i yield back the balance of my time. reserve the balance of my time, i'm sorry. reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: does the gentleman from washington -- the gentleman from washington controls the time. the gentleman from north carolina yields his time back. the gentleman from kentucky. mr. rogers: i yield two minutes to the chairman of the homeland security subcommittee on appropriations, the gentleman from alabama, mr. ard holt. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from alabama is recognized for two minutes. mr. aderholt: i thank the distinguished chair for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of this must-pass resolution. this c.r. not only keeps the government operating but it provides a substantial infusion of desperately needed funding totaling $3.65 billion for disaster relief and emergency flood control efforts. that's funding to sustain disaster relief efforts in hard-hit states all across this nation, including the devastation that hit my home state of alabama back in april of this year. that's funding to address the rec

it depends upon the time frame and how long it will take. we are issuing paper, issuing notices and sending them to directors hearing. we're building the people and referring them to the city commission. generally if there is lack of heat, there's usually other maintenance issues. then we are before you asking those cases be referred to the city attorney. it is generally the elevator and other issues going on with the building as well. we will analyze that to see what has been outstanding for how long and what the nature of it is. you have heard as make those recommendations. we're happy to go back and look at that. if you look like us to do this particular sampling and see if we do the same building and if it was the same problem. it is not the time clock, i would give you the analogy of an elder -- elevator. if the parks and another part breaks, then we have to go through that particular process, as long as as they are taking a reasonable amount of time to deal with that. if not, that is definitely on us. the dow the issue that commissioner

her lawyers claim she was inside at the time of the rigid insane at the time of the murder. >>> paramedics are expected to testify today at the trial of the -- of michael jackson's doctor. they are expected to say that the doctor never mentioned giving dr. that powerful drug. this comes one day after the bodyguard took the stand. he testified that murray asked him to call 911 and gave a mother instructions. >> he reached over with a handful of bottles and he reached out to me and said put these in a bag. >> he also testified that murray pointed to an iv stand. he noticed the white milky substance inside the bag. >>> police in arlington are trying to find a man who sexually atoll -- assault of a jogger yesterday morning. >> this happened 24 hours ago along army navy drive. we have more for who police are on the lookout for. >>> residents say this is an unusual crime. police say woman was sexually assaulted and beaten by an unknown attacker. >> i walk this streak probably every single day. >> at 6:30, you can find many people out walking and jogging in the morning. >> we walk frequently and

at the time, we spoke of the department's initial response. there are approximately 289 heat complaints in 2010. since that time, the commission asked us to look more into detail but i came to code enforcement response issues. that universe has dropped down. with that, i would like to discuss the rose -- revised figure that was submitted to you for the purpose of this presentation and subsequently to its of it be, giving you recommendations on the revised exhibit day. with that, i will go ahead and start, from left to right. so, as i indicated, we have been talking about for 2010 was 285 complaints in the department. obviously, not all of those were determined to be verified complaints. typically, once they received complaints from the department of building inspection, there are usually other items as well, which take up the attention of the inspector. one of the things that we were asked to do was to look at and identify for you the number of repeated properties that have a heat complaint within the timeframe. within the 285 alleging heat com

cost the government for a long time. t -- they had controlled the government for a long time. >> talk to me about north and south america -- parts of the country come excuse me. >> the civil war crushed economy in the south so one of the goals of reconstruction was to get the south up and running again but this is on the southern terms. james g. blaine was a powerhouse by 1884. >> maine had been originally part of massachusetts since the colonial times and became a state in 1820. we went into the union as a 23rd state. we were part of the missouri compromise. by the post civil war, maine had initially suffered a bit of a setback during the civil war which sent about 70,000 men to the war. 10,000 had been lost. our population in the decade of the 1860's did not grow. by 1884, maine was getting back on its feet. maine has had a wonderful resource based industries and so we had ice, granite, lumber, we also had textiles, shoes. blaine was a part and a beneficiary of this very robust economy at the time. >> he contended again

i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: all time has expired. pursuant to the rule, the amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in the bill shall be considered as an original bill for purposes of amendment under the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. for what purpose does the gentleman from kentucky rise? mr. whitfield: i move that the committee do now rise. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on the motion that the committee do now rise. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it and the committee rises. the speaker pro tempore: mr. chairman. the chair: mr. speaker, the committee of the whole house on the state of the union having had under consideration h.r. 2401 directs me to report it has come to no resolution thereon. the speaker pro tempore: the chair of the committee of the whole house on the state of the union reports that the committee has had under consideration h.r to revise and extend their remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. dreier: we are

you have to hand it to the times. ave a public editor and have someone with the due diligence on the publication and they retracted it three times, three pieces so far. maybe more to come. >> are they retracting the facts they got wrong or the premise of the story, which is that what is damaging to congressman. >> let's talk about the premise and the context. that is, issa is investigating the obama administration. he has the job that henry waxman, the congressman from california once had. left is aware if issa pursues a gangster government agenda against obama, obama has trouble. they are trying to take him out. the "new york times" is happy to be part of that. >> the "new york times" is consciously protecting obama doing that? >> i do. >> you think it's a conscious effort. >> conscious effort. >> we are going to do a smear job on issa to protect the president of the united states? >> they represent a real threat. there is no evident that they are purposely smearing someone. >> i didn't say there is evidence. i say i

the new women and this was a term that was used at the time. the term appears here in novelists; there are "new women" novels that are appearing at this time. this is the first time when marriage as an institution is being challenged by the women, and they write novels about this and so on, and some of them act it out in their lives with disastrous consequences. it's interesting that even in the novels they always have disastrous consequences. the other interesting thing about these new women is that, while they are rebelling against marriage, they are not rebelling against monogamy. what they want is a monogamous relationship based upon free love but without the shackles, as they would say, of marriage. c-span: you said you spent a year in london in those early years. where did you really capture the victorian age in your own experience? how did you do it? >> guest: i think i did it through books almost more than through -- the london experience was enormously helpful, obviously, but long before that i had simply been immersed in this literatur

the perpetrator? and michael dukakis, take it one step at a time, that was the question that bernie shaw decided to ask. and then at that time there was a moderator and three panelists. they had a meeting the three panelists and bernie the day of the debate and went over the questions to see how they were going to do things and what ever and it's a long and all still story, but the three of the panelists, margaret warner, then with i think it was with "newsweek," of course now with the pds newshour, andrea mitchell of nbc news, and ann compton with abc news, the three panelists, the women said wait a minute, rethink that question and at least not use her name that the thought and bernie was adamant and she was going to ask the question and he asked the question, and i just in doing some old fashioned reporting live at the meeting and how little can about discovered that there is some hard feelings that exist to this day about the fact that the three panelists tried to talk about asking the questions and they're some back talk about whether somebody knew the question ahead of time and the word leaked ou

the players were like kids in a candy store and were trying to royds time off the time not the time. even though some of russia's challenges seem more interested in getting better acquainted with the local animal population. england recently got roundly criticized for doing similar been charged to its ease with the russian coach kingsley jones couldn't have been more different in his approach saying it was a wonderful distraction for the players plus it is important you know we've worked hard for the last. hundred twenty days and they need to refresh recharge you know. she's a lot of technical things you can work on the thing that's going to make a sport of it for scarce trailers everybody refresh mentally physically and you know the mental thing and mental rest and change from coaching is and getting cokes and training every day is important of course this is a fantastic break from the russian players to make great use of their free time while many of whom productivity's like this for the first time in their lives but there was no way but artie's correspondent was going to get away s

so i wasn't there all the time. she was singing all the time. g out of the ordinary to me. until we saw her at that show. >> the irony is she left the school because she wasn't in their eyes performing academically well enough, right? >> sylvia would say she wasn't expelled but she was expelled because -- >> for underperforming. >> underperforming. >> what was the moment for you that you realized this little girl of yours was going to be an international star? >> at sylvia young, she met a guy called tyler james, great friend, in the house with her that night. he introduced her to the management team called 19. they asked me to come down, she was under 18. i had to sign the forms for her. i went down, they said your daughter is absolutely fantastic. they sent some tracks. i never heard her sing on a cd before. they sent us some of the tracks that she'd done. they were brilliant. at that point, i remember saying to my wife, this is incredible. but really, it's a question of when did this happen? >> you hasn't seen it coming? >> not really, no. not

one is to look at the context of that period of time. we're getting ready to put legislation in the books. it's going to limit immigration. you have a president who literally hates not only blacks, but dislikes, as he says in one of his speeches, all hyphenated americans. he's talking about italian-americans. german-americans. at the same time, he, with hoover, hoover was brought out in the palmer raids in november, but palmer went before congress in june of 1919 and asked for powers to begin to throw out all these radicals. >> that's an important point regarding hoover an palmer. a. mitchell palmer was the attorney general at the time, and one important point is he assigns hoover this special mission, and they draft a report released to congress in the fall of that year, and it has this huge long rapt about the anarchists and anna goldman and have to get rid of these people, deported, look at the crazy stuff they're writing. that's basically the majority of the document. there's this huge part at the end tacked on and talking about black

times. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from kentucky. mr. davis: mr. speaker, i continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from texas. mr. doggett: mr. speaker, i'm prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. doggett: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, the house should approve this important bipartisan legislation today. to fail to approve this modest extension would cause more people to suffer with the expiration of these programs next week. but, mr. speaker, it may not be envogue to discuss the problems of poor people in america today, but we need to hear more about it in this house. we need to hear more about it in washington, d.c. certainly we want to support and encourage the middle class in america. very, very important. but we need to create more opportunity to broaden that middle class. for the many people who struggle and hope that lives will be better for their children and that they will face

we all know we need more cabs on the street at peak time. no matter how people word it, we need more cabs and i like the idea of the single user permit it is based on seniority. i know people who have been driving 30 or 40 years. there is no excuse they did not put their name down because i have known them 23 years and told them to put their name down and they said it is too late. in spite of that they should not be punished. there are still out there driving. i know several that have been driving 20 or 30 years that are able and who would be so happy to have this opportunity. the one place where i might not -- i do not totally understand is, i would think it would be better if they could buy it for a reasonable amount rather than leasing it through the city. i do not have a strong opinion on how that should be done. i do have a strong opinion to let 10 -- go to people who have driven 30 years would be wonderful. [bell] >> thank you. our next speakers. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. a special good afternoon to director ramos. i was not

john was monumental in helping us with the language at the time. from the protocol established in the mou that we respond to complete within so many days, we do an inspection if it is a life safety hazard -- all those types of things seem to be working. as far as complaints made directly to the housing authority through a their systemor 311, i cannot speak to that because that is outside of the department of building inspection. so unless there are any particular questions, i am able to answer those, but it seemed as though the commission also wanted to hear from the housing authority on those other issues. commissioner walker: thank you. >> good morning. management analyst for the san francisco housing authority. we have no formal report at this time on the status of the mou. there were some heeding complaints at a prior commission meeting that took place a few months ago. to my knowledge, those have been resolved. i will be happy to entertain any questions you have and report back any comments to the housing authority. commissioner walker: this is

so i was in the trenches for the rest of the time there. in the book, you tell a fascinating story about your relationship with artists, both-- some of whom have been supportive, some of whom have not been. and you express your disappointment as you came in that-- people like fred thompson, who had a career as an actor, sonny bono, who was at one point a symbol of the counterculture long ago-- neither one expressed much support for n.e.a. did that surprise you? it did, because i think artists, even if they're very successful in the commercial sector, should understand that we all need to be nurtured. and most artists begin in the nonprofit sector or in arts education in their school systems or after-school programs. and i thought surely sonny bono would understand that, but he didn't. and he said a pretty, um, obtuse remark, actually, about the n.e.a. he said, "i never knew anybody who received an n.e.a. grant," ergo it wasn't important. that was just silly. he didn't get around much. well, in other cases, you had people who were champions t

the beginning. i didn't have to in retrospect. i wasted timeshat i explained in the beginning of the debate that this really was important enough to talk about in the first debate, but anyhow, it went off exactly on time, and it was hairy, no question about it. i compare the debates themselves in the book and the whole experience from my point of view like walking down the blade of a very sharp knife and anything can go wrong, and you can get cut. >> host: right. >> guest: i think everybody involved in these feels the same way. >> host: you know, you wrote about debates in which things went horribly wrong, you know, 27-minute no sound; right? >> guest: right. >> host: with jimmy carter? >> guest: carter and ford. >> host: they stood on the stage for 27 minutes without saying anything to each other, which is remarkable when you think about it. >> guest: it is. >> host: any times in your debates where you panicked inside saying, oh, my god, this is not going to come off? >> guest: you mean the content itself? >> host: or -- yeah, the content or th

changes, which happens all the time, that can also continue, regardless of what capt. is there. those were the big ones. some discussion about risk-reward in using promoters. there was the resolution to this issue but it is something that you should leave here thinking about. some people chimed in to say that there is not a dime that they would not bother turning using a promoter if they thought there was some risk involved in that. obviously, other people feel differently. that risk- reward ratio is something that you need to think seriously about if you are going to continue to use promoters at your venue. at this point, certainly take some questions. if you are done, it is 10:04. i appreciate you all coming. we have the bac cards. -- feedback cards. i would love to hear it in e-mail form or you can call me. please use the entertainment commission as a resource, but be nice. you saw all of us today. we are here to help you if we can. we do have to issue some permits that those of you -- that somebody do not like, but there is. thank you. >> you can see that it is amazing. you c

i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. leman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. andrews: mr. speaker, i yield myself 15 seconds. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. andrews: the gentleman from virginia just said that this bill restrains companies from growing jobs. here's what it restrains. it restrains from saying to a worker who dares to stand up and bargain for themselves and fight for themselves, you're fired. that's what it restrains and it should restrain that because that's our law. mr. speaker, at this time i'm pleased to yield to one of the most passionate voices for working americans in the modern history of this country, my friend from ohio, mr. kucinich, for 1 1/2 minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. kucinich: thank you. this was a new deal initiative which helped save american capitalism by creating a proxy to help protect the rights of employees and employers. this was before nafta and the w.t.o. which tore

by the time he died in 1992 and i wrote an obit for him for "the new york times" he was a great figure on the right and see it with reagan and thatcher. but, you know, i was going to say it almost seemed like an ideologue but in going over and learning about his early work is very different -- post to its different to understand the intensity with which to pursue their ideological positions if you understand the intensity with which these experienced in their lives and seen their worlds literally ripped apart. >> and also how while hayek was wrong about something namely the great depression would cure itself he was also really write about the other things for example he went to new york in 1923 to study economic forecasting which was the golden age people developed it and fell in love with it he thought he couldn't predict the economy. now when people say what's wrong with economists they didn't see this coming. well guess what, modern economics is not about predictions, it's about figuring out how you can have a successful economy were successful portfolio without the need to predict

we come up here all the time just to talk about what? you're going to take care of us. can you show us that. really give us some facts and showing that you're going to help people in the bayview community. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> you know, ladies and gentlemen, i'm really appalled, but these people that came here, this has been going on for years, y'all. ms. jackson is right. we have been coming up here for years, for decades. a lot of y'all -- and i have heard some supervisors, me and my colleagues see you come up there and you talk and we close our ears when you start talking. one thing is for sure. you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool them all the time. you have to realize, what they do in these foreign countries with the young people got the technology and not a dictatorship, what do you think when these young african americans finally get the word of what is really going down here at city hall, because it's silly down here at city hall. that's a good example here at silly hall what goes down. i have been the victim

we all books at the time we need to write that book. it's hard to be an author because you have an audience and they want you to write particular books. if you don't write the book they want you to write then it's something else. but all the books are different in that way. because samurai's garden gave me the japanese culture and to a large extent samurai's garden taught me how to write. how to write in a way that i don't think i knew as well when i wrote women of the silk. it's processes like that is how i judge each book not so much is, that my best book? is that the best story? but it has to do with, what did i learn from writing that book. i have a friend who is a writer for 3 years trying to finish a novel. sent me an e mail. think when i first started writing we didn't have e mail. it's scary because you think you are getting e mail from a friend saying, i'm done and 2 days later you get another one and it says i'm trashing it. i'm thinking how can you write a book for 2 years and trash it. >> i put it in a box and stied it with a

he was thomas jefferson's air, the foremost champion, the personal liberty of his time. when he was a boy daryl liked to say the hired man had dignity. he dined with a family of the employer and he shared their pew on sunday and he could court the bosses daughter. there were no banks, no big stores very little money and nobody had a monopoly of riches or poverty. the community was truly democratic. but the nation's founding principles were stretched beyond recognition and the roar of the industrial age. a shrewd and lucky few made great fortunes. carnegie and steel, morgan and finance, rockefeller in oil and they attributed their success to god, hard work and -- and they found in the writings of herbert spencer is the assurance that the poor deserve their lot. is natures way of furthering the race by weeding out the week. they order their managers to lower costs and when workers organized unions, private armies of local militias were summoned to break up the strikes and demonstrations often with violence and rifle fire. according to the courts the workers only right was t

frederick douglass traveled the country at a time it is at the time. with a free black man, but he traveled at great personal risk throughout the countryside and prove that he was the living, breathing example that intellect and leadership could come from a recently freed slaves. >> we are back with another guest of like to introduce. he is a history professor at the university of louisville. welcome to our discussion of henry clay. before we get into the area where you spent a lot of your scholarship, which is slavery in that time, talk to meet in a general sense about your impressions of henry clay. what are your views of this man? >> i take the view of him as a rock star. he is a lightning rod. he seems to be able to get people fired up, either for or against him. he has the ability to inspire, and even on the abolitionist issues, he takes more heat than senators who were actually more -- john c. calhoun, for instance. henry clay is more talk about, written about, focused upon that some of the more prominent political figures. >> we spent time talki

on the plane, it was a private citizen who jumped the guy. times square, it was a vendor saying, "something's wrong there," letting the law enforcement authorities know it. so, we were lucky, and because we have an alert citizenry. >> the fbi says it's taken down a home-grown radical. >> ...here in baltimore, a man apparently tried to blow up a military recruitment center in... >> narrator: and then there's this case that happened just recently in maryland. >> ...tried to detonate what he thought was a bomb... >> he proceeded to drive the suv as planned to the recruiting center, where he parked it in front of the building. >> narrator: an undercover fbi agent had given the suspect an inert bomb. >> he had a detonation device, which he was to key. however, when he keyed it, it didn't work. >> he was immediately placed under arrest at that time. >> narrator: and once again, the suspect, 21-year-old antonio martinez, had been discovered by an alert citizen reading facebook. the source called the fbi in baltimore. >> priest: i'm trying to think of any

but it's not all of the time. so basically my learning disability doesn't affect me in the working environment and it more affects me in the academic environment because normally they shouldn't just say, okay, well we can't hire you because you have a disability. they don't know what i need. they didn't ask me. >> a lot of it has to do with fear and they don't know what to expect. and that's the biggest problem, is the stigma associated with people with disabilities. especially the disabilities you can't see. >> right. >> those are the ones i think people are more fearful about because though don't understand them. if they see somebody in a wheelchair they get it. maybe i'll have to have adaptive software or something like that. but when it's an invisible disability, i think they are very fearful and i think you are probably right in not having to tell people upfront. you might want to wait a while. or if you end up needing an accommodation, that's when you bring it up because sometimes you don't need any. i experi

the last time we checked the drive time was 38 minutes. dow is down to 31 minutes. things are improving as most of the vehicles are cleared from the center divider. the chp is still one scene with one- two card's been towed away. there are no good all to their roots unless you are coming from 580 and that you may want to dig about using highway 84, off of 580 through livermore. if you are coming out of dublin, your best bet is to stay of the freeway. again, it is accosted six minutes over an all-out drive time. we're born to start with the bay bridge toll plaza, the west got a ride is still at 16-18 minutes. the back of between 80 and west grand theater across the upper deck. your ride on the san mateo bridge has been a problem free all morning on and continues in just like that with no delays but heavier traffic westbound. a quick look at the golden gate bridge shows a problem free ride. it started out with celeste greige but that has picked up a bit since the morning has warned of. traffic at least looks good for the south of 101 right. we will find out more about

this is the first time that we have requested the commission at the same time. he is a welcome addition to the team. it was suggested that i give you a short history of the relationship here as to why you have federal lobbyists. getting down to some more specific issues back in washington. in the mid-1980's, when i was still running for u.s. senate, puc was negotiating a new power contract. one of the district went to the local congressman and got a provision for an appropriations bill that would have adversely affected our ability to charge for power. when i left it the senate in 1990, the commission was in a crisis proceeding at the irrigation district. the motion was that it would be useful to have someone prevent that from occurring in the context of a license procedure. initially it was a protective measure. licensing procedures proceeded just fine. results quite well. in 1994, remember, newt gingrich and the contract with america. there was a proposal to raise the fee to 25 million. motivated mostly by antipathy toward san francisco more than anything else.

things are getting more and more exciting all the time. i really enjoyed listening to the senior vets talking about the dancing. it reminded me about a friend of mine that passed three years ago. francis lambert, he was in the air force. he used to tell me about when he was a much younger man, he used to do a lot of smooth dancing in san francisco. i had never heard that term before. we have three veterans in our prison system that are political prisonerers. the general strike sets them free. regarding the homeless people that are on the street, i invite you to open up the phone books and see how many so-called churches are in these phone books. why don't we just ask them to absorb 10 homeless persons per church. that would be a nice thing to do. it would take care of the problem immediately if not sooner. and there was a lot of talk about 9/11. and the media still to this moment has lied about virtually everything. i'm going to read this to you here. false flag operations behind every war, d.c.'s corporate store, 343 firefighters were murd

we are not prepared to unilaterally allow the wait time. if you choose to do so, the mta will not question that decision. commissioner fung: your last brief did not rehash 2008. you are in concurrence with the appellant that in 2008 he grove -- he drove the requisite number of shifts. >> it was said by the previous hearing officer that it satisfied requirements. commissioner fung: in 2010, the appellant's brief indicates he did not drive the requisite number of shifts, but you indicate he did. you stand by your numbers? >> in 2008? commissioner fung: 2010. >> i believe he had turned into us -- we have him at 890 hours. we stand by those numbers. commissioner fung: his brief indicates it was less than that. >> i do not recall the numbers mr. alexander dave. commissioner fung: but according to your records, you stand by those numbers. >> correct. >> thank you. is there public comment on this item? seeing none, the matter is submitted. vice president garcia: i personally find it reasonable to apply the current transportation code to this partic

so but by the time the f.b.i. did get serious about organized crime which was during the kennedy administration. it had reached a peak and was enormously powerful so that it couldn't be squashed control and it took. a long time years later for one could say that organized crime was even even more old espied. you write about j. edgar hoover influencing the course of world war two by ignoring a warning about pearl harbor. yes and i'm glad you hit on that because i think that was. a real manifestation of. who had by the time came so much pot and had to do to him so about his judgment about people and the extent of his power. a man called pushed a puppet of a brilliant. agent who worked for the british. concluded and reported to his british intelligence masters that. the japanese were likely to attack and that they were likely to attack. a major american harbor and he concluded that he brought that information to new york the british thought it was so important that they sent him in person across the atlantic to carry

he was born to perfect parents for the times. joseph and mary. their children had biblical names and you can trace the names of the children. ethan means strong in hebrew, and the first six children from out testament names. the last two after the family back slid away from puritanism to anglicanism, the girl's name is lydia. he was born in a solid home in lynchfield, and he might have stayed there and may have never gone to vermont except for something called the great awakening which i think was the seed time of the american revolution. it was the first time large numbers of people turned out for mass meetings to hear someone speak. until then, mostly they got enough speaking in three hour sermons and meeting houses. in the 1730s and 40s, missionary ies came from england, anglicans from the holy club originally from oxford university and every year they preached down the length of the british colonies from new ported rhode island to salve van that, and the crowds were enormous for the times. benjamin franklin verified how large the crowd were. h

the rest of the time, the train was home with cities and countryside flying by. [ music continues ] >lot of fun. i mean, i was 20 years old. i had a good time. >> narrator: it was a tour of many memorable moments -- some more than others. >> marcia van dyke was in the first fiddle section -- a good violin player, very pretty girl. and she had aspirations to be a movie star, and at practically every place we'd stop, there were newspaper people, not for monteux, not for the orchestra, but for marcia. on the tour, she had gotten engaged to our first horn player, bill sabatini, and that was in life magazine, and we were on tour and nothing. >> narrator: but for those eight weeks in 1947, it had become something -- it became america's orchestra. >> this tour was one of the great high points, i think, in the symphony's history.

time? >> sure. the last time we ballast the budget, we thought everybody would be able to continue to operate on a balanced budget. that it would stay in place and we would not dare put this back into a huge deficit again. unfortunately, that happened in know it is much worse than when i face that issue. it is a huge challenge,, nevertheless, this congress has a responsibility to work with the administration to get a solid track to ultimately reduce that. >> thank you, senator sessions. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. good morning, admiral. welcome to our witnesses this morning. admiral mullen, please convey my love to devore as well. i join my colleagues in thinking you and your family for your many years of outstanding service to our country. and to my classmates, secretary panetta, i want to say hello to you and to sylvia and wish you well. i want to thank all men and women in uniform as well as their families for all of their sacrifices. will face difficult decisions regarding our future in af
