they describe it as going from the northern end of the top of toledo to the bottom of the point of lake michigan stopping when it reaches the indianan boundary. that is why ohio has a slightly angled line. congress didn't have -- be recognized ohio made a little shift. they didn't see it as that big a deal until the 1830's when this man began to leave to became the governor of michigan. stevens mason was 19-years-old when president jackson appointed him to be the secretary of the territory of michigan and in effect that made him the governor because the governor at that point had basically gone fishing. the people in michigan were outraged, and they sent letters to the president saying please, get rid of this cade and give us a man as the governor. so, mason had a class, and it was to show he was a man and he had this moxie to lead the state. when he became first in effect governor and the territorial governor, we are now talking the early 1830's there were a lot more in the callis because of the erie canal, and one in particular connected to the river where that circle is on the map to

when you assemble in toledo, you assemble the jeep. chrysler assembles the jeep in toledo. three years ago, only 50% of the components for the jeep were american made. today, over 70% of the components for the jeep are american made. so we know that manufacturing creates all kind of jobs, making 20% more on average than service jobs. since the beginning of the recession, though, we still see profits at large financial institutions and other service firms increase, but our nation's unemployment rate is still hovering around 9%. so when profits go up for these financial services firms -- and i appreciate j.p. morgan chase in columbus, ohio. i met with their -- their top person in ohio just this week, just moving from cleveland to columbus. i know the important work they do in my state. i know they provide thousands and thousands and thousands of jobs. that's all a good thing. but i also know an economy which is not paying attention to manufacturing, you don't get the multiplier effects, you don't get the higher wages, you don't get the employment growth that you might get oth

i don't know a business person from toledo to dayton to youngstown to akron, ohio, that think that ithrough this again in six months. it just freezes any kind of activity or investment or job creation when you do this. it injects more uncertainty into an already uncertain economy in going through this again in six months would be just such an irresponsible thing to do. i don't think -- i think senators understand that. i'm not sure why john boehner's troops in the house think that it makes sense to do this again in six months. >> in terms of the senate action, it's now friday night, what happens tomorrow, sunday, monday, how quickly does this go through the process in order to avert an economic disaster on tuesday? >> we're working late into the night tonight. late into the night tomorrow night. we'll be hear sunday and i think the timetable is such with the way senate rules work that unless we get unanimous support or what's called unanimous consent, wolf, to send it to the house monday morning. we would like to do it earlier. i think the house then will get a lot of pressure from ma

it toledo the offer by mr. yates for the prime minister to be briefed.he cabinet secretary has said it's right that offer was not taken up. but the question is why? because it would be seen -- because -- because the prime minister was compromised by his relationship with mr. colson. and, therefore, could not be told anything at all about an investigation concerning a member of his own staff. he w he was hamstrung. the prime minister shouldn't have had to rely on briefings from his chief of staff. here was a major investigation. published by a leading global newspaper about the prime minister's director of communication. mr. speaker, the met fired mr. wallace, even though he wasn't mentioned in the article because of the associations he had with mr. colson and the publication of the article. what did the prime minister do? he did nothing. mr. speaker, mr. speaker, given the "new york times" evidence, the public will rightly have expected very loud alarm bells to ring in the prime minister's mind, yet apparently he did nothing. then in october the prime mi

let's go to the toledo, ohio. rick, a republican. caller: i don't think the constitution matters at all anymore. people in the private sector trample on a day in and day out, shipping and jobs abroad. and you have republican and democratic politicians that ignore it. on the congress is supposed to be able to declare war. a president can not commit troops, not according to the constitution. lyndon johnson, kennedy's sending troops to vietnam under the advice of military advisers. presidents ever since kennedy have been acting like hitler, they can commit troops wherever they want to end to hell with everybody. host: this is the issue of the declaration of war powers in this article. it's s "the congress shall have the power to declare war ." richard stengel says that may 20 mark the 60th day since president obama lost military action in libya. the speaker of the house says the president is in violation of the war powers resolution, passed in 1973, that requires the president to withdraw u.s. forces from armed hostilities if congress h

toledo, ohio, 102. 100 degrees yesterday's high in detroit and, again, these don't include humidity inding the humidity you get that heat index, what we're seeing. at least 94, whatfeels like, 7:00 a.m. in new york city. 95, feels like in philadelphia. these numbers are going much, much higher. updates and the same deal tomorrow. the heat eventually breaks on sunday. guys? >> hang in there and try to do all you can to stay cool. thanks, rob. >>> could be in the middle of the hottest span since 1950. a live look across the street. our street. >> central park. right across the road and that's how soupty is out there. >> a high of 101 with the heat index it will feel more like 115 degrees. our susan candiotti, a real trooper, outside in the park right now. and some concerns with some of the local power companies about the potential of having some sort of disruption in service. hopefully that won't be the case, but there are concerns today. >> reporter: many of them. that's why in the city of new york there are at least 200 c l cooling centers the office of emergency management opened up s

seeing a better auto industry, an auto industry coming back, especially in places like defiance and toledo and northwood and cleveland and lordstown, ohio. bit the challenges remain severe. like many in this chamber, i believe manufacturing is key not only to our economic recovery but to the strength and vitality of our nation. to many, manufacturing is also a ticket to the american middle class. in the last -- that last 12 years -- in the last 12 years, we've witnessed the closure of more than 54,000 factories in the united states. 54,000. last year, we lost 8,000. that's 5,400 tac factories per , 15 per day in the last 12 years. the manufacturing sector since the beginning of the bush administration, since 2001, has lost 5 million jobs. only 11.5 million people are employed in manufacturing jobs now. last time it was that low was 1941, before the country scaled up for -- for production for world war ii. now when members of this body talk about the need to support manufacturing, others will say, well, that's picking winners and losers and government has no role in helping manufacturing. w

youngstown steelworker, what about a columbus store clerk, what about a cincinnati nurse, what about a toledo sheet metal worker? what about an akron -- an akron worker in an auto plant, in a rubber plant? do they get that option? of course not. they have to wait until 65 or 62 and a discounted amount to receive retirement benefits. no longer, mr. president, should any congressman, no longer should any congresswoman, no longer should any senator be treated differently from other americans. that's what the congressional retirement act of 2011 would ensure. this bill would amend the federal employees retirement system and the civil service retirement system to directly tie current and future members of congress access to their federal benefits, their federal retirement benefits, tie it to the social security retirement age. it's that simple and it's bipartisan. senator mccaskill of missouri, a democrat, senator johnson of south dakota, a democrat, are cosponsors. the house companion introduced by representative bobby shilling of illinois, a republican, has seven republican cosponsors. the idea

toledo, ohio, democratic line, bill. >> caller: yes, i'd just like to say, i believe if we would start supporting our own country and forget about this foreign stuff, we'd be all right. >> economically? >> caller: absolutely. >> what makes you say that? >> caller: all we've ever got from other country system threatening us, going to destroy our economy and they are doing it. so we got to wake up and this is a problem. all the foreign cars and foreign products and everything coming in and they own our banks, it's ridiculous. >> political has a write-up and analyzing speaker boehner's role in the process. this is what they add: mr. boehner will likely be damaged in the eyes of the public. aides say it means little to the speaker. many conservatives see him as the problem in washington, he is close to lobbyist and doesn't apologize for it. he is nothing more than a bill of goods to avoid a government shutdown. mr. boehner is a conservative who can't say yes and publicly shutters at tax increases and controlled by conservative right party. in the capitol, that is what boehner needs. 240-pe

generations now and programs that millions of ohioans depend on, for middletown to ashtaboula to toledo and gallipolis. that's because i wanted a more balanced approach. i know the presiding officer did too. but as days and weeks and weeks and months go by, we're now only days away from default. we're simply running out of time. that's what the senate bill is about, protecting us from default. the spirit of continued compromise again, the majority leader has come forth with a plan to reduce the deficit by $2.2 trillion. it's truly a compromise because it meets the republicans' main criteria, it contains spending cuts to roughly match the debt ceiling increase through 2012. the spending cuts in the reid plans are ones that republicans have previously agreed to. it contains no revenue increases. all three of those have been what republicans asked for but now it's not good enough. what do they want to do when we've basically met their demands? beyond all that this compromise that we have offered mostly what they have asked for contains an important priority of mine. not one of the republic

youngstown, ohio, we would be linked up to a pittsburgh to cleveland corridor that would then go over to toledo and detroit, that would make its way over to chicago. this is essentially connecting the united states of america. but you take an economic region like ours with two major powerhouses in education and in health care, that would be connected by high-speed rail, and in ohio we gave away the high speed rail money, too. our governor gave it away. there were hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment that was going to follow the public investment. that needs to be made. but if we are going to connect, if we are going to try to resuss tate some -- resuscitate some of these older areas in our country, high-speed rail can do it. these are investments that can be made. we can connect the cleveland clinic with the university of pittsburgh medical center. we can connect case western reserve with carnegie mellon and they can partner and research. get on the train and help lead some economic development and commercialization of products. you could take a region of our country and connec

now, there's another company in ohio that's over in toledo, it's called -- they have a product called anderson's golf pro and they have indicated that they're not allowed to call it grolve pro anymore because you don't have to use the seed and the weed and seed on the golf course, you could use it on your front lawn. so they have to call it anderson's pro. they can't call it pro anymore because that's misleading. so they can call it handerson's and hope you can figure out what to do with it. i said, you know, you have really barely scratched the surface on this thing because the product that scott's manufactures that i like so much is miracle grow. now, you can imagine, mr. speaker, how is the e.p.a. going to be able to certify when i put that miracle grow on my tomato plant that a miracle has occurred? you're going to put a tremendous burden on the vatican, all these little old ladies are going to be at the airport flying over to rome to talk to the college of cardinals and say, did a miracle occur? that's why some of these writers are in here. you have to be able to talk to people.

contentious -- what does matter is the message it sends to main street, connecticut, main street, toledo. when businesses are thinking about expansion, they're thinking about taking a loan out, they think about borrowing money, they're not going to do it when we're inned midst of a financial crisis like we're in now. and no one -- if we were going to do this again in six months, you can bet we'd have the same diendz of divisions, the same kind of arguments and businesses as the assistant majority leader told a story today about a chicago business person who is terrified of this kind of -- at what would happen if we didn't raise the debt ceiling, if we went into default and what might happen six months from now if we went through this again. so the responsible position is this body bipartisanly works on the mcconnell-reid plan, we pass this. it goes through the house of representatives. we focus on job creation, we focus on deficit reduction. but we move forward together in a way that we have not for too long. mr. durbin: would the senator yield for a question? mr. brown: of course. mr. d
