second, why do they need syria to be away from iran? they have conflict with iran, well, what does that mean to put syria away from iran? some times they talk about the relation between syria and the iranian relationship and the peace, that's not true, that's not realistic because iran supported our efforts to achieve... to get back our land through the peace negotiations in 2008 when we had those negotiations in turkey . >> reporter: let me understand line that. you believe that iran, even though it says it does not rise israel's right to exist, when you through turkey were trying to negotiate with the israelis, the iranians were supportive of that? >> exactly. >> reporter: so you're saying actions speak louder than words? >> exactly. that's what i mean. and they said it in words. they said publicly that we support syria. so they said it twice during the negotiations. and forward. so you can not see with one eye. so that's what's happening. they see only what they want to, they hear what they want to hear and they ignore the other stan

the dictator of syria has threatened israel with, quote, violent resistance. hamas covenant calls for killing jews and destroying the nation of israel. hezbollah's leader has reportedly stated that if the jews all gather in israel it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide. madam speaker, we should take these threats from syria, iran, hezbollah and hamas as serious threats to world stability and specifically to the nation of israel. they have backed up these threats with their evil deeds. for the last decade, thousands of rockets and mortars have been fired by hezbollah from the north and hamas to the south. sponsored by iran and syria with reported aid from that nation of north korea. since israel's defens operations against hezbollah in 2006, hezbollah has rapidly rearmed, again, thanks to syria and iran and north korea, and reports indicate they now have over 40,000 rockets aimed at israel. recent resports -- reports indicate syria is providing hezbollah with long-range missiles that could strike most of israel and some of that weaponry was r

i think syria has the most flexible policy towards the iraqi refugees. but i don't think that syria and iraq athe highest government level are on a particularly productive path towards trusting each other or having a more cordial relationship any time soon. it seems to me to be pretty brutal. >> most of the refugees that are in jordan come from a higher socio-economic and the ones that were coming from the most marginal wiest will be settled or are in the process of being resettled meaning that most of the iraqi seen a jordan will stay. i d't think they will return. syria is a different situation terms of the open policy you have a large number of refugees settled in syria because of the tiny to the baptists most of them are not registered so they are off of th screen which makes it difficult to calculate how many there are. i would assume most of them won't return to get those that returned come to the question those who stayed have somekind of natural reconciliation with their neighbors and will come with the load still fresh so what kind of interactio

syria has not cooperated with the agency since june 2008 in this regard. i continue to request syria to engage with the agency on all outstanding issues. adherence to the iaea comprehensive safeguards has been increasing, but more should be done. at present, 20 mpt parties have still not brought comprehensive safeguard agreements and to force. i strongly encourage all remaining mpt party to conclude and implement comprehensive safeguard agreements. with regard to additional things, 32 states have brought additional things into force since 2005. it brings the total number and forced to 98. the additional information and broader aspects provided four improbable as, and are essential for the iaea to obtain as much information about existing and planned nuclear programs, and nuclear material holdings of states with comprehensive safeguard agreements. the additional protocol is of a vital importance for the agency to be able to provide credible assurances not only that declared nuclear material is not being diverted from peaceful purposes, but also that there a

that is why we're sending an ambassador back to syria. there should be no mistake either in damascus or anywhere else. the u.s. is not we engaging with syria as a reward or concession. engagement is a tool that could give us leverage end in sight and a greater ability to convey strong and unmistakably clear messages aimed at the syrian leadership. i have gone on long enough. i want to thank you for the opportunity to speak here today. i do look forward to your questions. [applause] how do we do this now? am i sitting here? >> thank you for that fantastic broad coverage of the waterfront. i will take the moderator sporadic and ask the first question. do you have questions? raise your hand and i will take you in the order i see you. we're on the record. he said to the camera. let me pick up where you left off. there is tremendous material you presented to her. i'm sure lots of questions on the pressing nature and changing nature of the threat. the u.s. government position on hezbollah has been in the news. given where you end, it is an apt

in a similar vein, playing nice has failed to peel syria away from iran, without any assurances, the white house lifted sanctions on damascus and reinstated an american diplomat in that country. syria returned the favor by transfering scud missiles to hezbollah, and if that wasn't enough, they disparaged the u.s. overture at a recent sol dare conference with ahmadinejad. while the administration takes extra precaution with our enemies, it has shown far less restraint with our democratic allies. free nations who need our support now more than ever. it has escalated a bogus fight with israeli in a very transparent manner to curry favor with some in the middle east. it has rebuked honduras for holding the rule of law and broken agreements with poland, the czech republic, south korea, and colombia. and during a highly publicized trip to asia at a time when we need india to counter the growing influence of communist china, the president passed india by on his way to china. most troubling is that this is happening as america's military defenses are being downgraded. nowhere is the erosion

talks, one of the agenda items must come back onto the plate -- a resolution of what happened with syria. it should be done in a way to send a signal that we will not tolerate the proliferation of fissile or technical information there. we have missed the boat a couple of times. once was in january 2003 as the north koreans were breaking out of the agreed framework. one of the things they did was to withdraw from the npt. i find this somewhat amusing, the manner in which they did it. and the 1993 time, they announced their withdrawal from the npt. they're supposed to give 90 days notification. they gave notification, 89 days and some hours before they suspended their withdrawal based upon progress being made. in january 2003 after a confrontation with the u.s. over concern about highly enriched uranium, the north koreans that we will withdraw from the npt. by the way, that becomes effective in about 10 hours. we're combining the notification we gave you nine years ago to" we're doing today. that sense to me -- sends to me -- the u.s. response was not to formally protest, and that was unf

the way it has to regard people from azerbaijan or india or new populations coming in from poland or syria, the latino migration has been so much more broad-based and so much more numerous and complicated because it puts america in the position of having to deal with the physical reality of a mixed-race people. so to try to tease out race and its operation from immigration is a foreign parent -- a fool's errand. when you stand in 2010 and look over your shoulder, because irish, hungarians, greeks, turks, croats today stand in our culture as white even though at the time of their rival, many did not, and manyywere even legally defined aa other than white because we have a system where new practice sort of accumulates like a mountain or a burma -- berm. we actually have a mountain of court cases that adjudicated whether people from the saudi arabia or the former ottoman empire or others were actually in fact white, and it was not social practice but court cases that dictated how we were supposed to proceed. why? because all of these arguments and legal proceedings were in reaction to an alre

condemned by the human rights council for their rampant human rights violations, nor is iran, nor is syria, but the council has devoted 80% of its resolutions and about half of its special sessions to bashing the democratic jewish state of israel. and it has passed numerous other anti-freedom measures. the administration's decision to join the council in the last year of the u.s. membership on that council have not changed these grim facts lamently. when the deck is stack against freedom and against democracy, the answer should be not to participate and instead vote no. the answer is for the u.s. and other responsible nations to walk out and demand better. today, however, in this legitimate and disting wished house, i will proud -- distinguished house, i will proudly vote yes on this resolution. i encourage all of my colleagues to do the same. i thank my good friend and colleague from new york, mr. crowley, for co-sponsoring this resolution with me. i thank our wonderful chairman, chairman berman, for agreeing to move us so profertly f floor consideration, and i -- profertly for floor cons

office has reviewed about 800 corporate filings that disclosed doing business on some level with iran, syria, or cuba. the disclosure requirements are based on materiality. that is something we can change. there is not a separate line item disclosure for any level of business with one of those countries. we look at materiality, both quantitatively and qualitatively -- the amount of business it has done one of those countries' relative to the size of that company. is it humanitarian, or could it have a military application? is it continuous or isolated? we do this materiality analysis, and if the staff determines that the contact with one of these countries is material, then disclosure is required. we are looking at whether this should beat line-item disclosure without regard to the materiality of the conduct between the public company and one of these four nations that are currently on the list. >> let me follow up on that because i am told that in november of 2007, the sec issued a constant release seeking comment on whether to develop a better mechanism to allow investors to have better di
