andrews, for two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. andrews: another series of misrepresentations. we heard the congressional budget office quolet cooked the books, closed quote. i frankly think that is a great disservice to the men and women on a nonpartisan basis who give us their honest judgment. the minority doesn't like their judgment. the bill reduces the deficit. they attack the men and women, nonpartisan men and women. cuts to medicare, no medicare beneficiary gets any cut. there is an increase in prescription drug coverage, increase in preventive care. having said that, there is fraud, waste and abuse in medicare. senator coburn and heritage foundation thinks that. the gentlemen on the other side must think that. last spring when the republicans put their alternative budget on the floor, it cut medicare outlays by $100 billion more than this bill does. it was in excess of $600 billion and that targeted some fraud, waste and abuse. to argue that these are cuts that are disingenuous. there are two cuts with respect to tricare. w

[ inaudible ] maryland has won the last two meetings, including a victory last season. coach izzo knows exactly what he can expect from the terps tomorrow afternoon. good i think what we look forward to is we know we're going to play a good, tough, classy team that i think my players respect theirs and vice versa. and maybe we're a little bit of an underdog. that doesn't happen to us too often. maybe that's good. >> georgetown's loss is no longer the biggest upset in the tournament thanks to the number one overall seed kansas. they suffered a sunning second round loss. it is the upset of

two natural wonders.aste. >>> if house democrats muster the votes today, two things happen. the senate verlgs sion of healt care reform will be ready for the president to sign into law. second, house democrats will pass a fix-it bill, to correct the things they don't like about the senate measure. that bill has to go to the senate. if the senate goes the easy route, they will pass the fixes without change and send it off to the president. if the senate changes anything, adds or subtracts from the house measure, it must go back to the house for another vote before it goes to the president. senate republicans have some options which could delay or change the bill, including parliamentary challenges to any part of it as unrelated to the budget. we will do our best to get answers on what comes next from senators orrin hatch and dianne feinstein right after the break. >>> as we explained, even if the health care reform bill wins passage in the house today, it has another legislative hurdle to clear, back to th

i'm disappointed in hatch, co-sponsor of two of my favorite bills. one created the state children's health insurance program, the other signed last year by obama broadly expanded service opportunities. hatch worked on both with his dear friend the late edward m. kennedy after which the service bill was named. it was kennedy you'll recall who insisted that health care was a fundamental right, not a privilege. it's not zwrit use reconciliation. it would be immoral to do oths ear wise and let a phony argument about process get in the way of health coverage for 30 million americans. discuss. >> democrats, this is not a fight between republicans and democrats in a real sense. it's between democrats and the people out there. 58% of the people are against this bill. and very few are for it. the fact of the matter is, they are going to abuse the reconciliation rules and let me tell you. the reconciliation rules have never been used for such sweeping social legislation like this. this is one-sixth of the american economy. it's sweeping in effect. and there ha

two years ago the saudis cracked down on al qaeda.ed many of the operatives south into yemen. that laid the foundation for this group al qaeda in yemen. the same group that claimed responsibility for the attempted bombing on christmas day here in the u.s., shep. >> shepard: what do we know about their contact in yemen? >> well, according to a saudi official, the saudis were operating independently and waiting for orders from yemen. in recent statement al qaeda in yemen vowed to disrupt the saudi oil industry which is consistent with the network's stated goal to damage and return the united states, shep. >> shepard: you can only imagine what this would do to the price of oil everywhere. >> first of all the saudis have heavily fortified the oil fields because they know that is a target for al qaeda. the heritage foundation here in washington conducted a simulation to measure the impact of such an attack on the oil fields and on saudi's hankers. the result was a massive spike in oil prices that almost doubled oil prices at this point. th
