise, i raised before, but i want to unders

entity in general motors and chrysler which resort to bankruptcy for the best of intentions i will stipulate that for the moment, should bend over backwards on the side of giving the benefit of the doubt to dealers that have been loyal, effective and largely profitable partners to the manufacturers know what? >> i can't speak with the bankruptcy court should or shouldn't do -- >> i'm not asking what they should do, i'm asking what the company should or shouldn't do. >> the reason we approached winding down agreements is to handle this responsibly as we could. >> the bottom line is the law probably allows you to do what you're doing and i have no doubt that you've probably made the decision you think is consistent with exercise of your responsibilities. you have got tough jobs. but we have got a unique situation here where the brutal on fairness of the law is imposing enormous and frankly unspeakable hardship on some pretty good people, and you will acknowledge i am sure your fallible and you made your best judgment that doesn't guarantee that your right and the request that i have loved you

administration is going to also place on the agenda of a charter for sustainable economics or we stipulate clearly what our principles are mainly not go for easy money or for the shore to gain, but to inject more of a sense of sustainability and the way that we do this. turn it into a part of our economic activity and again the way we do our business. this year we will be faced and this brings me to the third priority with the issue whether the world as able to agree on a post kyoto regime on climate change and tomorrow there will be an interesting vote in the house of representatives and i think that you have, indeed, a far-reaching bill to discuss and vote on, who would have thought this would be possible to or three years ago so there raise the possibility for change. senator lieberman quite happily showed me 98 may have votes on kyoto and the question what about the two others along quite disappointing for a young minister, and the environment and the time and did a lot to promote the kyoto protocol and there has never been in that close as we are now. we may well make further progress

according to "the washington post," quote, more trouble emerged when washington stipulated that the detainees would be barred from traveling to the united states. last week, the canadian government refused to accept the same detainees, citing serious security concerns. so as i close where i began, congressional oversight is imperative. no moreso than in matters with profound national security implications. yet this congress and the american people remain in the dark about the administration's plans on this pressing issue. this is no time for vague assurances, this is no time to play fast and loose with critical information. this is no time for political games. the american deserve more. with that, madam speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back his time. under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009, the gentlewoman from ohio, ms. fudge is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. ms. fudge: thank you very much, madam speaker. madam speaker, i ask for unanimous consent that all members be given five days

and we have passed detainee treatment act of 2005 which dramatically stipulates the rules and regulations for the treatment of detainees. so the only thing that's gained, in my view, and i believe -- i think if senator bond were able to be here, he's the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee, he would agree. the only thing that will be gained is more hatred, more jeopardy for our men and women in the field, more difficulties in iraq, more difficulties in afghanistan, and more difficulties in pakistan. i think it is possible for the intelligence committee to be able to review these. they should, in my view, be classified, and it's one thing if photos had never been released, but they have. we know what the problems were. we took action to solve the problems. and to further buttress those who wish to do those nation -- do this nation great harm i think makes no sense at all. >> chairman obey, i don't know if there are other senators who want to address the issue, but if i could go ahead and offer the motion and put it in the queue for whenever you think it's appropriate. >> i d

>> no sir, we follow the state laws and regulations and we would not stipulate to that. that's not consistent with each state. >> how about you, mr. sassi, can you commit that you will not rescind thomas there is intentional fraudulent misrepresentation? >> i cannot, the law of the land and the majority of states. semidey think it is fair to recent somebody for an innocent mistake? >> i think that playing the knowing standard is much more objective and -- >> on the first panel no one had the knowledge and they were all rescinded -- >> i'm sorry? >> on the first panel no one had a misrepresentation but they had their policies rescinded from ms. beaton all the way down to the witnesses not material misrepresentations. >> we are to determine the applicant didn't know about a specific condition we would not rescind. >> okay. .. they were being treated for acne? does not bother you? >> yes sir, it does and we regret the necessity that that has to occur even a single time and we have made suggestions that would reform the system such so that would no longer be needed. >> well,

the amendment stipulates the report should pay specific attention to the affects on small businesses and the measure's effectiveness in strengthening border security. increasing the security of our borders must be a top priority for congress. we must also ensure that implementation of the western hemisphere travel initiative is carried out in a manner that increases our national security but does not unnecessarily hinder trade and strain our small businesses. our nation's fight through our 'session is particularly important that we assess the effect measured by this economy have on our economy. i greatly appreciate the support of my friend and colleague from new mexico, congressman teague, for his office's assistance on this important amendment and help on issues of importance to both our northern and southern border regions and i urge my colleagues to support my amendment. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: for what purpose does the gentlelady from florida rise? ms. ros-lehtinen: thank you, madam chair. i ask unanimous consent to claim time in opposition, even though i do

degree of optimism that flowed on both sides of the aisle, democrats and republicans, although i will stipulate that there had to have been more euphoria on the democratic side of the aisle than the republican side of the aisle. just the same a level of euphoria on each side, a sense of optimism, a sense of we have reached some historical milestones. madam speaker when, we reached that moment, that is no time to rest on our laurels. that's no time to come to a conclusion that the people who have been honored so in such an historically unprecedented fashion should be exempt from criticism or exempt from dissent. nor should they be handed all the power of the government of the united states whether they are the president or the speaker of the house. but it seems as though that's the attitude of significant numbers of members here in the house of representatives. so if i take you back to the 12 years the republicans were in the majority here in the house from 1994 until 2006, those were elections sworn in in 1995 until january of 2007, where actually the times that are spanned, we offered -- we of

. >> and i stipulate to that. should it be. >> it is a factor that should be considered. >> i'm hearing at least from mr. hamm it is your company's policy if they are rescinded by another company it is a no-go coming to your company, is that correct, right i heard you correctly. mr. collins do you think it should be, once you find out whether it is or not, do you think it ought to be. >> well, sir, i think we should investigate the circumstances. >> i do, too, if somebody did lie on a prior form. that is one thing. if they are truthful on your form, though, should that -- because they made a mistake in the past, should they never be forgiven? that means they never have a shot at health insurance again? >> well -- >> let's take ms. horton's case. you know, i... you heard her situation. you heard her fear. she'll never get offered coverage again. is that right? >> i agree, it should be something that should be investigated. and considered. >> most of your company policies approve a decision to rescind if an applican

we will stipulate to that, but i'm going to call them conservative and liberals. among the four conservatives, chief justice roberts 12, justice thomas, 13, justice alito 13, justice scalia, 14. on the lib al end of the court, justice briar, 18, justice ginsburg, 22 or 23, depending on how you count her soet in the strip search case where she voted to find it a constitutional violation but dissented from the qualifying immunity, justice souter, 24. just see develops, 26 or 27. they have chectsively dissented 52 times and on the liberal side of the court they have dissented 92 times. justice kennedy has cast four dissenting votes in the entire term. so kennedy's role as the so-called median justice is really extraordinary and i covered the court, as dick indicated for many years, for 30 years, and i have never quite seen anything like this. it is a polarized court. of the 72 decisions that have come down so far, 21 have been by a vote of 5-4. of those 21, 16 have been by the usual four versus the usual four, as i outlined earlier with justice kennedy casting the de

caller: a stipulation in this bill, that the automobile has been made in america by americans and not foreign imports, even though it may be a toyota, as long as it is built in america? host: was there is the election? guest: there was an attempt but there was present -- plenty of wto issues. the u.s. -- is difficult to answer that kind of language and then lit -- legislation. host: manassas, virginia. the democrats' line. caller: can you hear me? excellent. the last caller actually asked what i wanted to ask about the car having to be made in america. i drive a kia, i love,kia. it has lasted me so long, through my abuse. i was thinking it would be great if u.s. car manufacturers could kind of pair up with some of their -- i guess, competitors, because we would learn a lot. also i understand that this program, i guess some environmental and economic benefit. would it take care of the huge trucks that you see billowing smoke, these large multi-wheeled trucks that carry materials across the country and what not, would this program do something about all the smoke that they are putting o

there was a stipulation, mrs. reagan wanted it out quickly. although i had been working on this roosevelt, i had to make a decision do i continue working on my roosevelt book or is this such an important thing to do. and my wife and i had endured katrina so we ended up saying let's bring our kids and let's go out to the reagan library, nearby, we moved to thousand occasion california. >> you were living in new orleans. >> yeah. we came back to new orleans. i was professor attu lane and even named my american studies center attu lane, the theodore roosevelt center and i was teaching classes attu lane on theodore roosevelt and conservation. at rice university now i teach a class on theodore roosevelt and conservation meaning when you say when you start writing a book, i have been informing myself on the research part of this story for a long, long time. it always was in my mind the main thing i wanted to do as a historian with my life is to write the history, of first off, t.r., but f.d.r. and the c.c.c., carson and the u.s. fish and wildlife, t

and i will stipulate that. they are bad guys. i stopped going to beach parties with hugo months ago. i did not played doubles in tennis with ahmadinejad for a while and i am no longer sharing my-- with vladimir putin. i am sick and tired of these guys and i don't like them either but did they not understand the bhagwati theory? this is named after bhagwati at columbia. you never use trade as a political weapon. dew just -- if embargoes worked, north korea years ago would become a free market capitalist nation. it doesn't work. i am if embargoes wert cuba would have been free market, pro-growth as well. it would seem the truth, beauty and light of the american way. zimbabwe did not be there. and farkas don't work but when embargoes do to is the cause your country as much damage as the country yum vargo. what these people are proposing with trying to punish these countries, what they are proposing is that we don't want to rely on these bad people because they might cut us off, so what do we do in exchange for the threat that they m

chairman, i'm going to stipulate to all of the difficulties of the food and drug administration is encountering that have already been well document it, and i would ask unanimous consent to preserve my entire statement into the record let me just concentrate on the aspect that we are now finally after i don't know how many hearings on this, getting down to someone of the business of acting for the fda, and talking about legislation that would give the food and drug administration some tools. but we are also giving them a timeframe which may prove to be a very difficult time frame for them to mentation, and we are also putting some additional burden on businesses at a time that our economy is in some difficulty. the legislation proposed would mandate the largest change in food safety and at least two decades and it will give the entire food industry a compressed time to do so. in a few short months they will have to turn the current system of paper-based records into an electronic form, businesses will have to find the money to register as a food facility and additional user fees if we deem inap
